What if anyone could make anime with just a few taps? That’s exactly what VIVIBUDS offers. Recently launched in Japan and nine other regions, this new app by Cocone redefines anime creation as a social experience. Whether you’re an artist, a fan, or just someone who wants to express themselves, VIVIBUDS turns your imagination into vibrant short animations—and invites others to jump in. Let’s explore what makes this app so different from anything before.
What is VIVIBUDS?
VIVIBUDS is a newly released social anime app by Cocone that allows anyone to create and share 2D short animations. Designed as a space where creativity and community meet, the app lets users build characters, animate scenes, and even “crash” into other users’ animations with their own custom characters and items. It’s anime creation made interactive, collaborative—and fun.
How is it different?
While other anime-related apps focus on streaming or drawing, VIVIBUDS centers around collaborative animation. Users can start from templates or go full freestyle with timeline-based editing. The real twist? You can join someone else’s animation at any point—add your own text, character, or objects and turn it into something new. It’s a remix culture for anime, with a unique “crash-in” twist.
What makes it accessible?
With no gender or style restrictions, up to 100 characters per user, and weekly updates of costumes, props, and backgrounds, VIVIBUDS is all about inclusive self-expression. It’s beginner-friendly, yet deep enough for experienced creators. And best of all—no ads. Just pure focus on creation and connection.
Where is it available?
VIVIBUDS launched on April 17, 2025, in 10 countries and regions including Japan, the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Thailand. The app is free to use with in-app purchases and supports both Japanese and English.
