Titles with a comma are incorrectly split in other_titles arrays
Issue #145
wontfix
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.

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

Probably OK:
- https://myanimelist.net/anime/32601/12-sai__Chicchana_Mune_no_Tokimeki
- https://myanimelist.net/anime/10216/Yondemasu_yo_Azazel-san_TV
- https://myanimelist.net/anime/22057/Inari_Konkon_Koi_Iroha__Inari_Konkon_Semishigure
But after dot can be year or "Episode"
This isn't always truth: After All, I Love You - it becomes from editor
Some example for test
- How it works with numbers: City Hunter: $1,000,000 Conspiracy
- or coma on end of list: Shining Hearts: Shiawase no Pan - Kokoro ga Todoita Picture Drama,
- Dot is part of title: Mr Ajikko II,
- titles, when after coma isn't space: Yamigarishi: Kimaira Tenryuuhen
-
- changed status to wontfix
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.

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".
