How Long Does It Take to Binge an Anime? Build a Watch-Time Calculator

Have you ever asked yourself: “How long would it take me to binge One Piece?”

I did — and the answer kind of shocked me. 😅

That’s why I built AnimeTimeCalculator.com — a free online tool that tells you exactly how long it'll take to finish any anime series, including fillers, canon, and even movies.


🔧 How the Tool Works

  1. Enter the anime title and total number of episodes
  2. Choose whether to include or skip fillers
  3. It gives you:
    • Total runtime in hours & minutes
    • Filler vs canon breakdown
    • Optional marathon time planning

👨‍💻 Why I Made It

I’m both a dev and an anime fan, and I wanted to combine both passions in a practical project. I built the tool using:

  • HTML + CSS + JavaScript
  • Filler data sourced from public anime databases
  • Simple logic to calculate viewing time
  • Clean UI for mobile + desktop

This is a great demo project if you're into frontend dev and anime.


🎯 Who This Is For

  • Casual anime fans planning their next binge
  • Bloggers writing lists like "Top 10 Long Anime Series"
  • Developers exploring small tool ideas
  • Students learning JS + time calculation logic
