Fuck. I thought they meant kimcartoon. Phew, carry on, carry on.
shocking users
Are they shocked though? It’s getting common for piracy sites to disappear or move to different domains, there are always alternatives
No but Millenial journalism needs their shiti headline writing convention…
Say Thank you they didn’t “slam” something
I see the entire article as simply a community reminder that free anime streaming is out there for interested parties.
Lord’s work indeed
You know we’re right here, right?
‘Millenials are ruining headlines’ is a level of meta I’ve yet to see from that trope.
This has an implication that headlines were better before which I didn’t suggest
You used the term ‘millennial journalism’ in reference to shitty headlines. That pretty directly implies that millenials are responsible for shitty headlines.
That said: whoa nelly, my comment was a joke, not an argument. A pretty flaccid joke too, to warrant this kind of defense. I’m not your enemy, alright?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Thousands of anime fans were shocked Thursday when the popular piracy site Animeflix voluntarily shut down without explaining why, TorrentFreak reported.
“It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of Animeflix,” the site’s operators told users in a Discord with 35,000 members.
Although Animeflix operators did not connect the dots for users, TorrentFreak suggested that the piracy site chose to shut down after facing “considerable legal pressure in recent months.”
Then in mid-May, rightsholders—including Netflix, Disney, Universal, Paramount, and Warner Bros.—won an injunction through the High Court of India against several piracy sites, including Animeflix.
On Reddit, some fans also complained after relying exclusively on Animeflix to keep track of where they left off on anime shows that often span hundreds of episodes.
“We hope the joy and excitement of anime continue to brighten your days through other wonderful platforms," Animeflix’s Discord message said.

As they continue to make life harder for paying customers more people will stop paying
As a paying customer, the 1st time something was taken from me that I had paid for, was the last time I even tried to purchase video media legally.
One head gets chopped off, two new ones spawn.
It’s always an issue of service. Make it more available. Adjust the price. Increase content availability. It’s not a rocket science problem, it’s just a problem of corporate greed, and law abuse
One head gets chopped off, two new ones spawn.
HAIL HYDRA
HEIRU HAIDURA!
Except if you’re Nintendo. They somehow managed to kill the emulating sphere.
It was a sad period to see one thing that worked so great fragment like this
animeflix wasn’t even the best anime streaming site in my opinion. Sorry it’s gone, but there’s excellent options out there right now.
Please don’t mention any good anime sites, i don’t want it to be taken down due to too many users.
My anime site of choice is a UI nightmare filled with ads and banners. Super ugly and bloated. And it just happens to contain pretty much every animated show or movie in history. It’s been around for over a decade now. I’ve gotta think the shittiness is intentional to avoid suspicion.
Yup Gaben called it, just look at Steam.
Good. Even one less person watching anime is a win for humanity
How dare Japan have their own forms of entertainment!
You realize weebs are losers there too right?
They have plenty of non-anime related entertainment
Look, I know there exists a certain stereotype of the “Weeb”, as an overweight bearded man obsessed with Anime, unemployed, living in his parent’s basement surrounded by hentai posters and waifu body pillows. I’ve met this kind of person before, they do exist.
But this is still just a stereotype, and it absolutely does not apply to the vast majority of Anime watchers. I know plenty of professionally and socially successful people who love geeking out about Anime. It’s really hard to think of any of them as losers.
The real losers I’ve met in life are the intensely negative assholes that always have an excuse for hating other people. The people who decide that everyone who likes something they don’t must be stupid. Nothing says “loser” like your brand of antisocial close-mindedness.
If it makes you feel better thinking everyone else is a loser, more power to you, but everyone else sees who the real loser is.
Sounds like cope from a weeb (loser),
To be a loser, you must first lose something. Like your sense of wonder and virginity.
Strange, because Wikipedia tells me that the highest-grossing Japanese film in Japan of all time was an anime, as were the next five and most of the others on the list:
That’s a whole lot of losers for one small country.
Of course, that’s just the highest-grossing Japanese film in Japan. The highest grossing film made anywhere in Japan is… the exact same anime, followed by another anime.

In Japan not everyone that watches anime is a weeb
Or are you disputing that they have other forms of entertainment?
Sure. Not everyone in Western countries went to see Avengers movies. I wouldn’t suggest that the vast numbers of Westerners who did go are all losers just because they could have been listening to Delta Blues instead.
May I remind you of your original comment:
Good. Even one less person watching anime is a win for humanity
I didn’t make that comment, I think you’re in the wrong thread
I don’t watch anime, but let everyone watch what they want. Even if they like to watch the “most degenerate” versions of Hentai. I don’t fucking care.
It bleeds into other media
I don’t know if you meant this as a joke but it’s legitimately funny.
I watch anime btw.
While you hate anime for no reason whatsoever, I hate you for hating something for no reason whatsoever. My hate still makes more sense.
You are welcome
I thought they were talking about nyaa.si for a second but thankfully not.
You can always find a replacement at theindex.moe
I’ve been using the same anime/manga torrenting site since the mid 2000s and I can’t believe it’s still up. Gonna be a sad day when it finally closes down.
https://crunchyroll.com you’re welcome
Mehh their web player was pretty awful back when I used it and wasn’t worth the subscription.
I used it for a while, until they put some old shows (1990 era) I was in the middle of watching behind a paywall.
I get it for new shows, but I was happily watching old stuff with ads blocked by ad-block. Theres probably a reason for the change, but I can’t guess why. /s
They were also down every other week, so I wasn’t going to pay for something I could only use 75% of the time.
Meanwhile, I just search “watch anime online” on ddg or yandex and check around, while ublock origins does its job and ensures I don’t get harassed by ads and shit clickjack javascript (the ones where clicking anywhere opens the ad). A good pirate never makes a single port his home
Hanime.tv is next.
