Version: 4.8.11
OS: Linux Debian 12
Shell: dash
Anime: Another (Original title: Anazâ / アナザー)
Describe the bug
I am trying to see Another by a friend suggestion, and as the title interferes a lot with Isekai thought to use the --skip-title "Isekai" to filter better but it still returns the same results without any change. I tried every variation I could think of, change the parameters order, use quote or single quotes or not at all.
I had success in the end by using the japanese lettered title. which return a lot fewer (6) and among it the "Another" I was looking for.
Steps To Reproduce
- Run ani-cli another --skip-title "isekai"
- Despair as the same 40 results fill the list.
Expected behavior
should find any with English word Another but filter out the Isekai
The problem here is a misunderstanding of what --skip-title is actually supposed to do.
--skip-title does not do any filtering.
What --skip-title does is it supplies ani-skip with an explicit title, for cases where allanime and ani-skip have different titles for the same anime.
Searching for the japanese name is one workaround.
The release year can also sometimes be in a generic anime title.
The bug here is that you can't find Another when searching for it, I'll see if I can reproduce this later
My bad, thank you for pointing this out. Would be nice to be able to filter somehow though.
Can reproduce, but not sure how this could be fixed.
Appending the release year (2012) did not help
I don't think I can or want to do anything about this, but thanks for reporting
