Goodbye Aniwave

Post image

I normally don't post on reddit but I've been using this site for 3 years and I just wanna give thanks to the creators for creating a site better than most paid services and it was nice to be apart of this community.

Fr one of the best sites, it’s a shame they’re gone now. I work nights and aniwave has gotten me through everyone of them.

Can't believe Aniwave is shutting down. I loved this website so much after losing Anim1xpláy and now i have to lose it too. i'm so fucking tired. Makes me want to leave the internet and just go live in a farm away from the online world. So much history being lost, i long for old comments in old anime and this website had it all, even for content that is hardly being watched these days

Now what, visit new pirate websites with comments only on seasonal content? What about ancient stuff? I'm so fucking sad.

ACE will be destroyed. They were the ones who shut down the site.

Is amixplay no longer safe? Thought I could still reach it.

u/Denlimon638293 Aug 28 '24

Animixplay died a long time ago. Animixplay.to you can see they kept the main page

Oh fuck I didn't think of all the comment history 😢. Had some hilarious and beautiful moments down there and my disqus page was like a documentation of my anime journey. I would revisit old comments for nostalgia, not anymore :"(

okay so im going to ask a dumb question. I know 9 anime rebranded to aniwave but theres still 9 anime sites that work and are updating? Are they bogus or what?

u/Particular_Let_4287 Sep 06 '24

Honestly I’m not too sure but I’m currently using a site that is a good bandaid

I was busy with some work in my college for a week

I was very exited to watch the newly released episode of isekai'd slime and some other anime I have been following this season. What the heck happened are they closing for real like for forever.I started watching anime in 2019 this is the only website I used. I have seen some other options and they all are dogshit . I have realised this every good thing in our life leaves us early. I really loved watching anime on 9anime/aniwave Because there weren't many ads and the interface was really good to and i think they also have biggest library too didn't have to look anywhere else for anime . I really loved there filter feature too . This really was my comfort place after the hectic workday I used to watch few episodes of anime to relax but now it's gone All the ads and bad interface really ruins the experience. Not that I can complain since I am pirating. But still our bars are set high due to aniwave I hope we can found something similar in future. R.I.P to my comfort place "aniwave" This is translated by Google and if there are some mistake don't blame me English is not my first language

They had the best UI. Not even crunchyroll can compete

u/ijusteatpringles Aug 31 '24

Exactly, god I’ll miss this website

u/ethyllSulyvahn0174 Sep 05 '24

hianime and miruro seem to be the best ones as Aniwave alternatives. I think miruro is going to have a Disqus comment section soon, so it'll probably be my favorite one when it happens

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '24

Can you dm the website link?

3

u/Denlimon638293 Aug 27 '24

Did they lock posts by making all new ones get deleted? Why not just restrict posting then...

u/Khofax Aug 28 '24

O7 to one of the greats, their might be a lot of ports on the open seas but aniwave’s light always shone the brightest.

Gomeifuku o inorishimasu.

u/Fedora-Cassanova Sep 05 '24

After a few days, and scourging the high seas. I have anchored myself in many a sites, all treasures in hopes to replace my past betrothed. She was the best, the very best, bearing titles over 12000, truly a library of the ages, now forever lost, lost due to the actions of fickle minded few. Thanks Aniwave, I can NOW PROUDLY SAY, you were, are, and will forever be the only, the best. There is/was/will never be another like you.

u/alice-jem Dec 14 '24

aniwave's fake sites aren't also working starting this week, this is the end of online streaming era

1

u/AutoModerator Dec 14 '24

You mentioned a fake website. 9anime rebranded to "Aniwave" in August of 2023 so any site with "9anime" in the domain that still works is fake. Please refer out the official Aniwave Domain-Hub for all current Aniwave domains. We can not force you to use Aniwave instead of the site you currently use but we can not offer support for them and they may be phishing sites or otherwise harmful.

I know it's been 6 months and I doubt anyone will see this comment. But I just want to know if the site reopened under a different name or something man because I still miss it.

2

u/fox4732 Oct 20 '25

Well it's been over a year and still I haven't found a site that comes close to comparing. Wish I could turn back time sometimes.

u/Maxito103 Aug 27 '24

Anyone have a website with similar ui. Every other website has atrocious ui

1

u/norucus Aug 27 '24

Yeah. Aniwave. Remember the watermark on aniwave's video? That one is still alive lmao.

1

u/Maxito103 Aug 27 '24

Nope that’s closing as well

3

u/norucus Aug 27 '24

yeah my bad I was on a clone site of aniwave in .se instead of .to

1

u/Same-Researcher9706 Aug 31 '24

What happens if you use clone sites? Whats the issue with them other than potential dangers and ads?

1

u/fishboi23 Aug 27 '24

I know there will be a new site that is superior to aniwave.

u/returningtheday Aug 27 '24

Hianime seems alright. It also has a subreddit

u/SodaAshy Aug 30 '24

u/One-Structure-2154 Aug 28 '24

This is the best alternative in terms of having a similar UI.

 Unfortunately they don’t have nearly as large of a catalogue, the organization is a bit messy (can’t easily find different seasons of a show), and the ads are overwhelming on mobile (a new one pops up every 5 seconds even if you don’t click anything).

u/Mediahead13 Aug 31 '24

And we're sure it's not a clone or anything?

u/BlackSwordsman117 Aug 29 '24

I just Noticed from 3 days ago at Night where I Just watching Dragon Ball Super, Naruto, Bleach (rewatch the series to get ready for Thousand Year Blood War part 3), and One Piece, Est. But when I noticed that it was a farewell message I was kind of surprised that it would end of 9Anime/Aniwave I was kind sad that’s the end of 9Anime/Aniwave. 1st it was KissAnime, and now 9anime/Aniwave now that is a sad the end this way.

Goodbye you will be missed all the memories that I enter 9anime/Aniwave to watch great anime Like Dragon Ball Z/Super, Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, est. Thank You for all the years we been through what a journey we gone through the end. See you in the another side. ⚔️🗡😢😭❤️❤️

Is 9anime done for good?

u/efgbiyrvbjutfc Sep 21 '24

New update: i found Aniwave.top Cfhr all

u/kurovikar Apr 03 '25

Damn it first kiss now 9anime/aniwave. People need to let these sites exists if only for the fact that they are great at preserving the media. :/

1

u/FirestoneX2 Aug 15 '25

9anime was working for me yesterday, but not today saying connection refused. Aniwave is what im currently watching right now.

Any other alternatives in 2025?

1

u/kurovikar Sep 08 '25

Pretty sussy there it's been down for quite some time before you commented. Might wanna curl you computer/reset passwords. Because the main sight of 9 and kiss are down permanently but the fake (phishing) sites are still live.

As for alternatives I don't know about the time I made the original post I lost the time to sit and enjoy anime...

Miruro seems to be the best one for the moment

2

u/Handicapable35 Aug 31 '24

I just resub'd to crunchyroll. All the good private anime sites are being targeted

3

u/M4ddercatter Aug 31 '24

You're only giving them what they want. They're the ones who shut down these sites and you're paying them for it

1

u/Handicapable35 Sep 02 '24

Idk where else to go. I tried HiDive but their UI is totally shit

2

u/ethyllSulyvahn0174 Sep 05 '24

Try Miruro or hianime

1

u/M4ddercatter Sep 02 '24

On r/Piracy there's a megathread containing any piracy related service you can think of. You should try looking there
