About

An anime studio that shows its work.

Animetrope turns one line of an idea into an anime episode: a script in three acts, a storyboard of forty-odd shots and drawings made stroke by stroke, live, in your browser. It starts drawing in under a second.

There is no image model and no text model behind it. A prose engine with a voice per genre writes the script. Ten shot rules cut each line into a panel. A character rig draws people from construction lines to color, with a brush that behaves like a real nib, and a stage inks every set back to front. Under every shot you can see which rule made it.

Rules, not modelsEvery line of dialogue and every stroke can be traced to the rule that made it.

Gets better every weekWhen we improve the rig, the brush, the stage or the writer, the site picks it up, after a check that nothing got worse.

You can correct itFlag a bad shot and the flag lands on the exact rule that drew it.

Who makes it

Animetrope is made by a small studio inside MobCorp, a family of independent companies that share their tools. Its sister company GameGob makes games with the same characters and the same rig.
