Don't manually edit NFO files. You can if you REALLY want to bore yourself to death.
I tried to get this in as few screenshots as possible, so there's a bit of missing context but hopefully it makes sense. All of this is Jellyfin, as I said, seek help with Sonarr through their documentation.
First up, I'd enable the AniDB (or your preferred anime DB plugin) via Dashboard > Plugins (you may have to go to Catalog and install it, which will require a restart). Then, go to your anime library/ies and uncheck other sources for METADATA and check only AniDB or your preferred source. You can keep other sources for image fetching, in fact, Fanart has some awesome images for series, episodes, banners, etc. Just make sure you rank them by preference. Set when you prefer for the metadata to be refreshed. I set this to never, but I want to set the metadata once and have it be done with. It will look something like this:
From there, you can either go to your entire library (Dashboard > Libraries) or just the series in question and refresh the metadata. For the Library route (careful if you don't have a bunch of items that need fixing), click the kebab -- three vertical dots -- and click Scan Library, choose Replace All Metadata from the drop-down, and check the box if you want new images from the sources you chose.
If things still aren't correct, like a series isn't matching up or an episode (like the above) is giving you trouble, use the trusty Metadata Editor. It's hidden. I have to look for it every time. Click the profile icon in the top right (you must be an administrator) and click Metadata.
The left column shows your media, the right column will populate the individual metadata for an item when you select it. Remove all IMDB, TMDB, TVDB, etc. IDs when editing this data. Remove everything except correct series name, episode number, season number, and any other information you're 100% sure of. You can find the episode ID if you want to make it easier, but hopefully it'll be able to identify just from the fragments you provide.
Hope this helps!
