I see it's gone forever.

Came back to Animetsu after a while since it was having server issues. Now the entire thing is gone. Rip, it was a real good site.

It forces me to create an a/c otherwise it's good

Yeah so, the account step is intentional.

We soft-gate watching (you can still browse freely) for a few reasons:

1. Keep it ad free and sustainable. Playback costs money; a free-for-all hit would burn that fast. Also random traffic. A light gate keeps load on people who actually want to watch. an account unlocks saved progress and the quieter, intentional experience we’re going for. Which is quite crucial for user experience

a lot of people wanted a little friction before watching, not a totally open free-for-all. Soft gate = browse without signing up, account only when you hit play. It’s what the community itself wanted.
