| Fuck. I just planned in reading one show from kissmanga like yesterday. Now it is gone. |

Shame they had powerful archives, though. The ads aren’t even that bad compared to 9anime and gogo Gogo allows adblockers 9anime is spyware so don't even use it |

Anyone have any good suggestions for how to see if a show has a dub now? I don't know of any single site unfortunately. But there is a user that keeps a pretty useful list for such; https://myanimelist.net/profile/Universalx All 1,891 anime on his list are English dubs (I'm assuming you wanted English). Might be worth asking him if he uses something specific. Other than that there's animenewsnetwork which is useful sometimes MAL sometimes is up to date on English VA cast And the animedub subreddit for tracking anything upcoming Maybe someone else has some other wizardy that will be more helpful. |

Thank you for a reply that isn't just "HUR DUR Watch subs!" like I was expecting for saying that I prefer dubs. >.> |

It’s a shame though cuz KA selection was top tier as it included almost every blu-ray/uncensored version with fansubs (if they were better translated) in usually 1080p. |
jr637 said: Thank you for a reply that isn't just "HUR DUR Watch subs!" like I was expecting for saying that I prefer dubs. >.> lol no worries, everyone should watch in whatever way brings them the most enjoyment. Also I forgot this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/Animedubs/wiki/2020 That is for 2020, but they have a list for every year back to 2014 for English dubs. I don't know enough to say if it's 100% comprehensive, but it is quite extensive one way or another. Hope it helps. |
| Anyone check twitter? 9anime's twitter (not sure if it's real or not) paid tribute to kissanime and kissmanga lol |
 |
| Why did Kissanime shut? Would someone enlighten me?I am sure the site had copyright claims but it was an issue from the conception of the site.They just changed servers in 2016/17 when it was taken down.So,what's stopping them?Are other sites like nyaa and horrible gonna affected?Cause some newssite said it was an order straight from Japanese govt. who are trying to control piracy?Another theory is going on that it's from the studios directly who are trying to open an YouTube channel. I would want someone to enlighten me on this issue. |
| I actually stop using kissanime a long time ago when I discover ani** but I hope they will not ban tachiyomi app huhu also any*** app. I heard that toei studio et all will post anime episodes in anilog YT. We need to support animators by using legal site to watch anime so we should not be sad about it. I want to use legal sites really, but Funimation is not available in my country and Crunchyroll anime is not complete, if I search some anime.. sometimes it appears but no episodes! It's confusing to used it. I hope Anilog YT put all anime there. |

| I care less about that site it and it also had very lewd ads. Though it had many obscure anime which was a thing I liked about it so RIP kissanime you were a good site with fansubs. |

| This is bad. This is really bad. I've seen this happen before with pirate gaming, once the big players are gone they will start coming for the small ones. If you're watching or reading on another website something you better buy yourself an 8tb hard drive and start backing up everything |

| I used Kiss Anime ever since 2014. It was easily my most visited site to watch anime over the 6 years. Sure the website deteriorated over the years and there was even a time where I boycotted the website because I got banned temporarily for blocking ads, but you know what....this website was real special ya know Plus I don't think any other streaming site has the expansive library that kiss had. If there was an obscure show you wanted to watch, there was a 90% chance kissanime had it. I didn't think this day would come considering how much money they made from the site. Also the comments section off kissanime felt way more lively and responsive than other streaming websites.....well it was a good run, RIP my old dear friend  guych said: Y’all this is actually the saddest thing that happened all quarantine Truly sad nibba hours this and also when the app Manga Rock got shut down as well. |

| Dang. I hated the inappropriate ads on KA and KM but I was always able to ignore them for the sake of enjoying whatever I was watching/reading. KA was the first site I ever used to watch anime, and was the one I used most often. I've found a good site to read manga on, but not for anime... The ones I have found are good and with no inappropriate ads, but there are some particular anime I watch in English, and it doesn't have the English dubs... |

| I used to use kissanime a long time ago but ever since it got shut down a few years ago I havent used it. gogoanime is better anyways |
 |
| And nothing of value was lost. When a pirate site has the nerve to whine about and try to circumvent adblock, they can and should die. Now, if 9anime and animephae got taken down, I'd actually care somewhat cuz those are tolerable non-torrent and non-legal sites for when I really cba to deal with crunchyroll or downloading, and they don't make life hell for daring to use adblock on an illegal and free service that contains viruses and pop-ups a plenty. So many people are whining when there are several better alternatives right in front of them to get the anime they want while having a better experience than Kiss can provide. I don't even actively advocate for mub Crunchyroll and Netflix given how scum CR is and how painful Netflix is regarding seasonals, but damn. I mean, I sorta get it for people wanting to watch super obscure and unlicensed titles not even that many pirate sites have, but for everyone else, literally look anywhere else or use torrents like Nyaa. Sure, nostalgia and all cuz it was the pirste site that introduced people to illegal free alternatives such as piracy and torrenting, but eh. This isn't some international tragedy or anything to really mourn over. When masterani died, it was way worse, since that site wasn't fucking AIDS and was also pretty good at getting subs and raws before most other sites (which knly really matters to seasonal ratrace reviewers who don't get hundreds of upvotes on every review like RebelPanda does) just like animephae is now. |
| Being wrong is just an occupational hazard. Follow me on twitter. I have an anitube channel so feel free to check it out and subscribe if you like what you see. |
| I know KA and KM is illegal streaming site but still it was the easiest way for me to watch any new/old or obsucure show, movie or OVA and manga/manhwa and its sad that now its shutdown. Community was pretty active there too Hopefully, more site will not get shutdown |
 |
| Kissanime was good for finding more obscure anime. |
| Good riddance. KissAnime used to be good but once the banning for using adblock started it went downhill so quickly. Now you can hardly navigate it without getting some dumb popup on your screen that's probably infested with viruses/malware. |

