Animepahe is a pretty good alternative though it sometimes doesn't have older series. Gogoanime works fine in that case too. And for manga I use mangakakalot and manganelo or look up the series on r/manga to find a link there if it's a more recent series.

@ChartTopper60 they put ecchi ads all over the place, and I haven't experienced it but many people said the ads put the computer at risk, kind of like a virus or a malware. They admitted that it was bad, but still made a system where anyone who use an adblocker can't watch the video and would be banned.

Yeah lol, I don't remember what Kissanime was like in terms of that but I remember that Kisscartoon would straight up lock up your page with the fucking Minions going "BEE-DOH BEE-DOH" and "DO NOT BLOCK ADS ON KISSANIME/KISSCARTOON!!"

@petran79 Holy moly, thank you so much. Now I'll be able to read that, Ashita no Joe and a bunch of others...

NOOOOOOO THAT'S WHERE I FUCKING READ ONE PIECE

I really don't care about Kissanime, although I know people did use it. But that's where I read all of my manga ;-;
Some manga are hard as hell to find yet the entirety was on Kissmanga. Like the entirety of the obscure manga "Kuro" is there, but I can't find it elsewhere, not even when I last searched for it on Nyaa. Mangadex sucks shit because the limited library and many manga I want to read aren't in full there.

I believe they had J-Dramas and K-Dramas as well. And that's probably on TOP of KissCartoon and KissComics.


Yeah, I do dislike Kissanime, because I don't like their shitty advertising and clickjacking system + the ads themselves being bottom of the barrel, captcha, awfully compressed videos and logos, and generally awful streaming. But everything under the "Kissanime" hub of sites has a bunch of shit that'll be harder to find from here on out. I've hunted the manga Kuro to no avail, and Kissmanga AFAIK was the only place that I know having it complete in English.


This shit sucks.


As far as i saw from reddit comments only their anime and manga site is down.

Manganelo has Kuro! You have to search for it by Kuro (Somato) to find it on the first page though because there's so many manga with kuro in the title I guess. Also it has some of the chapters duplicated multiple times but I'm pretty sure it has the complete manga just formatted it a bit strange.

I use both Manganelo and mangakakalot which seem to virtually be the same site. Sometimes a series is on one but not the other though. Also both sites seem safe, I use them all the time with no problems, but I also have a few adblockers up.

On one hand, fuck KA. I don't like them so I'm not really mourning this if it's for good like that little message is saying it is.

On the other hand, I hate CR more. A *lot* more. Anything that gives them means to gain more power/influence is something I'm wholeheartedly concerned about. KA was a nice counterbalance to them, even if I didn't like much else about them.

Shame because they had a lot of specials and OVAs that not a lot of the other stream sites have. 9anime is closest to it, but my antivrius goes crazy about JS:Obfuscate

It does not help that I dislike downloading a torrent just for that special/OVA only to delete it afterwards or it's an unpopular one and there are no seeders so I get stuck in purgatory

Was just about to say this. I guess you could still use those fake ones that are still around as long as you have adblock/vpn and don’t do any dumb shit like create an account or download something.

But now those sites will steadily turn to shit due to all refugees migrating over. I think it’s safe to assume that kissanime had just about as many active users as the majority of other sites combined.

I've been using Kissanime for like 6 years now :( It was so abrupt. It was working fine like 2 hours ago but when I clicked to go to the next episode, it said that the site was shut down forever. I know it really wasn't the best anime site, but I'll miss watching my favorite shows and debating in the comments on there :(

If true, good. Kissanime is probably the worst pirate streaming site nowadays. If outright banning people who used adblockers in their ad cluttered website wasn't enough of a hint to leave it, maybe that'll do. Literally any other site was better than it after that point.

And nothing of value will be lost.

I don't use KissAnime nowadays as I have enough to pay for streaming sites (still have to pirate though as not everything I want to watch is available legally), but I did when I first got into anime years ago (watched FMA, To Love Ru & most of Fairy Tail on Kiss). I created my first watch list on KA and built up a catalog of ptw titles as well.

It may not have been the greatest site, but as others have already pointed out, it did have a huge database of anime and manga and I knew that if I couldn't find an obscure anime anywhere else then at least I could watch it on KissAnime. Well not anymore.

I have a feeling that 9anime are affiliated with Kiss is some way? Many of the vids have the KissAnime watermark. If they take down 9anime and AnimeHeaven then I'm screwed, although as long as there's demand another pirate site will pop up, I hope.

Although I have Funimation and Crunchyroll subscriptions, they still only account for 2/3rds of all the anime I watch. So many shows are only available on pirate sites (recently I couldn't find Kenpuu Denki Berserk dub, Katangatari & Kamisama Kiss to stream legally in the UK so had to use a pirate site).

There's nothing dangerous on the web as long as you don't stupidly insert credentials on fake websites or download and run sketchy .exe files. the browser javascript engine was designed to never let outsiders tamper with your computer without your permission and even then it has a lot of restrictions.

What do you mean? Yeah, but my point was that a lot of these sites are straight up fake, in that you basically can't watch anything and it literally begs you to download fake installer, purposefully clickjacks you, etc. Kissanime is bad, but at least you have less to worry about, especially since you can watch anime in the first place

Fucking sucks man. Piracy is a very subjective subject that many people have different views on (especially in regarding to anime piracy), but no one can deny how big Kissanime was and how many people used it. It was even bigger then Crunchyroll at some point. And yes pirate sites have limited life spans (because they are literally doing something illegal), but it is still kinda sad to see such a big site being snapped out of existence.

Totally agree with you. I was obliged to switch to 9anime because I could no longer download stuff from their Beta-server....but I stuck to KissAnime for as long as I could.
