Each month I forecast Google visits to the AI anime girlfriend app sites I track, then score myself when the real number lands. For November 2026 I expect about 13 million visits, about the same as in October 2026.
Below: how my last forecast did, the next six months and site by site.

Each row uses only data from before that month.
Miles explains
5 of 6 in range is honest, not perfect. The biggest miss was August 2026 (+30%), the kind of month when one big site jumps. That’s why the range is wide.
2What is the market doing now?
Visits are up on a year ago (+71%), and the last three months were higher than the three before. Name searches are up (+81% since October 2025). Recent months are getting stronger; the forecast expects November 2026 to be about the same as October 2026.

Miles explains
Big green or red bars are usually one site winning or losing a Google ranking, not the whole market moving. What I watch is the last three months against the three before: +34%.
3Is November usually a big month or a quiet one?
November is usually a quieter month than average (14% below) for searches for “ai anime girlfriend”. But the sites’ visits follow rankings more than the calendar, so the pattern is shown and not allowed to move the numbers.

Miles explains
I tested the calendar against the last months and it made the forecast worse (13.8% average miss with it, 7.7% without), so I show it but leave it out.
4What to expect in November 2026
About 13M visits in November 2026, about the same as October 2026. The likely range is 12M to 14M.

6What the forecast expects for the 7 most-visited sites
The forecast expects none of the 7 to rise by more than 3%, and CrushOn AI (-11%), MyAnima AI (-8%) and anime.gf (-22%) to fall; the rest are within 3% of October 2026. Single sites are harder to forecast than the whole market, so their ranges are wider.

The 7 site forecasts add up to 12,642,825, more than the market forecast of 12,541,953 for every tracked site. Each site is forecast from its own months, with the weighting and the seasonal pattern that suited that site best, and the market from the total, so the two need not add up: CrushOn AI and MyAnima AI are forecast with the seasonal pattern for November 2026, which the market forecast does not use this month. Read the site figures one at a time, not as a sum.
7What could change the forecast
What could knock November 2026 off course:
- A big site winning or losing a page-one position for “ai anime girlfriend”.
- A Google update.
- A site going offline.
- A news story that spikes interest for a week and then fades.
None of these are in the numbers until they happen, which is why the range exists.
