About Yume

YumeWatch is an independent anime discovery and broadcast-schedule website built around a small, daily refreshed public-data cache.

A clearer way to browse

YumeWatch is built to make current-season discovery, planned broadcasts, and official-source context easier to understand at a glance—without treating a schedule as a promise that an episode is available to stream.

What YumeWatch does

YumeWatch helps visitors browse the current anime season, search the local catalog, check recently aired and upcoming scheduled broadcasts, and open official or licensed provider links when a data source lists them.

02 / Sources

Data and independence

Public anime metadata is fetched primarily from the AniList GraphQL API. Jikan is an optional fallback for limited season and recurring schedule metadata. YumeWatch is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by AniList, MyAnimeList, Jikan, anime publishers, or streaming providers.

Scheduled broadcasts describe planned television airings. They do not prove that an episode is available to stream in a visitor’s country.

03 / Official episode discovery

Careful matching, with clear limits.

YumeWatch checks a small allowlist of verified distributor YouTube channels through the YouTube Data API. Conservative matching connects explicit full-episode uploads to AniList titles and episode numbers. The Philippines remains the automated verification baseline, while episode pages can evaluate YouTube’s explicit region metadata for a visitor-selected country. Actual playback is still decided by YouTube and can change. Uncertain matches remain in a private review queue.

The video remains hosted and controlled by YouTube and its uploader. YumeWatch does not download video files, bypass restrictions, suppress player branding or advertising, or claim that an upload is licensed to YumeWatch.
