Aniterm

Stream anime from your terminal.

Requirements

mpv — video player
yt-dlp — streaming
curl_cffi — pip install aniterm[cloudflare] (needed for Cloudflare bypass)
python3
fzf — recommended for scrollable episode browser (apt/brew/pkg install fzf)

Install

pip install aniterm                    # from PyPI
pip install --upgrade aniterm          # update to latest
pip install aniterm[cloudflare]        # with Cloudflare bypass

Or run directly from the repo:

git clone https://github.com/amalxloop/aniterm.git
./aniterm/aniterm

Termux (Android)

pkg install mpv yt-dlp fzf python
pip install aniterm[cloudflare]

If your mpv doesn't support video (only null VO), aniterm auto-detects and opens the stream in Android's native video player.

Usage

aniterm <query>                   Search anime
aniterm <id>                      Browse episodes (fzf if installed)
aniterm <id> <ep>                 Play episode (subbed)
aniterm <id> <ep> -dub            Play dubbed episode
aniterm <id> <ep> -n              Next/prev prompt after playback
aniterm -i <query>                Interactive mode
aniterm <id> -i                   Pick episode interactively

Examples

aniterm cowboy bebop              # search (no keyword needed)
aniterm 1                         # list episodes
aniterm 1 1                       # play episode 1
aniterm 21 1000                   # play One Piece episode 1000
aniterm -i "attack on titan"      # interactive

Notes

Episode counts for ongoing anime (e.g. One Piece) are derived from AniList's nextAiringEpisode data
Transient 502 errors from the stream source are retried automatically (3 attempts with exponential backoff)
-dub may be unavailable for some anime; returns a clear error message if so
