-## 12. Database Location
+## 12. Series Storage: Database vs Files (Deprecated)
+
+### File-Based Storage (Removed in v2.0)
+
+Prior to v2.0, series metadata was stored in two files per anime folder:
+
+| File     | Contents                                                |
+| -------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `key`    | Series provider key (e.g., `"attack-on-titan"`)        |
+| `data`   | JSON serialization of `Serie` object                    |
+
+File structure example:
+```
+/anime/Attack on Titan (2013)/
+├── key          # Contains: attack-on-titan
+├── data         # Contains: {"key": "...", "name": "...", "episodeDict": {...}}
+├── Season 1/
+│   └── ...
+```
+
+### Database Storage (Current)
+
+Since v2.0, all series metadata is stored in the `anime_series` table with `Episode` records for episode tracking. This provides:
+
+- **ACID transactions** for data consistency
+- **Foreign key constraints** (cascade delete)
+- **Indexed queries** for fast lookups
+- **No filesystem dependency** for metadata
+
+### Migration from Files to Database
+
+The `Serie.save_to_file()` and `Serie.load_from_file()` methods are deprecated but still functional for backward compatibility during migration:
+
+```python
+from src.core.entities.series import Serie
+
+# Old file-based loading (deprecated)
+serie = Serie.load_from_file("/anime/Attack on Titan (2013)/data")
+
+# New database-based loading
+from src.server.database.service import AnimeSeriesService
+serie = await AnimeSeriesService.get_by_key(db, "attack-on-titan")
+```
+
+### Removing File Dependencies
+
+After verifying database schema supports all fields, file-based storage can be removed:
+
+1. ✅ Schema verified: All `Serie` fields have corresponding DB columns
+2. ✅ Migration complete: All existing series migrated to database
+3. ❌ File cleanup: Remove `key` and `data` files (pending)
+
+**Note:** The `save_to_file()` and `load_from_file()` methods will be removed in v3.0.0.
