Pros
- Learners already watching or reading Japanese
- People who want cards from their own media
- Intermediate students leaving beginner decks
Cons
- You still need a beginner course
- You will not maintain a mining workflow
- Anki with a small manual deck already works
Migaku is a paid toolkit for learning from Japanese media. The core loop is mining: look up a word in a show or article, make a card, review it later. It sits close to Anki in spirit, with more product around subtitles and lookup.
Who it fits
It fits intermediates who already watch or read Japanese and hate copying cards by hand.
Limits
Setup is real work. It is a weak first tool.
