The decode momentA line you’ve heard a hundred times,
A line you’ve heard a hundred times,
finally clicks.
No grammar lecture first. Four real words, native audio, and the moment it lands. This is the whole product — everything else is what you discover after you’ve stayed.

「neeねえ、issho一緒niにikō行こう」
ねえhey / say — a soft call for attention
一緒にtogether · issho ni
行こうlet’s go — volitional of 行く
“Hey — let’s go together.”
Scroll a touch — or tap the line.
The spine
One lane. No menus. A win in minute one.
The whole cold-start path is three steps — built so a week-one quitter feels something before they’d ever think to leave.
選
STEP 01
🎬
Pick your show
Tap one anime you love. We seed a deck straight from it — no grid of choices, no “explore”, no account.
読
STEP 02
あ
Decode 4 words — with audio
Straight into a four-word micro-lesson from that show. Native voice, the moment a line resolves. That’s the win.
戻
STEP 03
🔁
Come back — it sticks
Tomorrow those words are due in a clean two-button review. An honest SRS that bends to you, never a currency that blocks you.
What only we do
The features in the adverts.
Anki’s retention with a real interface, AI-graded mnemonics you actually write, and the anime you watch turned into the deck you study.
◆ Write-your-own · AI-graded
You make the memory hook. The AI tells you if it’ll stick.
Not multiple-choice busywork. Write a mnemonic from the kanji’s actual radicals; the AI grades whether it uses them and ties them to the keyword — with a score and one concrete fix.
明
日 sun月 moon
The sun and the moon together make everything bright.
0both radicals used ✓
✦ The streak
Momentum without the manipulation.
No hearts. No gems. No gate that stops you mid-lesson. Just an honest streak you earn by doing the reviews.
Day streak
0days
You showed up every day this week. The streak is real — protected by actual reviews, never busywork.
MTWTFSS
❖ Add words from the anime you’re watching
Tap the word. We build the whole card.
The painful six-tool sentence-mining chain collapses into one action. Paste a line or pick one from a show, tap the word you don’t know — dictionary form, reading, meaning, the real sentence, and audio land as a finished card.

Where we fit
You probably already tried the others.
Duolingo
Gamified beginner habit
Fun, but it won’t get you to anime. We’re where you go when you’re serious.
Anki
Raw, powerful, ugly SRS
Anki’s retention with a real interface, AI mnemonic grading, and a path.
WaniKani
Kanji & radicals via SRS
Kanji and vocab, grammar, and sentences — beginner → N1, supplemental to immersion.
kakitori
The reason you’ll stick
Nobody else makes you produce the memory hook, grades it, and feeds you the words from the show you’re actually watching.
