AniZen

AniZen is a solo-built anime and movie application for Android. While based on the Aniyomi/Anikku foundation, it has been redesigned from the UI to the network layer into something significantly beyond a fork — a full media platform with its own AI assistant, network infrastructure dashboard, behavioral analytics, and a custom extension ecosystem built specifically for BDIX servers.

Every feature was conceived, designed, and directed by one developer.
