A website allowing anime fans to quickly see the characters that a voice actor has voiced. Using the AniList GraphQL API.
- Seiyuu
- The Japanese term for a voice actor in an anime
- Sauce
- Internet slang for the word source ("Send me that picture's sauce!")
The search menu allows for voice actor lookup via a character name or voice actor name. A character query is first sent, and if that fails, a voice actor query is sent.
- Partial names can be used; however, in the case of matching names, first and last name will provide the best results.
- Japanese name ordering (Last Name, First Name) is not required.
- Results are ordered by the character's popularity metric on AniList
Click on the various card elements to open the AniList page for the respective element.
Shows to List:
- Specifies the maximum number of shows/characters do display from the voice actor
- Defaults to 25, which is the maximum due to Anilist's API Pagination
Romaji Names:
- Specifies if the show and character names are displayed in their English translated form, or their romanized English form
The import menu allows for any user's AniList to be imported into the site. After the AniList has been imported, voice actor/character searches will first display characters from shows the user has seen before shows that have not been seen.
- These will be shown with a blue border, as opposed to the default red border.
- Authentication is not required, so any user's account can be imported
The last voice actor query, and last user list import will be saved to the browser cache allowing the site to resume where last left off when reopened.
- If a user list is saved, it will take a second to load in
The site URL will be modified with ?search={name} upon a successful search. This custom URL can be copied and shared by clicking on the share button, or just by copying the current URL.
-
If a userlist is cached, then the URL based query will cross-reference.
Voice Actor/Character Query Keeps Failing Desipte Correct Name:
- Romanized Japanese names do not have consistent spelling, check for letters such as u or o (Nao Toyama vs Nao Touyama)
The Page Isn't Showing All of The Shows/Characters:
- Try scrolling down, the cards will fade in
A Show is Not Shown With The Proper Blue Border for 'Seen'
- Getting a userlist from the browser cache is based on a setTimeout function which results in JS timing issues when loading extremely long userlists
- Reset the page, reimport the AniList, and perform the search again
