“Please use legal paid services” yeah I would if
- They actually had the content I’d like to buy available for purchase
- I actually get a copy to keep and not rent for an indefinite period of time until the rights holder and / or vendor forgets to renew and it gets automatically removed.
- It didn’t grant them the legal right to kill your spouse.
Say what you will about disney but they kill your wife without calling in 10,000 favors like the damn mafia.
Netflix had Attack on Titan and Death Note at one point (first time I watched both was on Netflix) but now they only have the awful Death Note movie, which I hate with a passion
Canadian netfux can eat a massive bag of penises, all they ever do is increase their prices while removing the stuff I actually liked. I cancelled after their 3rd price increase in 18 months without adding anything of value
They have Death Note, I’m watching it right now. Edit- I’m in the US
Maybe they don’t have it in Germany anymore but they do in the US. Or they added it since last time I searched for it on Netflix. I don’t have Netflix, so it’s been a while.
I would use legal alternatives… Had they the content I want…
Right now, if I want to follow an anime in Europe? Maybe first season is in netflix, but second could be in crunchyroll (maybe), then half of the third is in an obscure and unknown service… And the other half is in Amazon prime.
I want to pay the legal alternative, what I won’t do is subscribe to 6 different streaming services a month, that won’t guarantee the availability of a show even after the first month and watching ads forcedly.
Piracy is a service problem. And with streaming, we have a huge service problem.
it’s so funny too, Netflix was the service solution. Netflix and Spotify being good for a while there was the biggest hit to piracy since it’s inception.
I also wouldn’t mind paying - for a one-time purchase. Preferrably a DRMless one, otherwise I would still download a corresponding copy for actual unrestricted use.
Half the shit i want to watch isn’t available on Crunchyroll, but was readily available on Anix.
Somehow a piracy platform had integration with Anilist, but something you pay for doesn’t. Plus the price only continues to rise, but the service continues to get worse too.
It’s always a service issue. People will just find different ways to achieve the same result

They nuked the comments at crunchy. Sometimes you need the information in the comments. Sometimes you need that information on every episode of an anime series because of some failure or lack of feature.
I’m gonna miss the comment section.
Didn’t they say they removed it because there were homophobic comments under a popular BL anime? A situation that could have easily be solved with a moderation system (which I know they had because they removed comments with external links).
I guess they didn’t want to ban bigots with subscriptions.
The comment section was actually the one thing I missed when switching to a Jellyfin setup
Goodbye 9anime. We’ve had a lot of great times together.
I await the coming of 10anime.
This year feels especially brutal for media liberation. 😮💨
I have never heard of ANY of these services and I download a lot of stuff.
Same. I think those were streaming sites?
keep it local people. successful streaming means you got lucky, this time.
F
Sad
123movies said we should pay. Studios shouldn’t price gouge. Arrrgghh
The King is dead. Long live the King. The people going after these sites are just playing a game of whack-a-mole. New sites will always sprout up to fill in the gap.
It’s sad to see 9anime gone…
.se mirror still up and working. looks like it was just a DMCA on the main domains.

I think I can actually list out more pirate stream sites that are still up and also older than some of these.
point being that I don’t think it’s gonna have that much on an effect, if any
