Description
Migaku Development Cycles
Migaku develops add-ons in 6-month development cycles. For the duration of a development cycle, add-ons are designed for the latest stable version of Anki that was available at the beginning of that cycle. At the end of a development cycle, all Migaku add-ons are upgraded to the latest stable version of Anki. Please note that development of the new updated versions of the add-ons begins at the end of the current cycle, once all Add-ons have been updated the new cycle then begins.
Why Migaku uses a Development Cycle:
● By not needing to constantly update add-ons each time a new version of Anki is released, we’re better able to stay focused on new projects.
● When everyone is using the same version of Anki and the same version of the add-ons, bug fixing can proceed more efficiently.
● Because users only have to update their set-up once every 6 months, they can more easily stay focused on their studies.
● We surveyed our users and found that the vast majority approved of a 6-month development cycle.
Current Cycle Details:
Anki Version: Anki 2.1.22 (Windows and Linux), Anki 2.1.23 (macOS) [The “alternate” variants are for 32-bit systems]
Start Date: April 6th, 2020
Development on New Add-on Versions Begins: October 6th, 2020
Development has started and the Migaku Add-on Series is in the process of being updated to Anki 2.1.35! Make sure you're subscribed to my YouTube channel, as I will announce the update releases there, along with any updating instructions.
Version Info - Please Read!
The Anki 2.1.14 - 2.1.16 version of the add-on has been left here so that people on older versions of Anki may continue to use it. However we do not offer support for that version of the add-on and it does not offer all of the features, improvements, and fixes in the Anki 2.1.22 version.
###Linux Users###
Unfortunately Linux is not officially supported and the add-on may not work properly under all environments. Community fixes may be available however, so please reference the GitHub repository below.
About the Add-on
The Migaku Japanese add-on provides a variety of features for improving the ease and efficiency of Japanese study, some of the most notable being automatic generation of native audio, kanji readings, and pitch accent information, as well as automatic pitch accent coloring. It's extremely flexible and customizable, but also comes ready to use out of the box. The add-on largely works through JavaScript, which allows all of the core features to function on every platform, including AnkiWeb, Anki Mobile, and AnkiDroid.
Migaku Japanese does not conflict with the Japanese Support add-on and is fully compatible with MorphMan. Please make sure you're using the newest version of Anki 2.1 before installing.
Usage Guide
A user's guide is coming soon!
Audio
Some of the add-on's features rely on a set of audio files which must be downloaded separately from the add-on. Please download these audio files from the link below and place the "accentAudio" folder within the "user_files" folder inside of Migaku Japanese's add-on folder. See the usage guide liked above for more detailed instructions.
***MAC USERS*** Please use this software to unzip the "accentAudio" folder in order to avoid encoding issues and unplayable audio files.
Download the audio here.
Note that Mediafire may have ads or pop-ups that link to other irrelevant downloads. The file you want is called "accentAudio.zip". Clicking the green download button should allow you to download it. Please close any irrelevant pop-ups and don't open any file with an incorrect name.

I really think it's convenient. Especially when paired with subs2srs.

awesome work! I support your honesty!

I really like this add on and it helps a lot, thank you for your hard work! I have a long list of exceptions though but all works quite well. I know a lot has been going on but will there be an update soon for newer Anki version? Because I have another important add on that already requires Anki >= 2.1.28. So I decided not to upgrade Anki unless there is a newer Migaki version. Keep up the good work!
Edit: ok, I should read everything before making comments :) can't wait for the update, thank you!

The update to 2.1.35 is already being tested by the Migaku Patreon community, after we test it for a couple to a few weeks and work out all the bugs it will be released here on AnkiWeb!

Great addon! I'm still on the old MIA Japanese as I managed to make it work with latest Anki through just a small code change.
I wanted to leave a review on the official plugin though as I think this has been really well done!

