This would be my approach:
I would make a mixed TV & Movie library called Anime. Mixed libraries are a little wonky & usually not recommended & I am not sure if they will be available in the next major Jellyfin release.
Because Anime or Cartoons have TV series, short films & feature films they are hard to keep in one library. A mixed library should have no problem getting the metadata for the short & feature films but struggle to identify TV series when first added. I have had success adding series to mixed libraries by first adding them to my regular TV series library to get the initial metadata & later moving them from the regular TV series library into my mixed library. The series will then continue to update properly as new episodes are added.This might only work if you have chosen to keep the metadata (NFO) file with the media for that library. I have not tried it without doing this. Make sure you follow the correct file naming & folder structure for episodes & movies. Also make sure that you have installed the proper metadata plugins.
Hope this helps,
JJ
