Track your anime. Never miss an episode. Sparky remembers where you got to in every show you follow and tells you when the next episode is out. WHAT IT DOES • Continue watching - everything you follow on one screen, next episode on top. One tap marks it watched and the count moves on by itself. • Release calendar - every episode of every show you follow, day by day, with its airing time. • Watch order - seasons, movies, OVAs and specials on one page, in the order you're meant to watch them. Filler episodes are flagged, so you can skip them or watch them knowing what they are. • Stats and medals - episodes, hours, days, genres. Medals unlock behind your back and you can pin your three best ones on your profile. • Tier lists that build themselves - rate a series from 1 to 10 and it drops into its row, S down to F. No dragging posters around for twenty minutes. • Lists that are yours - the rewatch pile, the ones you dropped at episode three, whatever you need. THE SOCIAL PART, WITHOUT THE FEED Follow the people you actually talk to about anime and see where they got to in a series. Drop a comment or a GIF under the episode you just finished; anything flagged as a spoiler stays covered until you tap it. Your account can stay private, and you can block whoever you want.

You just finished a great series. Now what? Tsugi Anime answers that in about a minute, and it never asks you to make an account. There are no lists to scroll. You get a map: 8,000 anime laid out as cover art you pan and zoom. Tap any cover and the map rebuilds around it, closest shows most similar. Hold a cover to read what it's about and rate it with a flick: right if you loved it, left if you'd skip it, up to save it for later. Every rating teaches the map. Liked shonen battle series and a couple of quiet slice-of-life shows? The centre of your home map fills with titles that match that mix, not a top-100 chart. Bookmarked shows come back as a daily pick on a home-screen widget, so the "I'll watch that someday" list actually gets watched. Built for fans: • Search by title, studio, genre, theme, or season. Shorthand works too: "aot", "hxh", "fma". • Community ratings from AniList on every cover. • Found one? One tap opens the streaming service, a trailer, or a where-to-watch search. • Filter by isekai, iyashikei, mecha, sports, idol, and 20 more. • Everything stays on your device. No tracking, no ads, no sign-up. Titles, synopses and artwork are provided by AniList and belong to their rights holders. Tsugi Anime hosts no episodes or streams.
