The full Otaku-Streamers library, played by the same engine as the desktop site. Resume across devices and save episodes for offline. The player is landscape-aware and responds the way you'd expect.

02 — Track & Discover

Track everything you watch.
Find what's next.

A real watchlist with the chips you'd expect — Plan to watch, Watching, Completed, On hold. A browse hub with every genre, season, and ranking we have. A search that knows people and titles equally.

Browse hub

Seven ways into the library.

One screen, every entry point — Calendar, Genres, Seasons, Top titles, Top rated, Favorites, and a Surprise me pill for when nothing sounds right. Each tile is a color so you can find the one you want without reading.

03 — Shoutbox

A live chat that's always going.

A real-time shoutbox — the room is rarely empty. Send GIFs, paste images, mention friends, react to last night's episode while it's still hot.

Shoutbox — connected status, role-pilled messages, inline image embed

05 — Watch Parties

Watch together. In sync, in real time.

The flagship social moment of the app. Pick a title, schedule a time, send the link to your friends — or browse what's live right now and just tap Join. Playback is host-controlled, the chat panel lives underneath, and everyone in the room sees the same frame at the same second.

Watch party room — LIVE pill, host-controlled player, 2 watching now, Up next queue, Party chat
  • One host, one timeline.The host's pause is everyone's pause. Seek forward, the room follows. No more "ok, three, two, one, play."

  • Up next queue.Stack the next three episodes — or three different titles — and the room rolls into the next one automatically.
  • Party chat.A dedicated chat panel underneath the player. Reactions, jokes, theories — all timestamped with the scene that triggered them.
