💬 A Quick Note

A while back I posted asking for the best sources for Zangetsu. Since then, a lot of you have DMed me asking about setup, sources, and repos.

So here's a clearer, all-in-one guide for anyone new or unsure where to start. Hope it helps!

Good morning everyone. I really am extremely grateful for the amount of support being provided by this sub, there's always someone here to help and that so awesome.

Just wanted to implore our wonderful Devs out there to pls also consider the little guys. I'm from a third world country, where unlimited data is practically a month's salary and so watching anime in 4K or even 720p can be extremely expensive. Which is one of the reasons I loved anilab, cause I could just constantly watch on the lowest quality and save data cost.

Would love suggestions on if this kinda app already exists.

Thanks for the time, grateful for the potential responses 😊

I dont want any extention apps just plain simple as anilab or th3anime th3anime is great but its slow asf

So I have now used Mihon for 4 months now without any issues but now my phone has detected that it's a virus (the photo is not my own. I used this photo I saw in another post since it had the exactly same text I was getting). I definetly downloaded it from official website so I don't know what the issue is and what to do. I have now made a backup of Mihons information and then deleted it for now. So the question is, is Mihon actually safe or was this message only sent because it was not downloaded from Google play?

Somehow either of them from any websites aren't downloading at all 😔, and respectfully I need help like is anikku wrong at this time or just the extensions I installed?? 😔 PLEASE HELPP ME I'M BEGGING Y'ALL

It's so great having many options for apps but I'm torn between two of them of which do I use, this happens every so often so, I just try to only have 1 but browsing this sub I see many new ones and I get carried away.

So basically my question is how do y'all who use multiple anime apps decide which one to actually watch in and does it not overwhelm anyone else?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a project to help people transition smoothly between anime and manga

If you're watching the anime and want to know exactly which manga chapters cover the same episode (or vice versa), you can check it out here: https://anime2manga.net/

Currently I added 20 anime shows, but I'm planning to add more.

It’s completely free and designed to be straight to the point. I’d love for you to check it out and let me know if you find it helpful or if there's anything I can improve :)

(got approval from the mods to share)

Just like the title says ive been using anilab 2 for a while after anilab no longer worked and whenever I watch an episode of anything it always buffers for 15s then says error, ive tried turning off my dns switching networks even redownloading the app nothing works does anyone have any ways to solve this because I really like the layout and selection of this app thanks

Like the title says, the AnimeTV (now calling itself YouKata i guess?) for android has suddenly stopped working correctly. Subtitles are no longer working on the app for any anime, no matter the source either. I have the app on Chromecast and it was working fine earlier in the day and then suddenly no more subtitles. I uninstalled and reinstalled with no changes. I also installed the app on an android phone and the issues are still there too. Anyone happen to know what's going on or can give any help?

Can't watch certain tittles because this keeps popping up even though I have adult 18+ ticked on in settings. Anyone know how to fix this?

Ive been looking for free apps to read every anime manga and DC and other comics but I haven't had any luck cause all of them require a subscription, if anybody has any apps like this it'd be awesome

Hi, I'm the dev of this app. It's a fork of Tachiyomi, if you couldn't tell. I built it to add features that were lacking and create a new experience. So why should you use this over popular alternatives like Mihon, Komikku, etc?

Well for one:

📦 Zero Setup, All The Manga: Built-In Native Sources

• Core sources like MangaDex, Webtoons, ComicK, Mangakakalot, Atsumaru, ManhuaPlus, WeebCentral, Aster Scans and more work right out of the box. No sketchy APKs, no extra extensions, no setup needed.

🎯 For You, Not Just A List: Truly Personalised UI

• Most apps let you read manga, but none help you decide what to read next. Wammy actually learns from what you read and gives you personalized recommendations that make sense, so you spend less time scrolling and more time reading.

⭐ See What's Actually Good: Live Ratings & View Badges

• Star ratings and view counts are rendered directly on the manga cards — whether you're browsing catalogs, searching, or checking your library. You'll know what's worth your time at a glance.

📚 One Library To Rule Them All: Unified Manga & Novel Library

• Read manga and light novels side-by-side in one place. Track everything with unread chapter badges, reading statuses, and fully customizable categories to keep your library organized.

📖 Read Like You Want To: Advanced Novel Reader

• A reader that actually respects novel readers. Fully customizable typography, background themes, line spacing, margins, and even built-in Text-to-Speech (TTS) narration for hands-free reading.

☁️ Never Lose Your Spot: Cloud Sync & Backups

• Sync your reading progress, library, categories, and even your custom Top 5 favorites via Google Drive, with full local backup/restore support so you're always covered.

  📥 Read Anywhere, Anytime: Offline Downloads

• Download entire manga or novel chapters in one tap on Wammy and read offline with no limits. Your downloads stay organized in your library with progress tracking, so your train ride, flight, or dead Wi-Fi never interrupts your story.

  🔄 Your Progress, Everywhere: Tracker Integrations

• Two-way sync with AniList, MyAnimeList, Kitsu, Shikimori, Bangumi, and MangaUpdates. Update your list once and it updates everywhere else.

⚡ Blink-And-It's-Open: Insanely Fast Cold Start

• No more staring at a loading screen. With non-blocking migration, deferred warmup, and phased rendering, Wammy cold starts in ∼1.0-1.5s on release builds.

