Overview

What is Anilili?

Anilili is an anime streaming and downloading app for Android. It is built for people who just want to find a show and press play, without juggling browser tabs or paying for another subscription.

The app brings discovery, streaming, downloads, list management and progress sync together in one interface that adapts to the screen you are on. It is written with Jetpack Compose and uses the native Media3 player, so playback feels like part of the system rather than a web page wrapped in an app shell.

You can stream episodes over the internet or save them ahead of time and watch on a flight, a commute or anywhere the signal drops out. New to the project? Start with the features guide, then head to the download page.

Streaming providers

Where episodes come from

Anilili does not host any video. It resolves streams from public third-party providers and plays whichever one responds. Titles can appear from Miruro, Senshi, AniBD, AniKoto, KickAssAnime, AllAnime, AnimeKai, ReAnime, AniZone, AnimeGG, AniNeko, 2DHive, RareAnimes and other compatible sources.

Availability changes. A show might be on four providers in sub only, two in dub, and none in your region for a week until a mirror comes back. That is why the app checks several sources and lets you reorder them. See the troubleshooting guide if a title will not load.

  • AniKoto
  • KickAssAnime
