Some piracy anime streaming websites, such as Aniwave (aka 9anime) shut down. (sh.itjust.works)

It seems animesuge.to, anix.to and aniwave.to closed down with the exact same message, though there may be a few other sites that closed down in a similar way.

Corporate greed always ends one way, and its never in the benefit of the company.

True, I wonder if all were run by the same admins and if they were forced to or volunteerly did it.

Words seem to indicate the latter, but anyone have more information about the matter?

From what I understand, Fmovies/Fboxz were shut down and these were all related to it. Sister sites or something similar. https://torrentfreak.com/pirate-streaming-giant-fboxz-aniwave-others-dead-in-major-collapse-240827/

Awesome find!

Thabks for sharing!

Interesting news, can't wait to see which sites pop up again and where!

I mean, i could always just torrent anime, but that is more hassle than a good streaming site and lacks the social aspect.

I'd recommend the Miru program if you're on PC. It's a torrent streaming software for anime that is also open source.

Edit: It seems to be available on Android too.

use legal paid services

If I could pay directly to creators of animes I watch, I'd do that. I'm not going to give my money to greedy western companies.

RIP.

I need a new site, whats good now?

[–] Lumun@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

one is hianime(dot)to

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thanks, looks solid.

Works fine on a desktop browser with uBlock Origin, but...

Any tips on how to avoid the zillion popups on a mobile browser on Android?

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 5 points 2 months ago

Firefox and uBlock should do the job.

[–] univers3man@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Use Firefox. You can use uBlock origin and other desktop addons.

[–] Ad4mWayn3@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

You should bookmark theindex.moe (aka piracy.moe), it has a comprehensive list of manga/anime streaming sites, you can use search criteria like langauges, soft-subs, noads, no anti-adblock, etc.

I currently use hianime .to the most

That's a real bummer. I've always had a hard time surfing the high seas for anime since I mostly watch dubbed. I've found alternative sites but they seem to have worse browsing especially for dubs.
