The anime industry portfolio service Anilink launched in pre-release on August 10, 2026.

Industry members can edit their own pages and set work consultation availability.
Anilink, a portfolio service for the anime industry, opened in pre-release on August 10. The service was conceived by art director Mika Nishimura, who has worked in background art for over 20 years, and is developed and operated by BAFF GAKARI LLC.
The platform automatically generates pages for creators and staff based on credit information from staff rolls. At pre-release, it holds more than 25,000 works, 260,000 episodes, 8.9 million credits, 350,000 people, and 6,600 studios. An algorithm distinguishes people with the same name, and the basis for that matching is published on each creator's page.
Industry members who complete identity registration can edit their pages, including name readings, English notation, biography, career history, desired positions, and whether they accept work consultations. They can set availability for project-based and monthly work, as well as one-off jobs, separately. Corrections, hiding individual works, and hiding entire pages are supported.
Future plans include an artwork feature to display original drawings and background art on personal pages with rights holder permission, plus notifications for broadcast and distribution of participating works, and manual registration of work not listed in credits.
