AnimDL is a powerful anime downloader and streamer for your favorite anime(s).

AnimDL - Download & stream your favorite anime in best qualities

AnimDL is an incredibly powerful tool to download and/or stream your favorite anime alongside realtime upscaling.

The only tool in existence that can bypass 9Anime's cloudflare protection and batch download from it.

The core advantage of this tool is that, it can download and stream from the sites mentioned below without using inefficient dependencies like Selenium and JS Evaluators. This tool has taken advantage of internal streaming mechanisms in different site(s) such that, it acts as a browser itself internally to hunt down stream URL(s).

IMPORTANT

If you're using the cli.py file, the search query mechanism will only search through Animixplay unless you enter the url of a supported website.

For example:

Query	Will Recognize	Action
https://animepahe.com/anime/b0c3ed18-0721-df22-574b-63dc56a57f68	Yes	Will start scraping One Piece from AnimePahe
https://animepahe.com/play/b0c3ed18-0721-df22-574b-63dc56a57f68/321b254b5d2f1349dc49b6db4f43ff028591e51c1b3ce7f51f23e1c2d0606961	Yes	Will convert to anime URL and start scraping One Piece from it. This will not download a singular episode.
https://twist.moe/a/one-piece	Yes	Will start scraping One Piece from Twist
https://animixplay.to/v1/one-piece	Yes	Will start scraping One Piece from Animixplay
one piece	No	Will search through Animixplay and show selections

The only way of interacting with something other than Animixplay URLs is to put the URL referencing to the providers mentioned below. This is done because:

• Searching through multiple sites is slow and inefficient.
• Twist does not have a good search mechanism. (One Piece is not available but the above link will work.)
• AnimePahe's search ajax cannot resolve Anime if the query string is less than 4 characters.

9Anime not working?

If 9Anime is not working, it's probably because a captcha has appeared at the site, just go here and solve the captcha!

Want more sites?

AnimDL currently supports the best anime sites. If you want me to add support for your site, make an issue!

Coming soon (features)

• HLS downloading; a support for downloading m3u8. There are libraries for this but they are not that efficient.
• GUI!?

Streaming

Streaming needs an additional dependency known as mpv, you can download it from here.

This dependency is incredibly efficient for streaming and light-weight too. You need to add it to your PATH for the tool to detect and run it.

Shaders

You can stream your favorite anime with realtime shaders from bloc97/Anime4K. This means that you can upscale your anime to an incredibly high resolution. (A low quality 480p can be converted to 2160p).

To use this feature, download your shaders to the working directory and make sure to configure shaders while using the "stream" feature. All you need to do is type down the shader name. To use multiple shaders, you may separate shaders using ';'.

For example:

Anime4K_Denoise_Bilateral_Mode.glsl;Anime4K_Upscale_CNN_M_x2_Deblur.glsl can be passed as the shader argument given that both Anime4K_Denoise_Bilateral_Mode.glsl and Anime4K_Upscale_CNN_M_x2_Deblur.glsl are downloaded to the working directory from here.
