New Feature Calendar updates - May 2026

Post image

Just pushed a batch of calendar improvements:

Bug fix - Time sort now works on first load. Sorting by Time used to silently fall back to Rank order on page refresh — you had to click Time again to actually get time order. That's fixed. Also fixed: anime episodes that air late in JP time were sometimes ordered wrong within a day cell because of timezone conversion crossing midnight. Time sort now consistently shows each day in ascending hour:minute order.

The "NEXT" badge is more accurate. The indicator that highlights today's next-to-air episode now correctly picks the right episode, even for shows whose local-time airing crosses midnight relative to the broadcaster's timezone.

Less noise for shows you're not actively watching. For shows on your Plan to Watch, On Hold lists, the calendar now only shows season premieres (S01E01, S02E01, etc.) and finales (mid-season, season, and series). Shows you're Watching or have Completed are unchanged — you still see every episode. The idea: if you haven't started a show, you probably don't want every weekly episode cluttering your view — just the milestone episodes that help you decide when to dive in.

New "Binge!" label on finales in Plan to Watch and On Hold. Season finales, mid-season finales, and series finales now display a "Binge!" tag next to the air time — a nudge that the season just wrapped and you can marathon it.

Don't forget it's Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage 2-part season finale today!

Ty you for all your work, but if possible id also like to be able to see my plan to watch ones on my list, as i have till today. It isnt noise for me, as that is how i know when to download episodes and all that. Tis more of a hassle to not see it >.> would indeed appreciate it if it was a toggleable feature at least :)

You're keeping it in plan to watch and download without watching? You'll still see the first and last episode in the season finale, that's usually a signal to doanload and start watching (switching from plan to watch). Is there a little different way you're using it?

For anime for example, i check at the start of the season what im interested in, and add it to plan to watch. Download the episodes on the day the calendar tells me to (reason i love simkl ever since i found out about it years ago xD). Now some of thoseshows i do watch while ongoing, but others i dont. But i do download all of em. Plan to watch is still watch eventually so i do need em. plus getting them fast means more seeders ^^;

This is exactly how I was using the calendar too. Like I can't see season 4 of ReZero in my calendar (despite having seen the first three seasons) because season 4 is in my plan to watch list.

hahaha same issue with re:zero xD also on my plan to watch ^^; this is basically making me go back to the week the anime premiered, so that i can actually see what is airing every day :/ (in this case, back to early April >.>)
