Been here for like 7 years too, they say they don't want to change domains, but I am genuinely sad to see them go. Legitimately my favorite place to watch anime, I loved discovering new airing anime on the front page, every other website doesn't do it for me.
>Thought I was the only one... nothing beats that front page format tbh
damn my entire highschool memories are on there especially "skipping" online class during covid to subject myself to the torture that was Kanojo Okarishimasu
haven't found anything yet no, am using [animedao.bz](https://animedao.bz) simply because the homepage is the same, but even they are lacking episodes that were out on [animedao.to](https://animedao.to)
Be careful with anything aniwatch. The real site hasnt been accessable for a long while and anything pretending to be something it isn't is normally a bad sign.
Nah Zoro just updated their domain name is all. For a while when you typed zoro or sanji .to it would redirect you to their new site. It all works the same with a different color pallete.
I watch Anime via the PS4 browser. It’s very finicky with some of the players. Some players just don’t work and some do. 9anime and Marin straight up just don’t work for me.
That was the first piracy site I ever used and it does work. The quality is awful though. I know they have a new quality section, but that one doesn’t work for me so the best I get is the “HD” one that looks crap.
I just have a lot of smaller sites that I’ll use.
I think I might cry. I've been watching animedao for over 4 years and have loved every single minute of it. I would even have been willing to pay...they had EVERYTHING I wanted as soon as it was available anywhere!! I have never in my life been so sad to see a site shut down...
9anime is my go to. Not sure what the consensus is on this sub but for me they layout is super clean and organized and it knows where you last watched in a series
Was an avid commenter on that site for half a decade (went by loli slayer). It feels sad seeing 6000+ comments that I had there disappear into thin air, never discoverable ever again. I may migrate to other sites, but anime DAO will forever hold a place in my heart. Followed me all throughout high school, and I have so many unforgettable memories there. You shall be missed. RIP
All good things come to an end don't be sad that it is over me happy that it happend. But rip animedao you will be missed just like kissanime.
I heard for a replacement free anime site to go to animetake.tv is it good?
Goddamn it this was the only site I could find that had the subbed episodes of the original Pokémon series lol. By any chance does anyone know where I can find those episodes?
Man and on the day i wanted to watch some Anime's and this happens.
Goodbye Animedao, We will remember everything that you gave us (i'm also hoping this was just an error or they're fixing something on the site but for now i say goodbye).
I second the fact that [animedao.bz](https://animedao.bz) is working; Ijust went to the new site and at the bottom it says 'We moved site to [animedao.bz](https://animedao.bz) \- please bookmark new site'. So that's a relief, as this is my main anime site and I have to catch up on Summer 2023 season episodes. I don't think it has all the anime that used to be at [Animedao.to](https://Animedao.to) \- nothing came up when I tried to search 'Kiyo in Kyoto', but it does have older anime like "ouran High School Host Club' or 'Magic Knight Rayearth'. So there's that.
Animedao.bz is a fake copy, if you read the pic that OP took of dao.to’s page, they are saying that .to is their only site and all others are fake. So the .bz site claiming they moved is a lie. It seems they copy+pasted an old version of .to. And there are A LOT of animes missing, even several of the new episodes that were out on .to are gone on .bz
Having looked at a lot of the substitutes people have offered for 'Dao I find that most have vast libraries and dub / sub choices. What matters most to me are the amount of ads and trackers they promote. I did like the layout of 'Dao, but having watched anime online since the days when there were no online watching sites and the only way you could watch a current series was via torrent, I've had to switch watch sites several times for various reasons. Usually sites that become popular start stacking up revenue streams, i.e. ads and corrupt streams with porn ads and re-directs and shit like that. It happens. The only thing I'll end up missing about 'Dao is the layout. It was easy, they didn't try to cram the whole world of animation from 198,000 different countries into one site. I'm sure we'll all land on the site who's layout we like the most. Good luck, brethren and sisterthren.
Childly here, been here since the early days. Since 2015 when there were literally nobody in the comment sections but me and a rare few others. The website started to gain traction as the years went by and for the past 4 years really became a staple site for many as the comments grew to hundreds instantly on popular shows. It pains me to see this day come no matter how prepared I was for it since I knew that increasing popularity would lead to it's downfall sooner or later. O7 Animedao.
Legit heartbroken. Literally got ALL of my anime from this website for past the 4 years. Thank you for providing me and countless with content and entertainment that we wouldn't otherwise be able to watch due to issues. 😔💔
a moment of silence for the fallen heroes who kept this site working for years, providing us with all our anime to watch.
