There was a problem hiding this comment.
Hey there - I've reviewed your changes - here's some feedback:
- Consider automating the JSON tier generation (e.g., via a script or CI step) to ensure consistency between Radarr and Sonarr files and reduce manual errors in future updates.
- Verify that renaming the tier files (removing references like “SeaDex muxers” and “FanSubs”) doesn’t break any existing collection filter references or lookup logic elsewhere in the codebase.
- It would help to include a summary of how many groups moved between tiers (or overall counts per tier) so reviewers can easily spot any unexpected migrations.

Pull Request
Purpose
As time has passed, various new anime groups have popped up, and older groups are having their releases trumped. Also, SeaDex now offers a way to properly pull stats for each release group. This brings the tiers in line as much as possible with the current SeaDex. This PR also includes an overhaul to the web tier, focusing on groups that style subs and grab higher quality audio now.
Approach
I went in and pulled the top 200 groups by counts of total releases, best dual releases, and best alt releases. I then took a stab at tiering them based on how often they would end up as the best release and penalized them if they had mostly alt releases that were being trumped by one of the higher tier groups. Groups with only best releases, even lower counts, were also given a slight boost since they would have specialized releases that filled a niche without being trumped, e.g. SoM and FateSucks. In effect, this basically expanded what used to be considered top tier results across the first 5 tiers and phased out a lot of other groups.
If a group existed within the current CFs but not in the new tiers, I validated their releases on Sneedex and Seadex and made sure they did not have more than 1 best release before removing. Most groups were either fansubs or had alt releases that were being trumped by groups elsewhere in the CFs. If a group only had a single best release or no best releases, I did not include them as these shows can be manually handled by users (less maintenance in the guides).
Open Questions and Pre-Merge TODOs
Please review this since there are major changes, and I might have made slight typos and mistakes. Also, I changed the name of the tiers to stop saying stuff like SeaDex muxers, FanSubs, etc. since that no longer applies. I have no idea if this breaks other things, the files themselves have that in their name. We can revert that, or someone else can help make the other changes needed to swap the CF names.
