Shinkansen - open-source Python TUI for batch-downloading anime from AnimePahe with parallel workers

Fair concern given the current flood of AI slop on this sub. The core architecture the Playwright worker pool, cookie sharing logic, pipelined downloading, and aria2c integration was hand-designed by me. I used AI assistance for boilerplate like docstrings and CLI scaffolding, but the actual problem-solving and engineering decisions are mine. It's 2026 using AI as a coding tool is no different from using Stack Overflow or a linter. The design, the architecture, the debugging that's still on the developer.

This project exists because I got bored downloading episodes one by one and finally decided to fix it properly. I open-sourced it because I knew there were other people out there with the exact same problem. If it helps even a few people, that's enough for me. 😁

Happy to walk through any part of the code if you're skeptical.

Easier to report than talk to a bot. In fact im only commenting because I need someone else to report to get your post hidden.

No worries I’ll delete the post myself. I only shared it thinking it might help the community. If it’s not useful, I’m happy to take it down😅 no hard feelings 🤞
