Alright so I made this post 2/3 years ago now and I have not maintained it at all lmao. Lets just entirely rewrite it because a lot has changed since the last update, namely an entire rewrite in a different programming language (a language I am not familiar with mind you).

This program is essentially just MAL but local, will add ability to sync with MAL eventually, with the ability to take you to anime streaming sites (currently only twist.moe, shall implement more).
When I was 16, I created the original version because I didn't know MAL existed. Now I just prefer it because its a whole lot faster and I can customize it however I want (namely streaming sites).

Screenshots:
Watch List
Adding Anime

Instructions:
1. Start program (bruh)
2. Go to the watch or watched tab
3. Press the ± button at the top left
4. Enter in the anime name and comment (comment is simply additional information for personal use)
5. Press Add
6. ???
7. Profit

Program is still being developed, its not perfect

They said "There is no santa clause" I simply asked them "If santa clause isn't real then are you?" After that the voices in my head stopped speaking to me

Well its not a universal windows application/windows store thing but i guess its similar (i didn't know malclient existed). My program will download + display the images of everything you have in your watch/watched list, display the myanimelist description of it and allow you to click the images to take you directly to where you can stream it (on masteranime). All is done by simply entering the anime name and my program handles the rest (which is the problem i had a problem achieving)

I am working on the built-in episode viewer right now so i will push that update in like an hour. Right now though it will still directly send you to the anime page with all the episodes on it. Thank you for the feedback dude. Its my first time releasing it to the public so there may be bugs... i am only a single guy xD.

Yeah. Its mainly the animations on the side panel that get to me. They are a bit janky when the watch/watched list is populated.

Accidentally left in a bug that caused the program not to work at all. Fixed in new update (you have to have 'Anime:' at the top of your Need to watch.txt core file. When the file didn't exist - doesn't ship with program - it would create a file without this 'Anime:' first line)

try the new link? The program has auto update but if you cant even load the form then it wont trigger the update. I changed the link to the latest version. If not then ill try provide possible dependencies to make the exe fully portable.

It's working now. Really love your layout, easy on the eyes (reminds me of Pocket Mal). Small but try to change this?. I'd recommend http://9anime.to for an alternative to watch, never used Masterani.

ummm rookie mistake. I forgot to change the form name... For god sake xD.
Ill get right on it, ill also add options to customise the different anime providers. Ill include your 9anime.to suggestion.
NOTE: just checked 9anime.to's javascript and they use a extremely similar search engine to masterani.me's. I can implement a option to change providers pretty easily.

Good job!

When I was 16, I only knew basics of c++ ^^

I'd recommend moving from WinForms to WPF (or UWP) though. Forms are ancient now and there's little point in learning/doing anything with them now.

Did you think about making it open-source on github?

Yeah i'ma make it open source pretty soon. Just need to fix a few things that i don't like about the coding/workarounds. I wanted to switch to WPF but i've always used winforms so i just haven't got around to using it

Entire UI rework. Much much smoother both in look and performance. Ill push the update maybe tomorrow or the day after. Still need to finish it with the new api.

V2.1.0
- UI
• Faster startup times
• Smoother Animation
• Better performance
• Sharp edges instead of rounded edges
• Additional animations
• Possibly customisation
-Code
• Improved multi threading
• More back-end xaml code
• Maybe open source soon
... More stuff (still working on it)

I don't know if its against the rules but i made a program to help index and keep track of all the anime you plan to watch and have watched.
I put a LOT of time into this programs automation tasks and this is the result. It was created by me to simply make my life easier (i like to automate tasks and MY MEMORY is literally the worst thing in the world) -> thought id release it because why not?

Created by Kyle Pelham
Age: 16 (2017)

Screenshots:



Instructions: (please wait for program to initialize during startup)
1. Start the program and goto the edit tab
2. Add the anime you would like by either:
entering its name into the anime box (and a note in the comment box) and pressing 'add'
or
pressing the 'edit' button and editing the current tabs text file manually (default is watch)

EXAMPLE:


3. After adding the things you have either watched or are planning to watch, simply press the watch/watched button and let my program retrieve the images.
4. Click the anime you would like and the page to watch it will load.
5. ???

NOTE: The two 'high confidence' detections are there because i scrambled/obfuscated the program so people cannot rip off my work and call it theirs.

IMPORTANT:
My program isn't perfect and cannot always receive the anime's watch page (typically the anime name is either too long/short or contains characters that don't play nice with master anime's page elements). The program will initiate a manual search in its place.
Please report bugs. ;P

THERE EXIST IN THIS WORLD SOMETHING NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN
IT'S GENTLE SO VERY SWEET
THE GLIMPSES IS ALL IT TAKES TO MAKE A PERSON CRAVE IT
THAT'S WHY IT'S NEVER BEEN SEEN
THAT'S WHY THE WORLD HAS KEPT HIDDEN
MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN
BUT ONE DAY, IT WILL BE FOUND

BY THE PERSON WHO IS MEANT TO FIND IT. BECAUSE THAT'S HOW IT WORKS.

thank you. Its a little old but it still works alright. I actually coded all of it from scratch since i was too lazy to look up an api when i originally coded it and after i remade it, the majority of the public apis i tested were slower than this code (except for mainstream cached anime) so i just kept it the same :0
