KIKUGO - Learn Japanese from Anime & TV Subtitles

Turn Netflix into your Japanese class. Click any subtitle for an instant explanation, then save it as an Anki flashcard.

KIKUGO turns the Japanese Netflix you're already watching into sentence-mined Anki flashcards — without breaking the flow of the scene. You're watching a Japanese show. A line flies by too fast to catch. Today you'd have to pause, screenshot, switch tabs to a dictionary, and copy everything into Anki by hand — so most lines just slip away. KIKUGO removes every one of those steps. Sign up for a free 10 day trial (no credit card required) at kikugo.app ! CLICK A SUBTITLE, UNDERSTAND IT INSTANTLY • Click any Japanese subtitle — the video pauses automatically so you can read without rushing • Get a short English explanation, reading (furigana), and a per-word breakdown • One grammar note that explains exactly why the sentence is built that way • Difficulty estimate (JLPT-style) so you know if a line is worth drilling SAVE A REAL ANKI CARD IN ONE TAP • Reading, meaning, and grammar note are already filled in — nothing to type • Cards are built for spaced repetition, not just a screenshot dump • Export your whole deck to Anki whenever you're ready to review BUILT FOR IMMERSION LEARNERS, NOT BEGINNERS KIKUGO assumes you already know kana and basic grammar and are watching real Japanese content — anime, J-dramas, reality shows, films. It's a sentence-mining companion for active immersion, not a structured course. If you already use Anki, Yomitan, or Jisho, KIKUGO fits right into that workflow. WHY KIKUGO IS DIFFERENT FROM A SUBTITLE TRANSLATOR Most "Netflix Japanese" extensions dump a full English translation overlay that competes with the video the whole time. KIKUGO stays out of the way: nothing appears until you click, and it disappears the moment you're done — the show stays the focus, not the tool. GETTING STARTED 1.
