Hi Product Hunt!
Ever thought about an anime or manga whose title you completely forgot, even though one specific scene is still vivid in your head?
Introducing Anime Akashic Records (AAR)—a semantic discovery engine and dense vector database built to find exact works and scenes from pure natural language descriptions.
The whole idea started when I forgot the name of a manga and spent three straight days digging through forums and tag databases trying to find it. Traditional databases like MAL, AniList, and VNDB only work when you already know the exact title or rigid tags, and general LLMs constantly hallucinate titles and episode numbers. Once I finally found that manga, I decided to build a real fix for the problem—and when I finished building AAR, it found that exact manga on the very first search in under 300ms.
What powers AAR under the hood:
- 146,140+ indexed works for general discovery (69.8k+ Manga, 37k+ Anime, 20k+ Visual Novels, 11.7k+ Light Novels, and 7.5k+ Manhwa) with cross-platform ID mapping (MAL, AniList, TMDB, VNDB, AniDB).
- 102,264+ indexed anime episodes across 7,535+ series (broken down into 762,318+ timestamped scenes) and 10,565+ story arcs for deep scene-level search.
- High-precision, sub-300ms retrieval powered by dense vector embeddings and a two-stage neural reranking pipeline.
- A full Developer REST API, recommendation engine, and MCP server for AI agents and third-party apps.
