What is Danbooru?
Danbooru is an English language imageboard and image hosting website focused primarily on anime style illustrations. It was launched in 2005 by a programmer known as "Albert" and is frequently described as one of the earliest and most influential "booru" style sites, using collaborative tags to organize images.
The site hosts over 10 million user submitted images (as of December 2025), which are labeled with user-generated tags and content ratings. Danbooru has served as the basis for a large ecosystem of derivative software, related imageboards and machine learning datasets.
Comments and Reviews
Easily one of the best resources around for finding any anime fanart you could want. Just beware, you are going to see a lot of lewd content, no way about it. If that isn't your jam, stay to more curated content feeds.
