Ah, this is great. For anyone who has ever tried to hunt down episode discussions on reddit, you know it is usually a multiple step process of searching and clicking through pages to find it depending on the show. And if you're on mobile, good luck to you with reddit's terrible mobile UX. If you could make a site like this for reddit.com/r/anime I'd be really happy. Or open source it so I can fork it.

I'll give it a shot! There's currently a gap for subreddits that contain many different shows. It was simpler to ignore those at first. Got the same issue with Marvel shows, too.
What are some of your favorite animes? I'll make sure at least those work first.

I'm mostly watching seasonal stuff so it makes it a bit more challenging. You'd need to know what comes out every season and scrape the discussion threads for that. https://anichart.net/ is an example of listing all shows each season. I wonder if it has an API somewhere. There are also rewatch discussion threads that pop up for older things that would be nice to have. Yeah, it's fairly challenging :). Could possibly scrape the top 250 shows from anilist/MAL which would cover rewatches. But seasonal would be the most useful.
