Two other options: set the libraries to never refresh metadata or lock the metadata after properly identifying.
Never refreshing metadata would allow you to scan in the media, properly identify it or correct with the appropriate ID, and never have to worry about it changing. Locking fields is as simple as editing the metadata for an item and checking boxes to lock your fields of choice (likely all of them if you don't want anything to change).
Keep in mind that mixing anime and non-anime content will ALWAYS result in occasional misidentification of media and require admin intervention. Separating anime into a separate library, however, is fully automated and enabling a provider like AniDB enables you to identify extremely esoteric or rare anime that do not have an entry in TMDB/TVDB (or other metadata providers).
