GitHub Sponsors Profile

🌟 Welcome Adventurer! 🌟
We're a passionate team working on an open-source anime discovery, tracking and streaming service named Kurozora. But it's not only anime, as Kurozora also offers manga, game and music with a growing collection of over 90,000 Japanese media combined — all without ads.
Kurozora's mission consist of three parts that work together to improve the user’s experience while also keeping the industry healthy:



Offering better anime streaming services
Problem
Back in 2016, I was fed up with the state of anime streaming: pricy subscriptions, limited catalogs, and poor quality options. These are true even today. As a result, many anime fans turn to illegal streaming sites for a better experience. At Kurozora, we aim to change that.
Goal
Our goal is to combine the best of legal and illegal services. We’ll offer legal streaming with affordable subscription plans that cater to different budgets, a free tier with better experience and video quality, provide all anime to all users regardless of location, and ensure safe streaming without spicy ads, pop-ups, and malware.




Be a reliable and modern anime tracking service
Problem
In 2017, the Aozora app, for which I served as one of the admins, was acquired by Kitsu. While I appreciate the value that Kitsu brings to the users, I noticed that some of the unique features that made Aozora stand out were not carried over to the Kitsu platform. Additionally, many existing tracking services have outdated user experiences, and even poorer mobile apps. There’s a lack of innovation.
Goal
We understand the importance of having a reliable and up-to-date tracking service for your anime, manga, and game collections. We will improve the tracking experience for everyone, with features that matter to anime, manga and game fans like you. We’ll offer modern user experiences and user interfaces, while making sure it’s as intuitive and easy to use.




Support the anime industry
Problem
During the same time back in 2016 (and recently in 2020), there were kickstarters for collecting funds to give to anime artists, since they didn't make enough money. Also in the years prior, a lot of beloved anime studios went bankrupt (Manglobe