I've been using this plugin since before the escapade! Your tools have provided me with a better foundation than any other outlet I've attempted before. So, I switched over to Migaku from the old M.I.A one. However, I can't seem to get the readings and words hover-enabled. I think there's something missing or I missed a step somewhere. I hope the users guide comes out again soon! Thanks Yoga

Love the addon, thanks for all your hard work. I've been using this addon for several months now, but all of a sudden it recently stopped working. I no longer see the furigana or pitch accents on my cards. The syntax is there, but the syntax is what gets displayed upon reviewing the card instead of the furigana and pitch accents.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both anki and the addon. I made sure i'm using the correct version of anki. Any other suggestions? It's sooo hard to study with all the syntax in the way so i'm stuck right now.
10/6/20 Edit: Thanks for the quick reply (and apologize for the dumb question)! I now have a better understanding of how the Active Fields settings relates to the card structure. I just became a patreon member of yours and i hope others do too so we can support your work.

The pop up is really annoying. It is bigger than my screen so I cannot click on the checkbox to make it not reappear. At least put the checkbox on top or make the pop up window resizable

Yeah, I realize this problem now! My bad, the intent was that everyone could disable the popup after a single time. I will push a fix soon.

Trying to reach out to your supporters with the spam video, isn't a good way to reach out to your supporters. They will come without this. NO EXCUSE TO SPAM BS PERSONAL DISPUTE. You're mostly doing this to try and hurt Matt and try and make you look good, bunch of toxic ego bs. Makes you look terrible dude. The reason why you get so many dislikes on your youtube videos and on the comments here is because your approach to what happen between you and Matt is objectively incredibly immature and unprofessional. A simple video saying you had disagreements and letting people come to your content in time is the way to go about it like a MAN. Your content is excellent. Relax. Remove this nonsense spam video and move on dude. Be a man and do what is wise and just. Remove this crap. For the respect of the community that you've attracted.
Comment from author
The mature thing would have been for Matt vs. Japan not to threaten me, steal from me and try to bully me, and to just accept mediation one of the many times I suggested it. I am the developer of the add-ons, they are my main way to reach out to my supporters about what's happening in my life. My supporters are the reason the add-ons even exist and they've made it very clear that they were happy I shared what had been going on with them. Also anything I have done, pails in comparison with Matt vs. Japan's bullying, threats, and theft. Feel free to uninstall the add-on my friend, I will use my platform to stand up for principles I believe in time and time again.
Also, there is a checkbox at the bottom of the box to disable the popup...

Overall a very useful add-on. Basically an upgrade to the old Japanese support add-on.
Would be better without internet drama, but at least there's a somewhat functioning ignore button.

One of the best addons out there, but I don't agree with how all of this was handeled. Seeing a popup showing a YouTube video is a thing a expected. Would had liked it if you'd kept the drama between you and Matt.

Comment from author
It shouldn´t if you are on Anki version 2.1.22 - 23. The older version hasn't and likely won't be updated though.
on
Thumbs down because I opened Anki for some studying and was force-fed some video that I don't care about. This isn't what updates are for. I can't trust any future updates from this add-on, you've ruined my trust in this product and your "new" brand.
Like another user said, this can't be considered trusted FOSS anymore if users are dragged into a battle that needs to be fought out by lawyers.

You clearly don't understand how FOSS works.
1) Don't update your addons just to spam your users.
2) You cannot modify the GPL license the way you did, otherwise this isn't GPL anymore.
3) Anyone who still has a copy of the original MIA team addon before this update is still licensed under the GPL and can fork the project without worrying about these new restrictions you've added.
4) Your addons seems to be copies of other anki addon developer's codes/ideas. As such, you are not the original copyright holder and do not have the permission to change the copyright license.

Update: is the purpose of the latest update to just create a popup with a disparaging video? Pretty lame.

The hotkeys no longer work with the migaku update... what's the point in making things less streamlined and efficient? The hotkeys were such a useful feature, now they're gone for literally no reason. nice.

It looks great on desktop. But unlike what is stated, when sync with Anki Mobile, it is as if all the JS behind each card is lost... Maybe I am doing something wrong ?

Go into the settings in Anki on desktop and check off to do a full sync next time, then choose "Upload" when given the choice.

Fantastic add on! I wish I had found it earlier. I'm having a minor issue though. When I try to batch generate audio, it copies the word before the audio files. For example, Origin field has "生憎", I generate only audio and in the destination field I get "生憎 [sound:あいにく.yomi00132EB_03D6.mp3]" . When I try to do that with the 語 button (set to generate audio only) it has the expected behaviour adding only the audio part (but of course I want to avoid doing it manually with all my notes). It doesn't really detract from the usability, but it adds some unnecessary info to my already cluttered cards.

