Hey @ExCrafter : Can you please tell me what specific features this source has, that others do not have? We already have many great sources, and adding another would increase maintenance cost.

For Devs: I took a quick look, and the website looks very simple in terms of complexity (amazing for web scraping). The only problem I see is that the website merges every season of an anime into one url. This can cause problems when syncing with Anime Listing Services.

@uttiya10 this source seems to have also Cartoon and not only anime. Like Family Guy, American Dad and other. Also I do not understand what you mean with:

merges every season of an anime into one url

All the animes that i searched has a different link for all the seasons (for example Family Guy has season-1 ,season-2)

[uttiya10]

@Catta1997 Weird, all the anime I searched (Assassination Classroom, My Hero Academia, etc) all had their seasons combined into one link.

@uttiya10 doesn't seem like much of a problem, a simple Regex can parse the names.

[Catta1997]

@snowden42 there is two “problems”:

• missing image (maybe you can search on google or MAL the name of the anime and use that image)
• you have to “explore” all the links returned by a search before show results.

It could be very slow

It seems like some of the titles are split into different pages by season, while the others are listed under a single page. We want the app to mimic the organization of the source website, so if we're going to implement this website, the Source should return the episodes in the same order and organization as they are on the site.

NineAnimator does have mechanisms to handle multiple seasons in a single Anime object (see the implementations of the WonderfulSubs source), so we shouldn't need to run any extra processing for those episodes.

Also, @Catta1997 what did you mean by "explore" all the links from the search results?

you have to “explore” all the links returned by a search before show results.

I did some quick searches, and it seems like the search results page has everything we need to construct the list of AnimeLink.

[Catta1997]

@SuperMarcus it’s better an example: I search an anime that in the site is merged into an unique url (for example Assassination Classroom), if the app has to shown separated seasons, the app need to “explore” the unique url, do the regex (for separate the seasons) and then return the result. But this is not a problem if Nineanimetor has a mechanism for handle multiple season

@SuperMarcus I have done much of the work with this source. The missing parts (that I'm not able to do) is:

• Separate Season if combined (example Assassination Classroom)
• Player of video (the site use external player)
