Seasonal anime discovery, broadcast radar, and soundtrack archives.
Yozora is built for anime viewers who want instantaneous Japanese broadcast schedules, master-quality creditless opening and ending theme playback, and resilient library tracking that never goes down.
Platform Capabilities
Engineered from first principles for responsiveness, accuracy, and zero latency.
Dual-Engine Catalog Failover
Combines AniList GraphQL and Jikan v4 (MyAnimeList) with transparent automatic failover. If one API experiences rate-limiting or blocks, the backup provider takes over with zero downtime.
Live Airing Radar
Millisecond-precise countdown timers synchronized directly with Japanese television broadcast schedules (JST UTC+9), tracking exact weekly premiere windows across Tokyo networks.
Creditless 1080p Themes
Integrated with the open AnimeThemes archive, featuring 1080p clean opening and ending sequences, artist discography lore, and synced audio deck playback without watermarks.
Private Library & Sync
Track episode progress, curate custom watchlist shelves, rate series, and share public profile showcases backed by Drizzle ORM and Neon Serverless PostgreSQL.
Two-Tier Resilient Caching
Sub-millisecond response times with fail-open safety.
Per-isolate in-memory Map with single-flight request deduplication to prevent stampedes on concurrent hits.
Distributed Redis REST cache shared across serverless regions. Completely fail-open so Redis outages never block requests.
Public catalog loaders emit stale-while-revalidate headers for global Edge propagation.
