To preface this, I'm not a Japanese speaker, so perhaps my fears are misplaced, but learning from anime seems like it'd present users with a very particular flavour of Japanese (i.e. one that is much more hyperactive or exaggerated than how the language might be used in day-to-day conversations between native speakers).

That being said, if this is meant to be an alternative to Duolingo, which is insistent that you absolutely need to know that the bear wants a cup of tea, then I guess this is infinitely better in that regard.

>4.8 star global App Store rating

Which app store?

I would love an option that doesn't require sign in with Google.

Can you disclose if AI was used to build the app, and, if yes, in what capacity?

I kind of imagined the app would be more than a handful of random sound samples for anime with subtitles?

I'm guessing the content is ripped (possibly legally due to the short duration - and using only(?) sound? Although if the subtitles are ripped too, I imagine that's not fair use?).

This is a description that turns on every red light in my head: "netflix for", "binge watching", "turning into", "keep you hooked", "but smarter" etc. - probably I'm not the target age demographic or maybe this is an American thing? Also, the meaning of literal, here, would be something like having a hamster named Duolingo and you built a gun to kill the animal. That's a literal killer appliance.
