Add Priority Filters
So I ran into a problem where I was trying to filter TV shows by Animation only, but also excluding Anime, which resulted in Anime shows still showing since they also included the Animation tag. I think adding a way to prioritize filters in advanced search so that they apply in whatever order you specify would solve this problem, as well as similar conflicts. E.g., I can filter TV Series, then exclude Anime, then only show Animation results.

You can do this already, but it does require a small manual edit to an advanced search URL. Let’s start with the result you are seeking first which you can find at https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=tv_series,tv_miniseries&genres=animation&interests=!in0000027 You can adjust the filters on the left and the sort order via the menu at the top of the results. How did we get to this? 1. Start with the Interests page at https://www.imdb.com/interest/all/ 2. Open the Anime Interest at https://www.imdb.com/interest/in0000027/ 3. Click the “TV shows” link to arrive at https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=tv_series,tv_miniseries&interests=in0000027 4. Adjust this search to include the “Animation” genre via the filters on the left to reach https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=tv_series,tv_miniseries&genres=animation&interests=in0000027 5. Now the trick — to exclude Anime titles from the previous results, manually insert a “!” after the “interests=“ point to reach https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=tv_series,tv_miniseries&genres=animation&interests=!in0000027 Hope this helps.
