Watch Party

Watch together

Same episode, same second, wherever your friends are.

Everyone in step

Start a party from any episode. When the host plays, pauses or seeks, every player follows. Join halfway through and you land where everyone else is.

Chat and react

Talk over the episode without leaving it. Messages appear over the video, and six quick reactions sit one tap away from any bubble.

An invite that just works

Share a link or a short code like ABCD-2345. Paste the whole message if you like Otavue finds the code in it and ignores the look-alike letters.

The host decides

Guests follow along by default. Flip “Guests can control playback” when you want anyone in the room to pause for snacks.

Unread, counted

Hide the chat and a badge keeps count of what you missed, so the big scene doesn't get buried under messages.

Your own profile

Pick a name and an avatar for the room. Your watch-party identity stays on your phone and is never part of a backup.

Rankings

Every episode counts

Join with a username and your hours start climbing.

Watching board
Otavue Reading board screen

Otavue Your rank on your profile screen
Your rank on your profile

Eight ranks

Passerby, Regular, Binger, Devotee, Otaku, Sensei, Legend and Kami, each with its own colour, from 0 to 1,600 hours.

Watching and reading

Two separate boards: watching counts minutes, reading counts chapters, so neither can outrun the other.

Today to all time

Top people and the shows everyone is on, by day, week, month and all time, with where you stand.

Fourteen secret titles

Cards you earn for the way you watch, like Night Owl, Marathon or Detour. Nobody tells you how to get them.

Only real watching

An episode counts when you play it through, never from a manual mark, and 18+ titles never count.

Yours to delete

Deleting your username removes it with your rankings history and titles. Everything else stays on your phone.

The player

Built for the couch, the train and the dark

Every control is where your thumb already is.

Taps that add up

Double tap either side to skip, and tapping again keeps adding to the same jump. Hold anywhere for 2× speed.

Slide for light and sound

Drag up and down on the left for brightness, on the right for volume. Drags near the edge are left to your phone.

Past the opening in one press

Intros skip themselves when the source marks them. When it doesn't, +85s clears the cold open and the OP in one tap.

Pick the quality yourself

Choose from what the episode really offers, change it mid-episode, and it's remembered for the next one. Missing? The next one down plays.

It tries the next server

If a server fails or stalls, the next one picks up at the same second and the intro markers come along with it.

Sub or dub, your call

Set the version you prefer once. Otavue reaches for it first on every series.

Skip filler

Filler episodes are marked in the list. Turn on Skip filler and Next and auto-play step over the whole run.

Keep watching in a small window

Leave mid-episode and it carries on in picture-in-picture while you answer a message.

Subtitles the way you read

Size, colour, background, outline and position, with a live preview before you commit.

Fit the picture

Fit, zoom, stretch, 16:9 or 4:3 — switching never reloads the video.

Auto-play next

Finish an episode and the next one is already rolling. Your place is saved every few seconds, and the moment you leave.

Your skip distance

Seek by 5, 10, 15 or 30 seconds — set once during setup, change it any time.

App Language

LOCALIZATION

The interface speaks your language. Every row leads with a crisp flag and native endonym, ensuring you can always navigate safely even after an accidental change.

System default

Matches your phone's language (defaults to English)

English

Full English translation across all menus, reader and player

Español

Traducción completa al español para menús, reproductor y biblioteca

Planned Language RolloutIn development

Bahasa Indonesiaid

Four stream audio choices

Switch between Japanese original (Sub), English dub, Latin American Spanish dub (es-419), and French dub right from the player or series screen.

Episode counts per language

See exactly how many episodes exist for each audio language before pressing play, so you never get surprised halfway through a season.

Set your preference once

Pick sub or dub in your settings. Otavue looks for your preferred audio first on every series you start.

Intelligent server & audio fallback

If your chosen dub isn't available for an episode, Otavue falls back to original Japanese without stalling or losing your playback position.

Normalized subtitles in 9+ languages

Subtitle tracks in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Arabic, Russian and Indonesian are automatically normalized from varying server tags.

App interface in English & Español

Complete app localization in English and Spanish, with automatic matching to your phone's system language.

Safe native endonyms

Every language is labeled in its own native script (like Español or 日本語). If you ever change language accidentally, you can always find your way back.

Planned global expansion

Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, and Indonesian are already in the translation and QA pipeline for upcoming releases.

Manga & novels

Not just anime

The manga and the light novel live in the same app as the show.

190 manga sources, and counting

Add the extensions repository to install publishers' readers, MangaDex and scanlation groups' sites. New ones arrive almost daily.

Browse extensions

Read manga your way

Long-strip vertical scrolling or page by page, right-to-left or left-to-right, and the screen stays on while you read.

A real novel reader

Pick the text size, line height and a sans or serif face, on dark, true black, sepia or light paper.

Light and web novels

Browse AniList's novel catalogue, link a title to its text once, and Otavue remembers the copy you chose.

