Kissanime : 10 Best Alternatives & Similar Sites To Kiss Anime

Posted on the 12 April 2019 by Bhangad12

Kissanime : 10 Best Alternatives & Similar Sites To Kiss Anime – KissAnime was one of the most beloved websites for streaming and watching anime. In 2018, the creators started implementing a very derisive ad-block policy. Users who were using an ad-blocker would no longer have access to the site.

The admin began deliberately IP banning anyone using ad-blocker software. If you are banned, you can’t even access the site, save for a splash screen that lets you know you are banned.

Many users pointed out how hypocritical this was, considering that KissAnime specialized in streaming illegal content. A lot of Otakus and anime lovers weren’t too thrilled by someone monetizing stolen content.

The site had already been losing favor with fans because of their intrusive pop up ads as well as their human verification ads. It seems that KissAnime overestimated its worth and underestimated its user base.

They simply forgot that the internet is saturated with competition and there are plenty of alternatives. You can’t simply hold pirated content for hostage on the internet.

In this guide, we’re going to introduce to ten of the most popular alternatives to KissAnime. Most of the entries on this list are either on par or better than Kiss Anime. Without further ado.

Top 10 Best KissAnime Alternatives

1. Anime Heaven

Where does anime go when it dies? Trick question cause anime will never die. However, you can find the best selection of dubbed and subbed anime on Anime Heaven.

What makes this site stand out from the rest is not just its extensive library of anime movies and series but its extremely well-designed interface and website.

The best part about it is you can switch from a light theme to a dark theme at will. Most illegal streaming sites don’t pay attention to such detail.

It’s an extremely well-crafted site. It’s consistently updated with the latest series which can be spotted and accessed directly from its homepage. In addition to this, it doesn’t spoil its beautiful aesthetic with unnecessary ads.

It has hour to hour updates as well as airing for shows. Late in 2018, it was announced that the site would shut down. Luckily, this was just a false alarm, as the site is still accessible.

Anime Heaven isn’t just an alternative to Kiss Anime, it’s superior in nearly every way. We highly recommend it to anime lovers and Otakus of all types.

2. Anime Freak

There’s a good reason why AnimeFreak comes second on this list. It offers one of the largest databases for HD anime series and movies. Much like KissAnime, it’s completely free of charge and users can stream anime without signing up for an account.

You can easily browse through its massive collection of anime shows and movies through categories that include popular anime, latest and genres.

Each category holds a massive catalog that is updated regularly. Because of the site’s navigability and ease of use, it’s one of the best alternatives to KissAnime. Anime Freak (or AFTV) has millions of users worldwide.

If you’re looking for a specific anime, you can use the search bar or peruse through its categories. It’s a well-organized site with plenty of content that is updated daily. It can be a bit overwhelming sometimes, especially if you’re visiting the website for the first time.

If you’re planning to stream content through your mobile device, Anime Freak has apps for both Android and iOS devices. Which means you don’t have to visit the website to access Anime Freak’s content.  This is very convenient.

Once again, if you’re looking for an alternative to KissAnime or Anime Heaven, you should definitely give this website a try.

4. 9Anime

The best thing about 9Anime is how well designed its website is. In terms of color scheme, simplicity, and navigability, 9Anime.to blows its competitors out of the water. The user interface design beats both KissAnime and Anime Freak.

It also has plenty of dubbed and subbed content that can be streamed in HD (or lower resolution). Another advantage of using this tube site is that it has little to no ads.

9Anime allows you to explore and look for anime according to their genre, whether they’re subbed or dubbed or whether they’re trending or not.

You can also view the most recently updated anime as well as which Anime series are still ongoing. It also has a scheduling section that shows you when the next episode will be aired and uploaded. It’s very similar to a TV guide.

If you can’t find the anime you’re looking for, fret not, you can always send in a request and they’ll respond to you in a few a days. While you technically don’t have to be a member to stream content from the site, being a member allows the site to keep track of your viewing activity so it can make suggestions and your experience a little easier.

9Anime.to gets a five-star rating from us. Just be careful of any fake sites pretending to be it. There’s currently a large problem among community members who have been duped by fake sites wearing the 9Anime name and aesthetic.

5. AnimeUltima

If you’re for a place where you can make friends while streaming and watching anime, look no further than AnimeUltima. Many of the entries on this list are strictly for viewing. Some have chat functionality.

6. Crunchyroll

If you thought that Anime-Planet would be the only website there is for legal anime streaming, you were mistaken. Crunchyroll is an American distributor, publisher and licensing company focused on streaming anime and manga.

It was founded in 2006 and is now holds the title for the largest library of legal stream-able anime and manga content. It boasts a global community of more than 45 million registered users and over 2 million subscribers.

Users can also purchase anime related merchandise through its online store.  Through its app on game consoles, set-top boxes, mobile devices and more, Crunchyroll delivers content from leading media producers directly to viewers translated professionally in multiple languages.

The service is available for free or through a premium offering that allows users to watch ad-free with access to simulcasts—top series available immediately after Japanese broadcast.

If AnimePlanet was not good enough for you, Crunchyroll should be a more than worthy alternative. A premium account will cost you a minimum of $6.95 per month and can be canceled at any time.

7. Gogoanime

If you’re looking for a great place to watch both dubbed and subbed anime, Gogoanime is here to fulfill those desires.

The site is very similar to the first three entries on this list. It has a very large database where you have access to HD and SD content. The site is very minimalistic and sports an orange and black color scheme.

In terms of navigability, the site doesn’t have the same options as some of the other entries in this list but it’s still very capable. However, the site is divided into four explorable sub-categories which include: Anime List, New Season, Movies and Popular.

Other than that, the website is pretty well designed and responsive. It doesn’t seem bogged down by heavy scripts and advertisements.

You can also peruse content by genre. It’s a great mobile-friendly website with plenty of value for free. If you’re struggling with the other entries on this list, then please give this one a shot instead.

8. Chia-Anime

There are so many great entries on this list and Chia-anime (despite its positioning) is one of the very best anime streaming sites.

It also has a mobile site for users who are planning to stream content from their mobile devices. It’s completely free. However, they use ads to keep the lights on and some of the ads and scripts can be very intrusive.

Anime Frenzy is quite similar to sites like KissAnime and Anime Freak. It’s not as popular but what makes it stand out are its additional features.

The website doesn’t require you to register or sign up in order to use its content. The site doesn’t use advertisement to fund its existence. Instead, it relies on donations from its users.

It’s a very socially in-touch website. You can contact its creators through Twitter and Reddit.  Not only does it allow you to stream anime, but it also gives you the chance to stream live-action Hollywood movies as well as hentai.

Much like Chia-anime, it also allows you to read and download manga for free. A feature that most people take for granted is the ability to view content on the main screen according to a grid or list.