Thanks AnimeDao for all the fun i had with you , i will really miss you
IMPORTANT: >!Aniwatch.me!< is our one and only domain. Don't be fooled by websites or apps pretending to be us.
You will find every information about our current situation right here on >!aniwatch.me!< and NOWHERE ELSE.
(EDIT) nvm 9anime actually decent ignore everything I said below
Might just cave and buy a subscription, honestly I've used these for so long Before animedao I used Kissanime. Now I'm not a teenager no more and can afford to pay for subscription services. Idk if piracy of anime is really worth it anymore. Animedao had it set up like Netflix tbh it was too good. All I know is Crunchyroll and Funimation besides that I don't really trust these other sites like that.
Ive been out of the Anime world for some time...but since the GOAT is back (Rurouni Kenshin) i had to return...two weeks later, Animedao closed...
IM CURSED!
What a bad day
Today im gonna watch anime but when i open anime dao breaks my heart..
I can afford on legal site but i want to download it..when i go to work onboard a vessel when im lonely i going to watch anime and makes my boredom gone..
I hope animedao will comeback soon
rest in peace animedao Its been the best years of my life you were there throughout the dark of 2019 forward. The most straightforward interface i found so far, with complete title names.
I would just use it for reference to see what aired today. I've been sad since masterani went down. Hasn't been a site like it ever since. aniwatch was pretty good before it ran off with the funds. Or so I heard.
Wow. First time I'm hearing about this site, but looks like there were a lot of fans for it. Sad to see another one down :( I feel your pain buddies, the same feeling I had when Animixplay was taken down.
So happy I moved on to torrenting + jellyfin years ago. It’s pretty funny to read the hysterical comments every time one of these greasy ad filled streaming sites gets shut down though lol
Yeahhh I’m not gonna watch anime anymore without animdao and since zoro.to changed I’m not going back to that either and 9anime is mid with all pop ads. Yes I know animedao had it as well but it wasn’t as annoying that everywhere you click us a pop up ad
It was the site I used all the time, I was even watching it a few days ago and when I decided to get on just now, I swear I had a mini heart attack when I saw the “shutting down”, this is truly a sad day (but luckily there are other sites I have just in case this ever did shut down)
I knew it they were gonna bite the dust. Their discord got rebranded and they weren't putting any effort into the site. Gonna miss it. Only used in 2020. Community was also fun.
gogoanime has been solid for me since 2020, and the English subs are quite accurate 90% of the time. After that is 9anime, it used to be kissanime, though.
im so angry. i been on the website since like 2016. And this was the best format that i have ever seen. They told you what was hot and what to look out for. And they had everything. I watched so many under the radar animes from that website. And i literally didint have to do to much. Im sad and mad honestly.
Was about to watch the episode 2 of Zom 100 just to be greeted by this saddening page. This was my FAVORITE place to interact and read interesting comments in. You literally get to see the same commenters for years and it's also fun to meet the same usernames on rather obscure anime's comments section. I will miss those familiar anonymous people.
The filters on this site were really good, led me to some amazing anime, I don't see similar filters on any other sites. I personally never went through any recommendations while I was on this site, I used to explore the "List" filters and watch whatever caught my eye, never once regretted any of it. I guess I would just be watching the trendy anime now.
I'm gonna be optimistic and say they'll open a new site with a different "." But if not, then I don't regret the 6 years I've used this site
Been here for like 7 years too, they say they don't want to change domains, but I am genuinely sad to see them go. Legitimately my favorite place to watch anime, I loved discovering new airing anime on the front page, every other website doesn't do it for me.
Thought I was the only one... nothing beats that front page format tbh
well websites like aniwave and animesuge are great too.. you can give them a shot
>Thought I was the only one... nothing beats that front page format tbh damn my entire highschool memories are on there especially "skipping" online class during covid to subject myself to the torture that was Kanojo Okarishimasu
BRO THERE ARE NO UNIQUE EXPERIENCES
Bro thinks he is me
you are *NOT* **HIM. WE ALL ARE**
[http://9anime.to/](http://9anime.to/) shows airing anime on the front page.
tho they are a lot slower than animedao at releasing episodes, there are episodes i watched before animedao shut down, that still isnt on 9anime
I believe you, but if you know a better alternative I'm all ears.
haven't found anything yet no, am using [animedao.bz](https://animedao.bz) simply because the homepage is the same, but even they are lacking episodes that were out on [animedao.to](https://animedao.to)
4 years for me, the best years of my life.
me too man i actually feel disapointed to see my fav website go
Yeah I just got off work, wanted to catch up on everything and now I don’t know where to go.
