Idea type: Minimal Signal
There’s barely any market activity - either because the problem is very niche or not important enough. You’ll need to prove real demand exists before investing significant time.
Should You Build It?
Not yet, validate more.
Your are here
Your idea of a website where users can share their favorite anime characters falls into a category where there isn't much proven demand. We only found two similar products, which suggests it's either a very niche problem or not a burning one for most people. These similar products also had very low engagement, with an average of zero comments. There is no net use or buy signal. In your specific case, this means you need to do some serious validation before sinking too much time into building this out. Right now, the data suggests it might not be worth it.
Recommendations
- Start by engaging with the anime community directly. Find online forums, subreddits, or Discord servers where anime fans hang out. Share mockups of your website and gauge their initial interest. Ask them if they'd actually use a platform to share their favorite character lists and why (or why not).
- Offer to curate character lists manually for a few anime fans. This will give you firsthand insights into their preferences and pain points. What characters are popular? What kind of organization do they prefer? How do they currently share their favorites?
- Create a short, engaging video showcasing the concept of your website. Highlight the key features and benefits for anime fans. Share this video on social media and in anime communities to see how many people watch it and what their reactions are.
- Consider creating a waiting list for your website and asking for a small, non-refundable deposit to join. This is a strong signal of commitment. Frame it as early access to exclusive features or content. It will help filter out casual interest and identify truly motivated users.
- Based on the feedback from Anime PFP Collection, focus on community engagement features early on to foster stickiness. Think about how to make character list sharing interactive and social. Can users comment on each other's lists? Can they discover new characters through friend recommendations?
- Set a clear goal: find five individuals ready to support your idea within three weeks through actions like joining the waiting list or providing detailed feedback. If you cannot achieve this, it might be best to reconsider the project's viability or pivot to a related but more compelling idea.
Questions
- Given the low engagement with similar products, what specific features will make your website stand out and encourage active participation from anime fans? How will you differentiate your platform from existing social media channels where users can already share their interests?
- How will you measure the success of your initial validation efforts? What specific metrics will you track to determine whether there is enough genuine demand for your website to justify further development?
- Are there other related areas within the anime community that might be more profitable or have higher demand, such as creating personalized character-themed merchandise or offering custom character design services?

This chart summarizes all the similar products we found for your idea in a single plot.
The x-axis represents the overall feedback each product received. This is calculated from the net use and buy signals that were expressed in the comments. The maximum is +1, which means all comments (across all similar products) were positive, expressed a willingness to use & buy said product. The minimum is -1 and it means the exact opposite.
The y-axis captures the strength of the signal, i.e. how many people commented and how does this rank against other products in this category. The maximum is +1, which means these products were the most liked, upvoted and talked about launches recently. The minimum is 0, meaning zero engagement or feedback was received.
The sizes of the product dots are determined by the relevance to your idea, where 10 is the maximum.
Your idea is the big blueish dot, which should lie somewhere in the polygon defined by these products. It can be off-center because we use custom weighting to summarize these metrics.
