Not all series are appearing in my library

[Lacaillex 2]

Pretty much everything goes on no problem, but there are a couple (e.g. Bleach Thousand Year War and Tokyo Ghoul) that refuse to appear. They are organized in the same way as everything else but don't appear. Nothing unusual about them, but no matter what I do it's like emby doesn't see them. Except it should. The nfo appeared in the relevant folders, they just don't show up in the library. I've refreshed, restarted, rescanned, searched, added to other contributing folder locations, changed their file name, and nothing seems to help. The only way they will appear is if I stick them in a folder for another series under a show that is already listed. Then they pop up like a season, which is just ridiculous. I'm not sure what else to try. Help.

Bleach Thousand Year War and Tokyo Ghoul

How are your files named and organized? 

1) Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War is listed as part of Bleach (2004) series with both providers:

- Season 17 with TVDB, https://thetvdb.com/series/bleach/seasons/official/17

- Season 2 with TMDB, https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/30984-bleach/season/2

So it'll be scraped as either of those (according to your preferred meta-providers and naming convention used), you can't have it as a separate series automatically; but what you can do is disable library option "Automatically merge series spread accross multiple folders" which will result in two entries for Bleach (2004) and then manually edit/append metadata/artwork for Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War one. Personally, I'd just leave it as a part of overarching/original series. 

2) Tokyo Ghoul is likely being recognized as a part of some other similarly-named show and merged as well, try naming series folder:

Tokyo Ghoul (2014) [tvdbid=281249] 

delete any existing NFOs, scan media library afterwards.

Adding a date to the folder name worked! I have it with my films and regular shows but not with my anime collection. Problem resolved, thank you Grim!
