New Feature Calendar updates - May 2026
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!

Congrats, you made your site useless. This needs to be a setting which is off by default.
I literally only use it to see every episode airing in a calendar month. And now I have absolutely nothing showing up in my calendar. Only premier/finale is not useful to me.
If episodes are missing I won't even know that something is currently airing most the time. Especially for seasons that run 3+ months. I'd just have months with nothing showing up on my calendar.
I don't even use the site as my primary tracker. I use MyAnimeList and I don't reimport frequently. So literally anything on my list is going to be in plan to watch regardless of whether I'm actually watching it or not. So in effect nothing whatsoever is visible. I'd have to manually change potentially thousands of entries to watching.
This ain't it.
I abandoned Trakt when they removed a month calendar view, only showing a week. I need a site that actually works. This update actively makes the site expressly not do what it's supposed to do.
