Otaku Dating

Zlobby (pronounced 'the lobby') is a dating app for anime and manga fans. You build a detailed profile, you match on favourite series and shared passions, then you talk. Closer to geek dating than to blind swiping.

Meet someone who watches the same anime

Explaining your love for a cult seinen or a never-ending shōnen to someone who has never opened a manga is exhausting. Zlobby flips that around: your series and genres come first. Anime, manga, light novels, animated films, your profile actually shows what you're into.

The result is interest-based matches instead of looks alone. You meet people you can already talk to for hours, and conversations last because they start with something real, not a flat 'hey'.

What you get on Zlobby

Features built for the otaku community, with no false promises: here is what actually exists today.

Match on series and genres

The algorithm connects profiles that share common anime, manga and genres, not just a photo.

Truly detailed profiles

Favourite series, genres, conventions, gaming handles: you show who you really are, beyond a two-line bio.

AI + human moderation

Photos and content go through AI moderation, backed by human review, for a healthier community.

Conversations that last

Private messaging, posts and comments: enough to argue over your favourite arc and get to know each other beyond the swipe.

From the convention floor to a first date

Whether you dream of queuing together for a panel or just sharing an anime marathon on a rainy Sunday, it starts with a real conversation. And if costumes are also your thing, take a look at cosplay dating, or more broadly at dating between gamers.

Frequently asked questions

Does matching really work on anime and manga?

Yes, based on the interests you declare: series, genres, games, cosplay. The more passions you share, the higher you appear in each other's suggestions. There's no database scanning your watch history, you fill in what you love.

Is Zlobby free?

Yes. Signing up and the core features are free. Optional subscriptions (Pro at €7.99/month, Legend at €19.99/month) add cosmetic perks and credits, without locking the essentials.

Do I need to be a hardcore otaku?

No. Whether you binge entire seasons or just follow two or three titles casually, what matters is shared taste. Manga, anime, games and cosplay all count just as much.

What is the minimum age?

18 and over. Zlobby is for adults only.
