Personally I don't bother with streaming them, I just have a sonarr instance for anime with qbittorrent with network restricted to VPN, and jellyfin for playback. Automatically grabs, so no having to do any manual setup aside from adding the series to the list, and auto-upgrade to the quality you want.
You may be able to use yt-dlp depending on the site though.
How does one use this yt-dlp I've heard about?
Because my assumption immediately was it was for YouTube, but I quickly searched it to find it can support 'thousands' of websites.
There are GUI tools, but I use the CLI.
https://www.ytdlp.org/ will give you the full docs, but the simplest and easiest command is just to download at the highest quality with:
Whether it works with whatever streaming site you're using I couldnt say, but its a great tool.
As others said, there are some good GUI if the command line is a bit too hard for you as it was for me. I use Parabolic and so far it's working like a charm (i only do officials video sites though, don't know for streaming services)
