About Shonen Spin

Two free browser games for anime fans.

Anime Ascent

Anime Ascent is a daily anime quiz in the spirit of Krillion. Every day brings seven questions, the same for everyone, such as “Name any character with red hair”, “Name any Studio Ghibli film” or “Name any starter Pokémon”. You have 30 seconds to name one valid answer for each.

The twist is that obvious answers barely count. Each answer has a rarity, and the rarer your pick, the higher your climber gets up the mountain. Each question hides one Limit Break answer that’s worth full points. A perfect run reaches the 5,000 m summit. When you finish, you can see how you compare with everyone else who climbed that day, and every answer we accept for each question.

Shonen Spin

Shonen Spin is an anime squad builder. Spin the wheel to land on a faction, draft a fighter from it into one of eight roles, and see your percentage chance to beat the Villain Gauntlet, a line-up of famous anime antagonists. Play it at shonenspin.com/spin.

How the questions are made

Every question and answer list is written and checked by hand. Rarity scores are our editorial estimate of how obscure an answer is, not how strong or important a character is. Answer lists grow over time. If we missed a valid answer or got something wrong, tell us on the contact page and we’ll fix it.

Who we are

Shonen Spin is a small independent fan project made by anime fans. It is free to play and supported by advertising. It isn’t affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any anime studio, publisher, streaming service or rights holder, or by Krillion. All character names and series titles belong to their respective owners and are used only to identify them in trivia.
