What is AnimeOshi

AnimeOshi is an anime diary where fans log their watch journey episode by episode. Per-episode ratings, reviews, and community grow out of that diary, so viewers know exactly what is worth watching.

One-liner

AnimeOshi is an anime diary where fans log their journey episode by episode. The per-episode ratings and reviews fans leave along the way become a public signal of which episodes and series are worth watching.

Overview

AnimeOshi is built around a personal anime diary: fans log each episode as they watch it. Because that logging happens episode by episode, AnimeOshi captures something traditional rating & tracking sites miss; almost every long-running anime has weak filler stretches and standout episodes that a single show-level score flattens out. Those individual logs aggregate into a per-episode score called the OshiMeter. It is built and maintained by Kasagi Labo and is free to use.

Details

The core idea: per-episode ratings, not per-show

A series-level anime score is the average of every episode rolled into one number. That average can hide three things at once: a strong first arc, a weak filler middle, and a great finale. AnimeOshi makes those visible by treating every episode as its own unit of judgment.

Each episode on AnimeOshi has:

  • An OshiMeter score — a 0–10 number (with one decimal) aggregated from individual fan ratings, also expressible as a percentage (0–100%).

  • A color-coded score band on the episode guide: Red (0–59), Pink (60–79), or Neon green (80–100), so the standout and weak episodes of a series are visible at a glance.

  • A breakdown across five Rating Attributes — Soundtrack, Visual, Emotion, Writing, and Impact — is shown as a radar chart so you can see why an episode scored the way it did.

How AnimeOshi differs from traditional rating & tracking sites

Dimension
AnimeOshi
Traditional rating & tracking sites

Rating granularity

Per episode

Per series (one number for the whole show)

What is rated

Five attributes per episode (Soundtrack, Visual, Emotion, Writing, Impact)

One overall score per series

Watch decision

OshiMeter score + color band

Implicit, based on the aggregate score

What you build over time

A personal diary of everything you've watched and rated

A list and an aggregate score

The point is not that AnimeOshi replaces those sites; it answers a question they were never built to answer: which specific episodes of this show are actually worth my time.

Who it's for

AnimeOshi is for anyone who watches anime and wants a better signal; skip-list veterans pruning long-running shounen, newcomers picking a first season, fans who already have favorites and want a personal record of their watch history, alongside people who feel the same way about specific episodes.

Scale

AnimeOshi covers over 28,000 anime and 400,000+ episodes and continues to grow alongside its community of anime fans.

FAQ

Q: Is AnimeOshi free to use?

Yes. Reading ratings, browsing anime, and rating episodes are all free. There is no paywall on core features.

Q: How is AnimeOshi different from traditional rating & tracking sites?

AnimeOshi is built around a personal anime diary you fill in episode by episode, rather than a list with one overall score per show. Because you log each episode, your ratings break down into five attributes (Soundtrack, Visual, Emotion, Writing, Impact), so the why behind a score is visible, not just the number.

Q: Do I need an account to see ratings?

No. Anyone can view AnimeOshi ratings and episode breakdowns without signing in. You only need an account if you want to rate, review, or track your own watching.

Q: Who builds AnimeOshi?

AnimeOshi is built and maintained by Kasagi Labo. See Who is behind AnimeOshi? for the full team.
