Fmovies, which the film industry group also called the "world's largest piracy ring," is said to have drawn more than 6.7 billion visits between January 2023 and June 2024. Launched in 2016, the Hanoi-based outfit included pirate sites bflixz, flixtorz, movies7, myflixer, and aniwave.

i've never heard of a single one of those

The MPA is so out of touch. Let's not tell them.

Aniwave is very unfortunate, it was the best for streaming anime. Haven't heard of the others though.

i'd put my money on there being another "aniwave" soon, rather than streaming anime is gone forever

the fact that these morons think that piracy depends on some singular centralized "mothership" that controls everything just demonstrates how clueless they are

these fellas ain't too bright. let's continue to allow them to think they are.

Aniwave was probably the best anime streaming site, mainly because its the only one with a functional watch together feature. I also haven't heard of any of the others though.

Aniwave (formerly known as 9anime) was, from what I understand, the site most people fled to after KissAnime bit the dust.
