AnimeKai, one of the biggest pirated anime streaming sites, has gone offline

AnimeKai, one of the largest pirated anime streaming sites, has shut down.

The operator told users to save their lists and bookmarks before the site went offline.

The shutdown was linked to recent site problems and a fire-related incident at NorthC’s Almere data center.

Reports suggest the facility’s power infrastructure was affected, rather than AnimeKai’s servers directly.

The closure highlights how legal pressure, outages, and operator exits are shrinking anime piracy platforms.
