So, in your analysis, an "anthology" must be a singular release not part of an overall series, or a collection of stories together in one release as part of a series that is typically single-story releases. If a collection of stories is one of many under the same banner, then it's an audio series. Am I correct?

I think it would be wise at this point of the discussion to seek out some behind the scenes Big Finish info on the topic. Making a quick list based on your criteria of what should be considered an anthology and what should be a series, what do they call an anthology and a series?

If, for example, they call the Dark Eyes collections anthologies, maybe we should consider them as such: as (numbered) anthologies within a larger series, rather than series 1, 2, 3... within a larger series. So, in a sense, comparable to classic Who serials with smaller episodes within it. Season 1 and Series 1 (Doctor Who) are such because that is the terminology used by the Doctor Who production team. If Big Finish uses a different system, there is no reason not to consider them differently, rather than "telecising", and using a "telecentric" system only for the sake of consistency.
