RekoGen is an anime discovery platform that solves two problems: what to watch and where to watch it. Ask Renji, your AI anime guide, for personalized recommendations and see exactly which streaming platform has each show—Crunchyroll, Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, and more. Join Forums to discuss anime with other fans, earn badges, compete in trivia, and discover anime events near you.
When you sign up you'll take a short onboarding: favorite genres, tones, and more. We combine those answers with AI to surface anime that match your taste. You can also chat with Renji, your AI anime guide, to get recommendations based on your mood or specific requests. Over time, your actions (ratings, favorites, follows) refine the results.
Renji is your AI anime guide. Think of Renji as a knowledgeable friend who knows anime inside and out. Tell Renji what you're in the mood for—a dark psychological thriller, a feel-good comedy, something with strong female leads—and get tailored recommendations. Renji lives right in the app, ready to help you discover your next favorite anime.
Forums are RekoGen's community spaces where fans connect and discuss anime. There are three types: RekoGen Forums for platform news and newcomer questions, Official Anime Forums for specific shows, and Community Forums for niche topics you care about. Post polls, videos, and photos to share your love for anime.
RekoGen rewards your fandom. Badges are earned by hitting milestones—posting in Forums, building your watchlist, rating shows, and more. Trivia lets you test your anime knowledge in live quiz sessions. Character Battles let you vote on head-to-head matchups and settle the debates that matter. These features make the experience more fun and give your engagement meaning.
Yes! RekoGen's Events Hub helps you discover anime conventions, screenings, meetups, and community events in your area. You can browse upcoming events, get details, and even grab tickets through our Eventbrite integration—all without leaving the app.
Yes, RekoGen is completely free. You get full access to all features: Renji AI recommendations, browsing anime, unlimited watchlists, streaming availability info, Forums, badges, trivia, battles, events, and more.
We don't sell user data. Information you provide is used within RekoGen to improve recommendations and ensure a safer community experience. Read our full Privacy Policy for details on exactly how data is handled.

Right now RekoGen is iOS-only (iPhone). We're focused on getting the iOS experience where we want it first, then we'll move to Android.
Not yet. With enough requests, importing from popular trackers can become a future feature—tell us which services you'd like supported.
RekoGen isn't a database—it's a discovery platform. MAL and AniList are great for cataloging what you've watched, but they don't solve the "where do I stream this?" problem. RekoGen shows you which platform has each anime (Crunchyroll, Netflix, Hulu, etc.), gives you Renji as a personal AI guide, and lets you connect with fans in Forums. Plus you get badges, trivia, character battles, and events—features built for engagement, not just tracking.
Every anime in RekoGen shows which streaming platforms currently have it available. We track availability across Crunchyroll, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, HIDIVE, HBO Max, Paramount+, and more. When you find something to watch, you'll know exactly where to stream it—no more Googling or checking multiple apps.
Yes! This is actually one of our core goals. Most recommendation systems push trending or popular shows, but RekoGen and Renji help you discover hidden gems and forgotten anime that deserve more attention—shows that slipped through the cracks but might become your new favorite.
