About AniCal

AniCal answers one question: when does the next episode air? Every series in the catalogue has a page with its full episode schedule, a countdown to the next episode in your own timezone, and links to the platforms streaming it. The catalogue currently covers 1,500 titles, 139 of which are still releasing episodes.

Airing schedules, titles, synopses, episode counts and cover art come from AniList, an open anime database with a public API. Scores shown on a series page are AniList community scores and belong to AniList's users, not to AniCal. Where a series has a MyAnimeList entry, that is linked from the series page too.

Schedules are re-synced from AniList on an automated job, so an episode date that moves upstream moves here as well. The most recent sync completed on September 15, 2026. Air times are stored in UTC and converted to your device's timezone in the browser. When a broadcast is delayed and AniList has not yet recorded the change, AniCal will still show the old date — the schedule is only ever as current as its source.

Every series exposes its facts as JSON at /anime/{slug}.json, and the catalogue is summarised for language models at /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt. These are free to read and cite.
