Live Anime
An anime that is still being decided.
Live Anime is a channel with an active canonical storyline. It streams in your project's 16:9 or 9:16 format, viewers watch the current buffer, submit proposals, and vote for future story beats. Generation, safety review, assembly, and stream append happen continuously, and every accepted segment joins a permanent archive.

The audience loop
What happens in a round
- 01
Watch
Viewers watch the current canonical segment while the pipeline works on a future position.
- 02
Propose
During a 30-second ideation window, anyone eligible submits an idea and explicitly authorizes a capped amount of their own credits, chargeable only if the idea wins and is produced.
- 03
Admission
In the next 10 seconds the platform evaluates every proposal for safety, rights, your world's rules and lore, funding, provider capability, buffer deadline, and abuse. Ineligible proposals are rejected before voting at no charge.
- 04
Vote
A 20-second vote. One eligible account, one vote. Credits do not add weight.
- 05
Lock
The winner locks. Every losing reservation is released immediately. The winning production is funded only by its proposer and opt-in co-funders.
- 06
Direct
The winning beat goes to the active Director Mode, which turns it into a one-shot or multi-shot plan of up to four 15-second clips.
- 07
Produce and review
Keyframe, video, moderation, and technical validation, all ahead of playback.
- 08
Append
The accepted segment joins the buffered stream and the story graph. The next window opens while playback continues.
Cadence
15-second clips, 60-second rounds
A winning choice is a narrative beat that can cover the next story block. Auto Director expands it into up to four ordered 15-second clips when it needs extra coverage, reactions, dialogue, or transitions, so the audience does not have to vote every fifteen seconds.
Generate ahead, never in the moment
Locking a vote schedules a future buffered position whose deadline includes generation, moderation, retries, encoding, and CDN propagation. Provider speed claims are not buffer guarantees; everything is benchmarked.
768p broadcast, remaster later
The original broadcast targets 768p. Provider-native 720p may enter only as a disclosed, qualified fallback. After the session, the owner can pay for a separate 1080p or 2K remaster that creates a new archive edition and never replaces what aired.
Gapless by design
Neutral reaction shots, establishing shots, recaps, and intermission cards matching your style keep the show playing through slow, failed, or rejected generations. Nothing unmoderated ever enters the stream.
Direction
What happens is a story decision. How it is shown is a direction decision.
Viewers pick what happens next. They are not asked about lenses, coverage, or screen direction. When you enable a direction poll it uses plain language: stay with the hero, show the rival's reaction, reveal the new location.
Auto Director
Default. Extends the current shot when subject, location, action, and screen direction stay coherent; cuts when focus changes; starts a new scene when place or time moves. Every decision is recorded and reproducible.
Assisted Director
The system proposes a plain-language shot plan and a cut-or-continue recommendation. You accept or pick an alternative before the deadline; otherwise the declared automatic policy applies.
Manual Director
You control shot boundaries, subject, shot size, angle, composition, movement, duration, transition, and keyframes. Safety, rights, continuity, budget, and buffer constraints still apply.
Direction profiles: cinematic, energetic action, intimate dialogue, comedy, contemplative, or custom.
Participant funding
Only the people who choose to back an idea pay for it.
- 1
Submitting a chargeable proposal reserves a capped amount of the proposer's own credits. The maximum cost, estimated clips, retry policy, expiry, and exact capture condition are shown before confirmation.
- 2
Other viewers may opt in to co-fund a proposal before lock. Nobody can authorize or spend another person's credits.
- 3
When voting closes, every losing reservation is released at once. A lost, removed, expired, rejected, or cancelled proposal costs zero.
- 4
The winner's accepted cost is allocated proportionally across frozen commitments, capped per person, with deterministic rounding that always adds up exactly.
- 5
If the winner lacks authorized credits the session uses only predeclared paths: a brief voluntary top-up, a cheaper plan the proposer already authorized, a funded runner-up, a fallback asset, or a clean pause. The owner, collaborators, project pool, and bystanders are never charged.
- 6
A session cannot start without enough participant reservations for the opening buffer and pauses cleanly before that runway is exhausted.
Governance
Owners set the rules in advance. The platform enforces them.
Versioned constraints
Canon boundaries, cast and location availability, content level, forbidden outcomes, budget and quality limits, and allowed creative latitude are declared before the round and applied consistently.
No post-vote veto
Once voting closes, the highest valid result proceeds if it remains admitted and funded. The owner cannot veto, replace, or reorder it. Only a newly discovered safety, legal, fraud, funding-integrity, or technical condition can stop it, with an immutable incident record and no charge.
Multilingual admission
A low-latency semantic evaluator reads proposals in English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean as untrusted data. Its structured result is one input to a deterministic admission service that cannot be overridden by the model.
Fixed content ceiling
Each session runs at Minna General, 13+, or 16+. Proposals and outputs that cannot fit the ceiling are rejected or never enter playback.
The archive
Late is fine. Everything that aired is still there.
Every accepted segment is written once to an immutable broadcast sequence. New viewers can start from the beginning, resume on any device, browse chapters, catch up with recaps, and jump to the live edge. Being behind live never grants a vote in a round that has already closed.
Broadcast edition
The exact sequence shown during the live event, with its historical choices and timestamps. It never changes.
Current archive edition
An owner-published revision that may replace defective segments, improve continuity, add localization, or reorganize chapters, with every link and comment bound to an explicit edition.
Live Anime rollout
Live Anime opens first as an invite-only pilot with staff monitoring one show per session. Self-service live eligibility follows once buffer, latency, and funding behavior are proven in real sessions. If you want to run one of the first shows, start a project now and apply from your project's Live workspace.
