What is Anime Mania
Anime Mania is a game in Roblox created by Anime Legends Studio.
In Anime Mania, you play as popular characters from different anime shows fighting against waves of enemies.
The game consists of different stories that contain levels, all of which is a series of waves of enemies and a boss at the end.
Anime Mania combines the tower defense genre with active fighting games, effectively making you a moving defending tower.
You get to test your skills and the abilities of your favorite anime characters in Anime Mania.
How to play
To play in Anime Mania, you first need to have at least one character to play.
You can get characters in Anime Mania by clicking the ‘Roll’ button in the button left corner.
Under the gems roll, which is the rainbow one, click ‘Roll’ or ‘Roll x10’.
This will give you one or ten random characters from the pool of characters you can see on the roll menu.
The selection of characters you can roll changes every hour.
After rolling one or more characters, click ‘Make Team’ on the right side of the screen.
This will open up the character window where you can see all your characters.
Click ‘View’ under the character you wish to add to your team, and then click ‘Equip’ on the right side inside that character’s page.
Choose either Equip Slot 1, 2, or 3, and the selected character will be added to that slot.
You now have a character on your team and are ready to play Anime Mania.
You can add up to three different characters to your team at once.
To start a game in Anime Mania, click the ‘Play’ button in the bottom left corner, and choose a story on the left side of the play window.
In the middle of the play window, you can see the currently selected level.
Once you complete a level, you unlock the next one, which can then be accessed by clicking the ‘Next’ button.
If you have just started playing the game, you cannot see the Next button as you have yet to unlock the next level.
Press ‘Create Room’, and a public room for that level will be created.
Up to three other players can join the room.
If you want to play with your friends, you can type in a code under ‘Code’ before you create the room, and players will have to type in that code to join the room.
If you just want to play yourself, then just press ‘BEGIN’ once you have created a room for a level.
The level will now begin, and you will get to choose between the characters on your team to play in that level.
You can change your character in the level after a couple of waves.
Inside the level, you have to fight off enemies using your character’s normal attacks, which are used with the left click on your mouse, as well as the abilities of your character, which are used with the number keys on your keyboard.
You can combine some attacks with jumping by pressing space at the same time, which will make it an ariel attack.
That’s the basics of how to play Anime Mania!
How to equip/use a character
When you first start playing Anime Mania, you’ll notice that your character is just a default model.
Before you can become a character, you need to equip it.
If you don’t have any characters yet, click the ‘Roll’ button and roll for one.
To equip/use a character in Anime Mania, click the ‘Make Team’ button on the right side, select a character from your characters list by clicking ‘View’, click ‘Equip’ on the right side on the character’s page, and then select a slot on your team.
In the lobby of the game, your character will be the one that you have equipped in the first character slot of your team.
In levels, you can choose between the three characters in your team and switch throughout the level between certain waves.

The higher the rarity of a character, the smaller the chance to roll it.
Here are the rates of rolling characters of the different rarities:
- Common characters (Grey) = 70%
- Uncommon characters (Green) = 13%
- Rare characters (Blue) = 6%
- Legendary characters (Red/Rainbow) = 1%
Every time you do an x1 roll, you get one pity count point, and every time you do an x10 roll, you get 10 pity count points.
When you have gathered 45 pity count points, the next roll you do is guaranteed to give a legendary character.
Therefore, if you have 45 pity count points, we recommend you wait till the legendary character currently in the pool is one that you want to use.

Therefore, we recommend you aim to get and upgrade the best characters in the game.
Redeem codes for gems and gold
Gems and gold are the two currencies of Anime Mania.
You need gems to roll for regular characters that you can use in battle.
You need gold to roll for fodder characters that you can use to upgrade your regular characters.
One of the easiest ways to get gems and gold in Anime Mania is by redeeming all the currently active codes.

There are usually a bunch of codes to redeem, which will net you a hefty amount of both gems and gold.
