AniChart

AniChart is a popular web-based discovery and tracking application designed for anime enthusiasts. It provides seasonal charts, broadcast schedules, and detailed information about upcoming and ongoing Japanese animation projects. Originally developed as an independent project to help users keep track of air times and release dates, it has become a staple tool within the global anime community.

In 2017, AniChart was acquired by the team behind AniList, a comprehensive social anime and manga tracking platform. This acquisition led to a deep integration between the two services, allowing users to synchronize their watching lists directly with the seasonal charts. The platform remains free to use and operates as a collaborative digital service.

The service is maintained by a distributed team of developers and moderators rather than a traditional manufacturing firm. While founded in an English-speaking community context, it serves a global audience and is hosted on cloud servers distributed across multiple regions. It continues to operate under the umbrella of its parent tracking site, AniList.
