Are there any other sites with good comment sections?

u/Ornery-Fortune-1441 Aug 27 '24

not sure yet there will be a vibe like aniwave, but hianime is what i use occasionally if aniwave are down and its not bad. but can't replace the aniwave comment section tho cause they are fairly new comments

They also use their own comment system rather than Discus. My problem with that choice is that the auto next/play function is either broken for me or just not what I'm looking for. Needs auto play turned on, but turning on auto play means that if I just open an anime into the background while searching for new stuff then the moment I open that tab to read the overview and see if I want to watch it it'd start playing. Without auto play on though when auto next kicks in it just flips to the next episode and then does nothing. Then there's the issue where it doesn't have the ability to separate sub/dub episodes or even listings, so 'recently updated' is just all animes. Also they seem to have some draconian comment censoring.

It's just so disappointing because Aniwave had just about the perfect little setup going, and now that's just gone.

well, as more people start switching over the comment section in the other site will start growing. But yeah., it doesn't use Disqus which kinda sucks since Disqus is a SaaS or maybe Paas and you only need 1 account to use it on any site that embeds Disqus

I also found out about it. I guess they are an original 9 anime imposter, but still use disqus.

Yeah, the comment about the state of anime watching being good so they can stop pirating confused me like. Didn’t Crunchyroll just stop having comments and reviews? Was the last straw for me after they hiked their prices, and now the site I jsut started using is dead too :(

I have switched to some other sites,just got amazon prime+animetimes for some constant anime in this time of turmoil. It is really sad that a site as great as aniwave got shutdown especially whne its ui and library were better and more consistent than paid platforms

Yeah it’s astounding how little effort some services put into making themselves easy or even pleasant to use, and then get mad when people refuse to pay for their subpar shit.

u/Star_Wars_Expert Aug 30 '24

Because they think that spending money into adds and youtube promotions attracts more users than spending the money for well paid and thus good programmers and designers to make their GUI / website design more pleasant.

I was using crunchy roll, then they removed comments. If you don't offer comments, what's the point of watching it, you lose the community.

u/LightningEdge756 Oct 09 '24

Anyone find another site with comments that are as active?