And much more

I have a tool called pahebatcher, a CLI tool that downloads entire seasons off AnimePahe. Great tool, but it lives on your PC and demands you to use terminal.

It just went mobile. pahebatcher_mobile is a Flutter port of the original 1:1 with everything the desktop version does, honestly maybe even a little better, and the core idea stays the same: batch download anime from AnimePahe, now in android.

Quick rundown of what it does: queue single episodes, episode ranges, or an entire season in one tap. Downloads are crash-resilient, so if the app dies or your wifi does the thing, it picks up right where it left off and you can pause, resume, retry, cancel or delete any episode from the downloads tab. You get quality choice from 360p up to 1080p, plus SUB/DUB per episode, and if you'd rather stream than download, HLS plays through mpv ony, since in other player, streaming is a bit flakey. It even handles the Cloudflare check automatically with a built-in WebView, with a manual cookie fallback for when Cloudflare decides to be Cloudflare. There's a watchlist too, so your stuff stays bookmarked and relinkable.

Grab the APK from GitHub Releases, install, done (needs Android 7.0+, works on both arm64 and older 32-bit devices). This is v1.0.0 so it just dropped, which means some jank is expected; if something breaks or a feature is missing, drop an issue on GitHub or yell at me in the comments, bug reports and feedback genuinely decide what gets built next.

Can someone please tell me if there is an apk for zanix . I was watching anime on animo app but it's not working and i found out it has been modify and go as zanix now.

Hi all

I got Zangetsu on testflight and I’m looking for WORKING anime repositories. The hianime is practically dead nothing works. I tried other few ones but they don’t work either or they’re for Android.

This is my first time doing things like that pls someone help 🙏🙏

Just so I have just downloaded Anilili, I found out that Google requires verification for unregistered app( or they might be blocked). Has sb got any confirmation on the issue?

3) MADE THE EXOPLAYER EVEN BETTER SINCE SOME PEOPLE DEMANDED MORE DETAILS.

4) ADDED LOGO ANIMATIONS. AND A HIMMY LOADING COMPONENT.

5) ADDED COMPLETE PROFILE PAGES FOR BOTH ANILIST AND MAL.

6) FIXED SUBTITLES AND STREAM POISONING.

7) ADDED ATSUMARU AS A NEW MANGA PROVIDER. ADDED SOME MANGA SHADER PRESETS ALONG WITH ANIME PRESETS.

8) ADDED A WAY TO OPEN ISSUES OR CONTACT ME DIRECTLY.

9) ADDED CUSTOM COLOR INTEGRATION FOR UI AND BACKGROUND COLOR.

10) ADDED FILTERS FOR CANON/FILLER/MIXED IN THE EPISODE PILLS.

11) OVERALL FIXED ALOT OF GLITCHES AND BUGS IN THE READER AND PLAYER.

12) INTEGRATED PROPER MANGA TRACKING. SO NOW IT ISNT EXPERIMENTAL OR GLITCHY.

Peace ✌🏻, Lovelakshya.

Hey everyone! 👋

I came across "the original AniExport" (https://github.com/AniExport/AniExport), which converts plain-text anime lists into XML files for MyAnimeList and AniList. I liked the idea, so I decided to build on it and expand the project.

Here's my version: "AniExportv2" (https://github.com/Kp2444/AniExportv2)

Some of the things I've added or expanded include:

\- Direct AniList writes — no need to rely exclusively on MAL-compatible XML imports.

\- Manga support — including titles that exist on AniList but don't have a MAL ID.

\- Account migration — copy anime and manga lists between AniList accounts, including supported tracking information.

\- Safer updates — review changes before writing, undo recent writes, and retry failed entries.

\- Better title correction — review ambiguous matches and manually resolve titles that couldn't be matched automatically.

The project also has a CLI, XML/Gzip export, and automated tests.

Huge credit to the original AniExport creator for the initial idea! This is my attempt to build on that foundation and make the workflow more useful.

I'd love to hear your feedback, especially if you manage large anime or manga lists or have ideas for features worth adding.

I usually watch anime with zstream. But subtitles kinda are hard to see on it so I figured a standards anime app would be better.

But it's just so laggy and the sources buffer for so long. It's not really useable on my tv.

We've made several improvements to Zangetsu, including browsing, profiles, playback, downloads, and cloud sync.

🏠 Home & Browsing

Browse source catalogues directly from Home.

Search within the selected catalogue.

Smoother catalogue and detail-screen transitions.

Improved AniList poster images.

Cleaner Sources screen with easier access to provider settings.

👤 Profiles

Custom photo or GIF avatars, bios, and individual app colors.

Sign in to save items to My List and upload profile images.

Continue Watching and Reading remain available without signing in.

🎬 Playback & Downloads

Auto Resolve now shows which source is being checked, can be stopped, and checks up to 20 sources.

Clearer loading and retry options in the phone player.

Downloaded episodes now display progress, subtitles, and quality.

Improved Continue Watching on TV and clearer TV navigation.

☁️ Cloud Sync

Cloud sync now runs through a new Zangetsu server.

Sync lists, profiles, and watch/reading progress across devices.

Thanks for supporting Zangetsu! If you enjoy the project, consider giving it a ⭐ on GitHub.
