Genre Badges
Genre Badges are achievements awarded to AnimeOshi users for activity within a given genre, displayed on the profile and progressing through tiers; the system is still being built out.
In one sentence
Genre Badges are tiered achievements awarded to an AnimeOshi user for rating and reviewing episodes within a given genre, displayed on the user's profile and advancing through three tiers — Awakened, Evolved, and Apex — as the user builds up activity in that genre.
Overview
Genre Badges are AnimeOshi's way of recognizing depth, not just volume. They reward a user for engaging within a specific genre rather than across the catalogue at large. Each episode a user rates and reviews adds a signal to that anime's primary genre, and as those signals accumulate, the genre's badge climbs through its tiers. A badge appears on the user's profile and communicates both which genres a user has invested in and how far. The Genre Badge system is still being built out, so some specifics below remain provisional.
Details
How Genre Badges work
A Genre Badge is tied to a single genre and reflects how much you have rated and reviewed within it. Every anime has one primary genre, and each episode you rate and review contributes +1 signal toward that anime's primary genre. Signals are cumulative per genre; there is no daily cap, and they steadily build your badge for that genre over time. A badge therefore communicates both which genre you have invested in and how far. Earned badges are displayed on your profile alongside your other achievements and stats.
Tiers
Genre Badges progress through three tiers, each unlocked at a cumulative signal threshold for that genre. Higher tiers represent more rating and review activity within the genre. Once a tier is unlocked, it is permanent.
Awakened
15
Evolved
100
Apex
1,000
For example, a user who has reviewed 11 episodes whose primary genre is Shonen sees progress of 11 / 15 toward the Awakened tier, with UI copy such as "4 more signals to unlock Awakened Shonen Crest."
Where badges appear
Genre Badges live in a dedicated Crests area on your profile. You can pin up to 3–5 badges to feature them, and the rest remain viewable. Each badge shows its current tier, and a progress bar toward the next tier while it is still locked.
Status
The Genre Badge tier structure is defined: three tiers (Awakened / Evolved / Apex) at 15 / 100 / 1,000 cumulative signals, earned at +1 signal per episode rated and reviewed against an anime's primary genre, permanent once unlocked. The system is still being built, so the final set of genres with badges and the exact rating-vs-review signal rule may still change and should be treated as provisional until launch.
FAQ

Genre Badges are tiered achievements you earn for rating and reviewing episodes within a specific genre. They display on your profile and advance through three tiers as you build up activity in that genre.
Q: How do I earn a Genre Badge?
By rating and reviewing episodes. Every anime has one primary genre, and each episode you rate and review adds one signal toward that genre's badge. Signals are cumulative with no daily cap, so the more you rate and review in a genre, the higher its badge climbs.

There are three tiers, unlocked at cumulative signal thresholds for the genre: Awakened (15 signals), Evolved (100 signals), and Apex (1,000 signals). Once a tier is unlocked, it is permanent.
Q: Are Genre Badges live yet?
The system is still being built out. The design and tier structure are set based on genre-scoped, three-tier achievements shown on your profile, but the final set of genres with badges and some earning details may still change before launch.
