How about a system that emails you whenever episode x of any series is released? I don't know how hard it would be to code but it would be amazingly useful.

[Lucky-7]

actually it would be murder on distro. Better to let a few people in the dark so the bots and torrents can stand up to the demand.

You could script something that parses the site looking for that.

[Manick]

or parses the rss feed would be better. I'm sure many people already do this.

What about a "favourite anime" page? It would do a search on released anime, just like the "releases" page, but filter out anything the user did not specify.

Or I'll have to learn how to parse RSS feeds...

[KunJinky]

... maybe a scripting how to, would be better.

It only takes 10 seconds to check the new releases every day o_o 20 to check twice daily. Why do you need a magic scripted favourite-anime-update checker?

[Kirika]

You can actually get an RSS feed client that filters out stuff you don't want too. Look them up and see what features they have; there's gotta be hundreds of RSS clients out there.

[Muiff]

emetic: I want to make sure I don't miss any :)

I found some RSS clients with the features I want. Thanks

[Crimson]

One suggestion: Make the RSS feed more obvious. I had to go to page 5 of the news to find the URL.

It is listed in our channel topic, but I guess not everyone checks that. We will try to post future updates in the forum as well.
