Viu is a terminal-based anime client that provides a rich TUI for browsing, searching, and managing your AniList library, along with streaming and downloading capabilities via scraping public-facing websites. It also offers a scriptable CLI for non-interactive automation of streaming and downloading.
Use cases
- watch anime from the terminal
- search and filter the AniList database by genre, year, or score
- manage my AniList library in a TUI
- queue anime episodes for background download
- script non-interactive anime downloads
- browse anime with rofi or fzf selectors
- keep a local offline database of my anime list
When to choose
- you want to stream or download anime without leaving the terminal
- you want a fast, scriptable CLI around AniList and Jikan APIs
- you use rofi/fzf-centric Linux workflows and want tight integration
- you want a local registry of anime data for offline stats
When to avoid
- you need a legal, licensed streaming service with official content hosting
- you want a GUI video player experience rather than a terminal interface
- you are uncomfortable with tools that scrape third-party streaming sites
- you need a cross-platform mobile or web app
