BIG Update For Corncastle Anime v1.03 - AI Subtitle Languages, Offline Downloads and more...

Hey everyone!

A while back, a lot of you gave us some awesome feedback on CornCastle Anime, and honestly... we took it to heart. We completely threw out our old, basic video setup and rebuilt the app’s core from scratch.

We just dropped v1.03, and it’s easily our biggest update yet! Here’s what we added based on your requests:

A Real Custom Video Player (Finally!)

  • Native ExoPlayer: No more clunky playback. You get double-tap to seek, swipe gesture controls for brightness/volume, and super smooth streaming.
  • Auto Skip Intro/Outro: Binge-watching just got way easier. The player automatically detects and skips openings and endings.
  • Custom Extractors: We rewrote the backend so streams load instantly in high quality.
  • Smart Rotation: Works with your phone's sensor, plus we added a quick manual screen-flip button right in the controls.

Offline Downloads

  • Download full episodes in the background while you use other apps.
  • Choose your exact quality, Sub/Dub preference, and subtitle language before downloading.
  • Brand new, clean manager to track and delete your downloads.

CornCastle Anime - any Subtitle Languages, Downloads, Custom player, anime news and many more!

Hey everyone!

A while back, a lot of you gave us some awesome feedback on CornCastle Anime, and honestly... we took it to heart. We completely threw out our old, basic video setup and rebuilt the app’s core from scratch.

We just dropped v1.03, and it’s easily our biggest update yet! Here’s what we added based on your requests:

🎬 A Real Custom Video Player (Finally!)

  • Native ExoPlayer: No more clunky playback. You get double-tap to seek, swipe gesture controls for brightness/volume, and super smooth streaming.
  • Auto Skip Intro/Outro: Binge-watching just got way easier. The player automatically detects and skips openings and endings.
  • Custom Extractors: We rewrote the backend so streams load instantly in high quality.
  • Smart Rotation: Works with your phone's sensor, plus we added a quick manual screen-flip button right in the controls.

⬇️ Offline Downloads

  • Download full episodes in the background while you use other apps.
  • Choose your exact quality, Sub/Dub preference, and subtitle language before downloading.
  • Brand new, clean glassmorphic manager to track and delete your downloads.

🌐 Subtitles & Performance

  • On-the-Fly Translation: Real-time subtitle translation so you can watch pretty much anything.
  • Better Subtitle Look: Made the subtitle renderer way more compact so it stops blocking the screen.
  • Massive Battery Boost: We realized our old background blur effects were secretly cooking your phone's CPU/GPU. We completely removed them, and the app is running so much cooler and smoother now.

📥 Download & Repository

It’s 100% open-source!

(If you're a developer wanting to build from source, check out the build instructions in the README.mdjust remember to add your AniList credentials to your local configuration).

Huge thanks to everyone who suggested features in the last post! Try out the new player and let us know what you think or if you hit any bugs! 👇

Built an open-source anime streaming app with AniList sync and zero ads

Over the last few months I've been working on an anime streaming app as a side project.

Features:

• Completely free
• Open source
• No ads
• AniList sync and tracking
• Sub and dub support
• Clean, modern UI
• Android support (more platforms planned)

I originally built it because I couldn't find an app that combined a good UI, AniList integration, and ad-free streaming.

The project is still actively being developed, and I'd love feedback from anime fans on what should be improved next.

Built an Open-Source Anime Streaming App for Android

Most anime apps on Android either look outdated, are packed with ads, lock basic features behind subscriptions, or try to do everything except provide a good user experience.

So I built Corncastle Anime.

It's a modern Android app focused on anime streaming and tracking with a clean UI, fast performance, and no unnecessary clutter.

Features include:

  • Anime streaming
  • Episode progress tracking
  • Trending and seasonal anime discovery
  • Detailed anime information
  • Favorites and watchlists
  • Offline support
  • Native Android experience

The entire project is open source, so anyone can inspect the code, contribute, suggest features, or fork it.

I'm still actively developing it and looking for feedback from people who actually watch anime every day.

I Finally Built the Best Anime Website

After months of work, I finally built the anime website I always wanted.

  • Clean Modern UI
  • NO ADS
  • Auto Next Episode
  • English Dubbed + Japanese Original
  • Fast Streaming
  • Mobile Friendly
  • AniList + MyAnimeList + TMDB Metadata Integration

I wanted an anime site that actually feels modern and enjoyable to use without annoying popups, clutter, or broken players.

The platform uses metadata from AniList, MyAnimeList, and TMDB to create a much better browsing and watching experience with rich anime details, ratings, artwork, and more.

Still improving it daily feedback and feature ideas are always welcome 🙌

Corn Castle is Back - I build a streaming website that has (Embed + torrents) (REPOST)

Corn Castle is Back (REPOST)

The old Corn Castle got way more attention and visitors than I ever expected, and eventually got suspended because of Vercel limitations.

So I rebuilt everything and moved it away from Vercel completely.

The new version is now live.

New website: cc.mjland.xyz

Appreciate everyone who supported the original project ❤️

Best Streaming Site - Repost

I built a clean, minimal UI focused on speed and simplicity. The goal was to remove clutter and make everything feel smooth and easy to use.

It’s still a work in progress, and I’m continuing to refine the design and overall experience. Would love any feedback or suggestions on what could be improved or added next.

• Clean, modern glassmorphism UI
• Instant navigation with minimal load times
• “Continue Watching” + Watchlist support
• Multi-language UI support
• Mobile-first PWA (works like a native app when installed)
• Metadata-rich pages with filtering (genre, language, studio, etc.)
• Multiple playback sources with quick switching for reliability

Built entirely for performance and usability first no clutter, no distractions.

I’m still iterating, so I’d love feedback

CornCastle is Back!

CornCastle went offline previously after exceeding Vercel bandwidth and usage limits, which eventually led to the deployment being suspended. The project has now been moved off Vercel, so stability and uptime should be significantly better going forward.

Key features:

  • Multiple language support
  • Privacy-focused design watch history and recommendations are stored locally on the device
  • Personalized recommendation system
  • No ads in Website
  • Clean and minimal UI inspired by modern OTT platforms
  • Lightweight and fast experience

The project will be open-sourced in the future.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

u/EntrepreneurRoyal594 — 3 months ago

Best streaming website - REPOST

CornCastle is back

• Privacy-focused design
• Watch history fully stored locally on your device
• Multiple language content
• Multiple streaming servers
• Sequel & prequel navigation
• No ads on the CornCastle website itself

Some embedded video providers may still show ads on the watch page. Using Brave or an ad blocker should block those too.

Still actively improving the site and adding features whenever I get time. Built this mainly as a hobby project and to learn along the way.

Would really appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or bug reports from the community!