Cool Addon Matt.

Works for colouring and poping up furigana, howeover can't make audio part of the plugin to work for some reason. After marking some word and pressing proper button in shows the name of the audio file in the "back audio" line howeover no audio can't be hard. Perhaps because audio files don't have japanese fonts (imported japanese language in windows settings, no change) but audio file names visible in Anki have one.
on
Keep up the great work!
on
Been using this add-on for around 6 months Really helpful in adding furigana and audio when dealing with Japanese text. Haven't encountered any bugs either. The only slightly troublesome part is adding custom furigana to the readings it occasionally gets wrong.

Very useful and time-saving addon. I would consider it essential, even. However, the automatic audio feature creates the audio file, but there is no sound when I click on it. Also, why do I get an annoying windows sound whenever I try to record myself?
on
Sorry, I don't want to give you a negative, but maybe you can help and I'll be happy to change. I am working on an Apple, I have a 64-bit processor, I have Anki 2.1.30 installed, and I cannot get your add-on to install. Am I reading something wrong? I admit I am not very computer savvy, but this is my main issue with Anki, all these people claim it does wonders for their language learning, but for people like me, we either spend an inordinate amount of time just trying to get set up, or we just give up because it is too frustrating. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. I sometimes think part of the problem is trying to learn Anki, plus the complexity of trying to do that with Japanese. Maybe learning Anki with an alphabet-based language first would be better?

Awesome add on, like it a lot more than just the basic japanese support one
on
I've now tried several of the supported versions of Anki listed on this page but I still can't get the pitch accent pop-ups to work properly. Some parts of the add-on are functional, like the kanji-hiragana conversions, and the manual tools for editing cards and creating cards with the add-on are at least available, but none of the cards that I try to add pitch accent markers to end up showing any pop-ups. I've searched through the troubleshooting and Q&A sections of the MIA Discord channel, but I can't really even find anyone who is having the same problem. I don't actually want to rate down because it's a great tool, and I'm sure it works great normally, but I don't really know where else to go to get help.

A must have for anyone learning japanese. And the functionality to process card in bulk is amazing !

Does what it says on the can

very convenient

The additional content you can generate with this is almost overwhelming ! It's great. I took some time to pick and choose what I wanted to show on my own cards as I prefer a focused approach. This is really awesome, it's going to be able to replace the Japanese Support add-on for me, most probably ! As someone who does already research pitch readings & audio when creating cards, this saves so much time. (Note to people reading this before downloading: you do have to spent some time initially to set everything up how you'd like) For the few times when the generated reading isn't the right one, I recommend using OJAD to check pitch accent and download a sample audio of the word or sentence, to get an idea of pitch (with their Suzuki-kun feature).
I've encountered a bug with some Kifuku pattern words, I'll leave a message on Github.
Thank you so much for such a useful resource !

Got it working. Took me a while as I had an older version of Anki. Definitely go with Version 2.1.23 (Mac) and follow the steps on their guide exactly (especially regarding the audio). Super useful add on and worth it just for the furigana on hover. Wish the Japanese add on had that. Can't believe their plug-ins are free.

Really clear and robust. Definitely an essential add-on for those who really want to get it right.

please can you update it to version 2.1.26 :(

This addon makes creating cards much more easier, and can be adapted to create readings for existing decks too! Highly recommended!

Solution to 'Can't load media properly' prompt and being unable to log into Anki:
1. Open Anki holding Shift
2. Log in and log out on all your profiles (switch profile)
3. Close Anki, open without holding Shift

This issue suggests one of your profiles is either malformed or uninitialized, please ensure every profile you have been at least started once. If they have been then the issue is likely with some form of corruption with one of your profiles. I suggest starting a new profile, and exporting the old profile and then importing it into the new profile, you can there after delete the previous profile. This should fix your issue.

Followed every step carefully, but ends up messing up my Anki because it couldn't read the collection or something, can't even open up a profile without turning off addons and sync. Spent 3 hours of my day trying to make it work, and to no avail.`
Edit: tried again on my desktop, which has the same addons and account attached to it, and it worked instantly, go figure.

