In plain English

AniCh is a mobile app for watching anime online with live danmaku comments, meaning viewers can post text comments that scroll across the screen in real time while they watch. The app is written in Dart, which is the language used by the Flutter framework for building apps that run on multiple platforms from a single codebase. According to the Chinese-language README, the app supports super-high-resolution playback, multiple streaming sources, and multiple danmaku providers. It is described as ad-free and high-quality, and is positioned as an essential tool for following ongoing anime series. The feature list includes things already implemented: browsing an anime index, searching for titles, variable playback speed, watch history, a follow list for tracking series, danmaku display with filtering and reporting tools, episode comments, and offline caching. A few features, such as episode ratings, are listed as still in progress. The README is brief and written entirely in Chinese. It includes screenshots of the app interface and a link to the releases page for downloading the latest build. The source code in this repository corresponds to version 1.0.0, released in August 2024. The project appears to be under active development, with the README noting that the visual style may change and the latest released version should be treated as the reference.
