Hello Anime Fans! We often receive common questions, especially from those just starting their anime journey. In this article Question Answer, we will give you answers to the questions you have asked us on our social media accounts, or on the aniworldtv site.
When I was a beginner, navigating the vast world of anime felt overwhelming, with Google often highlighting only the most mainstream and sometimes very long series.
So, let’s tackle some of these frequently asked questions to help you on your way!
Question Answer
Q. How To Find Out What Anime A Picture Is From?
A. The easiest way to identify an anime from an image is by using reverse image search tools. Here are two excellent and user-friendly options:
Google Images:
- Take a screenshot of the image.
- Go to Google Images.
- Click the camera icon (“Search by image”).
- You can either upload your screenshot or paste the image URL.
- Google will display visually similar results and websites where the image appears, often revealing the anime’s name.
Yandex Images:
- Similar to Google Images, Yandex Images is another powerful reverse image search engine.
- If Google doesn’t yield the desired results, Yandex can sometimes be more effective in identifying anime. Follow the same steps as with Google Images: upload the image or paste the URL.
Q. How To Decide What Anime To Watch Next?
A. Choosing your next anime can be exciting! Here are four steps to help you find something you’ll enjoy:
- Utilize Anime Recommendation Sites: These platforms offer suggestions based on your viewing history and preferences.
- MyAnimeList (MAL): myanimelist.net – A comprehensive database where you can track your watched anime, discover new series based on your ratings and those of others, and explore recommendations.

- AniList: anilist.co – Similar to MAL, AniList allows you to track anime, create lists, and find recommendations. Some users find its interface more customizable.
- Explore Genres and Themes:
- Genre Lists: If you’ve enjoyed a particular genre (e.g., action, romance, sci-fi, fantasy), delve deeper into that category. Many websites and communities have curated lists of anime within specific genres.
- Top Anime: Look for “top anime” lists within your preferred genre or overall. If you’re a beginner, starting with shorter series or those with fewer seasons can be less daunting. (You might find our “Best Anime in Spring” series helpful!)
- Check Ratings and Reviews:
- User Reviews: Platforms like Reddit (r/anime) and anime database sites often have user reviews and discussions. See what others are saying about a series you’re considering.
- Top Lists: Keep an eye out for “must-watch” anime lists on social media and various anime platforms to get a general idea of popular and well-regarded series.
- Follow Recommendations:
- Friends: Ask friends who also watch anime for their recommendations. Personal suggestions can often lead to great discoveries.
- Community: Join anime communities on platforms like Discord, Reddit, or forums. Members frequently share recommendations and discuss their favorite shows.
- Social Media: Follow anime influencers on YouTube, Twitter, or Instagram for their opinions and recommendations on new and classic anime.
Q. How To Find What Anime A Character Is From?
A. Identifying an anime character can be done through several methods:
- Using Image Recognition Tools:
- Google Images: As mentioned earlier, you can use Google Images’ reverse image search to upload a picture or screenshot of the character. Google’s visual search might directly identify the anime.
- Trace.moe: trace.moe is a website specifically designed to identify anime screenshots. Simply upload the image, and it will often pinpoint the exact episode and timestamp.
- Character Databases:
- MyAnimeList (MAL): You can search for characters by name on Myanimelist.. If you know the character’s name, this is a direct way to find the anime they’re from.
- AniList: Similar to MAL, Anilist also has a character search function.
- Direct Search:
- Google: If you know the character’s name, a simple Google search like “[character name] anime” can often yield quick results.

Q. How To Know What Anime To Watch Based On Your Experience Level?
A. Here’s a general guide based on your familiarity with anime:
- Beginner: Start by exploring popular and well-regarded anime with manageable episode counts (12-26 episodes) or those with self-contained seasons. Searching for “anime for beginners” will yield many great starting points across various genres.
- Intermediate: At this level, you likely have a better understanding of your preferred genres. You can now explore anime similar to those you’ve already enjoyed or delve into series with more episodes or complex narratives within your favorite genres.
- Advanced: If you consider yourself an advanced anime watcher, you’ve likely seen many of the top-rated series. You might now be more inclined to explore niche genres, longer-running shows, or even give anime that initially seem less appealing a chance. Your experience allows you to be more adventurous in your choices.
