Install the app, tap Get Started, and Zangetsu sets up its sources for you — anime, movies and TV.
Tap Download APK above and pick arm64 — it fits nearly every phone from the last several years (or universal if you're unsure). Once it downloads, tap the file to install. An .apk is how Android apps install outside the Play Store.
Open Zangetsu and tap Get Started. It downloads the official source catalog and shows “You're all set!” — your sources (anime, movies and TV) are installed, no manual setup.
Prefer to explore first? Tap Skip for now — you can add sources any time in Settings → Providers.
The official catalog is installed at setup. Want even more? In the app go to Profile → Providers, open an ecosystem, tap Add repo, then Install the sources you want.
Providers → CloudStream → Add CloudStream repo. Tap a recommended one or paste a link, then Add. In the Installed tab, hit Install.
phisher98/…/repo.jsonNivinCNC/…/CNC.jsonProviders → Aniyomi → Add Aniyomi repo. Paste the repo's base URL — the app adds /index.min.json for you — then Add and Install.

Open a title and tap Play. For a series, pick an episode first.
Tap the source name at the top and switch — some go down temporarily.
On a title, tap Download — watch it later under Downloads.
Usually an old copy is in the way, or the download was incomplete. Uninstall any old Zangetsu, re-download fully, and pick arm64 (or universal if unsure).
Tap the source name at the top and switch, or pick a different server. If a whole source looks dead, check Settings → Source health or add another.
Check your internet and tap Try Again. Some ISPs block GitHub — turn on Settings → DNS (Cloudflare) and retry, or Skip for now and add sources later.
No. Everything works without one. Sign in only to sync your list and history across devices — Settings → Connections.
