Sources.

ShonenX utilizes the AnymeX Extension Runtime Bridge, making full Aniyomi and Mangayomi extension support possible. The application strictly ships as a bare-bones client with zero pre-compiled sources. Any external extensions are built, installed, and managed strictly by users at their own discretion.

Legal & DMCA Disclaimer

Read this before complaining

01. Service Nature

Look, ShonenX does not host, upload, or own any of the media you see in the app. It's literally just a frontend client. It's a glorified web browser that makes stuff look pretty. We don't have servers full of anime.

02. APIs & Metadata

The covers, synopses, and schedules you see? That's all pulled directly from public APIs like AniList and MyAnimeList. ShonenX just displays what they send back. Don't sue us for showing a picture of Goku.

03. User Extensions & Content

Any "extensions" or third-party sources you decide to install are entirely on you. ShonenX doesn't distribute copyrighted material or endorse piracy. If you put in a weird URL and watch something you shouldn't, that's your problem, not ours. Make sure you follow your local laws, we are not your lawyers.

If you're a copyright holder looking to DMCA someone, you're barking up the wrong tree. Go find the extension developers or whoever is actually hosting the video files.
