News

The site speaks 23 languages, but the news section only came in three: everyone else read it in English. From now on each announcement is written in all 23. Whatever language you're browsing in, that's the language you'll read the news in — in the 🔔 bell and on the news page alike. If an announcement hasn't been translated yet, it falls back to English instead of showing you nothing.

The biggest mobile pass yet, across the whole site and Anime Saga. The card duel stopped moving on its own. The rival's hand used to be drawn card by card, so every time they drew or played, the entire board jumped sideways in the middle of your turn. It's now a fixed counter that never shifts the layout. Card text went from unreadable to legible, and on touch a first tap raises a card so you can actually read it before a second tap plays it — no more playing a card you never saw. Building your roster works like a game now. Tapping a card opens it: big art, rarity, level and abilities, with the action button right under your thumb. Your deck and the save button follow you down the whole collection instead of sitting offscreen at the top. In the Adventure, the dialogue box no longer covers the character who's speaking — they each get their own space, and tapping anywhere advances the scene. Landscape exists now. Rotating your phone used to hand you the desktop layout squeezed into 390px of height, with the main button cut off behind the tab bar. The whole site now adapts: compact bars, and the duel splits into two columns so the board, your hand and End Turn are all on screen at once. Also: content no longer gets cut off at the right edge on any screen, the menu button is reachable again, and sections load noticeably faster.

The whole site is now available in 23 languages. On top of Spanish, English and Portuguese we added the 20 most spoken languages in the world: Japanese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Russian, French, Korean, German, Thai, Indonesian, Italian, Vietnamese, Turkish, Polish, Filipino, Arabic, Ukrainian, Czech, Dutch, Romanian and Hungarian. It is not a half-job: every menu, button, card, achievement and the entire Adventure story — over 3,100 texts per language — is translated. Arabic reads right to left, with the layout flipped properly, and Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Thai get their own fonts so nothing shows up as boxes. Your language is picked automatically from your country the first time you land, and you can change it any time from the flag in the header. Each language has its own address (animelust.com/ja, /ko, /ar…), so you can share a link and the other person opens it already in their language.

The Daily Card Shop was broken in three different ways at once. All three are fixed. **It often opened empty, or stuck on "loading".** The shop builds its 10-card window the first time someone opens it each day, and to do that it was reading the ENTIRE card catalogue — which has grown past 650,000 cards. That took minutes and timed out, so on many days the window was never built and the shop stayed dead for the full 24 hours. It now picks its 10 cards in about two seconds, drawing from every card in the game instead of only the oldest ones. **Buying a second card failed with "This card is not in today's shop".** Half of your daily line-up is made of skins from characters you own, and that half was being re-rolled from your collection every time the shop was rebuilt: the moment you bought one card — or pulled ANY card from a summon, a pack or a trade — the other three silently became different cards on the server, while your screen still showed the old ones. Your personal picks are now locked for the whole day: one skin from each of four of your characters, drawn from that character's entire set. You'll also see four different characters instead of three skins of the same one. Cards you already own still show up, marked as owned. **A shop that failed to load looked like an empty shop.** Both places that show it — the Marketplace tab and the shop popup in Summons — just said there were no cards today, with nothing you could do about it. They now tell you the load failed and give you a Retry button.

The official AnimeLust Discord server is open, right next to the usual Telegram channel. The home page now shows both communities side by side so you can pick where to hang out: Telegram for the daily image packs and news, Discord to chat with the community, request new characters and hear about every update first. Both links are in the footer too. Join here: https://discord.gg/MteEZYYKTh

We added over a million hand-drawn (non-AI) images across more than 1,400 characters. You can now choose what you see with the 🎨 selector in the top menu (on mobile it lives inside "More"): • AI art — AI-generated only • Both — a mix of the two (default) • No AI — hand-drawn only The filter changes what you see across the site and what you pull from the gacha from now on. Your cards are untouched: everything already in your collection stays exactly as it is, whatever you pick. We also fixed male characters dropping cards in a female version for no reason. That now only shows up when you use a card that triggers the effect. I'm working through the bugs you reported via "Report bug". Thanks for playing, and for letting us know!

If you played with the site in English or Portuguese and opened the chat with a character inside a minigame (chess, checkers, RPS and the rest of the arcade), she would answer only in Spanish no matter what. Fixed — the in-game chat now respects your language, just like the main Chat page always did. Thanks to the player who reported this after a chess match!

Two new stories are live in Novels. Hinata Hyūga — “My Son's Friend”: you play Boruto's friend, the one she treats like family, until one photo changes everything (120 pages, two endings). And Orihime Inoue — “The Boss's Coffee”: a long, chapter-after-chapter story at the office. Every character's first story is free. Go play them!

Player-to-player trading just got a full overhaul. You can now trade cards AND coins together, add a message, and browse the other player's collection to pick exactly what you want. A new Trades hub keeps Incoming, Outgoing and History in one place, and a public Trade Board lets you post open "I offer X, looking for Y" deals — with wildcards like *any legendary* or *any card of a character* — that anyone can fulfill. You can block users, and every offer shows a value summary that warns you if you're giving away too much. Everything you offer is safely held the moment you propose, so a trade can never duplicate or lose your cards. Find it in the new Trade section.

Looping background music now plays across the rest of the game: Grind battles (with a heavier track for boss fights), PvP duels, and Chess matches each get their own music, with a music on/off button separate from the sound effects. Phone stories now have the same mood music as Novels — a tense track for NTR/cheating stories and a softer one for the rest — and in Novels the softer stories switch to a dedicated climax track during the hottest moments, while NTR stories swell louder at the climax.

Two new drops in /games: ⛀ Checkers & Fuck — Play a real game of checkers against your anime girl, with forced captures, chained jumps and crowned kings. Every piece you take strips a layer off her; clear the board and the night is yours. Pick your opponent from the roster. 💔 Asuna's Training (NTR) — Your girlfriend Asuna (Sword Art Online) got a new gym trainer… and she texts you a photo of every "correction". 29 illustrated scenes, you're Kirito and all you can do is watch. Playable as a novel or as a chat. Enter your name or continue as Kirito. All free, in English, Spanish and Portuguese. 18+, all characters are adults.

We're launching two new ways to live out your fantasies, both playable and free: 📱 Phone — Your character texts you straight to the chat and sends one photo with every message while she gives herself to someone else, and all you can do is watch from the other side of the screen. Pure NTR/cuck: jealousy, heat and live humiliation, where your replies are pure reaction. 📖 Novels — A visual-novel format, far more vanilla and romantic: a large image, a dialogue box, and your choices steer where the story goes. For now the star is Makima, with one story in each mode. We'll be adding more characters and chapters very often. Play now: 📱 https://animelust.com/en/games/phone 📖 https://animelust.com/en/games/novels

We squashed two bugs that were tripping people up: • Your Gallery loads again — in Profile → Gallery the card photos were showing as card backs for most cards. Now every card shows its real image, and it loads far faster thanks to lighter thumbnails. • Card banner summons work again — the Card banner was failing with "no action cards available" even though there are hundreds of thousands of them. Summoning on the Card banner is back, and so are the legendary cards you earn from daily streaks, calendar events and referrals.
