Thank u !

ok tell me more, we can try it out!

Updates : I managed to reach what I wanted, everything is now continuously automated end-to-end (new entries, episode sync, embeds/subs sync). Site is fast and SEO is performing way better than expected because I added a smart fill system: I can render pages even if I don’t fully have the data...

Getting licenses isn’t realistic. Anime rights are fragmented and expensive, that’s why Netflix, Crunchyroll, etc. fight and buy exclusivity. If it were easy, they wouldn’t. I’m not hosting files, just indexing metadata and external embeds, and the setup assumes volatility from the start.

Appreciate the tips! but if I’m already running custom scripts, what’s the point of using WP instead of just going with Next.js or something lightweight? Also, when you say “scrape subtitle metadata,” where’s the actual video supposed to come from in that setup?

thank u vm for the tips! I’m also leaning toward js (my coding skills are pretty basic) so I mostly rely on ai IDEs like cursor or trae. exactly my idea is to store data in the backend in a way that lets me map it and use APIs with the fetched metadata. that’s the part I’m still struggling with...

okay i'll try keep a small manual review maybe one last check before pushing new episodes live

thank u appreciate it

agree M also leaning toward a custom build cuz WP gets messy fast with custom logic especially for episode matching and scraping

for now I’m going with offshore VPS with unlimited bandwidth, using Cloudflare CDN to handle spikes. Later I’ll move to a distributed setup once traffic grows.

for seo, I focus on clean urls, rich metadata, and backlinks from anime communities. I also post full episode metadata even when I don’t yet have the embed, to build hype and improve search visibility.

I won’t rely heavily on ads to make money I plan to use cryptojacking and other strategies after I build an audience, once I have the community and visitors, I can monetize them.

Sup guys I’m building an anime streaming site for non-English-speaking countries like Vietnam. Getting English embeds is easy, but finding good non-English subtitle sources is much harder, so I usually scrape them from other sites. The site’s goal is to be fully automated pulling new anime info...
