Comics Resources

Software

Your one stop shop for managing comics, manga and doujinshi. Windows only and stalled development, but there is none getting close with the same feature set.

  • Library Organizer Moves, Names and Creates your Comic Folders and Files.
  • ComicVineScraper Scrapes Metadata off ComicVine for Official Releases of Comics and Manga.
  • Backup Manager Backs up your ComicRack Database on each boot and shutdown. Keep your settings safe!
  • ComicBookInfo Generator Adds ComicBookLover supported json metadata embedded in cbz from your already added CR data.
  • StorePlus Writes more metadata entries into the CR xml file which isn't exported normally.
  • Scanlation Info from Filename Pulls the scanner/release group name from the filename into metadata.
  • Data Manager Ruled based data manager, if this then that sort of thing.

Doujin/Manga downloader with embedded metadata, supports 400+ sites. Reasons to use this: Supports most sites around and exports issues to the format of your choice (cbz would be the best) with embedded xml metadata ComicRack and other programs can read (like iOS/Android comic readers)

Comic/Book web host server for Online/LAN reading and downloading in any browser. (Great for tablets to read on the fly!)

Use Custom Themes like the Comixology Theme

Expand it with custom images, html and css files per publisher/imprint

Automatically pulls torrent files and usenet files of comic releases. Automatically tries to download missing issues from your collection.

My go to iOS (Only sadly) reader, great UI and uses ComicRack Metadata well. Dev stated on Twitter to expand its streaming options to support Ubooquity more fully than a small file browser but rather stream covers for a better UX

Hentai Manga/Doujinshi Manager mostly centered around SadPanda. The new X version does support plugins now so more sites could be supported. But has no way to export metadata or issues to formats more openly supported, locked down hard for the most part.

Hentai Manga/Doujinshi Manager mostly centered around SadPanda.

Sites

This is my go to site for common comics like DC Comics, Marvel and other such SFW releases.

Closed Manga site that needs to interact with IRC Bot to make an account. This site has pretty much all releases of official mainstream Manga at the highest quality. Both official US releases and fan translations.


Hentai Resources

Software

Made to work with the f95zone threads and releases and automatically checks and compares the newest version updates of Hentai games on the site with what you have. Allowing for easy management or your updates while bringing metadata/tags to the table. This is synced with the GameList bellow!

Sites

For most of the latest releases coming from either Patreon or elsewhere on the web. The Latest page updates with the latest updates as they come out.

Lists F95 Game releases with sorting options. This is synced with the Game Manager above!

Posts and shares bunch of adult games, and other releases.

If you like 3D rendered archives then these with f95 is the places to go as 3D renders isnt too popular on boorus.


Movies, Music, Shows & Anime

Software

All in one media server platform, supports movies, shows, music, anime and more. Easy to use for anyone and can be hosted on any machine with file access to stream across the world if wanted.

Old tried and true Media Center option, is more focused on local content only and is more chunky compared to plex. A good open alternative to Plex.

Automatically moves and names Movies, Shows and Music for you. Allows for an fully automated setup from your download folders to your final Plex folder if you choose.

Detects and downloads metadata for your music, names and moves your music for you.

An all in one option for anime detection, management and filenaming. Automatically detects Anime from the file hash values so no matter the filename it will find it. Has Plugins that work with Plex, Kodi, Media Browser and more. They also have their own Discord!
