What is kissanime?

Kissanime was a popular website that offered users access to a vast library of anime content for free. It was known for its extensive collection, including both popular and obscure titles, often available in multiple resolutions and with subtitles.

However, Kissanime was also a notorious platform for copyright infringement and illegal streaming. It operated without the permission of the copyright holders of the anime it hosted. This resulted in significant financial losses for the anime industry and creators.

Due to these issues, Kissanime faced legal pressure from copyright holders and was eventually shut down in 2020. The site's closure was widely celebrated by the anime industry as a victory against piracy. While many mirror sites and alternatives have since emerged, none have achieved the same level of popularity as the original Kissanime. Using such sites continues to raise ethical and legal concerns related to supporting intellectual property rights and avoiding potential malware risks associated with unofficial streaming platforms.
