GujoAnimes is an independent fan site for people who love anime. We build free tools and guides: anime name generators with real kanji and meanings, character quizzes, watch-order guides, Studio Ghibli guides and character lists. Everything is free and works without an account.
Who runs GujoAnimes
GujoAnimes is written and edited by James Henry. He writes the watch-order guides, the character lists and the text behind every name generator and quiz, and he is the person who reads the messages that come in through the contact page.
The site exists to fix two small annoyances. Most anime name generators online give you random syllables with no meaning, so you end up with a “Japanese” name no Japanese person would have. And most watch-order lists are either out of date or full of spoilers. GujoAnimes tries to do both jobs properly: names with real kanji and readings, and watch orders that give one clear path, say what you can skip, and get updated when a new season is announced.
What we write about
Most of the site is reference material you can come back to: name generators, Japanese name lists with meanings, personality quizzes, watch orders and Studio Ghibli guides. The GujoAnimes blog covers the things that change week to week, like new season dates, film releases and finales, so the evergreen guides can stay clean.
What we will not do
- Present a fan theory, leak or rumour as confirmed. If something is not official yet, we say so.
- Host pirated episodes or link to illegal streaming sites. Where to watch always means a legal service.
- Use official artwork as our own. Images on the site are original illustrations or are credited to their owner.
- Ask you to sign up. Every tool works without an account.

How we check our facts
Names
Japanese-style names use real given names and family names with checked kanji and readings. Fantasy and villain styles are clearly made for fiction.
Dates and watch orders
We check them against official sources such as studios, publishers and distributors, and we link our sources.
Updates
Every guide shows a “last updated” date, and we revise guides when new seasons, films or events are announced.
Opinions are labelled
Rankings and tier lists explain their rules, and we never present a fan theory as canon.
Original art
Our illustrations are made for GujoAnimes. We don’t re-host film stills or official artwork; when official images are free to use, we link to the official source instead.
