Description

Describe your suggested feature

Most anime websites label the anime using their romaji ( japanese written in latin) name. That makes anilist or mal search redundant since no results show up.

Adding an option to accounts and security to change the default display name will probably be enough.

Research direction

Start with the Accounts and Security settings entry point and trace where anime display names are selected and rendered. Check the Anilist and MAL search-related flow to understand how the displayed title affects searching. Done means an account option controls whether anime names use romaji by default, with the setting reflected consistently in the app.
