anime-offline-database

Contains information from anime-offline-database, maintained by cedya77 as a continuation of manami-project’s anime-offline-database, which is made available under the Open Database License 1.0. Individual contents are under the Database Contents License 1.0. Release in use: 2026-45.

AnimeSchedule.net

Shiori uses AnimeSchedule.net for cached episode schedules (Japanese broadcast, English-sub and English-dub) and for cached streaming-service links on matched anime title pages. Schedules may change; streaming listings do not confirm availability in your country, subscription or language. The calendar, Home schedule sections, and Where to watch cards link to AnimeSchedule.net. Shiori uses its own catalog for title names and descriptions. See AnimeSchedule.net.

Streaming links are looked up the first time someone opens a title, using only its anime ID, and are kept for up to a year.

Wikidata

When enabled, titles, relations, dates and trailer ids come from Wikidata, released under CC0.

Wikipedia

Synopses marked “From Wikipedia” are shortened excerpts of Wikipedia articles under CC BY-SA 4.0 and remain under that licence; each links to its article and history.

Some synopses are written by the Shiori team in their own words and are marked “Written by the Shiori team”. Titles without a synopsis show a short summary built only from catalog facts, never an invented plot.
