🗒️ Major Note
With this update, we’ve addressed most of the minor but recurring issues shared through user feedback. While many of the changes were visual, they reflect deeper systematic refinements behind the scenes. We didn’t rename or showcase all those internal fixes — but they’re there, working silently to improve your experience.
The current UI, which received a lot of praise in the last version, remains our foundation. Instead of replacing it, we focused on upgrading and stabilizing it — especially for mobile. Our goal was not just to introduce new characters and visuals, but to make sure the core experience feels smoother, faster, and more reliable going forward.
💬 Final Words from the Creator
“Every visual, every mascot — they all have a purpose. Many of these characters were waiting for their moment. This update gave them a place to belong.
We still carry the raw style Anime Addictive is known for, but with sharper visuals, more presence, and more soul.”Thank you for all the feedback and support. More to come in the next version.
Best regards,
The Anime Addictive Team
Well, enjoy this final illustration from our team.
Yuu-kun: 😅 And no, before anyone asks — I’m not the “weird dude” who kidnapped them from their universes just to turn them into mascots, okay!?
That was… someone else. Probably. Maybe. Let’s not investigate too deeply. 😅
