| I’m a bit sad because KA was the only website that let me stream to my tv, guess I’ll have to try my hardest to find another one that will let me do that. |
 |
| I don't care that much about kissanime and kissmanga But I hope nyaa website does not get taken down. If that happens then say goodbye to anime |

That's news to me... even though it's PAY TO WATCH? I've also heard the ads there are skippable in every episodes. Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

Yep...e.g. if u search for to loveru... it will say "Sorry, due to licensing limitations, videos are unavailable in your region: To Love Ru" :/ |

| I always prefered gogoanime over kissanime anyway. And just like I read somewhere once, one site gets shut down and another new 50 get booted up. After looking through a few, you can usually find what you're looking for in a matter of 10 minutes. It's not like they won't try and boot up the site or a new one in the future anyway. |
 |
| Thank god. Fucking garbage malicious site forcing you to turn off adblock. Glad it's gone again. There's better sites to use or better yet just torrent. |
| it'll be back was kind of a gross site, tho |
| You remove one, another one will eventually pop up. These aggregator websites will never die as long as people have backups. I personally don't use KA since their website was an absolute mess. I hope this means people will find better alternatives. |

| I'm not too bothered by KA's shutdown, what does annoy me is that Kissmanga is gone too now, and it had a simple and nice way to read manga, along with a large library, that's what sucks about this. |

| I support Japan in their mission to rid the internet of illegal anime & manga sites (it IS copyright infringement at the end of the day) but I’m still sad & frustrated about this news since outside of Japan, we don’t get even a fraction of the anime & manga content available. There needs to be better services that offer more of a selection of anime and manga, not just because we don’t get to enjoy most of it but because the creators aren’t reaching a wider audience either. |
 |
| Here's a day I never thought would come in my lifetime! but I guess that what awaits all free sites.. KissAnime wasn't my first but was probably my last, I haven't used it or any other streaming sites in years but it makes me sad to see it and KissManga go, I have hardly used the latter one in years too but my bookmarks, damn it. KissAsian is still around, better move my bookmarks before it follows them lol ReadComicOnline is still there too. EDIT: looks like their cartoon site is still there too. |

| RIP KissAnime. Gonna miss rapidly closing the Ecchi ADs when using it beside my mother. Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

| it was definitely my first lol. I did move on to other sites that didnt have as sketchy ads but I still came back to find new anime that are older n' stuff. I used it all the time when I was younger too. It was my childhood lmao. It just feels as tho a piece of my childhood has just vanished lol |

You know what they say, piracy sites are like a hydra. Cut one head off and two more regrow. Read the earlier posts, KA is not coming back. All their files are gone. Changing domains will do nothing about the server where the files were kept. |
| I shall remember it forever. it was one of the only sites that didn't have ads appearing every time you click. |

| Since I've had to yet again clean this thread of streaming links and it's not even been one page: DeadlyRaven said: Thread Cleaned Edited and removed a lot of posts linking to copyrighted, non-fair use material. While you can use this thread to discuss KissAnime shutting down, you can't post:
If this thread becomes a way to find alternatives to KissAnime or provide links to other streaming websites, it will be locked. |

Classy_Cassy said: I don't think the files are lost. Of the two dozen alternatives posted and mod-removed in this thread today, about 25% had the obscure shows found also on KA's site but not on most mainstream pirate sites. The other 75% were shallow clones missing all but the current mainstream anime.Read the earlier posts, KA is not coming back. All their files are gone. Changing domains will do nothing about the server where the files were kept. During the experiments with the BETA servers, I looked into the technology a few times. Their so called "beta servers" were thinly veiled wrappers over Google Video. They basically attempted to trick Google and use that server infrastructure for their archives. Obviously Google was no match for them, it never worked fully. To me this feels as if the files never were a problem, but finding a scaling video stream server infrastructure they could use parasitically / for free. I think this again has to do with the massive raids at computing centers in France and Eastern Europe earlier, where large farms with streaming servers were seized (e.g. openload). That may have included their infrastructure, and BETA was an attempt to run "serverless". This is purely speculative, of course. But I think there's enough evidence to conclude that files weren't lost permanently. |

What are you even complaining about? there's TONS of legally licensed Anime and manga now days that we have access to. Especially when compared to 2010 and before that. More and more older titles are finally licensed and renewed and ones that aren't are being fan-subbed/fan scanned. So we have plenty.. Haunt-bot said: Zeroflamez said: Thank god.

And anyone using streaming sites is doing anime wrong. There's only one site I use now and it has no ads and is donation run. I won't be disclosing it here though. For one it's against the rules and 2 and I'm not trying to blow up their spot. |

| Good riddance Another freeloader site extinguished. let me show you my crocodile tears! |
 |
| Does nobody know about adblockers? The player was amazing, big community and HD video. Get an adblocker and everything is set. |
 |
| I used KissAnime until they tried to put in-video ads, which caused the videos to behave erratically with adblockers. Then I went to gogoanime, which I used before I found Kiss anyways, and never looked back. Maybe Kiss has a bigger list and more updates, not sure. Frankly, when content owners take down these sites, they're going to see their revenue drop. I'm not buying any overpriced Blu-rays without liking the anime first, and I'm not streaming shit until they have the same backlog as these sites, which will never happen due to licensing issues. I'm not going to pay monthly to watch anime from multiple sites because the industry can't get their act together. |
| My subjective reviews: katsureview.wordpress.com THE CHAT CLUB. |
| there will always be mirrors of it that will give you malware don't worry But for the original KA I thank them for watching DBZ |
| I think I only used Kissmanga to read a single manga so it's not like I'll miss it or Kissanime. I did know it was a very big website though, and many people used it, so it's still kinda sad, somehow. |
 |
| Well KissManga is a total loss, but I admit I never used KA for my anime I use other sites like one that my Ex introduced to me when we were dating and another one that I've always used for years now and they've been changing their url a lot lately. I'm just glad that there are a ton of options for legal streaming where I am at, but the sad thing is that most niche or older anime that isn't classics will never be picked up that are only available on these types of sites. Not a fan of torrenting cause you have to have a good VPN to do it from what I heard and the only good free one I could find only gives me 10GB per month on Desktop. I only torrented the Code Geass movie and its probably one of the only few things I ever will... |

| I hope 9anime stays intact, well its impossible to actually beat internet piracy so I am not to concerned. |

yaruka said: as long as they dont take down nyaa im chill lol took the words right out of my mouth lol, idk what i"ll do if nyaa gets taken down |
 |
| Despite turning into shit a few years ago, they will be missed. |
 |
| Rip to the goat website, Kissanime ;-; You will be remembered! |
 |
| I read through the legal proceedings and what might be happening here is that Disney is suing for illegal access of their properties, like via KissCartoon. Since all Kiss sites are on the same server, the server has been disabled because of court-order, possibly until they scrub Disney's content from the server. So KA MAY be back, but I wouldn't hold my breath. |
 Explaining my scoring system would take more than 650 characters. |
| I haven't used kissanime or kissmanga in a long time. But they were apart of my early years as an otaku. So I'm gonna miss them in that respect. Hopefully, other sites won't follow but we will have to see. |
| "Even if there isn't a God or meaning behind life. That doesn't mean you can't create your own meaning and make the best out of life." |
| KissAIDS finally died like a dog? How fitting. There are plenty of problems with legal streaming services, but filling your computer with enough viruses to make a Dutch hooker blush is not one of them. |
 |
| What's the big deal, this happens all the time. They get taken down and more get put up as a replacement. |
 |
| not all kissanime sites are shutdown |
