Anitube (Anitube) closed? Learn more about viruses, dangers, and alternative free sites.

Have you heard of Anitube, a video distribution site that is said to have been used by more than tens of thousands of people in the past?

It used to be a free video distribution site specializing in anime, but due to a crackdown on pirate sites and illegal downloads, the original site (http://www.anitube.se/) has already been closed and replaced by this site). The original site () has been replaced by Anitube, a free video streaming site specializing in anime.

We have compiled a list of "rumors" surrounding Anitube and video (anime) distribution services that can be used in place of Anitube with peace of mind.

We also introduce services that allow you to enjoy anime videos without using illegal download sites such as Anitube.

What is Anitube?

Anitube is a video distribution site specializing in anime.

In 2017, before it was shut down, it had 80,000 online users; Anitube apparently had 50,000 anime videos.

The site was shut down after accusations of piracy and illegal downloading, as well as free distribution of famous Japanese anime.

Why can't I watch Anitube? Did it shut down?

Keywords such as "can't watch Anitube" are being searched for online, suggesting that many users have used Anitube in the past.

The reason why you can't watch Anitube is simple: the site itself has closed down.

Why Anitube was shut down

Anitube was shut down because the government required operators to block access to illegal sites.

Measures against illegal file downloads have been stepped up in recent years, and in April 2018 the Japanese government adopted "emergency measures against pirate sites on the Internet" to protect intellectual property and copyrights, making many pirate sites inaccessible.

In the age of digital networking, it is expected that a variety of services will be developed using content such as manga, anime, and movies, all of which are driving the Cool Japan strategy.

Against this backdrop, the damage caused by online piracy continues to grow. In particular, the recent emergence of pirate sites (e.g., Manga-mura, Anitube, Miomio), whose current administrators are difficult to identify and even impossible to request removal of infringing content, has concentrated the access of many Internet users and sharply reduced sales in the ever-expanding electronic comic market. The rights of copyright holders, related rights holders or publishing rights holders ("copyright holders, etc.") have been severely impaired. The rights of copyright holders, related right holders or publication right holders (hereinafter referred to as "copyright holders") are severely impaired.

One such site is "Manga Mura," which caused a great deal of controversy at the time.

Anitube seems to be regulated in the same way as these sites, and viewing is completely prohibited.

Rumor has it that only Softbank was able to view Anitube (Anitube).

At the time, there were rumors that Anitube could only be viewed with a Softbank connection.

Even before the measures against pirate sites were taken, there were reports that only SoftBank users could not view Anitube, and this rumor was believed to have spread.

Although the truth is unknown, it is said that SoftBank may have imposed its own restrictions on pirate sites.

Nowadays, it is common practice not to use illegal downloading or pirate sites, but until a few years ago, there were countless pirate sites and illegal downloads, and many people must have used them without realizing that they were wrong.

If SoftBank has come to self-regulate pirate sites, then its corporate structure is commendable.

Anitube (Anitube) illegality explained! Downloading is strictly prohibited!

Playing the video itself is not illegal. However, under the revised Copyright Act of January 1, 2021, you may be held legally liable, including criminally liable.

Downloading an illegally downloaded video is a criminal act. In addition, viewing a video knowing that it has been illegally downloaded is also a punishable offense.

Therefore, you should never download or watch anime on Anitube.

Is Anitube back?

Although there are reports that "Anitube is back," these sites can be breeding grounds for illegal downloads and piracy, so do not use them lightly.

Even if Anitube or similar "pirate sites" exist, we do not recommend using them.

dAnime Store (Free for 31 days)

dAnime Store offers the largest number of anime titles among anime sites.

U-NEXT mentioned above is suitable for a free trial, but if you want to continue the service, the monthly fee is 2,189 yen.

Therefore, for those who want to continue using the same service for many months, we recommend "d-Anime Store" (440 yen), which has the lowest monthly fee.

The reason this service is cheaper than others is because it specializes in anime and does not distribute foreign movies or dramas.

Frankly speaking, my impression of dAnime Store is that it is definitely worth more than 440 yen.

With approximately 4,000 titles available, there is hardly an anime that is not available.

And it's all completely free for 31 days.

And even if you upgrade to a paid membership, the price is 440 yen, the lowest of any distribution service. This service is a must for anime lovers, so please give it a try.

Amazon Prime Video also offers a wide variety of animated movies.

It is free for 30 days and 550 yen/month after switching to a paid membership.

Unlike the other two, a wide range of genres are available, so it is recommended for those who want to watch a variety of things, not just anime.

Recently, the exclusive advance distribution of the theater version of "Shin Evangelion" has become a hot topic. Thanks to the wide range of original and exclusive distribution, the monthly fee of 550 yen is a very reasonable video service (those who often shop at Amazon will definitely benefit from this service).
