FileBot alternative for anime?

I’ve been using FileBot to organize my media library and it works great for movies and TV shows, but when it comes to anime it doesn’t always behave the way I want.

Anime releases tend to have very inconsistent naming formats depending on the release group, and sometimes FileBot struggles with properly matching episodes, seasons, or specials.

What I’m mainly looking for is something that can:
  • Automatically rename anime episodes correctly
  • Handle different release group naming formats
  • Match episodes using anime databases like AniList / AniDB / MAL
  • Work well with already downloaded anime files
I know tools like Sonarr exist, but they feel a bit overkill if the goal is just organizing an existing anime library.

So I’m curious — is there a good FileBot alternative specifically for anime?
What do you guys usually use to manage and organize your anime libraries?
