weeb-guidance 1.0.4

A random anime episode selector

Weeb Guidance

Weeb Guidance is a GUI tool built atop the functionality of the Jikan anime API and the content available at https://animixplay.to/ The user can select a random episode of an anime series of their choice. This will be handy if you have a series in mind that you want to watch or simply have on in the background, but you don't have a specific episode number in mind. The search bar can be slightly unresponsive at times due to the limitations of the API, So the collection windows provides the opportunity to save titles in a collection (manually input or copy+paste a title) which can be retrieved immediately.

Windows

Navigate to shortcut or installation path -> Right-click executable file -> Run as administrator

You should run as administrator!!! Otherwise, Weeb-Guidance won't have full access to the temp file location that it creates which can result in some strange crashes. No bueno.

After running Weeb Guidance you'll likely notice this Window:

Not to worry as this is the chromedriver loading up. Don't close it, but keep it minimized if you must. Ideally this wouldn't need to be opened, but its a bit of a pain to try to remove it, and an even bigger pain trying to rebuild this using a different method

Authors and acknowledgment

I would like to thank Humza Younus for crafting the icon/symbol. I would like to thank Grand Wizard/Professor Pat Parslow for not outright failing me in Business Programming when my code was a steaming heap of garbage. LOOK PAT! YOUR ENCOURAGMENT HAS BIRTHED THE CULMINATION OF MY IDEALS. MY MAGNUM OPUS. WITNESS ME!!!
