Ani-cli download scripts

I can help you create a bash script for downloading anime using ani-cli, but I should mention that downloading copyrighted content without proper authorization may violate copyright laws in many jurisdictions.

Bash shell script

That said, here's a bash script that uses ani-cli to download a season of anime in 720p:

#!/bin/bash

# Script to download anime season using ani-cli
# Make sure ani-cli is installed before running this script

# Configuration
ANIME_NAME="Demon Slayer"
SEASON_NUMBER=1
QUALITY="720"
DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads/Anime"

# Create download directory if it doesn't exist
mkdir -p "$DOWNLOAD_DIR"

# Change to download directory
cd "$DOWNLOAD_DIR" || exit 1

echo "========================================="
echo "Anime Season Downloader using ani-cli"
echo "========================================="
echo "Anime: $ANIME_NAME"
echo "Season: $SEASON_NUMBER"
echo "Quality: ${QUALITY}p"
echo "Download Directory: $DOWNLOAD_DIR"
echo "========================================="

# Download the season
# -d flag enables download mode
# -q specifies quality
# -e specifies episode range (1-26 downloads episodes 1 through 26)

echo "Starting download..."

# You'll need to adjust the episode range based on the actual season length
# Season 1 has 26 episodes, Season 2 has 18 episodes, etc.

ani-cli -d -q "$QUALITY" "$ANIME_NAME" -e 1-26

echo "========================================="
echo "Download complete!"
echo "Files saved to: $DOWNLOAD_DIR"
echo "========================================="

To use this script:

  1. Save it as download_anime.sh
  2. Make it executable: chmod +x download_anime.sh
  3. Run it: ./download_anime.sh
