A tracker holds years of your watching life. These are the five commitments we make in exchange for that trust — short enough to read, plain enough to hold us to.
Your watchlist will never be a token, a collectible drop, or a wallet onboarding funnel. AnimeSphere is a tracker and a community, not a speculation venue.
Your list, your episode logs, your moods, your reviews — none of it is for sale, to anyone, for any reason. See the Privacy Policy for the legal version of this sentence.
One click in Settings → Your data downloads everything: a MyAnimeList-compatible XML that re-imports anywhere, and a full-fidelity JSON with every status, score, episode log, and date. If you ever want to leave, leaving is easy. That is the point.
When we ship something AI-assisted, it is clearly labelled, off by default where it touches your data, and built to help you find and enjoy anime — not to replace the artists, writers, and translators who make it.
Titles, episode counts, air dates, studios — facts about anime are not a paywall product here, and never will be. Premium is for extra flair, not for basic information.
Moving from MyAnimeList or AniList? Your list imports in 60 seconds.
Bring your watchlistAnd it exports back out just as fast — see pledge #3.
