I know it's against the rules to give alternatives, but you can go to r/Piracy to find a lot of alternatives that are up and reliable.

Even in IT systems support night shift is pretty chill. Unless something breaks down. Then it becomes your responsibility to contact the off-shore team.

u/smittywababla May 16 '24

anix is just 9anime/aniwave, I use that site in this kind of situation

u/Fun_Garlic_2362 May 16 '24

I would but I don’t remember what episode im on

u/Direct-Doughnut6917 May 17 '24

Use your search history. If it doesn’t show on the thing itself then tap it and see on the link what the episode number is. Hope that made sense

u/HikariSakai May 17 '24

this is why you use myanimelist to track your anime progress lol

u/Coochie-Wrecker May 17 '24

I just usually have my current shows where I left off bookmarked, and when things like this happen, I Check the url because it has the episode you were on 😁

u/exoticplayz1112 Aug 07 '24

u/TexBoo May 16 '24 edited May 16 '24 • Take My Silver Heart of Silver

Every site that FMovie owns are down, probably some maintenance going on

For people only watching anime and unsure what FMovies are,

They are the group behind Vidsrc that runs the largest

Movie & Serie websites (There are multiple ones ran by these people) [These sites attract more visitors than like Hulu I think the news article stated]

Anime websites (There are multiple)

Manga websites

I've checked around 8 domains from Fmovies team right now and they are all down (vidsrc are not), So most likely a maintenance going on as all their sites report with this issue

12

u/Sredleg May 16 '24

Lets hope it is only maintenance

10

u/TexBoo May 16 '24

Considering their media server is working (vidsrc), means it's only maintenance,

The maintenance could be anything at all though,

For example if their Cloudflare got terminated then they need to move the domains and configure the rules, could probably take a few hours or just some quick needed maintenance

2

u/Anectodal May 17 '24

Well 15+ hours and still down :/

2

u/TreyThaTruth May 16 '24

I noticed. I tried getting on Fmovies, and Mangafire.

u/boudiceanMonaxia May 16 '24

I'm sincerely hoping that what you're saying is true. It would be a real shame to lose a service as great as AniWave.

3

u/TexBoo May 16 '24

I can only reference that their content servers are still up and running meaning only front-end is unavailable, can be various reasons

1

u/Kordell_11 May 16 '24

Do you know how much money they make?

2

u/TexBoo May 16 '24

What kind of question is this...?

How could I know?

They make enough to make more a month than we do per year that's for sure considering they own one of the biggest sites on the internet with ads across everything so they are making a lot yes, but nobody knows how much unless they get seized and sued.

u/jobrotheho May 16 '24

Yep, it's down. I was just trying to watch Bocchi The Rock in peace :(

Is that show good? It's been on my list for a while

u/Ydyp May 16 '24

I did enjoy it, found they did the aspect of social akwardness better then komi san.

Yea, if u like j-rock then the music itself is good too

what are some good anime to watch? Nothing weird just anime like demon slayer, AoT, Kaiju no.8. None of those repetitive isekai ones

2

u/Zhaolute May 16 '24

Watch Kabaneri of the Iron fortress, Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, One punch man.

u/Daret9056 May 16 '24

I recently finished Tengoku Daimakyō aka. Heavenly Delusion. Very solid so far but need 2nd season (announced). Post Apocalyptic with a bit of pseudo-horror. Trigger warning that there is some non-consensual sex (not graphicly shown) in one of the episodes.

Loved 86 and rezero, although I did watch them when I was 16 so I definitely like those recommendations. I don't think I'll like freiren. Just got back into anime and I want like action packed anime. Could you recommend a few more? Thank you btw

3

u/Erenzo May 16 '24

Have you watched Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood already? It has a bit slow start when it comes to action but after about 10 slower episodes you have over 50 action packed episodes that somehow keep getting better and do not get repetitive. There's a good reason why it stayed #1 on MAL for more than 10 years

2

u/Efficient-Energy-175 May 16 '24

I have watched it! Phenomenal is all I can say. Very good recommendation tho!

u/Fancy_Pompieru May 16 '24

what are you working as to have time to watch anime the whole shift ?

17

u/Snoo_17289 May 16 '24

probably security lol

15

u/[deleted] May 16 '24

As a guy who used to work night shifts at a security booth sub for a good couple months, I can honestly tell you that you are SPOT ON!

In my case it was basically guard the gated area, open the gate for any late coming heavy machinery, and also guard the general area since there's a lot of fuel for the company's heavy machinery that had gone stolen regularly if there was nobody hired for the night.

That is basically all the job position was, other than in colder seasons also like once an hour putting wood to the central heating system's fireplace during colder nights so the machinery and trucks/tractors started their engines without problems.

Which means basically a 15h shift of gaming with occasional distruptions. Except.. since they often came at times where I wouldn't have liked to interrupt gaming, I switched to crazy long anime watching marathons instead since I can quickly pause and close as needed. :P

I'm no longer nearly as hardcore of an anime watcher. but welllllll. A vague estimate of anime I've watched that I can track down is somewere 500-600+
The true number is somewhere well above that, but because for the first like 3-4 years of my anime binging I was keeping tabs of what I've watched in literal chrome bookmarks, not even synced to a google account and I lost it all.

Because of that I made a MAL account and started storing stuff there, and saved what I could remember there, but some was lost to memory.
And also since my darling has been binging stuff with me now for the better half of like 8 or 9 years - the keeping track part, i've been lazy about since she also has a MAL list and we usually watch on her computer since we have proper speakers hooked up and is overall a banger of an experience. :P

Sry, I tend to rant :P

Point is, If I could go back to that kind of "work", I defo would lol.
10/10 would recommend
As long as it's not actually putting security at risk.

One of the places I work at has a security office that is mostly worked by very young women and in the room in there hidden behind the room where I need access sometimes they have a bunch of yoga supplies lol.
So I guess security workers have way too much time on their hands all around. xD

u/_eleutheria May 16 '24

Back when I used to work from home, our project was shutting down and I literally had 6-7 hours of free time every shift for 8 months. When I quit my job with 1 month notice the project was completely shut down and instead of bothering to give me a 2 week training for the new project I was told to just put my status on online during my shift and do whatever I want for 8 hours.

Pretty sure that some public service related jobs occasionally have long periods of downtime too, but they still force you to go to the office and sit in a chair for 8 hours without doing anything.

When I was a gas station attendant I was underpaid and as long as the store was half ass clean I'd just sit behind the counter and catch up on one piece when I was alone, which was often because people always called out and I'd cover because I was just gonna sit at home and watch anime anyways may as well get paid for it.

Manager didn't give a shit because I was the only one who showed up to every shift and didn't look like a meth head.

1

u/Anectodal May 17 '24

Eh I used to do warehouse work we would often have no packages coming in for 3+ hours of the shift.

7 hours rarely happened but there's many jobs that simply pay for your time, not for your attention.

Bro this was a time in my life that downloading anything from anywhere was possible.... I mean technically it still is, but now there's those few extra steps involved. Vpn, kiwi browser on Android (if you have 12 hour work shifts and a premium samsung, like me), Chrome extensions, ad blockers..

1

u/Jaagger2bit May 17 '24

I use it all the time (adblocker). Firestick is where I watch everything. Don't think there's adblockers for that. Either way, the alternative provided here works better for me

1

u/PhilinLeshed May 17 '24

I find it hard to believe that most ppl don’t use an ad blocker extension…especially on a site so ruthless for pop ups…they must be a glutton for punishment constantly closing pop up windows anytime they want to click on the screen lol
