Add a show to your watchlist. SubMine builds a flashcard deck of the kanji, vocab, and grammar from that show — kana, romaji, and example sentences pulled straight from subtitle data. Spaced repetition tracks what you know.
Vocab, kanji, and full sentences sourced from the show you watched last night.
Cards you nail get spaced wider apart. Cards you flub come back tomorrow.
Optional daily review streak — share milestones with your watch group.
