Otakase
Skip times
Openings, endings and recaps skip automatically when enabled. Otakase checks the playing source first. If an opening or ending is missing, it checks AniSkip, TheIntroDB and Anime-Skip, as enabled. If the results still lack an opening or ending, the source with the most usable markers wins. An episode can have either marker, both, or neither.
An ending skip jumps to the end of the marked credits. Any footage after the marker continues playing.
TheIntroDB files episodes under TMDB show numbers, so the first time it is needed Otakase downloads a small lookup table (about 6 MB, refreshed monthly). Playback is never held up for it.
Turn services off under More → Settings → Playback: TheIntroDB skip times and Anime-Skip skip times. AniSkip is always enabled. Anime-Skip uses the public client id it publishes for trying its API; being shared, it may be rate-limited now and then.
See where a skip came from, and vote
In the player, press Skip times (the » icon on phones and TVs, the flag button on desktop). The panel lists every span of the episode with the service it came from. Pick one to watch it. For AniSkip spans, answer Right times? with Yes or No: the vote goes to AniSkip and helps everyone get better times.
Mark missing or wrong times
From the same panel, pick Mark opening, Mark ending or Mark recap (it says Fix when one is already there). A card stays on the video while it plays:
- Now sets the start or the end to the moment playing.
- −1s and +1s nudge either by a second.
- Watch start and Watch end jump just before each point, so you can check them.
- Send sends the span to AniSkip; the player uses it straight away.
A new mark starts where you are, with a typical length (1:30 for openings and endings), so often only the end needs a nudge. Back closes the card.
Marked times are public: every player that reads AniSkip gets them. They are filed under a random id the app makes for your profile; AniSkip has no accounts and asks for nothing about you. A show without a MyAnimeList id can't take times, because AniSkip files them under that id.
