I can think of a way to achieve what you want, but not by organizing your files in the way you are currently doing.
You CAN have the "Season" (year+season) folders with the series in it, but each "Season" would have to be added to a library. Either in their own library, each "Season" being a separate library, or in one big library with each "Season" folder added as a library root.
With the former ("Season" libraries), you'd just end up with a boat load of libraries and you'd need to ensure that you didn't enable merging of shows across libraries. With the latter (one big anime library), you would then need to add each actual show's season to a Collection. And you'd name that collection to "Winter 2025", etc. The latter would require the "standard" file organization we have documented.
Library root > Show name (year) [tmdbid-#####] > Season # > S##E##.mkv
You'd add each "Season #" to the appropriate "Season + Year" collection it belongs to.
