And link to "Show All" to get all the groups subbing for that project. Alternatively, have user to select which groups to go... And then link it to anidb page if the user doesn't know what the group is.
The only problem with getting groups per episode will require you to login to do so on anidb... But, you don't really want to do that, so it will be impossible...

Well if we could that that would be so cool. : D Actually that was our first thought while designing the site. But (as exp pm'ed me) there is no feasible way to do that right now. (Impossible with UDP API, and no HTTP/XML Request code was written / implemented) We are parsing anime name dump, and group data to be update with anidb.(Yes we are using their ids). But the file data you suggested, It can not be done without parsing whole anidb. And website parsing is not something wanted. Btw we are
not working online, all the data is (auto complete boxes) are cached on local.
