Great app

Lots of potential can do a lot and its all in one place easy to use

Great app for finding personalized anime

As someone who has always stuck to a few anime and wanted to get into more, this website and app are incredibly helpful. It’s hard to figure out where to start on google searches, since most get you similar lists of the biggest anime. This one has been amazing for being able to search specific preferences, and I already have watchlists made that have anime I haven’t heard of elsewhere. It’s also very convenient that it shows you where you can watch each one. Definitely recommend if you’re a big anime fan or if you’re someone trying to explore more

New Tool for an Old Fan

I grew up a huge fan of every anime you could imagine but as I got older and responsibilities piled up, I totally fell off. This has been a great way to discover new anime and keep up with new releases. I’m especially a big fan of the genre search tool as someone who is into a wide variety of genres. And I would never catch new season drops without the app. Fantastic tool for getting back into the know!

Scanning is really fun

Have been trying out the scan feature and its is very cool to see how incredibly accurate it is. Planning to use it at a con next week to keep track of any new stuff I come across!

Finally an anime app that makes discovery easy

Bento is my favorite anime app. It makes it really easy to discover new anime, get recommendations based on what I actually like, and keep track of everything I’m watching in one place.

The anime scanner is especially cool!!! It’s so unique. You can use a screenshot or image to identify an anime and then immediately find out more about it and where to watch it!
