Looks like a string of sites have shut down over fears about being unmasked and legal action being taken against fmovies, who were running most of the sites.
https://kaido.to/home is being discussed as an alternative. I am unfamiliar and can’t vouch for it at this time though.
https://4anime.gg/ still exists and works too.
“please use legal paid services”
Hell will freeze over before crunchyroll does anything useful. Shit site that doesn’t even host 10% of existing anime
Over a year ago I tried writing down on which streaming services the anime I was watching or wanted to watch were, in case I for some reason decided to stop pirating. I found that in order to access ~90% of the anime I was interested in without outright piracy, I needed five separate streaming service subscriptions plus a VPN subscription — the remaining tenth of anime I wanted to watch were wholly unavailable except by piracy. And since VPNs violate the TOS of many streaming services, you might as well be pirating, in that case! So how about without using a VPN to circumvent geo-blocking? Even with five separate streaming service subscriptions, I would in that case only have access to around half of the anime I wanted to watch.
Now I don’t want to come across as, y’know, treatbrained or whatever, but it’s like… What, $35~$40 a month to get access to only half of the anime I want to watch? I might as well be buying used DVDs from the local classifieds, because at least then I’d actually physically own my anime. The only good thing about Netflix is that they’ve got Norwegian subtitles, but even then the quality of the subtitles is sometimes questionable, and the shows themselves can be pulled at any moment. And do the Norwegian subs get saved to any piracy or subtitle websites before the shows get pulled? No, of course not, because I’m probably the only person in the world who actually gives a shit.
Definitely don’t pay for Crunchyroll, I like reminding people that they don’t want to pay their voice actors union wages.
Don’t use anime streaming sites just use nyaa.si and pirate episodes on the fly - much faster, better quality, and your choice of specific fansubs/etc!!!
Torrents (and especially that site specifically) have met all my needs for years. Good torrent software (like the free, open source qbittorrent), will let you literally stream the video just as well as a site, by downloading chunks in sequential order.
Ugh. Aniwave was a good one. There’ll be another good one I’m sure, but it sucks to constantly have to swap.
9anime is still working for me
9animetv is not 9anime, different people that simply copied the name and took the search engine rankings when one of the other 9anime domains was taken or lost. 9anime changed its name to aniwave when it happened as far as I’m aware.
You mean the pirate site I’m using is pirating the name of a different pirate site? Lmao
