Just found this on their twitter

"Hi everyone, we've rebrand 9anime to https://aniwave.to. Please check it out and bookmark the new domain. Thanks!"

This is on the main page

"Because of DMCA issues and multiple ISPs blocking our domain, by the end of 2023, we decided to rebrand 9anime as AniWave. This new wave aims to bring even better things to anime fans."

I rly feel like a new one should be made instead. The current is too cute & wholesome to takeover IMO.

Don't have to delete those existing posts, but there's only 5 posts from 6 years ago. I say someone should go for it

Good to know that it is not just a hacked webforward to get our credentials as the rebranding seems not to remember our login states.

u/Spyrox171 avatar

This is going to happen pretty often though, since ISPs and DMCA issues are common for anime websites. I've seen some places rebranded 3 times in a year. I personally don't care what its called, all I know is that OG 9anime was the best place to get anime.

More replies

This is fine. A little head up would have been great..

Now, can u make it so that I stop getting redirected to my Walmart app every god damn time I click on something... these stupid redirected pop-ups are effing annoying

u/myx- avatar

Ublock Origin exists

The hell is that?

No way. broski I hope you haven't been using the Internet without an adblocker or pop-up blocker. simple addons everyone should be using.

I just use a strict pop up blocker and it works like a dream! Absolutely fantastic, never have to worry about pop ups ever again.

u/myx- avatar

Prefer the 9anime logo over the aniwave logo so I hope they revert the changes or keep the alternative URLs as 9anime

More replies
u/Vii_Arious avatar

Yeah. But they've been reported to various anime license holders, so Aniwave will be dead soon.

No worries, they'll just rebrand again.

the word anime is copyrighted or what? wont this just keep happening?

More replies

at least it's still purple this time

u/myx- avatar

This time?

a year or 2 ago they revamped the site a bit and used a green color scheme for like a day

Green? Wasn't it blue?

Oh yeah you're right my bad

u/Iamfrenchcanadian avatar

yes

u/banhana444 avatar

Bro that was like 2 months ago... right?

u/myx- avatar

Wtf why

it was a redesign attempt. People raged so hard about it being green instead of purple that 9anime changed it to what we have now.

One of many threads about it here.

they should have had some kind of notifications saying they are going to do this. well im just relieved i thought i had some kind of hack in my pc that forces me to redirect to a malware infected clone site is how i felt and with some extremely high level of googling skills ended up here.

u/Rushmoon avatar

I doubt the hack would've been put onto YOUR pc, and then to specifically redirect you from a Pirate anime site to another Pirate anime site just to get your credentials.

But I also checked the reddit to see what's up with the new name, so you're not alone in that for sure.

But a lot of sites have some different name for the actual host of content as to avoid some legalies or make it more difficult to be taken down.

u/russellhackgood avatar

Was wondering the same thing.

I just experienced the same thing. No longer shows my previously viewed episodes all the info is gone! Don't know what's up with that, but this is seriously annoying.

u/ZGMF-X09A_Justice avatar

My info is still there. I thought it was gone too, but then I realized I was just logged out.

Lucky you. Mine is all gone. Watch history, ratings, everything...

u/orderinthefort avatar

Always keep a local copy of any and all important data. The internet is not reliable and things can easily be lost, unlike the common saying that nothing ever disappears from the internet. It does disappear, quite often.

u/Throwawayfichelper avatar

Yup. This is why i refuse to make a MyAnimeList account - just got myself an Excel spreadsheet where i note the anime, if i've seen it and if i would rewatch or recommend to someone (or if i never want to see anything about it ever again it was that bad lol).

You should find a way to keep track of The episodes you watched But Did you get your info back?

More replies

Didn't realize til I saw this thread. Crazy.

Don't tell me that they're going to keep anix .to watermark on the new website :(

Even less intrusive than the old watermark and still easily ignored, I don’t see the issue here.

i thought aniwave was a hacked site lmao

u/r00tOfDavid avatar

I was just wondering the same thing. Was this an intentional name change or did the DNS entries get hijacked? Don't want to put in my creds if it's not legit.

u/myx- avatar

Seems legit. Logged in with my 9anime login info and I have everything but watch history.

u/r00tOfDavid avatar

It's a bit sus that they haven't updated the links on the .me page, but maybe they just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Same, thought my eyes were deceiving me

Is it only me or the wabsite now rederects.... i didnt before, at least not 4 me since i use private dns and brave....

When I use my tv internet it still lets me use 9anime

Aniwave's ads are immensely worse than 9anime. I used to have to deal with 3 at most, but now I have to close 7 on average. It's getting adblocked by me at this point. Some ads even crash the browser.

u/myx- avatar

Why were you not using an ad blocker in the first place?

Btw use Ublock Origin. Best ad blocker out there

First Kissanime back in 2020 now 9anime. Basically both anime websites that made my anime life now gone. At least Aniwave is still the same as 9anime. But the name 9anime will be missed.

yeah 9anime now has a bunch of sus ads

u/myx- avatar

All 9anime sites are fakes. 9anime is now aniwave

Whoever came up with the new name is a literal idiot. I’m not good at naming shit either lol but “aniwave” is straight up trash

u/karljh avatar

Bruh this is the worst decision ever. It's always been 9anime. AniWave??? What an ugly name. Cmon bro WTF??? They can't be serious? I don't believe for a second that all the problems that they had couldn't be resovled with a little tweaking. This is lazy work.

AniWave is more catchy name imo

Yeah i do prefer the name but the logo's terrible. The purple play button would have worked for any new name - i don't get why they felt the need to change it too.

Aniwave stopped working today so I went back to 9anime and it’s 99% less ads.

u/AutoModerator avatar

Hello, you appear to have mentioned something about advertisements! At least, I think so at any rate.

If so, then please direct yourself to the following information on this matter!

 

Most popup and redirect advertisements originate from the Video servers instead of 9Anime, as a result the 9Anime team is unable to remove or modify said advertisements as much as they wish they could. The only solution is to use an adblocker, preferably one that has been configured to not entirely break the site itself.

If you're using a mobile device, then check out out this announcement post on the matter! Or if you're using a Desktop PC, then check out our FAQs instead. Specifically the section titled "Blocking Advertisements!" for information about setting up an adblocker.

 

If your post isn't about advertisements, then I apologize! There's only so much a automated system can understand about the situation. But my master got tired of constantly responding to the same questions day after day because people can't seem to find the announcements on the matter.

However, if your post was about advertisements but isn't covered by the above information... Such as the filters needing a update then please ping the moderator Sorrow-San on the matter. Although, please note that DMs are not a recommended method of contact, and it'd be better to send a private message instead.