Chapters, tracked

Every chapter you finish moves your progress forward, just like an episode — and syncs to your trackers.

Offline too

Download chapters and novel text the same way you download episodes.

Seasons, in order

A franchise's main seasons sit in a strip on the series page, so the sequel is one tap away.

06

Offline

No signal, no problem

Queue a season before bed. It's there in the morning.

Otavue Downloads screen
Downloads

Episodes, chapters and novels

One Downloads tab for everything you saved, grouped by title and marked “works offline”.

It keeps going when you leave

Switch apps or lock your phone and downloads carry on. Interrupted ones retry and pick up where they stopped.

Save at the size you want

Cap downloads at 480p, 720p or 1080p. Each episode takes the best quality available up to that.

Wi-Fi only, if you like

One switch keeps downloads off your mobile data.

Room left for your phone

Otavue checks the space left as it goes and stops a download rather than filling your storage.

Subtitles come too

A downloaded episode keeps its subtitle tracks and plays in the same player, with the same seeking, as a streamed one.

07

Your library

Know exactly where you stand

Every show, manga and novel you follow, and what's new in each.

Otavue Library screen
Library
Otavue Series page screen
Series page

New, Behind, Caught up

Each title shows whether something dropped since you last watched, whether you're behind, or whether you're caught up and waiting.

Statuses that make sense

Planning, watching, completed, on hold or dropped — plus favourites for the ones you rewatch.

Grid or list, sorted your way

By last updated, title or date added, remembered separately for anime, manga and novels.

Continue, to the minute

Home opens on what you're partway through, at the episode and the second you stopped.

Move a title to another source

If a copy disappears, migrate the title to another one. Your progress and tracker links come with it.

Back it up

Export your library, progress and settings as one file and restore it on a new phone. Older backups upgrade themselves.

08

Trackers

Your list keeps itself up to date

Connect AniList or MyAnimeList and finishing an episode here finishes it there.

AniList and MyAnimeList

Sign in with the service's own login page. Otavue never sees your password.

Found automatically

Titles with a MyAnimeList id are matched on their own. Anything else, bind from the title's Tracking page.

Bring your whole list

Import from AniList in one go. Titles already in your library keep their status — nothing of yours is replaced.

Never matched by name

Otavue matches by id, not title, so a similarly named show or another season of the same franchise can't get mixed up.

Removing is local

Taking a title out of your library never removes it from your tracker.

Gentle on the servers

A burst of edits goes out as one update per title, and anything queued offline is sent next time you open the app.

09

Picks come from your own library, and each one tells you which show it's because of. Your watching history stays on the device.

The week, in your time zone

Reminders

Tap the bell on a title and your phone tells you when the next episode is out.

Search everywhere at once

One search across every source you have, with the ones that found something listed first.

A daily message

Optional anime quotes and messages, one a day, as a notification or right in the app.

Rewards & Sparks

Watch, read, earn

Complete quests and collect Sparks, the currency you spend on profile cosmetics.

Sparks, earned for real watching

Finish an episode or read a chapter the way the rankings count it, played through, not manually marked — and Sparks land in your wallet.

Daily and weekly quests

A fresh set of quests resets every day, a longer set every week. They ask you to watch or read a set amount, and they pay when you claim them.

Tied to your username

Sparks are stored with your username on Otavue's servers, so they survive a new phone or a reinstall. No username, no wallet.

Claim when you're ready

Finished quests sit there until you tap Claim. A finished quest from yesterday can still be claimed today before the timer runs out.

Nothing to do but play

Quests count the same thing the rankings count. There's no separate tracking, no opt-in, and no way to game it — just watch.

The balance goes with you

Your Sparks balance, earned total and spent total are on your profile. The shop links right from the wallet.

Shop & cosmetics

Make it yours

Spend Sparks on profile cosmetics made for Otavue.

Otavue Community profiles screen

Avatar frames

Borders that wrap your avatar, animated or still, tied to ranks, seasons or events. Equip one and it shows everywhere your avatar does.

Banner art

A wide header image behind your name on the profile card. Original Otavue art, refreshed with new ones as the shop grows.

Nameplates

A styled background for your username in rank lists and the watch-party room, so you stand out in the crowd.

Profile effects

Animated overlays that play on your profile card when someone visits. Subtle or loud — the shop has both.

Cosmetic titles

A short line of text under your name, separate from the rank titles you earn. Pick one from the shop or leave it empty.

Preview before you buy

Tapping an item in the shop puts it on your own profile card so you can see exactly what it looks like before spending anything.

Yours, on your phone

No account

Open it and watch. Sign in to a tracker only if you want your list to follow you.

No tracking

Your library, progress and recommendations are worked out and kept on the device.

Nothing held back

No tiers and no ads. Everything on this page is in the app you download.

Get it, then tell us what's broken.

Otavue is built with a small group of people who actually watch on it. What they run into is what gets fixed, and what gets built next.
