Shortcat app US Launch
April 16, 2026
The home of animated romantasy is officially open in the US. Shortcat, the streaming app built for vertical anime, has launched stateside, and it is packed from day one.
Right now you can stream 40 exclusive series in English, with 100 set to be available by the end of the year. Every one is a Shortcat original adaptation of a proven comic or novel, brought to screen as vertical anime made for the way you actually watch on your phone.
What will you find inside? The genres readers love most: swoony Romance, epic Fantasy, and a growing shelf of BL. Think fierce heroines, demon kings, palace intrigue, and slow burn love stories you already adore, finally animated.
Here is what makes Shortcat different. Instead of waiting years for a studio to maybe option your favorite story, we acquire the adaptation rights to titles fans already love and animate them fast. The result is a library that keeps growing every month, owned by us and built for you.
Forty series today. One hundred by the end of the year. And a community that gets to decide what we make next. Download Shortcat, find your next obsession, and welcome in.
