I have been putting this off for some time now as the RSS feed in qbittorrent was sufficient enough for me. (Also storage space is quite limited on my computer)
Honestly its not a bad option. I did something very similar for a while with Termux, Termux-X11, mpv and xdcc-dl. Basically all I'd need is the pack # from subsplease (xdcc) and it'd run a script that launched the video player. Worked well and you don't need to fiddle with shitty "1080p" streaming apps or VPNs
It can play local files or videos from url (and even has experimental support for YouTube), much like VLC, so as long as you have the files for the anime, yes. I prefer it because Im learning Japanese and like to use the dictionary lookups on the subtitles as I watch the anime. Though if this isn't something you have a use for, VLC or mpv will get the job done fine.
