What's New

Upcoming episode preview card — airing shows now show the next unaired episode at the end of the list with a relative "Airs in 6 days" / "Airs tomorrow" label.

Two new desktop ad placements on the anime detail page (≥1024px): one between Similar Anime and Continue Discovering, plus a sticky right-side skyscraper that only appears once you scroll past the hero.

Episode counts for open-ended airing shows (One Piece, Detective Conan, etc.) now self-correct after new episodes air — "1162 Episodes" instead of being stuck at the last-synced value.

Rent-a-Girlfriend S5 and similar split-season anime now get the correct episode thumbnails — added a per-show TMDB mapping system that bypasses the brittle title-based search.

Episode list refresh button now clears the stale cached episode data, so newly aired episodes appear immediately instead of after the cache TTL.

Sky-right ad on the anime detail page no longer overlaps the wide hero banner — it now anchors to the Episode Progress tracker and only appears once you scroll down past the hero.

Next-airing-episode label on currently-airing shows now self-corrects when AniList's data lags behind reality.
