Hi, so basically my question's in the title. Trying to find KissAnime's site to rewatch some good 'ol Naruto Shippuden dub, I've been following it as it occasionally jumps domains, it's changed names too along the way. I think first it was KissAnime, then GogoAnime, then finally Anitaku. .ru, .to, .bz, I forget where else it's been. Did Daddy Don seize it? Thanks. If this kind of question isn't allowed you're welcome to scream at me, call me names, delete this, etc., thanks 👍

It shut down 5 years ago due to growing pressure from Japanese copyright holders.

As Kolanaki said, copyright holders killed it.

If you're looking for alternatives give Hayase (formerly Miru) a try.

The site works fine for me, but the same software is available from Github if desired.

Note I'm recommending anime streaming software (instead of an Anitaku-like site) because it's a bit less likely to be taken down.

I... I'm pretty sure kissanime has been dead for years now at this point??

I have no idea what you're talking about, but I think you dropped this: .com.ru

I know two 9anime copycats, and they are excellent
