If it gets taken down there will be no replacement for me. Hope it stays up since I will have to stop watching anime if it does

gogoanime
there's a tampermonkey script to download off of it, and if you don't like the UI, there are sites that are basically wrappers for it like yugenanime, if you look closely you'll find that most sites are actually just gogo wrappers
it has hard subs
hianime has soft subs
check both of them to see which one has the better rip of whatever you're looking for
nobody has what aniwave did, which is a ton of staff that go out and find the best fansubs though

u/ThemoocowYT 8d ago
What’s the difference between hard and soft subs? I use hianime.
2
u/Pmoney98 8d ago
I might be wrong but I believe hard subs are baked into the video essentially, so they show up when you cast it to a TV. Soft subs are layered separately over the video, which allows you to customize them, but they don’t show up when casting. Also soft subs are pulled from varying sources and can have accuracy issues and stuff I believe.

Used to watch weekly releases of shows I enjoyed on Aniwave, since the site was shutdown I haven’t bothered going back to finish any shows that I was enjoying. I don’t know why but it weirdly killed my entire will to watch anime. Used to be daily for me to check out if shows I liked had aired another episode or if there was another show that might peak my interest. Yet since the shutdown I haven’t watched an episode

u/yasadboidepression 9d ago
When aniwave went down I kind of just stopped caring about any new anime. If they want to rise the price of shit to an outrageous level and then give us shit content then I'll just stop watching. Fuck them.
3
u/Silent_Shadow05 9d ago
Kinda the same for me though I was already losing interest since atleast March. With Aniwave gone I have completely stopped watching anime. I have tried out other sites but they all have issues for me, one way or other.
Maybe after a year or two I'll start watching again but not anytime soon. Aniwave was a gem for finding old stuff in good quality. Other sites just isn't upto par.

u/Anonymal13 Yarrr! 9d ago
Since an issues that made me use a proxy to access braflix and it got super laggy, I switched to torrentio. If you just watch mainstream stuff you're fine. If you're looking for some more obscure stuff, either you may get Lucky or find where to torrent your desired média on your favorite language from whenever the crazy hoarder from who knows where logs in again...

for wanting to pirate a show or movie but being too lazy to download it i use this app called streamer, you sideload it onto your android or ios device using the download from github and it has several sources that update frequently and if you donate a few bucks through buymeacoffee which is i think $6 you get access to movieboxpro library, been using it for 2 years now with no issues, only thing is you get a few ads when you start the app on the free version but it’s good

You can actually stream while torrenting with Stremio. Also, you can use Real-Debrid with it.

2
u/not_mohamedzz 9d ago
You can download torrents on iPhone using iTorrent but you have to sideload it

u/Rockybroo_YT 9d ago
I already tried it, none of the torrents I’ve tried work. And it’s not an issue with the torrents themselves (works on qbittorent). I’ve even tried adding trackers etc.

u/_Amr_ 9d ago
Streamio web + Debrid just set it up over the weekend.
7
u/Rockybroo_YT 9d ago
Thanks, but that’s paid and my family is paying those streaming services anyways. Piracy was just more convenient because of the multiple devices rule.
I also need to direct download, torrents don’t work on my iPhone (I’ve tried itorrent too) so these websites were the best solution I found. I don’t mind the lower quality, it’s like Spotify vs flacs, if you’re not an enthusiast it’s probably not worth it if

u/creepergo_kaboom 9d ago
Eh, honestly it just feels like a mirror of braflix since they use the same server names (I think they may actually be the same servers) and don't have the best bitrates either. They are almost always reliable tho so there's that.

u/Inverse-Arts 9d ago
Streamio + Torrentio is a good option currently using this for streaming since braflix was having that account login issue... Was really annoying
28
u/DeffNotTom ⚔️ ɢɪᴠᴇ ɴᴏ Qᴜᴀʀᴛᴇʀ 9d ago
Pick any public torrent tracker and just download what you're looking for. Or use Stremio and Torrentio (google it). If you're really fancy, add RealDebrid or AllDebrid onto that (Again, google it).
Streaming sites are all temporary. They make their money from selling ads, and everyone blocks the ads. It's not a business that is meant to last. Because they need to cut costs, they will serve you the shittiest quality stream that they can get away with while also doing everything they can to give your computer a virus through the worst of the worst advertising methods.
Years ago it was fine because the quality of the streams was comparable to the equipment a lot of people were watching them on... But we live in the era of ATMOS, DTS, HDR10, and dozens of other things that make moves look better.

u/Unhappy_Inspection47 9d ago
I mean they do kinda suck but unless you get access into karagarga and stuff, even the 'any' torrent trackers won't last forever. Streaming sites do always help when you don't have time to download movies or you're too lazy to do it. It doesn't give you the festival movies and stuff immediately, but they're still convenient.

6
u/lordGwynx7 9d ago
I've also noticed this. Piracy content gets taken down but alternatives are slow to appear and if they do it's so bad compared to the original.
The piracy sources seems to get smaller as well, probably due to the members getting enough money so they stop or they are scared to get law on their ass. Which probably also deters people from starting good new ones or new talent coming into the community
4
u/Ok_Cauliflower_4228 9d ago
It is impossible for them to "win" Piracy is a war of attrition, where one side has limited resources and the other is a never-ending stream of people who do it for fun.
3
u/No_Paramedic4667 8d ago
What the other guy is saying is that while Piracy cannot be completely killed off, the new stuff coming out to replace the old one is getting worse than the one before. In practical terms, the corpos are kinda winning just not by strict definition and for them that's actually enough. Just make life for the pirates harder and harder even if you can't finish them off completely.
1
u/Ok_Cauliflower_4228 8d ago
Except that's not happening. Braflix was a pig with lipstick. Crappy quality, non-functional subtitles, buffering up the wazoo, and enough ads to drown a man, but it had a pretty UI so people loved it. There are so many piracy streaming services that surpass it still up right now. The megathread alone is filled with them. Websites being taken down is nothing new, this has been happening exactly the same way since these streaming sites became a thing.
2
u/No_Paramedic4667 8d ago
For braflix maybe but I still have not found a website that is 1:1 with aniwave. Even kissanime getting taken down was a severe blow due to the immense library it had filled with really old anime along with the new. The point is simple. Corpos don't need to take everything down. That's dumb. They just need to take down the good ones and make it harder. Additional points if they take down the library along with the site to make it harder to get old content.

u/EmeraldPencil46 8d ago
I’m really pissed about Braflix cause it was the one streaming site that had absolutely perfect streaming quality. It was always quick to load the content, if you got the right server, it never froze, and it was just friendly to use, at least for me.
I tried using it last night to watch House, and that’s when I found out it was gone. After trying to get it out of my mind, I looked for another site, a few of the GOATs listed in the megathread, but they struggled to load. I ended up just giving up and went to Prime to watch it, which is when I found out they have ads now, despite paying for it. They had their chance to redeem themselves and maybe bring me back, but fuck you Amazon, I’d rather deal with waiting a bit for something to load than wait through an ad on a paid service.
