Yodayo Review: Why It’s Driving Otakus INSANE 🤯

I was binge-watching the final season of Demon Slayer the other day and came across a scene that looked a little like this:

First impression?

Holy sh*t that drawing looks EPIC.

If you are a fan of the blog you must know that I am an absolute AI nerd and do nothing else but research AI tools and chatbots all day so I thought to myself;

Turns out, somebody did and it’s called Yodayo AI.

In fact, Yodayo is so much more than an AI art platform for fellow anime enthusiasts, it lets you create your own AI anime character and chat with it.

In this Yodayo review, I am going to brutally tear the app down and give you my unfiltered opinion. 

Who Created Yodayo AI?

Thia Min is the founder and creator of Yodayo AI.

Yodayo AI Is Made For…

If you belong to one of the three categories below, I am 100% sure you are going to love Yodayo AI!

I don’t need to ask you who Nezuko from Demon Slayer is. 

You are one of the 70.000 people who watched the finale on Times Square last year.

You are a HUGE fan of anime.

If I tell you you can bring your favorite anime characters to live with AI’s power, you are already on the phone asking your boss for extra vacation days. Heck you might even quit because you are a diehard anime fan.

Art Fans & Creators

AI art generators are here and it’s not going anywhere.

You can create fantastic art that would make Vincent van Gogh and Michelangelo pay you a visit from the afterlife.

You love to be at the forefront of this new tech and use it for your work or personal projects.

Secret Hentai Fantasizers 🤫

Look, I get it. Anime girls are cute. 

Period.

Just look at Asuna and tell me she ain’t cute.

I mean, who doesn’t want to date THAT? With Yodayo AI you can bring her to life. 

A spicier, sexier, adult-content-kind-of-life.

Yodayo AI Is Not Made For…

It isn’t all sunshine and rainbows though.

I believe that Yodayo isn’t for everyone so if you recognize yourself into one of the following categories, you better steer away from this. 🙁

Porn Addicts

Yes, you can create AI porn and other spicy NSFW images. But this can be a MEGA trigger for those of you who already have masturbation and porn problems.

Looking at sexy anime characters all day might not be the smartest move…

Boomers

I am not going to sugarcoat this – Yodayo requires some sort of technical skills.

Don’t worry, you won’t need a triple Ph.D. in prompt engineering but if you still use a Nokia 1101 and play Snake on it?!

This is too advanced for you…

Best Features of Yodayo AI

Still here?

That means you belong to one of the first three categories, congratulations. 🎉

Now I’ve been testing out Yodayo for over a month now.

The developers keep adding new features faster than I can write about them so for the sake of this article, I am just going to talk about the most important ones.

Kicking off with my favorite feature - the Explore section.

In simple terms, this is a gigantic library of anime characters. Every time a Yodayo user creates an anime character, it gets added to the library.

I am not kidding when I say that whenever I refresh my browser around 50 new characters get added.

Most of them are waifus but you’ll find one or two husbandos every now and then.

We can separate the AI anime characters into three categories.

• Top characters
• Hot characters
• NSFW characters

Top Characters 💯

If we click on the “New” button we get a nice dropdown menu that allows us to filter on the “Top” anime models.

These are the character cards that have the most likes by users.

I was expecting a bunch of cute girls but instead, I found cards like these:

They may seem like Chinese, but they are actually cards explaining how to create epic AI generated images.

More on that later…

Hot Characters 🥵

The second thing we can filter on is the Hot category.

This is where the real gold is.

There are dozens of super cute AI girls in all kinds of styles and Manpu (facial expressions).

The thing I like the most about the explore section is that you can actually check which prompts other people used to create their characters.

Any My Dress-up Darlin anime fans here??

I like the female protagonist, Marin Kitagawa since she looks super adorable.

Let’s say you want to grab some cute pics of her. You simply click on the search button type in her name, press search, and BAM!

An entire collection with hot pictures from Marin Kitagawa.

You think that's cool?

Then take a seat and pay close attention because this is going to blow your mind.

Select the picture you like the most. 

I really like this one. 👇🏼/👉🏻

Scroll down and click on “Try these settings”. You’ve now stolen ehh I mean borrowed the prompt the creator of this picture used.

Basically, you can generate your own AI pictures of Marin Kitagawa.

Super handy if you are shit at prompting (just like me). 

Here are some of the pictures I generated 4.52 seconds ago. 👇🏼

NSFW Characters  💦

It took me some time to find the NSFW characters.

Apparently, this setting is disabled by default and you’ll need to enable it. The developers have kind of hidden it.

1. Click on your profile 
2. Go to settings
3. Enable NSFW (18+)

There we go.

Now let’s go back to the Explore section…

As you can see, there are a bunch of extra characters which are blurred. You’ll find everything from, how do I say this politely?

Passionate lovemaking to super cute explicit selfies.

Remember Marin Kitagawa from earlier? Let’s take a look at her adult pictures.

Okay, so as I briefly hinted earlier - you can design your own perfect anime girlfriend.

