Name the deep cut
Every day brings seven anime questions that work across all kinds of anime, like “Name any character with red hair”, “Name any Studio Ghibli film” or “Name any starter Pokémon”. You get 30 seconds to name one answer for each.
Obvious answers barely leave the ground. Deep cuts climb all the way up the mountain. Everyone gets the same seven questions, and you get one ascent per day.
How it works
- 1 · Name one answerType any valid answer before the clock runs out. Wrong guesses are free while time is left.
- 2 · Rarer climbs higherEach answer’s rarity sets how far you climb. A perfect run, with the rarest answer every time, reaches the 5,000 m summit.
- 3 · Share your climbPost your altitude and tier squares, with no spoilers, and dare your friends to beat it.
Answer tiers
- Fodder · 10
- Too Clever · 15
- Side Character · 30
- Rare · 60
- Deep Cut · 85
- Limit Break · 100
Watch out for Too Clever: the “obscure” pick everyone reaches for scores less than an honest side character.

FAQ
Is Anime Ascent like Krillion?
Yes. If you enjoy Krillion’s daily hunt for obscure answers, Anime Ascent is the same idea made for anime fans: name the rarest valid answer, with every question drawn from anime like One Piece, Naruto and Jujutsu Kaisen. It’s an independent fan project and isn’t affiliated with Krillion.
How is it scored?
Each answer lands in a tier, from Fodder (10 points) to Limit Break (100). Rarity is our editorial estimate of how obscure an answer is, not how strong the character is.
When do new questions come out?
A new set of seven unlocks every day at midnight Eastern time.
Is it free?
Yes. It’s free to play in your browser, with no account or download.