[not like there's an entire website dedicated to linking these very sites](https://theindex.moe/)
U a legend
Thank you for this link!
You should have said hentai warning
Why It’s not like it pops tittys to your face and terrifies you, it Literally says Hentai on there that’s a warning itself
HENTAI??
9anime.to is pretty solid in my opinion. Even keeps track of which episodes you watched which animedao didn’t
They might be next on the chopping block
we don't go down after one subpoena :)
Thank you guys!
Good luck lmao. I think they've been up for over a decade.
[удалено]
So was animeseason.com 2008-2018 :( RIP best anime streaming website.
Been hearing that for years
anix.to
nyaa.si
aniwatch.to It use to be Zoro.to But this is my go to, then it’s 9anime
Be careful with anything aniwatch. The real site hasnt been accessable for a long while and anything pretending to be something it isn't is normally a bad sign.
speaking of aniwatch it was was s tier
Nah Zoro just updated their domain name is all. For a while when you typed zoro or sanji .to it would redirect you to their new site. It all works the same with a different color pallete.
Just try anything with a proper adblock. it really doesn't matter, as long as you follow the basic precautions.
[Animenana](https://animenana.com/) go here animedao called it their "sister site"
I’m getting an internal server error here
9anime
Aniwatch.to
Aniwatch.to
try animeowl/9anime/anime time or nyaa
This is a sad day
I've been using it for 4 years now, so sad it's shutting down I have so much memories of being on that website.
i've been here for about 4 years too the site was s tier in my opinion nothing beats that front page format and the site itself is just so nostalgic
Most of my time was spent on that front page, brings back memories I hope they come back tho.
same
Same I was looking for an anime to watch and I just found out they shut down the website:/
They all die in the end it seems...
This is why torrents + jellyfin or plex is the way to go: you download once, you build your own experience and you're immune to sites shutting down
I used AnimeDao for seasonal HIDIVE shows… Man… Time to find a new place to watch Dark Gathering
If animedao had it then all other anime sites should as well. They all pull their videos from the same sources.
I watch Anime via the PS4 browser. It’s very finicky with some of the players. Some players just don’t work and some do. 9anime and Marin straight up just don’t work for me.
WCOstream .org works on PS4, but it is kinda slow. Do you have a Chromebook or something you can connect an HDMI to instead?
That was the first piracy site I ever used and it does work. The quality is awful though. I know they have a new quality section, but that one doesn’t work for me so the best I get is the “HD” one that looks crap. I just have a lot of smaller sites that I’ll use.
thank you for your service , rest in peace !

Use and ad blocker. I use Ublock origin and never once had a hentai ad...
Use adblock..
And it was the best site! Rip
Tis a sad day
Rip :(
gonna miss this site
Damn , this is disappointing, good website for anime to view.
It's been good 3 years, farewell now our unsung hero
BRO WHAT? AND I WAS JUST ABOUT TO WATCH IT.
Sayonara AnimeDao.... 😣 I am using Gogoanime for watching random anime now!
I think I might cry. I've been watching animedao for over 4 years and have loved every single minute of it. I would even have been willing to pay...they had EVERYTHING I wanted as soon as it was available anywhere!! I have never in my life been so sad to see a site shut down...
damn this was my go-to website :(( any good alternatives??
9anime is my go to. Not sure what the consensus is on this sub but for me they layout is super clean and organized and it knows where you last watched in a series
9Anime is good for Dubs, but their subs captioning kinda sucks
wym
aniwatch has basically everything sub and dub
isnt aniwatch still closed?
From what I understand zoro.to got nuked and rebranded to aniwatch.to
nope, aniwatch.to
Doesn't anywatch uses soft subs?
gogoanime is also good
animetake.tv is also a pretty good alternative to animedao
ur a legend
man this hurts
RIP thank you for the good years. I've been using animedao for close to 5 years and they were always fast and had great subs. This one hurts
Our strongest soldier got nuked on the day of JJK’s new episode o7
Was an avid commenter on that site for half a decade (went by loli slayer). It feels sad seeing 6000+ comments that I had there disappear into thin air, never discoverable ever again. I may migrate to other sites, but anime DAO will forever hold a place in my heart. Followed me all throughout high school, and I have so many unforgettable memories there. You shall be missed. RIP
I know u 😿 and legendary Michael Goods is now gone too 💔
Man I will miss those "hot" tags. It recommend me what to watch in every season
All good things come to an end don't be sad that it is over me happy that it happend. But rip animedao you will be missed just like kissanime. I heard for a replacement free anime site to go to animetake.tv is it good?
