Just install mal-sync addon to update your list from any site

at some point, if they manage to make everything so difficult to get that its just not worth the time, i wonder if some start to consider if they should turn their attention to striking back. For me, watching stuff is mostly letting focus on other things than how shitty the world is. If all of it was taken away from me, i dont know what i would do.

Find your preferred alternative on piracy.moe based on your use case. I use Nexus for streaming and nyaa+sonarr for batch downloads.

If you scroll down to the comments on any anime on the site, this comes up. Also, trying to play anything on the site gives you a notice that their data center burned, so nothing can actually be played. They're only still letting people access the site so users can back up their lists for export elsewhere.

Ah so that's what happened !! I wonder what extension can I use now as a replacement for AnimeKai on Aniyomi ?
