Major Anime Streaming Crackdown Hits AnimeHeaven, AnimeKai, Anoboy & 200+ More

While 2025 wasn't the worst year to be a Dragon Ball fan, mainly thanks to Dragon Ball DAIMA, it has been a rough one for fans of the Dragon Ball Super manga. Continuing its extended hiatus, which began in 2024 following the passing of Akira Toriyama, only a single new chapter of the manga released in 2025. Now, with the year close to ending, and there still being no sight of Dragon Ball Super Chapter 105, it's clear that major changes are happening.With the end of 2025 comes the end of an era for Dragon Ball Super, and the beginning of a new one. 2024 will go down in history as the final year that new Dragon Ball anime episodes and manga chapters at least partially written by Akira Toriyama were released. When the Dragon Ball Super manga eventually returns, most likely with the long-awaited Black Frieza Saga, it will be the beginning of a new era, one where the future of the most famous Shonen series of all time will solely be guided by Toyotarou.Support The Podcast!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/roose366/subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow For More Content &Streams!Science Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/5nFXe9dPeWrMpyObyAlrnF?si=7358d1cf32cb45b7⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube Gaming: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@RooseJp/videos⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@podcastonanime⁠⁠⁠

A new mass piracy shutdown has several of the world's top illegal anime streaming sites in its crosshairs. AnimesHeaven (a mirror site of the older AnimeHeaven), 1xAnime, AnimeKai, Anoboy, 123animehub, and over 200 other movie and TV streaming sites were named in a targeted global domain sweep.Torrent Freak reports that a court in India gave movie and television rights holders the power to force domain registrars worldwide to suspend hundreds of pirate streaming sites and their mirrors. The aim is to 'slay the hydra,' essentially cutting off the ability for the sites to reappear elsewhere -- a common tactic seen when piracy sites get taken down in one location. This is a substantial blow to online piracy in general, but when it comes to anime, it means that illegal viewing sites will become even harder for fans to rely on in the near future. Popular anime streaming sites such as AnimesHeaven, 1xAnime and Anoboy are big targets, and many of the 200+ sites listed have already been temporarily disabled or had content removed.Support The Podcast!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/roose366/subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow For More Content &Streams!Science Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/5nFXe9dPeWrMpyObyAlrnF?si=7358d1cf32cb45b7⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube Gaming: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@RooseJp/videos⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@podcastonanime⁠⁠⁠

Anime films have had a landmark year in 2025 with two of the biggest franchises in the game releasing their most anticipated movies practically back-to-back. Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle broke records worldwide, and now the Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc movie is on a similar path. Although both movies showcased just how brilliant they are in their industry, the new Chainsaw Man movie wins out as the better experience over Infinity Castle.Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is beautifully made, with its high points showcasing breathtaking animation and gorgeous fight sequences. However, Infinity Castle's greatness is consistently disturbed by pacing challenges that ultimately weren't handled as well as they could've been. Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc circumvents this problem by not tiring its audience with unnecessary and abrupt backstories or expositions. Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle may have carried more hype and set impressive records, Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc will go down in history as the better film once the hype dies down and the world weighs in.Support The Podcast!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/roose366/subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow For More Content &Streams!Science Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/5nFXe9dPeWrMpyObyAlrnF?si=7358d1cf32cb45b7⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube Gaming: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@RooseJp/videos⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@podcastonanime
