Which entries do we keep now? Should it be like Burn the Witch and we only keep the series and make use of the theatrical flag instead?

The theatrical flag only works well when single episodes are screened individually, or when the whole series is screened as film. In my opinion, we have to keep the two films. But should we make an exception and keep the miniseries version too? I think I've removed some similar series in the past.

I honestly don't know what to do in this case, but I feel like keeping both the movies and the miniseries is the right move, considering they're even releasing on the same date.

We already have a previous case of an anime released the same day as 2 episodes and as a movie : https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/31714/discuss/5e55494135811d00175cff86
