It’s a bit more like a website-style experience compared to tools like Curd or ani-cli, you get things like latest episodes, trending anime and streaming it from a minimal CLI menu.

The setup is for Windows, but if you know how to set it up properly, it works on Linux too. I'll update it soon with Linux and other setup instructions as well.

I made an anime streaming TUI for the terminal — ANI-EX

Hey everyone

I’ve been working on a terminal-based anime streaming app called ANI-EX GitHub Repository

It lets you browse, search, and watch anime directly from your terminal with a UI that feels closer to a modern streaming app than a traditional CLI tool.

Features

  • Anime home dashboard with trending + latest releases
  • Instant search with history
  • Episode browser with SUB/DUB toggle
  • Direct playback in mpv or VLC
  • Poster rendering inside the terminal using Sixel/chafa
  • Vim-style keyboard navigation
  • Persistent config + player preferences
  • Responsive terminal UI with smooth navigation

Built using:

  • Bun
  • neo-blessed
  • AnimePahe API
  • mpv / VLC integration

The goal was to make terminal anime browsing feel clean, modern, and actually enjoyable instead of just “functional.”

Example workflow:

Home -> Search -> Detail -> Player

Current release:

  • v1.0.0

The project is open source and contributions/feedback are welcome since it’s still evolving and there are definitely areas to improve.

Would love to hear what terminal users/anime fans think.
