How to setup Quality Profiles Anime

aka How to set up Custom Formats (Anime)

Note

This guide is created and maintained by FonduemangVI and rg9400

It's recommended to run two Radarr instances. One for Anime Movies and one for Normal Movies, or you can make use of Quality Profiles and score different Custom Formats (CFs) as required.

The aim of this guide is to grab the best release overall (as per SeaDex) and not necessarily just dual audio. The vast majority of releases can be found on Nyaa or AB

Nyaa is a public tracker while AB is an invite only tracker.

Quality Profile

We need to create a new profile called Remux-1080p - Anime due to the way anime can be named we will need to merge a few qualities together see here for an example.

We need to add Bluray-1080p Remux and Bluray-1080p into a group together, HDTV-1080p into the same group as WEBDL-1080p and WEBRip-1080p, and lastly HDTV-720p into the same group as WEBDL-720p and WEBRip-720p so that the scoring will work correctly.

Go to Settings => Profiles

!cf-settings-profiles

!cfa-mergedqualities

We then need to select and organise the qualities as seen below.

Scores marked with a ⚠ warning ⚠ are different to those used in the main guide

Default Scoring

The scoring that has been set is the recommended scoring, however some of the CFs are optional depending on what you prefer. Anime Dual Audio, Uncensored and 10bit can be given positive scores if you want to prefer content with these attributes.

Anime Raws and Dubs Only are negatively scored, however if you prefer these attributes you can give them a positive score.

Once the custom formats have been imported you can set the scores as above. To do this go to Settings => Profiles and select the Remux-1080p - Anime profile that was setup before.

!cf-settings-profiles

In the profile enter the scores as per the above table in this section.

!cfa-default-scoring

After you are done it should look similar to the image above, but using the current Guide Scores from the above tables.

Dual Audio Scoring

If you prefer Dual Audio releases you have a few options depending on your preference.

If you want to prefer Dual Audio within the same tier give the CF a score of 10, if you want it to be preferred a tier above give the CF a score of 101, and if you want to prefer it over any tiers give the CF a score of 2000.

If you must have Dual Audio releases set the Minimum Custom Format Score to 2000 in the Remux-1080p - Anime profile that you setup earlier.

Using this scoring you will still benefit from the tiers if a better release group does a Dual Audio release.

Below is an example of the scoring set to prefer Dual Audio over any tier.

!cfa-da-scoring

Uncensored Scoring

Note

Most BDs are uncensored by default, so most groups do not include that in the name.

If you prefer Uncensored releases you have a few options depending on your preference.

If you want to prefer Uncensored within the same tier give the CF a score of 10, if you want it to be preferred a tier above give the CF a score of 101.

Using this scoring you will still benefit from the tiers if a better release group does an Uncensored release.

Below is an example of the scoring set to prefer Uncensored a tier above.

!cfa-uncensored-scoring

Finishing up

Once you have set your preferred scoring you will need to make two more changes to your Remux-1080p - Anime profile.

Make sure Upgrades Allowed is ticked then set the Upgrade Until section to Remux-1080p and the Upgrade Until Custom Format Score to 10000 and set Language to Original

After this has been done your profile should look as seen below. This is an example of the Default Scoring setup.
