What anime should I watch? Find your next series by how you feel

It's a site for discovering your next anime, not just another database where you look up specs. The idea is that you show up not knowing what to watch and leave with something you actually want to see, thanks to watch-order guides, endings explained, and a way to browse by mood instead of by genre.

AniList and MyAnimeList are great as a catalog and tracker, but they give you raw data and leave the deciding to you. Yugen takes that same catalog and adds judgment on top: an editorial summary meant to help you decide, hand-picked mood tags, spoiler risk flagged up front, and its own popularity ranking based on how people actually interact within Yugen, not just whatever the API of the day says.

Not for the basics — you can browse the catalog, read the guides, and use Discover (the anime swiping mode) without signing up. If you make a free account, those likes actually get saved, you get your own list, and /for-you's recommendations get sharper based on what you like.

Yes, everything is free right now with no ads. It's a growing project, so at some point sustainability will come up, but it wants real traffic first before throwing ads at it.

It's a bit like Tinder but for anime: you get cards for shows you probably don't know yet, and you swipe right if it catches your eye (even without having watched it) or left if you're passing. No account needed, and if you like several before signing up, they're saved in your browser so they're not lost once you do.

/for-you looks at what you've already finished, what you rated highly, and what you liked on Discover, then looks for anime with a similar mood and genre — not just "same genre", but "actually feels like something similar".

Yes, that's the whole point of /moods: instead of searching by genre or name, you pick one of 13 moods (epic, comforting, melancholic...) and see anime hand-tagged for what they actually feel like, not just their category.

Yes — for anime with a debated or confusing ending, there's a spoiler-free summary kept separate from the full ending explained, so you decide how far to read.

Yes, /watch-order has real guides for franchises where release order isn't the best viewing order (movies slotted in between, OVAs, spin-offs...) — not the flat chronological list any wiki already gives you.

No, it's an indie project made by one person, not a company — which also means it changes fast based on what people actually ask for, instead of going through committees.
