Custom request routing
Description
I maintain a separate library in Plex for anime movies so they aren't mixed in with non-anime films. This requires them to have a different root folder in Radarr. However, unlike the Sonarr configuration, there's no anime-specific options in Overseerr's Radarr configuration. This means that requests for anime films need to be moved to the correct root folder and have their quality profile changed.
Desired Behavior
In the Radarr service configuration, there should be quality profile and root folder options specifically for anime movies similar to Sonarr's configuration menu.
If a movie's original language is Japanese and one of the genres is animation, consider the movie to be anime and use the anime-specific options in the configuration for adding the movie to Radarr.
Additional Context
This feature is already implemented in Requestrr. The logic described above was taken from their source code: https://github.com/darkalfx/requestrr/blob/4c6aed1aeca8f514d61409dad2eb7a3c94ca7cce/Requestrr.WebApi/RequestrrBot/DownloadClients/Radarr/RadarrClientV3.cs#L507 https://github.com/darkalfx/requestrr/blob/4c6aed1aeca8f514d61409dad2eb7a3c94ca7cce/Requestrr.WebApi/RequestrrBot/DownloadClients/Radarr/RadarrClientV3.cs#L278
It seems like anime movies are tagged with the anime keyword on TMDb, just like TV shows are. Since that's the case, we should use the same logic that's already present for TV shows.

Sonarr only has special logic for this because it has a special anime series type. We will handle this with our request routing feature in the future.
I will leave this open actually so we can reference the issue then. But it will not work as described here.

This option would be also useful for users like me who segregates movies based on languages and genre
I have my library separated based on languages in both plex and radarr so its easy to select a movie quickly in the particular language
Radarr instance has multiple root paths and user requesting through overseerr should select the appropriate root folder so once the download is done, it will be moved to the specific language folder.
It would be better to auto select root folder based on tags of the movie like below so users don't request in the wrong root folder
Language - English == /English Genre - Animation == /Animated and so on...
Also using multiple root folders/libraries for things like "kids movies". Ability to define some rule set how overseer would select root folder without user interaction would be very welcome. Users constantly forget to change folders for their requests and then they are looking for stuff in the wrong libraries.
There are few support posts regarding root folders in the discord, really hoping for this to be implemented in dev to give it a go: https://discord.com/channels/783137440809746482/1134590849922117692 https://discord.com/channels/783137440809746482/1165648594481713152 https://discord.com/channels/783137440809746482/1155866875335561278 https://discord.com/channels/783137440809746482/1133141052333756486
