AniDB

About

AniDB, or Anime DataBase, is a non-profit, publicly accessible online anime database where users can freely add or edit information. It serves as a comprehensive resource for anime news, recommendations, and detailed information, offering robust tracking capabilities for episodes and movies. Its product portfolio includes a free API (though some users note it as obsolete), data export/import, and customizable themes, including a dark mode. A unique and highly valued feature for anime collectors is its file rename tool, which scans local files, performs CRC checks against its database, and automatically renames them, also serving as a corruption checker. While recognized as a leading site for anime collectors due to these advanced features, user feedback points to an outdated user interface and the absence of a dedicated mobile application. AniDB operates under a Free Proprietary license.
