Also in Anibito

  • Filler and recap lists for long series, and a setting that hides filler episodes
  • Watch order for series with several seasons, and an archive of past seasons
  • Home and Lock Screen widgets, and a Live Activity that counts down to the next episode
  • Spoiler protection for comments on episodes you haven’t watched
  • Badges, a year in review and a My 9 Anime card to share
  • The app in 11 languages: English, Turkish, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Arabic, Indonesian, Russian, Japanese and Korean

What Anibito doesn’t do

  • It doesn’t stream anime or manga; it shows where a title can be watched legally.
  • It runs on iPhone and iPad. An Android version is planned, not out yet.
  • Your list lives in the app; this website is a catalog and schedule, not a web version of your list.
  • Anibito has no groups; talk happens in reviews and episode comments.

How to move your list

  1. Make sure your Kitsu list is public.
  2. In Anibito, open Settings, then Import, and choose Kitsu.
  3. Type your Kitsu username. Your anime list comes over (from MyAnimeList, your manga list too); the username isn’t stored.
  4. Anibito copies the list once and doesn’t keep syncing with Kitsu. You can export your Anibito list in MyAnimeList format at any time.
