Are there any features modern Anime AI lacks

The creator of an Anime AI assistant is seeking advice from developers and founders on what features a modernized Anime AI should have and how to implement them, noting that current big platforms like Character.AI dominate the space.

Background

The poster is building an "Anime AI assistant" — a chatbot styled as an anime character, similar to those on Character.AI (a popular platform where users chat with AI personas). They feel their product is incomplete and are asking the Hacker News community (an online forum frequented by tech founders and developers) for feature ideas and implementation advice. Their use of "otaku AI" refers to otaku (アニメ・漫画などの熱狂的なファン), a Japanese term for hardcore anime/manga fans. The question reflects a common pattern: indie developers competing against well-funded platforms seek practical engineering and product feedback from experienced peers.