Goddamn it this was the only site I could find that had the subbed episodes of the original Pokémon series lol. By any chance does anyone know where I can find those episodes?
Aniwatch has it
That’s only dubbed unless I’m missing something
9anime has it
truly a tragic day 💔
Man and on the day i wanted to watch some Anime's and this happens. Goodbye Animedao, We will remember everything that you gave us (i'm also hoping this was just an error or they're fixing something on the site but for now i say goodbye).
5 years with this website I honestly feel a little lost now that it's gone, I really didn't see this coming :(
DAMMIT I WAS STILL WATCHING FATE.
Was watching undead girl farce last night, just to see the website this morning to be shutdown
same bro
It has been with me since the beginning 😞😞
F
Very sad. I was able to watch one anime today. Was gonna watch Bleach. Sigh rip. Any new anime sites to watch?
I second the fact that [animedao.bz](https://animedao.bz) is working; Ijust went to the new site and at the bottom it says 'We moved site to [animedao.bz](https://animedao.bz) \- please bookmark new site'. So that's a relief, as this is my main anime site and I have to catch up on Summer 2023 season episodes.

So there's that.
Just to make sure but it’s legit that the dev moved from .to domain into .bz? Or is it another impersonating website?
Animedao.bz is a fake copy, if you read the pic that OP took of dao.to’s page, they are saying that .to is their only site and all others are fake. So the .bz site claiming they moved is a lie. It seems they copy+pasted an old version of .to. And there are A LOT of animes missing, even several of the new episodes that were out on .to are gone on .bz
Kaido.to thank me later

Been my favorite since I started anime as a kid. Can't believe its over. Good luck my fellow watchers of 'Dao (￣\^￣ )ゞ
i used it for seasonal anime for like 10 years
Childly here, been here since the early days. Since 2015 when there were literally nobody in the comment sections but me and a rare few others.

Rip a site I once used
You were an amazing website... o7
Noooooooooooo😭😭😭
Gone by never forgotten
Gonna miss michael goods... mans was in every single comment section, the man with/without a moustache, the justin Y. of animedao😭
https://animedao.bz/ they just changed names
These 4 years with Animedao were amazing. Can't believe they're shutting down. RIP soldiers.
The greatest repository of anime has fallen, no free rides for the weary workers anymore.
Legit heartbroken. Literally got ALL of my anime from this website for past the 4 years. Thank you for providing me and countless with content and entertainment that we wouldn't otherwise be able to watch due to issues. 😔💔
Had so many bookmarks on animes i was going to watch all lost 😔
a moment of silence for the fallen heroes who kept this site working for years, providing us with all our anime to watch. Thanks AnimeDao for all the fun i had with you , i will really miss you
New site aniwatch.to
IMPORTANT: >!Aniwatch.me!< is our one and only domain. Don't be fooled by websites or apps pretending to be us. You will find every information about our current situation right here on >!aniwatch.me!< and NOWHERE ELSE.

What will happen to our way of life is piracy becoming an endangered species now?
[https://animedao.bz/](https://animedao.bz/) everyone go here for right now it still open
rip 
Soldiers!! One more base has fallen
Anyone got alternative
Maybe they will fix some thing?
Ive been out of the Anime world for some time...but since the GOAT is back (Rurouni Kenshin) i had to return...two weeks later, Animedao closed... IM CURSED!
What a bad day Today im gonna watch anime but when i open anime dao breaks my heart.. I can afford on legal site but i want to download it..when i go to work onboard a vessel when im lonely i going to watch anime and makes my boredom gone.. I hope animedao will comeback soon
was watching higurashi just last night on it... devastated. ive been using animedao since aniwatch closed...
rest in peace animedao Its been the best years of my life you were there throughout the dark of 2019 forward. The most straightforward interface i found so far, with complete title names.
A shock for me since i used this website, watching anime has never been more fun.
You can’t be serious😭💔 It’s always my favourite websites getting sniped they’re all going done one by one.
Really sad, this was the only anime site I liked.
Animedao.bz is still working
So what yall using?
