Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check your search term for typos, or if you left it empty, ensure your season and year filters are not too restrictive. Try broadening your filters or using a more general anime title.

The Actor is taking too long to run.

Reduce the 'Maximum songs' input to a smaller number, or narrow your filters to a specific season or year to limit the number of pages scraped.

Some songs are missing from the results.

AnimeThemes may not have every song for every anime, especially for older or less popular series. Verify on the website directly to confirm availability.

I get an error when entering a year.

The year must be between 1960 and 2030. Ensure you enter a valid four-digit year within that range.
