Aniwave is closed forever!

Just like any other illegal and pirated content website from history, Aniwave said goodbye! to its millions of monthly users.

The website was a go-to platform for anime lovers to download and watch free anime movies, dramas, web series, and more.

However, it was operating illegally without giving credit to any creator, rights holder, or licensing company.

Here’s the last closing message posted on Aniware.to (current official website for aniwave):

Aniwave farewell message!

The owners behind AniWave publically embraced their fate and illegal activities and said:

"Every game must have an end...and life is about experiences. Every mistake teaches us lessons that help us grow."

They added further:

"If possible, please use legal paid services. It’s something we should do to show our respect for creators and content producers."

Covering their wrongdoings and illegal activities, they went on to say that Aniwave (9Anime) was created to enhance products and improve user experience by fostering competition and they believe everything is improved now.

So that’s why they are closing aniwave.

While this reason for closing Aniwave looks made up, as a similar message was posted on AnimeSurge.to and Anix.to when these sites went down.

Chances are the owners of these sites are the same but able to hide their identities.
