Happy Anniversary to ACDB!!!

[Image]

18 years of serving only what we can give to all anime fans on this planet!
(Outer-planetary visitors are also welcome 👽)

We’re now old enough to vote, rent a car, and legally drink — cheers to that!🍻
Well... almost!

Thank you for being with us on this amazing journey. Whether you’ve been here since day one or just joined last week, you’re part of what makes ACDB so special.

🎉 Founding History

Back in 2007, a young dreamer named Rei decided to be bold and build his own website — to serve the community with something they truly needed: a way to identify anime characters on the internet!
With that simple yet brilliant idea, Anime Characters Database was born!

Over the years, ACDB has stayed true to its core mission. Sure, we’ve added a few bells and whistles along the way — we’re never shy to try something new!

Charming, right? The graphics have come a long way, but we’ve always stayed true to our ideals — and our local goddess, Konata!

Now it’s your turn!
We’d love to hear from YOU, our awesome ACDB community. Pop into the Lounges or the chatbox and share your first memory of discovering the site.

Also… anyone want to guess how many cups of coffee and days of non-stop coding Rei pulled to get ACDB to where it is today?

Send your guess to our Ko-fi page *wink* *wink*

Thank you all for being a part of this wild and wonderful ride.
Here’s to another amazing year with ACDB! 🎊
