Overview

Anime is a CLI tool that lets AI agents search for anime and pull up detailed information for humans. It relies on Jikan (the unofficial MyAnimeList API) and requires no account or API key, returning IDs, scores, genres, and synopses to inform conversations.

How This Skill Works

Use commands like anime search, anime info, anime season, top, and upcoming to query the Jikan API (api.jikan.moe). No authentication is needed; the tool uses Bash, curl, and jq to fetch and parse MAL data for easy integration into agent calls.

When to Use It

You need to find an anime by title or keyword.
You want full details for a specific MAL ID.
You want current season or top-ranked recommendations.
You want upcoming titles or releases.
You want results for a specific season (year and season).

Quick Start

Step 1: Run anime search "title" to find the MAL ID
Step 2: Run anime info <mal_id> for full details
Step 3: Run anime season or anime top for recommendations

Best Practices

Search with precise titles or keywords to improve hit rate.
Confirm the MAL ID from search results before requesting info.
Respect Jikan rate limits: up to 3 req/sec, 60 req/min.
Use anime info for details like episodes, genres, studios, and synopses.
Leverage season/top for curated recommendations rather than broad queries.

Example Use Cases

anime search "one punch man"
anime info 30276
anime top 10
anime season
anime season 2024 fall