Works fine!
But is there a chance that the add-on creates "more precise" furigana. E.g. instead of 辞書[じしょ] it should create 辞[じ]書[しょ]. I know that requires a lot of programming but is it somehow possible to activate (if already included) this or implement it?
And another problem I stumbled upon is, that it sometimes regenerates wrong furigana and therefor wrong audio files. E.g. 明後日 becomes みょうごにち instead of あさって. Is there a way to change this quickly?

The first suggestion is impossible. The second is already possible, read the "Generating Readings, Pitch Accent, and Audio" section of the guide. https://massimmersionapproach.com/table-of-contents/anki/mia-japanese-addon/ I would also recommend learning to use the overwrite rule system which will handle common furigana errors you come across for you automatically if you register an overwrite rule for that given word.

Great addon, had a bit of trouble with it at the start but it works wonders. Highly recommend

You guys are changing the Japanese learning game to an unbelievable extent, fantastic work.

This add-on is essential for getting to a higher level of Japanese. The time and effort that went into putting this add-on together is immensely evident. I cannot believe they allow this kind of content to be free and available for all learners to use. Thank you, MIA!

The add-on is freely available on AnkiWeb, it can be downloaded by anyone for free. The $5 tier on Patreon is designed for people who want to help point out issues and bugs, support the improvement and maintenance of existing tools, and more importantly the development of new ones. It is not meant to be and is not written as a guarantee of personal support. We have invested substantial time in writing extensive guides that are freely available for all our public add-ons. If you are having issues I suggest you reference the guide, it has everything you need to know written within it, with helpful gifs illustrating the functionality. Remember that most add-ons here on AnkiWeb, don't have such guides, so the good will we have towards people using our tools should be pretty apparent. Best of luck!

Please read the description:
"MIA Team Development Cycles
The MIA team develops add-ons in 6-month development cycles. For the duration of a development cycle, we design add-ons for the latest stable version of Anki that was available at the beginning of that cycle. At the end of a development cycle, all MIA add-ons are upgraded to the latest stable version of Anki.
Why We Use a Development Cycle:
● By not needing to constantly update add-ons each time a new version of Anki is released, we’re better able to stay focused on new projects.
● When everyone is using the same version of Anki and the same version of add-ons, bug fixing can proceed more efficiently.
● Because users only have to update their set-up once every 6 months, they can more easily stay focused on their studies.
● We surveyed our users and found that the vast majority approved of a 6-month development cycle.
Current Cycle Details:
Anki Version: Anki 2.1.22 (Windows and Linux), Anki 2.1.23 (macOS) [The “alternate” variants are for 32-bit systems]
Start Date: April 6th, 2020
Next Cycle Start Date: October 6th, 2020"

A must for any Japanese Learner, this add-on really adds an awesome spice to your cards. Besides just generating the readings and pitch accent coloring, it also generates native pronunciations and pitch accent graphics. Isn't that all one could ask for? Thanks, Yoga and Matt.

This is gonna save me so much time.
Thanks!!

Great

Auto highlighting pitch accent is really useful
on
was previously confused i had the non-stable anki version
on
Great add on, especially if you're in the beginner stages. Although, the cards have recently said that the front of the card is blank on desktop Anki. Works fine in browser or on Ankiweb. Any way to resolve this?
on
Really useful addon ! It's great that I can avoid spending a lot of time manually researching and adding pitch accent informations to my decks. However, is there a way to change the audio played on click ? For example, for the word 公 I want it to play the kunyomi reading おおやけ but it plays the onyomi reading こう. I know the audio file is there since when I add it to the audio field I get both audios.
on
Awesome add-on!!!!
on
Amazing add on, I was just curious when it would be updated to work with the latest version of anki as I am having some trouble updating it right now. I think this was patched in 2.1.24 when they "Fixed add-ons with multiple branches not updating properly" but I am not sure. I had the same question about the Dictionary add on. (edit) I just read your info about development cycles my bad. Keep up the great work!

