HOW TO GET YOURS

1

Rate at least five anime

Your persona is built from how you watch — ratings, completions, drops, and genre mix. Five rated titles unlocks the match.

2

Discover your Persona

Open Settings → Profile (or the Otaku Persona section on your profile) and generate your card. Matching is free and takes a moment.

3

Wear it on your profile

Your archetype art and name show on your profile hero. Friends and Denmates can see which Otaku you are.

4

Find your Kindred

Premium members can browse everyone who shares their archetype and filter Find Denmates to Kindred only. Free members can re-attune once a month as taste shifts.

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT

Not a quiz

No multiple-choice. Your watch history — what you binge, drop, and how you rate — decides the match.

It can evolve

Re-attune as your taste shifts with the seasons. Free once a month; Premium anytime.

Find your Kindred

Premium lets you browse and filter Denmates who share your archetype — people who watch like you do.