| almost 1000 completed anime and never once did I use kissanime. |
| Welcome to year 2020, anything is possible... |
| Do people not know about Aniwatch? It is a pretty good alternative to KA or even 9anime. |
| crunchyroll take me home To my waifus And my imotous She’s got pies and thighs And tits with eyes She only costs me 6.95 Oh I'm home Crunchy Roll... |
| I had been using kissanime since forever so I'm honestly kinda sad. I mean yes I know there's plenty other websites and maybe even better alternatives but idk, I'm huge on nostalgia so I guess I'm going to be sad about this for a while. |
 |
| I swear to fucking god if they take down 9anime as well, then all hope will be lost for watching anime that isn't considered surface level... |

Those Piece of shits. I'm just so depressed now. I was planning on watching a new anime today, until i heard the news. Ofcourse there are several alternatives, but this was the gateway site for everyone. I wouldn't be surprised if they're actually shut down. We don't even have Animelabs or Crunchyroll so there's that. Again if Disney's behind this then Fuck those power hungry bitches. Looks like Torrents is the way to go. It's pirate time lads. you are a good man , thank you I normally use 9anime but it hasn't been working for 2 days and in turn I am not wanting to watch anime , does your screen also shows "this site ha sbeen blocked as per the directions of department of telecommunication , government of India" ? and yes it is the work of Disney koffiejunkie said: https://twitter.com/sugachie1/status/1294605601058598912?s=21 Apparently nyaa, horrible subs, gogoanime, 9anime and animedao are next. for us in India , they have already been blocked Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button.

| its the end of an era. It started around 2010. WOw 10 years Given, since 2017, it was never the same with the pop-ups and image notification to watch a different episode. But it was the best at what it was, specially pre-2017. Its the site that was used if Crunchy, Funi, or HiDi didnt have an anime. |
| Shutting down pirated sites is good thing for struggling Anime Industry, yep pirated sites hurting Anime Industry. Yes, we do understand but it's just sad for those people whose poor like me who doesn't have a job yet and only hope of enjoying anime and only relies pirated sites. Also Japan stricter copyright law is on the hunt on other pirated sites, it's the end of era.

| Take one out and another one pops up like always. |

Kinda sad older obscure anime are gone(perhaps for good), but good riddance to this crappy site, so many better alternatives, even for streaming-only. Also, kissanime got to the trending tab on twitter, many are saying "go to CR to watch legally!" when shit's region locked for many outside of US.  |
 |
| Can someone explain to me how kissanime is affected if this is japanese law in action...? And when kissanime.ru ip address and location is located in the US...? (Unless US Laws are also involved?...or im missing smth here....) Spriteman said: DirtyPeasant said: Shit sucks man. Now I have to use shitty Crunchyroll. What is the problem of Crunchyroll, care to explain? Sorry I don't use premium websites :<. welp... alot of older animes r missing from crunchyroll... And theres quite some region restrictions of certain animes... even the website itself if ur not in the USA... unless u use a VPN ofc xd Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| Rip Kiss. I remember I had gotten into anime and tried to look for sites to watch anime. Sites like crunchy roll was unheard of to me. I tried different places until I found Kiss years ago. Im not saying that place is the best but it was one of the well known places, especially with its Naruto online ads which were very sexualized. It had great catalogue which you could not find from places like funimation or crunchy roll. |
"Perfection is perception. For me, humanity's imperfections is what makes it perfect"  |
| RIP Kissanime you will be missed. Perhaps you were too beautiful for this sinful world. I doubt this will stop piracy though. There have been situations like this before and people will always find a way to watch their favourite anime for free so I'm not too sad. But still, it'll be pretty had to find something matching the sheer number and variety KA had to offer. |

| Goodbye Kissanime. I will always remember the porn ads. |
| RIP Kissanime good thing we still have 9anime. |

| I could care less about KissAnime but I frequent KissManga a lot for harder-to-find manga. This sucks |
| Oh my god... I'm actually super shocked at this news ngl. It feels like Kissanime has been around forever. I hope this doesnt become the new trend because I literally wouldnt be able to watch anime without these sites. I cant afford it. I'm actually pretty worried now. I have no idea where I'm even going to read my manga now.. |
