animdl is a command-line tool designed to download anime and manga from various online sources. It automates the process of searching for, selecting, and downloading episodes or chapters. Users can specify the anime or manga title, the desired quality (if available), and the download directory.
The tool often scrapes websites for content, leveraging libraries to handle website interactions and download tasks. Its primary function is to streamline the anime/manga acquisition experience, eliminating the need for manual downloading through a web browser. It supports a range of websites and uses features like batch downloading. Please be mindful of copyright laws and terms of use of the service you're accessing when using animdl.

The functionality of animdl heavily relies on the target websites' structure. Changes to those sites may break the tool. Updates to animdl are often required to maintain compatibility.
Downloading copyrighted material without permission is illegal in many jurisdictions. Using animdl implies acceptance of these risks.

The availability of sources for downloading anime/manga is subject to change. Popular sites are often targeted by takedown notices, leading to source closures or modifications. Users may need to update their source lists or configurations frequently.

The installation method can vary. Usually the command is downloaded from github and requires Python. Some distributions might package it, but it is recommended to check the original source code before using it.
