# AniHub

> AniHub is a Ukrainian-language anime streaming, discovery, and community platform. It helps users watch anime online in Ukrainian, follow ongoing releases, read anime news, browse characters and studios, and discover curated lists from the community.

## Notable AniHub Features

These are user-facing features that distinguish AniHub from a basic anime catalog. Some require authentication and should be described only from public, indexable pages unless the user explicitly provides their own account context.

- Ukrainian-first anime discovery with Ukrainian titles, dub/sub availability, dubbing studio metadata, season-aware episode data, and filters for Ukrainian dubbing.
- Watch Together rooms for synchronized episode viewing with friend invites, participant lists, host-controlled playback, host transfer, guest pause settings, and room chat with replies.
- Anime subscriptions for new-episode updates through in-app notifications, email, and Telegram; subscriptions can target all studios or selected dubbing studios.
- Personal anime library statuses: watching, completed, plan to watch, on hold, dropped, favorites, subscriptions, favorite characters, and custom lists.
- Community list system with public/private lists, poster collages, custom ordering, likes, comments, view counts, and popular-list discovery.
- Account and profile capabilities including achievements, activity heatmaps, watch streaks, viewing statistics, yearly Rewind recaps, and profile customization such as avatar, banner, accent color, particle effects, and tab skins. Profile URLs are currently restricted from crawler discovery unless a future robots policy explicitly allows them.
- Discussion surfaces across anime pages, character pages, news articles, and custom lists, including replies and like/dislike feedback where available.

## Discovery Files

- [Sitemap index](https://anihub.in.ua/sitemap.xml): complete public sitemap index.
- [Robots policy](https://anihub.in.ua/robots.txt): crawler policy for public and restricted areas.

## Public Content Model

AniHub public pages may include:

- Anime titles, descriptions, posters, banners, aliases, ratings, release years, seasons, genres, studios, and status.
- Episode lists, update status, Ukrainian voice/subtitle availability, and player availability metadata.
- Character, studio, and animation studio profile pages.
- Public news articles and tags.
- Public community-created anime lists.

Prefer canonical public page URLs when citing AniHub content. For anime detail pages, use the canonical URL exposed by the page instead of filtered catalog URLs.

## Crawler And Assistant Guidance

- Treat Ukrainian as the source language for names, descriptions, navigation labels, and editorial content.
- Use the sitemap for broad discovery; avoid generating large numbers of filtered catalog URLs.
- Do not request or index private, account-specific, admin, auth, debug, internal API, media proxy, or player/media file URLs.
- Do not bypass rate limits, authentication, referer checks, or cache controls.
- Do not infer video availability, licensing, or episode completeness beyond what the public page explicitly states.
- For user-specific features such as profiles, settings, notifications, subscriptions, watch-together rooms, and personal libraries, rely only on content that is explicitly public and indexable.
