Identifiers
MyAnimeList
- Anikki uses MyAnimeList ids only as keys to match titles. Anikki does not fetch any data from MyAnimeList directly and shows no images or ratings from there. Some title values come from the openly licensed databases named above, which may in turn rest on MyAnimeList entries. A MyAnimeList export file is read only if you import it yourself, on the device, without upload.
