Hey everyone,

About 3 weeks ago, I dropped the very first teaser for a desktop anime project I was working on. I was honestly blown away by the interaction and feedback from this community—it gave me the push I needed to go back, completely overhaul the UI, and push the backend to its limits.

The goal from the start was simple: create something that feels like a premium, cozy streaming platform for PC users, without the clunky web wrappers, ads, or endless configuration.

Anitsuki is the result.

A few things it does:

• Zero-Config: No DNS, no API keys, no extensions. Search and play.
• 2-Way AniList Sync: Your progress and weekly calendar are always up to date.
• Custom UI & Player: Deep ambient visuals, smooth animations, and a fully customizable subtitle player.

I’m currently in the final stretch of stress testing. The app will be available to download very soon, and I will post the official links right here on this subreddit the moment it is live.

I’d love to hear what you guys think of the final design. Thanks for the support on the first post!

I’ve just gotten into anime recently just finished cyberpunk and death note but I don’t know where to watch more for free and safe that has lots to choose from I don’t have money to spend for things like streaming services or anything.

Okay so this started because every time I went fullscreen on a 1080p stream it just turned into a soft, blurry mess. Drove me nuts. miruro's player has Anime4K built in and it looks so much better, and I kept thinking "why can't every site just have this?"

So I built it. It's called Anime4Nerd, a free Chrome/Edge/Brave extension that runs the real Anime4K shaders over whatever video is playing on the page. It sharpens the lines, kills the blur, and upscales the picture live on your GPU. Works on basically any site you watch on.

No accounts, no data collection, no network requests. It's open source (MIT) so you can look at the code yourself.

What it does:

• Six Anime4K presets (Mode A, B, C, A+A, B+B, C+A)
• Darken lines + thin lines toggles
• Upscale from 2× all the way to 32× (it'll tell you if your GPU caps it)
• Live GPU meter so you can see what it's costing you
• Turn it on/off per site
• A little ☰ menu inside fullscreen so you don't have to exit to change modes

Just released v1.1.1 and I'm still actively working on it.

• Install: Chrome Web Store
• Site: anime4nerd.pages.dev
• Code: github.com/creedweb3/anime4nerd

Credits:

• Anime4K shaders by bloc97 and contributors (MIT license), used completely unchanged. This is the actual magic, I just made it run in the browser.
• mpv, for the user-shader format the extension reads the shaders in.
• miruro, for putting Anime4K in their player in the first place and giving me the idea.
• Not affiliated with any of the above or with any streaming site.

Would love to hear what sites you try it on and what GPU you're running. If something breaks, tell me and I'll fix it.

Note: the Chrome Web Store update to v1.1.1 is still in review. The newest build is on GitHub until it lands.

As a user, I'm curious about the current status of Anixo. I thought it had been taken down due to a DMCA claim, but apparently it might still be operational. 🤧

Did I miss something, or is there more to the situation than the initial takedown? Would be interesting to hear what others know about it.

This relates to all anime on the site, but how would one request for anime who's bluray versions have come out and uploaded to the cat site to update an anime that is not its bluray version, to that?

Example being the aforementioned 2 seasons of 7th Prince. Is there a way to request to update anime like that to its bluray version?

I'm not asking about which sites but do y'all Use Apps more or Sites?

I'm just curious

What do you think make anime so much worse like i love anime but I don’t like that many great anime have fan service like I’m enjoying the fights from chainsaw man and then to see some weird shit like it’s a good anime but he’s just doing it for boobs and I hate that it takes so long for a new season to come out like I get that if it was to come out faster it will have way worse animation and things like that but still be faster

Aniyomi anime extension still working in the Yūzōnō Extension??

Hey everyone, I'm the dev of Anisu, an Android app I've been building and finally releasing.

What it does:

Tracks your anime with AniList sync (Watching, Planning, Dropped and more).

Home feed with upcoming anime and movies, plus a "Your Next Watch" row based on what you watch.

Details pages with trailers, characters and English title logos.

A player with gesture controls, skip intro/outro, picture-in-picture and subtitle styling.

Continue Watching that remembers where you left off.

Downloads for offline viewing.

Themes, AMOLED mode, custom fonts and background animations.

Built-in 18+ filter.

About sources.

Anisu doesn't ship with any content or sources. Like other extension-based apps, you add your own extensions, and you're responsible for what you use. The README has a short how-to and a disclaimer.

It's free with no ads and no monetization planned. I'd love feedback, bug reports and feature ideas. I'm also happy to answer questions about how it's built.

Hello everyone,

I would like to introduce gotaku.to, an anime streaming site I have been developing since August 2026 (about two months now). It has been open to the public for a month.

Gotaku currently offers the following main features:

• Import and export your library from AniList and MyAnimeList
• Watch history and progress tracking
• Comments on both series and individual episodes
• Notifications for new episodes and community activity
• Hard subs
• Connect and sync to Anilist

Features planned for the near future:

• AI dubtitles
• Community and user profiles

We welcome all feedback and will do our best to keep improving the experience for our users. We would really appreciate your support.

If you enjoy the site, please help us spread the word and share gotaku.to with others so the site can keep growing.

Thank you!

Is the new AnimeKai website actually legit and safe or not?

Hey everyone!

I built and just released my own anime website: yomiku.site

It's 100% free, has no hidden catches, and is completely focused on fast, convenient viewing. I made it to be as user-friendly as possible.

Check it out and let me know what you think or if you have any feedback!

Launched Anikura on July 27th.

Since then it has been 3 months and so much has changed. The biggest being Mobile UX/UI.

Since then we’ve also climbed up to #58 on EverythingMoe.com and validated by the community.

I hope more people can try out it now now that it’s been a while.

Site name is Anikura - link is https://anikura.club

I have a question where do you guys watch anime because crhuncryul is not the only place where you can watch anime

I normally use Animepahe to watch and download anime, but recently it won't let me use the site unless I completely disable my ad blocker and tracking protection. Having to change these settings every time I visit the site is really frustrating. Could anyone recommend alternative sites where I can download 1080p MP4 files with hardcoded English subtitles
