How the radar works

Release Radar collects dates from public databases once every few hours and keeps the most useful slice: widely followed films, premieres rather than every weekly episode, the whole anime season, and games with a firm date. The notes above each list are calculated from that data, so they change as schedules change.

Tracking adds a title to your private library as unfinished and places it in a private Release Radar collection. Nothing is shared, rated, or reviewed until you choose to. If you already have the title, we reuse your entry instead of creating a duplicate.

Dates move. Games slip, streaming drops change, and some films open in limited release first. Each card links to its source so you can double-check before you plan a night around it.