Amazing add on !
I was wondering if anyone knows a similar one for Mandarin (without pinyin would be better). Thank you mates

I originally had this as a down vote (operator error) because I was unable to download the MIA add-ons (not through fault of MIA but of Anki itself from not being able to update Anki through Anki itself but appear that it is up to date) YOGA_MIA was a great help and took the time to help this non tech savy noob figure things out so i can enjoy MIA's very helpful and awesome add-ons. It goes to show MIA care about what they do and want to help everyone out by making learning Japanese less painful. Thanks you guys!

Amazing add-on. Also, to all the people writing negative reviews, I highly suggest you review your own position before attempting to attack the creators. Most of the negative reviews I have seen are rooted in a fundamental misunderstanding of what the purpose of this add-on is, what it is and isn't, the context it is supposed to be used in, and the intentions of the creator in asking for voluntary donations. Keep up the great work, you two are revolutionizing the language acquisition community!

Fantastic add-on!! I particularly like the option to customise the add-on's behaviour for different note types and the options to generate (AND remove) readings in bulk.
Here's just a some hints for small fixes:
The add-on does not work on note types where the CSS is an imported file (i.e., where the CSS part looks like this: @import url("styling.css"). I circumvented this issue by pasting the MIA CSS code into my CSS file.
The add-on does not seem to work perfectly with MorphMan. I had issues with one of my note types until I figured out that you can't put "morphfocus:" (if I recall correctly, that's what you use for MorphMan) in front of your fields. It will cause MIA not to function properly.
Thanks a lot!

The reason I like MIA Japanese is easy, just click on button. Japanese support has require some of customs in note type, which not easy for my own already note type. However, when I did as you do in the image intruction, it's give me exactly like this 健[すこ;n2]やか に 育[そだ,そだてる;k3]てる in learning screen (edit screen of course), no furigana on top, no corloring. It's doesn't work, why?

Haters gonna hate yo. The undo feature actually isn't yet fixed in the current release admittedly, but is fixed already already for an upcoming release. However, there was a bug introduced into Anki itself by the 1.1.18+ versions that needs to be resolved on their end (we are in talks with the dev to get him to push fixes to it) before we can release the new version.

Its a great addon for those on the Japanese language journey. It makes lookup faster and more efficient. This might sound ironic or contrary but if there is a tool that allows me to spend less time in Anki while still helping me memo then I'm all for it. Thanks.

What a powerfull addon. The ability to create any type of card in mere seconds or search terms with a keyboard shortcut is game changing.

You can't avoid this add-on if you are learning Japanese.
It's already great with the default configuration, but I spent a little time setting it as I'd like, and it's now perfect for me.
Some little remarks that does not really harm the usage of this add-on :
The tokenization could be enhanced a little.
The ctrl-Z feature sometimes acts weirdly and should be fixed.

I'm the guy who resurrected the old NHK accent addon for Anki: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/932119536
You can see my comment from 2018 on that addon linking to my repository (https://github.com/weirdalsuperfan/nhk-pronunciation/tree/patch-1), and you can also check the issues section on github for the main branch of the addon to see that I'm an official collaborator. You'll notice that in both my branch's readme and in one of the open issues for the main branch I've added a note linking to this MIA addon and mentioning that support for the old NHK addon has essentially ended because of the superior MIA Japanese addon.
When I found out about this addon I stopped support for the old NHK addon, and since then this addon, especially when combined with the MIA Dictionary addon, has really lived up to my expectations, so I just want to say that if you ever used or heard of the old addon, use this one instead. It's great (and free). I was really happy to see someone put so much effort into something like this to perfect it so I could stop maintaining the old addon and focus on learning Japanese.

Pitch accents are incredibly helpful :)
However I would like to request a display option of coloured kanji and hovered furigana, as it would be nice to have pitch accent info at a glance but still be able to test myself on the readings of each kanji.
It would also be great if the furigana can be intelligently spaced out to cover the whole kanji phrase. Sometimes where the kanji phrase is long but the reading is short, there is a small clump of furigana floating in the middle, which looks a bit funny.
Another helpful feature would be to allow the pitch accent graph to be directly displayed in a field without having to hover.

