One of the compromises that need to be made IF you want Jellyfin to automatically sort your media and give proper metadata, is that you need to follow the Jellyfin naming guide.
So for anime, take an look at the Shows documentation: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/shows
You can keep your old structure, but you'll have to manually edit the metadata of each entry to get it sorted how you want it.
The most important thing is that the library gets linked to the "Anime" folder from your structure since Jellyfin expects the first-most subfolders to be shows.
