So i'm trying to make a simple, small, user-friendly database application and i was wondering is it possible to get all the anime on this site, minus the manga (total: 5266) and there episode amounts?
i have got all the shows/movies, but it will take me literally FOREVER to go through each one and get the "number of episodes: ###".

so i was wondering if this list already exists, or if there is an easier way of getting this data. any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

edit:
if it is alright with you guys/gals.
if not, i'll erase my 5266 entry's i got from you Smile
Or if there is possible exceptions (like give credit, which i will, or a link to the site) i'll gladly work with you on that. this app i'm making is freeware and opensourse being programed in "AHK".

Thanks for the copyright link.
I will gladly fallow them rules.

I believe the "episode name" and "Number of episodes" would fall under "...quoting an excerpt of an article is permitted.". since its only 2 small segments and not a paragraph+. so i should be in the safe-zone. i hope.

about the other link:
1) the link for the app is dead.
2) i doubt i would know how to compile it if it worked.
3) perl is like learning Asian, to me.
4) i use windows, not linux. Crying or Very sad

thanks for your help!
