Hey people! I mostly watch anime on Kissanime website and the ads are really irritating. I don't want to find out the secret trick for my dingo which will keep ladies happy. I need to learn to block ads on that site as they detect as blocker and stop the stream. Post suggestions and tricks. Or suggest any other website/any source which provides the same/better quantity and quality as Kissanime.

PS: I am creating thread here in chit chat cause Kissanime isn't legit source to watch but I surely can't afford to buy any of those series.

I personally don't use anime streaming sites but maybe @SaiyanGoku can help you finding better better sources.

I use Kissanime only because they have subtitles enabled for Subs. Otherwise It's so hard to find the right subtitles as we dont even know the language. I do not watch Dubs.
How else you watch anime series then?

I get it from hi10anime or animeout. The latter has an almost direct download option. Hi10 would require you to sign in IIRC.

Edit: Kissanime works just fine with uBlock Origin chrome extension and hosts file from adaway android app.

I am using uBlock on Firefox and it doesn't work, Kissanime detects the adblocker and stop the video after 5secs.
Could you explain a bit more about this adaway file? Will it work only in Chrome?

I will definitely checkout both the sites mentioned above. Thanks alot!

Also, if you people are downloading from torrents? Do you get good subs in the same torrent too? Or you need to search separately?

That hosts file works on a system level to block ad websites. You need to replace the hosts file located in "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\" with the one from adaway app located in "\System\etc\" of a rooted android phone.

Just add these ad servers (first 3 files) in your Windows hosts file.

Copy the servers from those TXT files, and add them to Windows Hosts file.

Subbed anime itself means subs are inbuilt in files,you don't search for anime subtitles separately like those for movies/tv shows.Torrents are the 1st place where majority of anime subbing groups release their files for general public outside of IRC.It is also recommended to become a member of some major anime pvt torrent tracker for ease of downloading.I use all,public torrents pvt torrents as well as IRC(downloaded ~230gb of one piece from irc only)..

How do I get private tracker? I just go to poratebae(just don't want to mention here) site and and download the series based on seeders. How to join or follow IRC group? You mean Reddit?.

Actually I am hearing this first time that there is such a group to get updates on anime release/downloads. I have never seen any series/movie on 60fps. Would like to see how it is.

You don't go to the bay for anime downloads. There is nyaa dot si. Choose anime english translated category and search.

Guys thanks alot for suggestions. I will be ditching Kissanime entirely and go for other sites which offer better experience.

But for the sake of knowing how to use adaway, I am editing my host file. But the text files on those GitHub links contains so much of data. Do I need to copy everything from all the 3 files and paste all in host file?

I use Firefox to browse and do not want to switch for now. I tried Nano defender beta version of Firefox and it didn't work. Kissanime detected the ad blocker and stopped the video stream.

I also want to try this windows host file edit and see if it works. Help me out here.

No 60fps but I do download 2gb episodes of 1080p anime,a single series sometimes takes ~30-40gb.:)

I once used KissAnime but I was banned from downloading from its site...don't know why. so, ditched it.

There are much better sites than KissAnime who don't annoy with Ads! and even have 1080p version of gr8 quality

I am about to sign up for the private tracker on this site. Should I do this with VPN? If I do not use VPN while downloading from this tracker, will my ISP find out and is it possible they take any legal action against me? Basically I don't want to go jail.

Relax,you are in India not North Korea.Nobody cares about piracy unless you are releasing Indian movies before their cinema premier & do it in a very public manner while asking for money.

Lol that's true.
Now only limit is hard disk space.25TB is still not enough.:D

Using a vpn to browse on most private trackers is against their rules however you can use vpn to download torrents or use a seedbox to do the work check the rules section of the tracker before using a vpn

Its quick to upload the latest episodes but their servers aren't good enough to take too much load, you get 1Mbps during such times, so no 720p streaming.

Don't take it otherwise but your understanding of law is completely wrong in this regard.There is a concept of locus standi in law which basically means the right to file a case.e.g.you can not file a complaint of theft in police station/court that happened in your neighbour's house,only he can.Similarly an ISP can not do anything regarding a copyright violation unless the copyright holder first complains to that ISP.

Use windscribe, you get 10GB pm for free. Use my referral, both of us will get 1GB per month extra: Windscribe

I feel 10GB is enough unless you watch like a lot of anime

Windscribe is good but the point here is that "using VPN in Indis for torrent/anime downloading is pointless". Sure you can(& should) use VPN for posting comments anonymously on sites regarding important Indian politicians but that's it.

Just a bit late. I already started using windscribe from last month. whitestar suggested me this free vpn long back.

Anyway. I guess I will just leave that Kissanime and blocking the ads on it. But I would say, it was easier to watch with all the episodes listed, without needing to download and high speed download or buffer free stream. Currently I am using h10 and animeout where I need to download each episode to watch. I tried nyaa too, and started downloading torrent from there but then speed was slow. Will try more suggestions posted here on this weekend.

I know, it's just for the paranoid ones. Even in the US, you get fined mostly for downloading pirated content via torrents because you are uploading as well in case of torrents. So stay out of torrents, you should be fine.

Actually that's true mostly for newly released movies/bluray movie rips/music albums/popular costly commercial softwares. At least I have never seen any online comments about user getting notice for anime torrent downloading on popular public torrent sites.Even in those cases you first get a letter of warning from ISP & only after repeated behaviour will result in disconnection of your net.

I think in the US they might be fining people even if the original owner doesn't send any notice. But from what I know, torrent attract fines, so better not use it here.

In India people won't even buy those stuff legit way, so better get brand exposure via piracy. Windows can crack up on pirated Win10 very easily but they won't, especially in developing countries. If they start doing it, linux wins.

IIRC In the US there are 3rd parties who send infringement notices to users and extort money. They get the IP address from public torrents.And then first contact ISP to provide contact details of the user. Some ISP then have 3 strikes warning to the user .

Exactly,there are 3rd parties hired by copyright holders who send notices on behalf of them.ISPs by themselves have no authority to issue any warning letter regarding copyright,they can only issue warning in case of network abuse(aka someone running his/her 1gbps home connection at 100% capacity all the time for weeks).

Guys, that 9anime site doesn't have all the animes. Also, Kissanime has 1080p streaming for some series which aren't available on 9anime. There also seems to be lots of 9anime. May be I am using wrong one. Could anyone provide link??

I am comfortable streaming online as opposed to downloading every episode before watching. So I am back to Kissanime for now.
animeout mostly has 720p so I am not using it anymore. H10 is great but I need online streaming. So I am basically back to Kissanime with ads. That nano defender thing was not compatible with Firefox and wasn't working. Kissanime successfully detected adblocker and stopped the streaming.

That does make more sense. Because when I tried just nano defender, my streaming was blocked and ads were showing. So they successfully detected my blocker and managed to show me ads too.

In Chrome, I uninstalled the nano defender. I have already uninstalled uBlock Origin. Removed history and clear data for last 1 week. Then installed nano adblocker and then nano defender. But I am still getting the same message as "I have been banned for few days" for using adblocker.

I can use 9anime but it doesn't have settings to play 1080p stream. Also few of series was not available. Kissanime is really one of the best anime streaming site, only if wasn't irritating.

At this moment I am watching Great Teacher Onizuka on 9 anime but suddenly videos aren't loading anymore, on Firefox browser. So I am back to using Kissanime. Sigh.

I installed both of them when I initially read about it in reddit. So maybe wait it out. BTW I always watch anime in incognito mode, I remember receiving a ban but next time I visited with nano installed, had no issues. I am happy with 720p streaming w/o buffering, so I do have other options like chia-anime & animotime.