And when I say “design” I really mean design. 

Top to bottom. 

The way it works is that you have a prompting field and a bunch of settings. 

The settings are easy peasy since you have a nice dropdown menu so you can’t really go wrong.

The prompting, however, is like juggling flaming chainsaws..

One wrong move (or word) and OEPSS, that cute AI waifu of yours will end up looking like Smeagol from Lord of the Rings. 😂

​Don’t worry though - I am going to explain the most simplistic method to creating your perfect AI waifu.

Creating your prompt

Starting with the most difficult part - the prompt.

You can go all berserk with different commands, the hierarchy between (brackets), and all the fancy stuff, but for beginners, I recommend keeping it simple.

What do you want your AI waifu to look like?

Make a short list of characteristics and separate them with a comma.

Here’s the prompt I’ll be using. 👇🏼

1girl, skirt, solo, halo, purple eyes, long hair, sweater, barefoot, breasts, sitting, looking at viewer, smile, black skirt, pleated skirt, very long hair, turtleneck, wariza, long sleeves, large breasts, white sweater, bangs, bare legs, blush, thighs, finger to mouth, parted lips, white hair, turtleneck sweater, miniskirt, mechanical halo, feet, toes

If you are feeling stuck creating your own prompt, you’ve got two options.

1. Ask uncle ChatGPT
2. Hit the dice

The first method is simple, just tell ChatGPT you are trying to create the perfect AI waifu and you want her to look like XYZ. Then ask ChatGPT to create a simple prompt.

You’ll be surprised about how good the AI is at creating AIs.

Anyway, the second method is even simpler than the first. In the top right corner of your prompt, you’ll see a dice. 🎲

Hit it, and the AI art platform will create a prompt for you.

Now tweak the prompt a bit to whatever crazy picture is painted in that brain of yours.

Pick the Right Model

Models are the type of anime art you will be creating. 

For example, if you choose the Popcorn model you’ll end up with a simple (but beautiful) 2D anime character.

Comparing that to the Toon You Mix (more cartoon-ish anime style) is like the difference between day and night.

I really like the Sketchbook model. 

Herman Carter

AI Dating Expert | Menprovement

It looks mega realistic and is something different than the usual art you see from other creators like vtubers and anime enthusiasts.

Something you can generate and brag about to your friends.

For now I want to go with Break Domain - the same model that can be used to replicate characters from Sword Art Online or Seven Deadly Sins.

Spell

next up, we need to set a spell. 

Spells give specific details of a character or style that you desire.

In other words, the AI uses spells as examples for the output.

Let’s say we want to recreate Asuna from sword art online. Type in Asuna in the search bar and select the style that you want to use as an example.

Remember the prompt I showed you in the beginning? Notice anything different?

Selecting a spell automatically edits your prompt. 👇🏼

You can even experiment with multiple spells but for now, I’ll just stick to one.

Negative Prompts (Advanced Settings)

The last option I wanted to talk about is the Negative prompts.

Sooo let’s say I don’t want Asuna to be wearing a hat and backpack.

I simply put in “hat, backpack” in the negative prompt section, and Voila.

Herman Carter

AI Dating Expert | Menprovement

Btw, there are a lot more options under the advanced tab - but these are the only ones you need to know to create awesome anime style images.

Let’s do a short recap.

The prompt I used:

1girl, skirt, solo, halo, purple eyes, long hair, sweater, barefoot, breasts, sitting, looking at the viewer, smile, black skirt, pleated skirt, very long hair, turtleneck, wariza, long sleeves, large breasts, white sweater, bangs, bare legs, blush, thighs, finger to mouth, parted lips, white hair, turtleneck sweater, miniskirt, mechanical halo, feet, toes, <lora:asunaYuukiSwordArt_v10:0.7>,

The Model and Spell I used:

Are you ready for the result??

Tadaaaaa 🎉

She looks spot-on, exactly how I wanted her to be.

When I entered "sitting, looking at the viewer" in my prompt I reaaaally had my doubts on whether the AI was able to pull it off or not.

I almost heard the AI say "No problemo." 😂

Herman Carter

Creating AI art is great and all, the only thing that disappoints me is that I am not able to talk to the characters.

Compare the tavern with a gigantic marketplace where all your favorite anime characters come together. 

There are a lot of categories. From Vtubers and education all the way to roleplay and even threesomes.

SFW Characters

Let me start by saying that there are hundreds - no, thousands of AI characters to pick from so I can’t cover everything in this section.

There were a few things that caught my eye though. 

First of all, the tavern is beautiful. Whenever you click on an AI companion it will go full screen and you’ll see a beautiful image of the character with a description.

I know this sounds stupid, but I think this is so much cooler than AI chatbots like Character AI and SpicyChat which just give you a boring dark background.

The girl from the anime art above is called Revi. She’s a badass bodyguard and smuggler for a sketchy company.

Let’s see what she has to say.

What the fuck are you looking at? Wanna get shot?

No thanks. I was just looking...

She replied like you would have expected from a badass smuggler. Tough as nails.

