Zoro – PHP Anime Streaming Site

A self-hosted, SEO-friendly anime streaming platform built with PHP, MySQL and the AniList GraphQL API.
Forked and extended from the original work by KiriXen, this version modernises URLs, removes server-side caching, improves user-history tracking and adds fresh endpoints such as Upcoming, Ongoing & Trending lists.

✨ Features

• SEO-friendly routes:
  • Anime details – /anime/{id}/{slug}
  • Episode watch – /watch/{id}/{slug}/episode-{number}
• Clean, responsive UI (Bootstrap 4 + FontAwesome 6).
• AniList GraphQL integration for metadata, recommendations & upcoming titles.
• Continue-Watching list stored in MySQL per user.
• Dynamic sitemaps (SUB, DUB, Chinese, Ongoing & All Anime).
• View-, like- & dislike-counters with prepared-statement SQL.
• Zero file-system caching – every request is live from AniList.
• Discord community support.