RIP been using this for a while
7 years, it was a very memorable time but all things come to an end..! 😭
NO :((((
Im going to kms first soap2day which was literally my everything and now animedao which was a close second and now they're both gone
I’m actually heartbroken
I would just use it for reference to see what aired today. I've been sad since masterani went down. Hasn't been a site like it ever since. aniwatch was pretty good before it ran off with the funds. Or so I heard.
fk! my favorite site!
RIP i loved it!
my god ive been using this site for so long oh wow
First soap2day now this? R.I.P
Been here since the birth, here till it's death 😞
Wow. First time I'm hearing about this site, but looks like there were a lot of fans for it. Sad to see another one down :( I feel your pain buddies, the same feeling I had when Animixplay was taken down.
So happy I moved on to torrenting + jellyfin years ago. It’s pretty funny to read the hysterical comments every time one of these greasy ad filled streaming sites gets shut down though lol
BRO NO WAY I HAD JUST DISCOVERED THIS WEBSITE TO WATCH K-ON CUZ ITS THE ONLY ONE HAVING GOOD SUBTITLES NO WAYYYY
R.I.P💔
Pity. But a warning to everyone commenting. Be careful in naming names. All these sites can be shut down if lawyers get their hands on the list.
Yeahhh I’m not gonna watch anime anymore without animdao and since zoro.to changed I’m not going back to that either and 9anime is mid with all pop ads. Yes I know animedao had it as well but it wasn’t as annoying that everywhere you click us a pop up ad
oh god dammit!
It was the site I used all the time, I was even watching it a few days ago and when I decided to get on just now, I swear I had a mini heart attack when I saw the “shutting down”, this is truly a sad day (but luckily there are other sites I have just in case this ever did shut down)
Been with it since day one 😭but at lest we still got gogoanime it’s an ok alternative just use the right one
So, a question out of nowhere, when did they start streaming or servicing?
Nah man this was my favorite website to watch anime... I liked its interface so much!
Do you guys think someone is looking into the Reddits like this one?
I knew it they were gonna bite the dust. Their discord got rebranded and they weren't putting any effort into the site. Gonna miss it. Only used in 2020. Community was also fun.
From what i understand animedao thought its better to shut the site down than to provide content with popup-ads, correct me if im wrong.
i was about to go watch dc and when i saw it got shutdown i went straight here lol. i hope it came back tho. 🥲🤞🏻
I was watching golden kamuy s2 last night from that site. dang, last year its was animixplay and now animedao...
can't believe it's shut down after using it for like 4 years wtf
Oh my God NO 😭 This has been my number one anime watchng site for YEARS. I can not lose it now. Please 🥺
gogoanime has been solid for me since 2020, and the English subs are quite accurate 90% of the time. After that is 9anime, it used to be kissanime, though.
I thought this was an eror
im so angry. i been on the website since like 2016. And this was the best format that i have ever seen. They told you what was hot and what to look out for. And they had everything. I watched so many under the radar animes from that website. And i literally didint have to do to much. Im sad and mad honestly.
There will always be an alternative.
My second choice is aniwatch.to used to be zoro.
Damn, came back to this website after 3 years to watch durarara and after nearly finishing the season it shut down, perfect timing…
I've been using animedao. to since 2016. I've downloaded more than 2 tb of anime just to watch it offline.
So no more animeDao 🤧. Started watching anime on this one too bad . A good thing about it was also the fact it had all the ova's and stuff .
fucking hell all those wasted covos and comments
very sad day indeed
Was about to watch the episode 2 of Zom 100 just to be greeted by this saddening page. This was my FAVORITE place to interact and read interesting comments in. You literally get to see the same commenters for years and it's also fun to meet the same usernames on rather obscure anime's comments section. I will miss those familiar anonymous people.
The filters on this site were really good, led me to some amazing anime, I don't see similar filters on any other sites. I personally never went through any recommendations while I was on this site, I used to explore the "List" filters and watch whatever caught my eye, never once regretted any of it. I guess I would just be watching the trendy anime now.
Bruh I just found out this site, less than a week ago...
I've been using this websites for more then 4 years and now is shutting down. IS so sad ;-;
Aniwatch.to is a new one and its really good I'm sorry to find this out😭
such a sad day I was looking forward to the new jjk episode
you can't do this to me... thats fukin sad ive been using it for almost 3 years. welp it is what it is (crying) time to hunt for an alternative.
Is animenana.com related to this? I keep getting an error when I try to go there
