Fmovies takedown "is a stunning victory," MPA CEO Charles Rivkin said.

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.

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

The original site was this.

Those are fake mirrors completely missing aniwave’s core features: account watchlists, auto skip intro/outro, auto next, watch together, and the comments don’t even work.

Wouldn’t surprise me if they’re missing the majority of Aniwave’s library too

Edit: The search is horrifically basic too. No filters at all, seriously? The clones don’t even try to compete 🤦‍♂️

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.

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

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