| Ummmmm soo it looks like the Federal Court of Australia has taken down like literally every illegal anime streaming site as of this afternoon in Australia. Just wanted to know if any other fellow Australians is having issues accessing anime streaming streams like masterani, gogoanime, kissanme and literally every other decent anime streaming site. Because whenever I ever try to access these sites I get a message "content denied" followed by "Access to this website has been disabled by an order of the Federal Court of Australia because it infringes or facilitates the infringement of copyright. - 1800 086 346 for information." This may be a very dark day for anime in Australia? I was wondering if anyone had any more information! |
| Oh thank god it's not world-wide. The only competition to crunchyroll is kissanime, if crunchyroll gets rid of this competition by deleting their competitors we won't see improvement in their service (not just in terms of usability (although that's necessary too), I want there to be more transparency about where their money goes and the only reason Mothers Basement has any ground to stand on when he says they can't share their distributions is their use of upfront licensing fees (which are completely unnecessary BTW)). Gogoanime still works, but you can't download from there and since Australia has shit internet (now slightly more shit) gogoanime still being up means nothing. I hope a VPN works. I'll try one when next I need to download things. |
| Honestly haven't tried getting in using a VPN as I don't have one setup, but I imagine that could possibly work |

It's far more likely that the big content companies pushed for overly broad copyright restrictions that apply across all genres of movies/TV/video (and possibly music, games, software, etc. too), and anime got caught up in it as well. |
A møøse once bit my sister... |
| Pf, that sounds awful. I guess the only choices you have left are using a VPN and torrenting everything. |

It doesn't matter whether it was crunchyroll that removed those sites. What matters is that they're gone and not because crunchyroll was just too good for them to compete against. |

It doesn't matter whether it was crunchyroll that removed those sites. What matters is that they're gone and not because crunchyroll was just too good for them to compete against. It looks like the Australian government ordered a block to dozens of popular pirate sites back in August 2018 like Demonoid, EZTV and Putlocker as requested by the particular industries who felt they were losing profits from these pirated sites (Film studio Village Roadshow and Australian broadcaster Foxtel). Looks like the purge must have reached anime streaming sites as well, a request could have most likely been put in by crunchyroll and netflix which sucks! But apparently using a VPN should work, which I will probs setup tomz. |

| Nyaa was targeted also, I believe. They'll have to find ways around that. Horriblesubs I didn't see on the list though. |

 Decide once every certain number of years which members of the ruling class will oppress and crush the people in parliament: this is the true essence of bourgeois parliamentarism, not only in the constitutional parliamentary monarchies but in the most democratic republics - The State and Revolution (September 1917), Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov "Lenin". |
| Wow, that’s pretty crazy. Coming from a fellow Aussie I only use Crunchyroll these days. |

| I’ve noticed this awhile ago, was trying to watch Bakemongatari but the whole page was taken down by the Australian government. Though I mainly use Crunchyroll or animelab anyway |
  |
| I thought you australians only watch rugby, cricket and aussie rulles. Well, I'm with you, try google the hylia, they have some anime, you only need an account. |

Just asking, why didn't you subscribe to AnimeLab, legal streaming site for Australia (i don't want to debate legal/illegal, pirate etc, just ask) |

Geshtinanna said: I'm sorry if this is going to sound really lame but there's always YouTube. I know the selection is limited (to say the least) but I'm sure you will still be able to access it: https://www.dailydot.com/upstream/best-anime-youtube/ https://goboiano.com/21-popular-anime-you-can-watch-free-on-funimations-youtube-page/ You can also find a lot of obscure live-action adaptations on YouTube, the quality leaves something to be desired but it’s better than nothing. |
| 3rd party streaming sites are needed for very old rare anime that wouldnt be abailable to watch if it wasnt |
My Candies:  |
| Glad I don't live in Australia. Also glad I can afford all the paid streaming services now. |
| This was a pretty stupid law honestly and it shocked me when I started living in Melbourne a month ago, but it's nothing a good ol' VPN can't solve. |
 |
| I know this is late, but if you don't want to use a VPN I have a few suggestions as I am in the exact same boat as you. We can access https://www.kuroani.me still, which is up to date with everything. I ran a VirusTotal and it doesn't appear to have any. Quality is up to 1080p on somethings but mainly seems to be 720p. Yes there are some ads, but nothing an AdBlocker can't fix, which is also another benefit, because it doesn't have the Anti-AdBlock like some others do, such as KissAnime. The site also supports both Sub/Dub We also still have access to https://www.horriblesubs.info, if you need to torrent. |
