AniCal

Methodology

How AniCal collects, localizes and validates anime schedule data.

Collection

AniCal stores normalized anime and schedule data in its own database. AniList is the primary metadata source; Jikan and AnimeThemes are complementary sources.

Localization

AniCal provides localized synopses in the languages supported by the site. The English version remains the reference when the source content is updated.

Dates and time zones

Canonical pages do not depend on a visitor's time-zone parameter. Displayed times clearly state the active time zone, while source instants remain stable.
