Current Features

• Modular design allowing easy addition of features.

• Adds opening/ending themes data from MyAnimeList.
• Integrates MyAnimeList scores into AniList.
• Displays the total number of followers, following, forum threads, and comments on a user's social tab.
• Toggle option to display character lists as a grid (default) or as a list.
• Adds Reddit discussion links to anime or manga pages.
• Set default YouTube player volume.
• Hide global activity feed.
• Adds AniList links to MyAnimeList pages.
• And more!

Installation

Browser Extension

Chrome Web Store

Firefox Add-ons

The browser extension on the Firefox Add-ons Store is currently outdated. Working out some issues getting it published. It will eventually be updated, but for now, please use the userscript or chrome version instead.

Userscript

Userscript

If the above link just opens/downloads the file, it means your browser lacks a userscript manager. If that's the case then install one like Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey with the links provided below and then click on the above link again to finish the AniList Extras installation process.

Getting Tampermonkey

• Chrome
• Firefox
• Edge

Getting Violentmonkey

• Chrome
• Firefox
• Edge

Building/Development

To build the userscript/extension, you need Bun.

1. Clone the repository.
2. Run bun install to install dependencies.
3. Run bun run build to build the project. Built assets will be in the dist directory. Unpackaged extension will be in the .build directory.
   • Use bun run watch to watch for changes and rebuild automatically.
   • Use bun run watch:serve to serve the userscript at http://localhost:3000/anilist-extras.user.js for easy development with Violentmonkey.

Running bun run watch and bun run watch:serve will build with sourcemaps enabled for easier debugging. bun run build will not include sourcemaps by default but can be enabled by setting the --include-sourcemap flag.

Note: Since this project is primarily a userscript, the browser extension serves as a wrapper around it. Consequently, browser extension specific features/APIs cannot be used.

Planned Features (maybe)

• /characters support.

Credits

• Kana for the readme, banner, and script improvements.

• duncanlang for contributing and adding new features.
• Jikan for making interaction with the MAL API easier.

anilist-extras's Issues

[Bug] Appends endings multiple times

Steps to reproduce:

1. Load https://anilist.co/anime/99457/Sayonara-no-Asa-ni-Yakusoku-no-Hana-wo-Kazarou/
2. Scroll down
3. Note that endings info section (from MAL) is appended each time the page updates with new AniList info

I've yet to actually try to debug it, but it probably has something to do with the lack of an openings section.

It no longer works

Just as the title. Sadly after a long time of not breaking it finally seems to have broken.

Suggestion/Request:

Similar to adding the Anilist Link to MAL, add it to https://animension.to/

I.E. Use the Anilist api to search for the name of the anime and get the url from that if it find it.
https://animension.to/2417963969 Searches One Piece and the url would be the top result.

I am too lazy to do it myself. 😄

Direct links and edit hidden in forums

AniList-Extras/anilist-extras.user.js

Lines 31 to 33 in 7a013d7

	.hidden {
	display: none !important;
	}

AniList uses their own .hidden class to show the edit and direct link elements on mouse hover. With the extension enabled these are permanently hidden.

Completed/Started Date in Anime/Manga List Columns

I'm not sure how difficult it would be to do this (especially without making a secondary API call...) but it'd be nice to have extra columns in the anime/manga list for the completed/started dates similar to how you can configure it in MAL.