This and the MIA dictionary add-on are easily the best add-ons ever created for Japanese learning. Thank you guys for this
on
This is a game-changing add-on. Not only for the features, but also the incredible attention to detail and vast configurability. I only have a couple pieces of feedback:
1. One thing I really liked about the OG Japanese Support add-on, is that when you're manually adding cards, it will auto-add the furigana brackets, without having to hit an additional hotkey. I know Japanese Support uses two fields and MIA uses one, but the same auto-generation feature could work here (as an optional setting). As someone who creates a lot of cards manually, if I could not have to think about hitting an extra step every time that would be killer.
2. Would be nice to have the mass generation feature remember your settings for the last time you used it. Since this is a large, destructive operation it's additional stress trying to make sure all of the settings are right, especially if you need to use it frequently (say, every time adding a new subs2srs deck).

This is the best Japanese support addon out there. The pitch accent color coding is amazing. MIA is doing so much for the language learning community, especially Japanese. IMO, this is way better than the old non-MIA Japanese support addon. It served me well for many years, but here comes the new king. It's off my computer forever, this has replaced it. Highly recommended.
on
A useful addition to the SRS. It seems a few people didn't read the name of it though, I'd like to point out the fact that it's the 'MIA' Japanese Add-on, so you should probably read through what 'MIA' is and what this add-ons specific use is.
on
Makes learning japanese, and pitch accent of words effortless.
on
One issue and it would be absolutely perfect: The furigana generation inserts redundant spaces. (All I want/have enabled is "Kana".)
Fixed by
1. extending the check in checkIgnoreValue by checking if any char in val[0] actually contains any kanji (19967 < ord(char) < 40911)
2. removing all (why're they there anyway) superfluous final ' ' that were appended on the self.fStr += lines
Errors: The generator doesn't remove leading kana (eg., it generates お金[おかね] instead of お 金[かな]). 来る's furigana always stay く, ie. don't match its irregular conjugation. 一日[いちにち] 中[ちゅう] is mistaken. 五百 (presumably other numbers) shouldn't yield obscure readings by default. "…０ 分間[ぶんけん]"
Amazing work, anyway!

Hello! Thanks for your feedback, are you aware of the overwrite rules feature in the add-on? Reference the guide if you haven't heard of it before! Using it you can add in fixes to any mistakes you see. We plan to ask users to submit their overwrite rules lists in the future, so that we may add them in natively to the code base and raise the quality of the generation! Thanks for your positive review, we're glad you like the add-on!

Still some rough edges and I stll need to manually correct some stuff.

Effectively just the Japanese Support addon with a few extra nifty features (i.e. a faster pitch accent lookup), nothing major, but still useful nonetheless.

I tried to use this add-on in an attempt to quickly add furigana to single words in my definitions, selecting and clicking in "convert," but as expected, it converts everything inside the field. So I simply clicked ctrl+z to undo the changes, uninstall the add-on and continue with my quest, but then the field went completely blank. So, it seems like this add-on will cause you actual harm if you innocently try to test it, so don't (You should read the heavy, long guide page entirely before even thinking about doing it. There doesn't seem to have anything about the undoing erasing everything there, though).
Initially, the add-on is very nice and stable in appearance, but then the settings window will close up every time you click on the upper part of it, the buttons on the card editor have no subtitles (Even though the original Anki buttons do), leaving you in the dark if you decided not to spend the last 15 minutes reading the guide; you can't quickly enable/disable a single part of it and have to keep opening and enabling/disabling stuff to get different outcomes; and everything is so information packed that you either use it as it is or waste hours trying to understand how everything works and tweak to your preferences (Well, it may erase some fields in the process, but you truly need this, don't ya?).
If I had to say, overall, it seems like a time and life-saver, but what it actually does is turn Anki into a substitute to the so-called immersion the creators so dutifully preach about. Honestly, you don't need half of these features if you're not doing something like Incremental Reading, and if you are, then this add-on will work perfectly for you (Unfortunately, the same can't be said about your Japanese). And even then, you'd have to do ONLY that all the time, reviewing cards in Anki instead of consuming Japanese material and immerse yourself in the language, so the audio everywhere, for instance, would then be somehow useful.
The furigana adding feature is the same as the Japanese Support add-on (the brackets (that break pitch information like [2][1] - I'm not sure if that happens in MIA as well, try it for your own risk)); the audio, colors and pitch everywhere goes straight against the minimum information principle (Which unlike pitch, isn't a joke), and the whole add-on seems so pointless, a Frankenstein monster of other add-ons and ideas, that one has to wonder what people were thinking when they asked for it and/or made it.
The fact is, Japanese Support does a great job for furigana, Yomichan and company (Mainly Daijirin dictionary and Japanesepod101) are enough for pitch information and audio, and the whole rest is a party trick that no beginner should pursue (And no advanced speaker would bother with, specially while using this add-on).
tl;dr: No matter how you look at it, a waste of time. I don't hate MIA, I'm just mad and these are my 2 cents.

