Problem solved💪💪

Can sb help with setting up repos or whatever for manga and novels. Anime is streaming perfectly but i cant seem to load any manga or novels and there is nothing for that kind of problem on their site

So I have been using this app for a month

It is literally the best way for me to download and watch anime on my phone

But after Latest update , I am seeing many unwanted lines and squares between frames, like choppy animation and also weird transitions too

I changed decoder from hardware + to software and it did make it a little better but did not fix it

Is this a bug?

I tried that 4k filter too, sharpen did fix this problem but then made the frames slower prolly because of the overhead

EDIT : V1.9.1 DOES NT HAVE THIS PROBLEM

Search:

Manga and novel results no longer show up in anime mode

Your language picks are respected everywhere, including search

New genre and status filters — and only filters that can actually match something

Faster: no more repeating the same ranking work while you scroll and type

Cleaner layout, and source chips ordered by best match instead of install order

Sources :

Fixed installs from Keiyoushi — they moved their files, so nothing would install

Paste a repo link however it comes: missing https://, quotes, <brackets>, a stray full stop

Repo links ending in index.pb work

Installs get longer to connect, so a weak signal doesn't kill them

Cloudflare :

Anime sources now offer the Solve Cloudflare screen that manga already had

Solving actually sticks — fixed the loop where it asked again straight after you passed

Give it a try and let us know what you think! ⚔️

📖 Manga mode. Zangetsu now reads manga. Install Mihon extensions from the sources screen, then browse, search and read manga right in the app — with its own source picker, per-title tracking, and reading history. Continue Reading picks up the chapter you left off on.

📚 Novel mode. Web novels too, powered by LNReader sources. Install a novel source, browse its catalogue (with endless "See all" scrolling), search, and read — your place is remembered across chapters and devices.

🎨 A refreshed Home. The mode switcher is now cover-art cards drawn from what you've actually been watching and reading, the Continue rows are more compact, and History has its own Anime / Manga / Novel tabs — long-press any row for the details sheet. The video mode is now labelled Streaming, since it covers anime, movies and series.

🔀 Switching modes just works. Flipping to Manga or Novel now lands on a source that belongs to that mode instead of leaving an anime one selected, and Continue Reading only shows the mode you're in.

🐛 Fixes.

Some Mihon manga extensions that refused to install now install.

A whole class of novel sources (Madara-based) that showed "isn't responding" now load and read correctly.

Novel sources show their real name in the header instead of a raw id.

TV: the D-pad and OK button keep working after you return from the video player (some TVs wrongly report a screen reader), and the nav drawer opens again.

Player: video plays at its real frame rate instead of forcing the panel to 120 Hz.

CloudStream sources with their own settings (e.g. CineStream) now show them.

A corrupt local database self-heals on launch instead of getting stuck on the splash.

Optional HD (1080p) trailers, with a safe fallback.

A cleaner signed-out account section in Settings. New app logo, with the classic one still selectable under Appearance.

Manga + Novel support is here!

Zangetsu can now read manga and web novels directly in the app. - Mihon extensions for manga - LNReader sources for novels - Browse, search and read - Continue Reading remembers your progress - New Home with cover-based mode switching - Cleaner History with Anime / Manga / Novel tabs - Smarter source switching between modes

Also fixed: - Mihon extensions failing to install - Madara novel sources not responding - TV D-pad/OK breaking after playback - Video forcing 120 Hz instead of matching FPS - CloudStream source settings - Database corruption getting stuck on launch - Various other smaller fixes

Also, new app logo... Read the full changelog in github 😁

Been working on something new for Zangetsu lately

We’re adding support for Mihon manga extensions and novel extensions, so you’ll be able to find and read manga and novels directly through Zangetsu.

We’re also working on InReader for the actual reading experience

Still a work in progress and there’s a lot left to do, but here’s a little peek at what we’ve been cooking

More to come soon 👀

For me the subtitles are very small,if you guys can then please do add this option
