AniTUI

An app to watch anime from the shell.

While ani-cli is pretty good, it aims to be minimalistic. This has compromized some functionality.

AniTUI attemts to have all the features of ani-cli while adding some more interactivity such as TUI. However the TUI interface is not yet implemented, the CLI version is just as powerfull as ani-cli.

man ani-tui

This section is a manual on how to use ani-tui. Please note that this interface may change later.
