synonyms_chinese array has string quotes outside of array

[Thomas Aunvik]

I used this image, (Yes i know this is not how its not supposed to be used, but i tested it and i got json errors)

And the json response is: Json Response

As you can see here that synonyms_chinese is "synonyms_chinese":"[]", not

"synonyms_chinese":[

],

Since i am using Newtonsoft.Json for C# i am deserializing the object, but beacuse of this json value error is, i am getting this error, which is not fixable unless the json api is fixed, or i just ignore using that value at all. or use dynamic values.

Error:
Error converting value "[]" to type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.String]'. Path 'docs[4].synonyms_chinese', line 1, position 3182.

EDIT:

Got same issue with this picture: (Spoilers sorry)

Looking into the database, I've found a total of 163 records with issues.

The root cause lies in an admin page (which is not included in this repo) which manage anime titles.
The DB records has been cleaned up and should be OK now.

Thanks for reporting this issue. ;)
