After masteranime and animeheaven getting closed I'm starting to think that anime sites will die and get closed 1 by 1. What do you think? |

I wouldn't worry too much. Yes, sites will be taken down, but as soon as one goes down, 3 more will spring up to fill the gap. That's how it usually goes for pirates media sites. As for these alt-sites' quality, I can't say, but at the very least, there should always be at least one website available going into the future. Also, yes, r/animepiracy is a huge help for finding good sites, I highly reccommend it |

This hasn't just been happening now, as one goes down 5 five more comes out of the woodwork. I don't even know about those anime sites. |

Nah. Some will close some will open. It's a matter of competition. |

I haven't streamed in a while, but Masterani was the single best streaming site out there. If only Crunchyroll didn't have such a shit selection in my country... between that and Netflix, I'd probably be good. And no, I'm not installing an "unblocker" since I'm on a freaking PS4. |

just like torrent sites, anime streaming sites is like hydra, you cut one, more of them will come. and sometimes the problem lies in maintenance or financial issues, there’s always a way to bypass a blocked link anyway and i think maintaining an anime streaming sites is a hard work, especially if the collection is huge. and unlike a corporations, these sites sometimes handled by a maybe a handful of people |

I haven't streamed anime in a long long while but if I ever wanted to watch old anime Masterani would have been my go to site so it's sad to see it go. mcl69 said: Crunchyroll will always be there for you :) Many people live in countries where majority of Crunchyroll's catalog is not licensed in their region. At least that's the case for me when I last checked it. Honestly now that I'm older and I'll be starting a job soon I'm at the point where I can't bother with sketchy anime sites and I'd rather just pay money to get a good experience. I hope Netflix and Amazon Prime Video get more anime since I'm gonna subscribe to those anyways especially the latter one since it's much more affordable where I live. I think Amazon Prime video also simulcasts unlike Netflix so that's also a huge plus. Edit: Just checked crunchyroll again and my god it's absolutely pathetic. Literally everything I'm watching this season is not available due to licensing restrictions. Not only that but it's 10 times more expensive than Amazon Prime Video and it's almost the same price as Netflix. cevat24 said: I personally don't care. Nyaa is enough for me. It's only good for popular and recent anime. Many of the links to anime from many years back are dead. |

I am personally TRIGGERED that masterani shut down. It was rather sudden. It was my favorite site for things that I couldn't find on CR. Its death is a significant blow to the community, but I agree that it will rebound and more sites will appear to take its place. I'm just not confident that we will get one with as good a layout and community. |
It's not like I like anime or anything. |

If anime fans are going to break the law at least be thankful you all can watch anime free. Sadly, modern anime fans don't realize how lucky they are. |

No because you have to be alive to be able to die. Streaming sites are not living beings, and therefore they cannot die. |

Just as others said: if one dies others take it's place. It's sad to see masterani go, but there are and always will be others. I'd advise everyone to NOT mention these "others". Who knows if masterani closed because pirate hunters found out about it on a forum like this or someone browsing ratted out to pirate hunters? If you want a recommendation for sites I or others use, PM us instead. deg said: I do still torrent stuff that I really like but streaming is easier on bandwidth (I live in the countryside where this is a concern) and takes up no hard drive space.learn to download already (torrent and IRC/XDCC) |

Can't believe people actually prefer streaming websites they just rip from horrible subs,nyaa and the quality doesn't look same as download ones. As the person above said just learn to download from nyaa and torrents. |

I seriously hope not, streaming has made anime watching sooo much easier, i don't want to go back to downloading them! When i first learned what anime really was i had to direct download them because streaming didn't really exist back then and torrents took ages to download fully, but since they took up too much space in my hard drive, i had to delete them after i was finished watching, heck, just keeping all my favorite openings and endings takes up 1,03 GB! Imagine what a series of 25 episodes or longer would occupy, that's why i'd rather stream, also when i tried to download some episodes from IRC once upon a time, i got some nasty viruses from it, so i'm definitely NOT using that shit again! >_< |

I personally think it won't die. As an old site came to close, newer ones soon will takes it's place. Piracy is ever prevailing and is everywhere in the internet. |

You're all missing the fact about how unique masteranime was. Literally no other site has tracking besides paid ones and those aren't an option. I would pay $40 a month for a site that does that. Hurrr crunchyrole does that! Yeah with the break up with fun? Go fuck yourself. Someone needs to make a tracking site that rips from both sites but requires membership to both. Real ingenuity there. |

Earlier post I stated I'd pay $40. Having to use multiple apps or sites is a pain in the ass, imagine if mal could only track bones or something. If crunchyroll added a new premium tomorrow for $20 and said it would stream new funimation shows I would buy it. |
