Please allow for multiple metadata agents for TV shows

I did some searching and I found another topic discussing metadata preferences for music libraries, but I would also like to see the ability to choose different agents for shows. TheTVDB is terrible with anime and their mods are ridiculously stubborn.
Reference:
TVDB Forum post about Pokemon

TheTVDB does not follow the standard the rest of the internet has set out for example ‘Pokemon’ with episode numbers and seasons. IMDB, pokemon.com, TVMaze and the rest of the internet recognizes that there are 20+ seasons of Pokemon. TheTVDB stops at season 18, but has 140+ episodes in it. It makes it very difficult when using automated systems or re-namers that utilize other agents.

TheTVDB does a great job 99% of the time, but anime they struggle. Please allow the ability to change agents for individual shows. Thanks

Have you tried setting this series to DVD order in its Advanced configuration area?

The TVDB uses that for alternate orderings for some shows. Not sure if that’s the case here though.

You can do that.
‘Fix Match’ - ‘Search Options’ gives you the ability to pick another agent on a show-by-show basis.
You just need to have additional metadata agents installed.

By default, Plex has only TheTVDB and TheMoviedatabase on offer.
But there are 3rd-party agent for anime.
