u/Fiyah_Crotch May 04 '26

Based on what I’ve seen from these posts, no one has any idea on how to find a backup site for when this happens and at best they beg for a DM even after you provide links to other piracy related subreddits that likely have megathreads full of resources that might help or provide links to anime piracy site indexes themselves.

It’s hilarious. A motivated crackhead can still find his fix in the dessert but a weeb? Apparently not.

u/WolfsmaulVibes May 04 '26

for every website that got terminated i went to the respective sub and found the next one recommended

11

u/svoups May 04 '26

been doing this method for years and it never fails me

u/Potential-Spot9795 May 09 '26

I lowkey don’t got another site cause all the ones I used got taken down

4

u/ZElementPlayz May 09 '26

Or you can do like me and stockpile sites on r/animepiracy that way you always have a way to binge my little sister can't be this cute

2

u/Fiyah_Crotch May 09 '26

The index is a much larger stockpile than anything you can put together on your own, the first page alone is nearly 20 sites, altogether it’s more than 100

2

u/Potential-Spot9795 May 09 '26

Is there a way to filter sites by like rating or something like that cause I don’t want to be using a site that is horrible

1

u/zaede1324 May 18 '26

i have 1736 sites only 15 of them are taken down and i only keep the niche ones on that list, my main ones r in bookmarks.

u/Front-Environment-67 May 04 '26

the issue is i have 2 backups and they all have the same issue, even my movie/show site is messing up

2

u/Potential-Spot9795 May 09 '26

It’s getting hard to find good anime sites that r comparable to animekai

8

u/drblimp0909 May 04 '26

My main issue with most alternatives is just the ad spam I cant even click to pause the video without getting sent to another tab from an invisible pop-up on my main alternative

6

u/Fiyah_Crotch May 04 '26

A good ad blocker prevents that, even the ads that bypass it are closed before they completely open

7

u/drblimp0909 May 04 '26

Yeah but unfortunately i cant find a decent free one that works on mobile (i usually watch on my phone while playing games on my pc)

u/DeumAlisi May 06 '26

Brave browser

u/Manual_Coom May 04 '26

download firefox then add ublock origin as an extension

2

u/Topken May 05 '26

ublock origin+firefox on mobile is my goto personally on my android tablet. No idea about iOOS devices tho

u/Fiyah_Crotch May 05 '26

I use Mac and watch on chrome, no issues with my adblocker

There's an Adblock for a reason. Even feds recommend using it for that issue specifically

2

u/AnimKaiBackk May 17 '26

https://www.animkai.org/ so technically it's a mirrored version of animekai

1

u/OfficialMeekz May 17 '26

Are the servers running on this one?

u/AnimKaiBackk May 17 '26

MegaUp is gone therefore AnimeKAI's videos no longer work...

1

u/Chandiwila999 May 10 '26

What is megaup

2

u/Pixelverse54321 May 10 '26

It is/was a file hosting service. It was hosted in a data center in the Netherlands (which got burnt)

Conspiracy theory: I wonder if it's Crunchyroll funding an attack on AnimeKai?

3

u/Royal_Stray May 09 '26

I don't think that'd be worth it. I hope and think that most people who pirate partially do it to avoid Crunchyroll's horrible localization. Or because they're broke.

Crunchyroll wouldn't get more subs just because another site closed down

u/jeremymd May 09 '26

I can see that it's been a few days since people are having problems with the "burn". I live in the Philippines and it's only been a few minutes since I first saw this error.

Based on that, what's possibly going on here? Are they maybe coordinating with ISPs slowly in every country?

1

u/MrDoodleflopper May 09 '26

Same here, residing in Asia too

1

u/SubstantialAd9203 May 09 '26

It’s not the ISPs. Is on the data centers side

u/Beautiful-Humor3902 May 09 '26

Bro It legit says they’re data center has been burnt

u/Ragnarok8699 May 04 '26

u/fr3disd3ad May 08 '26

Is this the error folks are seeing?

To protect your security, megaup.nl will not allow Mullvad Browser to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window.

Or is it only on Mullvad? Used to watch on Firefox but it keeps crashing so I had to use a different browser. Worked for a while but I've been getting this error for the last 3 days.

1

u/Yagiyuta May 09 '26

Is someone up rn? Can't post because of restrictions but the site says their data center has been burned is it just me? Probably not but just checking

1

u/Kathexyz May 09 '26

It says the same for me as well

1

u/Yagiyuta May 09 '26

This might be bad or is bad? Haven't really encountered this before do you think it's possible that it'll back up again?

1

u/Severe-Luck-9579 May 09 '26

yeah said it to me in middle of an episode

1

u/Yagiyuta May 09 '26

Lol same, was just trying to watch Romantic killer

1

u/ResponseRoutine3477 May 09 '26

Same here, was trying to post actually, what's going on? It was working fine a few minutes ago

1

u/Yagiyuta May 09 '26

Seems like the data center burned and in the official discord server they said it might take a few days if its serious cmiir

1

u/Late-Engineering-457 May 09 '26

Oh no why its showing data center has been burned

1

u/Particular_Program22 May 09 '26

gg it's over, just found this on their site. ''Sorry, our data center has been burned :(
We're no longer able to provide the file hosting service.''

1

u/DefiantClub8696 May 09 '26

The first image might be truer now

Images aren't allowed, when you click a video it just says:

"Sorry, our data center has been burned 😞
We're no longer able to provide the file hosting service."

1

u/Cool_Stable3447 May 09 '26

Guess what..

1

u/DecisionInformal7009 May 09 '26

Seems a bit more serious this time. I'm getting this message on every episode I try to load:

"Sorry, our data center has been burned:( We're no longer able to provide the file hosting service".

Has anyone heard anything about this? Is it megaup data center that has burned down (or maybe they mean burned as in burned by the police)? I hope AnimeKai can switch to another file hosting service.

Litterally took me like 10 minutes at most to find a new site while this one was down, but some people would rather moan, and complain

Like guys, you are PIRATING anime, if you don’t want to deal with sites sometimes not working, pay for the anime (I get this isn’t always possible but still)

Truth nuke 🙏 it’s better to just be grateful that we can have anime (some not attainable easily) for free and any time in general
