| I know pirate sites are bad for the anime community so I'm not going to get mad. This post is for other kissanime users who ended up getting attached to the website, as dumb as it sounds. Honestly, I'm pretty sad about it. When I started watching anime again after years, I used kissanime. I re watched Naruto and started watching other anime almost everyday on the website. It also helped me reconnect with an old friend who lives in a different country. We watched all kind of anime together. Because we weren't able to share our screen with each other, we had to use a site without mid roll ads and sync the videos. The captcha "game" where you had to choose the right pictures with numbers was annoying at the start, but I already miss it whenever I press "next episode" on other websites and there's no 'boy, no eyebrows, 1' or ' dog, flower, 7'. I miss the guitar that played before the episodes started (It's a ringtone called Harmonics for Samsung phones). There are other websites you can use, but I'm not going to recommend any because I'm afraid of recommending something with malware. If you had any anime bookmarked on the site, it's gone forever. I don't know if there'l be refunds for people with premium but seems unlikely. Right now a lot of people are feeling down about this, so you can always post about your experience with KA here or check r/Kissanime which is full of both memes and serious posts. Even if it was a pirate website, it was quite welcoming. I remember some commentators who were always appearing on the comment section of popular anime. Hopefully other sites will keep that good community together. If you want to check the reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93a3yPKgFRs And a video I found with alternatives (I didn't check if they are safe so be careful if you use them): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93a3yPKgFRs Also, considering the size of this group I assume some people might get upset about me posting this, considering it does harm the general community. Personally I use pirate websites because I can't pay for subscriptions as I'm in college doing three courses and don't have the time for a part-time job. I also have little free time and the amount of ads in sites like CR makes it hard to watch even just two episodes before my lessons start. My point is, I know I'm in the wrong but I'm not going to start using legal websites until I can pay for the subs. If you text me I'm happy to remove the link advertising pirate sites. |
| Gonna miss Kissanime. I ain't proud of using it, but even with access to several streaming services, even if I wanted to buy a physical copy of everything I want to watch, there's still so many great shows (especially older ones) that you just can't get a hold of legally. Shows that the streaming services haven't grabbed and are out of print. Having even the most obscure anime available from a single search bar was fantastic. If it weren't for that access there's a lot of show's I'dve missed out on. I'd rather be able to pay to actually support the creators, but given the choice between using an illegal website or just not experiencing some amazing art I'll choose the former. Though, I think the loss of Kissanime is mostly a loss of convenience. Now instead of going to this one website we have to either find another source or do some internet sleuthing. I can't say this for certain but fortunately I don't think there's much that only Kissanime had. |
