Titles with a comma are incorrectly split in other_titles arrays

Issue #145 wontfix
Kyle Lanchman created an issue

Example: https://myanimelist.net/anime/34822/Tsuki_ga_Kirei

The synonyms for this title are As the Moon, So Beautful. and The Moon is Beautiful. However, the API returns:

...
"synonyms": [
      "As the Moon",
      "So Beautful.",
      "The Moon is Beautiful"
],
...

With the way MAL has these lists formatted, I can't think of a good way to fix this issue.

    I looked and I also can't think of a good way to fix the issue. MAL has no internal indicator of the title separation so short of special-casing each item there isn't a good way to handle any title that contains a comma. I'll leave open for now, but may have to close as a "can't fix".

    Later I try find more examples, but if title ends with dot, that mean: connect to pervous part with comma.

    Can't fix as long as MAL doesn't have markers for titles we can split across. The best we can do is what we're currently doing.
