What is a My 9 Animes grid?
A My 9 Animes grid is a 3×3 collage of the nine anime that made you who you are, usually posted as “9 anime that shaped me” or “9 anime that made me”. It is less a top-9 ranking than a snapshot of your taste: the show you watched after school, the seasonal hit you followed week by week, the film that got you into anime in the first place.
The search covers TV series, films, OVAs and specials, from decades-old classics to this season's shows. Titles are shown in English when there is an official English title, and in romaji when there isn't.

01What does “My 9 Animes” mean?
It is a social media trend where you share the nine anime that shaped you in one 3×3 image. You will also see it called “9 anime that made me” or “9 anime that define me”.
02Is this a 3x3 anime grid maker?
Yes. Search each anime and its cover drops into a 3x3 anime grid, so there is no template to fill in or image editor to open. Download the image or share the link when all nine are in.
03Can I add anime films and OVAs, not just TV series?
Yes. Search the film or OVA by its own title, for example “Your Name” or “Akira”, and it can take a tile like any series.
04Should I pick one season or the whole series?
Each season is a separate entry, each with its own cover. Pick the season that hit you hardest, or the first season to stand for the whole series.
05Why do some shows appear under their Japanese name?
When an anime has no official English title, it is listed under its romaji title. You can search in either language.
06Is it free, and where is my grid saved?
It is free and needs no account. Your grid is saved only in this browser, so you can close the tab and finish it later on the same device.
07Where do the anime covers come from?
Titles and cover art come from AniList, a community anime database. All trademarks and artwork belong to their respective owners.