NSFW Characters

On the other side of the river we’ve got the NSFW characters and let me tell you, this is the Wild West.

I don’t care what kind of crazy, dirty roleplay scenario you have in your head - Yodayo probably has it.

There’s one that allows you to be the Last Guy In The World.

I don’t need to tell you what those women want from you…

If you feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to start I highly recommend Ava (your time traveler wife).

It lets you role play into a cool story where you get visited by your “wife” from the future who wants to get pregnant.

Herman J. Carter enters his room and takes the biggest scare of his life. There is an unknown woman in his room.

Movie Characters

Any Rent-a-Girlfriend anime fans here??

Yodayo has tons of anime characters (especially virtual anime girlfriends) from your favorite manga/series you can interact with, like Mami from Rent a Girlfriend.

But it's not just anime characters - after a quick 30-second browse session I found at least 5 replicas from popular series/movies.

Like Wednesday. 👇🏼

Games

The last thing that really stood out to me is the vast selection of games you can play in the Yodayo Tavern. For example, there is one called The Desire App. 

It’s a cool game that lets you create an online dating profile and lets you date fictional characters.

Basically Tinder but with 10x more matches and anime characters instead of real people.

Tips & Guides

I briefly touched on this at the beginning of this article when I talked about cards with tips and tricks. 

There’s actually an entire section with guides and tutorials on how to create anime characters.

Simply click on the guide icon in the top right and voila - dozens of prompts and tutorials how to build stuff.

I think this is a very underrated feature of Yodayo AI. 

I can not be the only one who is bad at prompting so for folks like us this is the holy grail of creating anime art.

Discord Channel

Yodayo AI isn’t very active on social media, they only have a discord channel but it’s more active than a group of toddlers in a candy store.

In the Discord community, you can

• Check announcements
• Join live events
• Recommend new features
• Share art

And so much more…

People are even sharing manga recommendations and cosplay pictures. 

It's safe to say that Yodayo AI is more then just an AI art platform for the average anime fan - it's an AI native social network for otakus worldwide. 🔥

Yodayo AI does not offer discreet billing and will show up as "Yodayo AI" in your bank statement. However, it's important to keep in mind that this is more of an AI art platform than an NSFW chatbot or AI girlfriend app. Therefore, we've decided to weigh the billing discreet score less for Yodayo AI.

So is Yodayo safe? Most likely, yes. But we're unsure if Yodayo AI monitors chats or not. In their privacy policy, they state that they may monitor the usage of their service. This could include chats but further investigation is needed to be sure. I recommend cautious.

Yodayo AI recently switched to a subscription based monitization strategy. Anime fans will have to subscribe to one of the following plans to use it's features.

If you are on one of the plans that still require YoBeans to create images then you can buy additional ones at the following prices:

• $5 550 YoBeans
• $10 1.300 YoBeans
• $20 3.000 YoBeans
• $50 8.000 YoBeans
• $100 17.000 YoBeans

Generating an image will only cost you 5 YoBeans, and using the Yodayo tavern is free - making Yodayo ai one of the most affordable AI companion platforms I’ve ever used.

Free YoBeans

If the cheap price point wasn’t enough, Yodayo enables users to earn free YoBeans a couple of ways.

• Joining as a new user (300 YoBeans)
• Daily Login (150 YoBeans)

Another way to earn free YoBeans is by winning challenges that are posted in the Discord Channel. Sometimes the developers give the winners a whopping 10.000 free YoBeans!

You can even generate images without using YoBeans but you’ll be put in the waiting line which can sometimes take hours…

What do Customers Say About Yodayo AI?

The customer reviews are glowing. I had a very, very, very hard time finding negative comments.

The comments that came closest to negative were the ones from users who are simply requesting additional features and improvements.

Yodayo AI Alternatives

You: I know, I know. Yodayo AI is great, but how do I actually know it is THAT great if I can not compare it against similar apps?

Me: Well, I am glad you asked because I’ve tried a couple of more AI platforms and there is one other that is worth your attention.

EHentai AI

eHentai AI is an anime adult chatbot specifically designed for… hentai.

You can craft your perfect AI anime character which you can talk to, roleplay, sext, and even exchange AI generated images and nudes with.

Unlike Yodayo, eHentai AI doesn’t need you to do any prompting while still having a very, very, very extensive customization feature.

But the best part of eHentai AI is the different types of facial expressions and personalities (dere) you can choose from. 

For example, in just a split second you can generate the same beautiful anime style images of your AI waifu expressing different emotions.

At The End Of The Day, Should You Buy Yodayo AI?

To put it short yes, you should absolutely buy Yodayo AI.

It's one of the best AI anime art generators WITH chatbot functionality I have ever tried.

The AI generated images are beautiful and the NSFW pictures are mouth watering to most anime enthusiasts. In the Discord Community, there are even pictures of people creating entire mangas with Yodayo AI.

Now that says something about the quality of this AI art platform!

And even if you don’t buy it - just log in every day and claim your free YoBeans.
