The anime fans amongst our readers are going to absolutely love this app! It enables you to overlay anime-style stickers on photos of you and your friends to miraculously transform them into cool, cute, and downright crazy anime characters within a mere matter of seconds!

I’ve been finding the interface in Anime Me to be a little laggy and generally temperamental from time to time, but this isn’t a bad app overall and some of the stickers are of a very high quality I think you guys are likely to have a lot of fun with this one.

That's So Kawai!

When you first start using this app you’ll be presented with the main menu screen whereby you can access the main Anime Me creator as well as the Help section which contains a detailed explanation of what the various features do and how to use them.

I would like to quickly mention that this is the free version of Anime Me so the amount of frames and stickers available are somewhat limited. If you want to upgrade to the full version this can be achieved by tapping the Upgrade button on the home screen and then picking which content you’d like to unlock.

As for the creator itself, all you have to do is tap the screen to either import a photo from your Photo Library or take a photo with your camera from directly within the app. From here you’ll be able to start applying your frames and stickers.

Share Your Cute New Look

I really like the way a tip is displayed each time you access a feature for the first time. This serves to compliment the Help section in a more real-time fashion as you need a quick reminder of how each feature works.

You need to start by selecting which area of your photo you’d like to use before hitting the Select button, which is when the fun really begins!

Tapping the heart icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen brings up a selection of stickers which include things like eyes, hair styles, items of clothing, and some very friendly-looking fruit.

Once you’ve got yourself looking positively kawai you can hit the green arrow in the top-right of the screen, apply a frame to your image, and share your image with friends and family online via Facebook and Twitter.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Final Words

Anime Me is definitely a fun little app that I would recommend.

It isn’t exactly perfect as some of the interface isn’t properly fitted to the screen orientation and some buttons seem to lag at times, but this is a good app overall so I would definitely suggest checking it out.
