Change status to currently-watching

Question

This afternoon I tried to implement changing the library status of an anime in my app but it didn't work. After wasting a lot of time I discovered that I didn't do anything wrong but the API does. When I try to change the status to currently-watching it goes to completed. (I was desperately trying to change an anime from completed to currently-watching...) All other statuses do work properly. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

The server-side code is probably

```
...
self.status = new_data['status']
self.episodes_watched = new_data['episodes_watched']
...
if (self.status == 'currently-watching' && self.episodes_watched == self.episode_count)
    self.status = 'completed'
```

which makes total sense, but simply doesn't take into account all scenarios.

Whoops. I think that's it. I'm sorry.

But why is it only doing this when I want to change it to Currently Watching and not with the other statuses? (For some reason I cannot edit my previous comment)

The status is automatically set to "Completed" if `episodes_watched` == `episode_count`. Maybe that's the reason.
