I got the lifetime access so I wouldn’t have to worry about ads not popping up as much as they do, and didn’t check this before but from what I’ve checked there is no dubbed versions on here. I wanted to switch to dub because the sub is timed to what they say in the show so it’s very fast and if multiple people talk it cuts it off also sometimes doesn’t work if they translate a sign/text. It’s not the end of the world but I’m still new to the app. So it could be me just not digging enough. Also it says the lifetime is $40 but I got charged 60 which is an insane amount of tax or just a mislabeled price. Other than that they have an almost endless amount of anime and anything I could want to watch and the interface is quite easy to navigate it’s not as nice as Crunchyroll but I still like it.
I tried giving HiAnime a chance, but the ridiculous number of ads absolutely killed any enjoyment. I get that free platforms need ads to survive, but this is just insane. You can’t even watch 2 minutes of anime without being bombarded by pop-ups, redirects, and unskippable ads—sometimes back to back! It feels more like a scammy ad farm than a streaming site. Every time I click anything, another ad opens. And don’t even think about full-screening or pausing—it triggers even more junk! It’s honestly impossible to focus on the anime when you’re constantly closing tabs and trying to avoid shady links. I came here to watch anime, not to play whack-a-mole with sketchy ads. Either reduce the ads or at least make them less invasive. Until then, I’m done with this site.
I downloaded this app probably two weeks ago. In that time the app was running fine without problem. Recently when i tried watching something it would say “ error please check connection “ before i was able to still watch some anime without the error coming up but now, any anime that i try to watch brings up this error sign. Many others could be affected by this. We hope there will be a resolution soon, thanks.
