### Description of your *issue*, suggested solution and other information

First of all sorry for my English. I'm foreign. Now, the problem is that if I want to download an episode (or a series) I want to create a folder for the files downloaded. So I made a command like this (YouTube) `-o "C:\Users\MyUser\Desktop\%(uploader)s\%(title)s.%(ext)s"` and it works, creating a folder named with the Uploader and inside all the files downloaded ( [here](https://pastebin.com/snhXmXj5)'s the verbose). I wanted to make something similar with Crunchyroll, I tried with `-o "C:\Users\MyUser\Desktop\%(series)s\%(title)s.%(ext)s"` and it seems like it is going well, but it doesn't create any folder.

Can someone of you try and see if is it only me? Thanks