Notice how, of all the people making great add-ons, they're the only ones pushing social media and trying to get you to pay them? The author will reply defensively, but it's true. Although it's nice, shamelessly trying to sell products is out of place on a repository for add-ons for open source free software intended to be 100% free, not free-with-some-strings-attached-and-please-subscribe-to-my-paypal-for-further-updates.

Super exceptional work!

If you have the Japanese Support add-on this isn't particularly necessary, and falls into the trap of "optimizing just to optimize". Since SRS usage is really just supposed to be the glue that holds your immersion in Japanese together, having audio for every single sentence isn't really a big deal as you'll regularly hear it all anyway. The pitch accent information also isn't a big deal, because the definitions on your cards will already have that information in a lot of cases depending on what dictionaries you use. This add-on might save you a few minutes here and there, but the most import functionality is already included in the Japanese Support add-on. It might save you a little time if you like fancy cards.
Also I have to downvote this out of principle, as this page has been blindly spammed with positive reviews from the author's Patreon followers (he announced the release to them all in a private Discard chat).

Really sorry to hear you didn't like the addon. We did not ask anyone to blindly spam the addon with positive reviews - the public saw the addon release on Ankiweb at the same time that our Discord/Patreon did. Aside from that, you are correct that this addon is similar to the original Japanese Support addon, but the reason to dislike the addon is not clear, since the addon is is free and does not have any negative features based on your own review (the optimizations are arguably minor, but they are still optimizations, not detriments).

on
This is clearly a very powerful addon that a lot of people can benefit from. If there's a known fix for compatibility with Japanese Example sentences, someone let me know! As is, JS in the cards prevents those example sentences from generating. Can't use right now because of those breaks, but hopefully I can use it in the future since I really do love the hover feature... Good work on it.

This addon is insanely effective!

***BEWARE*** Spy-ware and Ad-ware and WEB site redirects when following instructions.
When you try and download the audio files, you a) get redirected to gambling WEB sites and b) an additional download called "PlayerSetup.dmg" is downloaded. No idea what is in it, but various goog's indicate spy-ware and ad-ware.
Still too early to evaluate the rest of it.

I am sorry that you had an issue with downloading the file. You must have clicked an ad and downloaded some bad software. Kind of unfair to rate down the add-on based on your own mistake but I can understand your perspective and that some people aren't familiar with downloading files. I hope you get your issue fixed and get a chance to check out the actual add-on.

You can create incredible Japanese flash cards with this.

Works great!
The only problem I see is that the readings/pitch in the brackets interfere with the browser search.
In one of Matt's videos, he mentions the ability to add "nobr" to your search query to get around this (https://youtu.be/2gJfmmMnO1k?t=839), but it doesn't seem to work in the released version.

This is new cutting edge technology that can save years off your Japanese learning journey. Not only that, its free, which is a great price. I've learned so much with this add-on alone that it even helped me get a weeb girlfriend. Now that I've finally accomplished something, I feel as though I can face my family and so they won't wonder why I'm always MIA at the family gatherings. Thanks Matt and that other guy, I'm forever grateful.

Very useful!

Fantastic add-on for learning Japanese. There's so much functionality in it, especially for pitch accent.
on
Incredible. A lot of thought and hard work has clearly gone into this. This will make my Japanese studying far more effective and efficient. Thanks much!
on
Fantastic work, guys!

Works well, saves a lot of time, very useful to have readings and pitch accent info added to cards.
on
This has made studying with Anki much more efficient.
on
WOW this addon is so cool! I feel my pitch accent improving already!
