The Movie Database Support

Example: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/tv?include_adult=false&language=en-US&page=1

There is a request to search for TV shows, which also includes anime, but the search results intersect TV series and anime. The response has a genres field, perhaps it can be used to filter anime separately, but what are the anime IDs?

Your Search example is for searches using the title.
If you have the title, you don't need anything else.

But if you are going to search without having the title and using the Genre field, then you should use Discover.

We don't have the Anime Genre.
We have Animation. ID 16.
You can use it in conjunction with the Keyword field.
And most Animes have the keyword anime and its variations.

anime
based on anime
korean anime
idol anime
anime studies
anime production
anime inspired
anime director
anime studio
legendary anime moments

I'm just trying to use the api for suggestions during search, but I need to differentiate between anime and tv shows. Also I don't have a full title, just a part of the phrase, but apparently filtering by id = 16 is my only option.
