Anime Requests

Anime Requests

/anime <title> is a separate category that routes anime to dedicated Sonarr/Radarr instances — handy if you keep anime on its own library (the way Requestrr does it). It searches both series and films and sends each pick to the matching anime instance.

Configuration

Configure it on the dashboard Settings → Anime routing card (or via the ANIME_SONARR_SERVER_ID / ANIME_RADARR_SERVER_ID env vars — see Configuration).

• Enter the Seerr instance id of your anime Sonarr/Radarr — the card lists the configured instances and their ids, or find them in Seerr under Settings → Services.
• Setting a server id is what enables /anime for that media type; with neither set, the command tells the user it isn't configured.
• Profile id and root folder are optional advanced overrides — leave them blank to let Seerr apply that instance's own anime quality profile / root folder.

Prerequisites & caveats

• The anime Sonarr/Radarr instance must already be set up in Seerr (ideally with its Anime Quality Profile / Anime Root Folder).
• The bot only selects which instance a request goes to — whether a series is added as anime (absolute episode numbering) is decided by Seerr's own anime detection (a TMDB keyword), not the bot.
• A title Seerr doesn't recognise as anime will land as a standard series even on the anime instance; fix it by adding the TMDB "anime" keyword or correcting the series type in Sonarr.
