About Anistream
A focused portal for anime fans
Quiet, fast, and built to respect the show you came to watch.
Anime is more than entertainment. It is emotion, craft, and stories that stay with you long after the credits. From peak battles to quiet character moments, it has become essential for millions of fans worldwide.
Anistream exists because finding a good place to watch should not feel like work. Too many sites bury playback under noise. We built something calmer: a modern library, a player that loads quickly, and tools that stay out of your way until you need them. Watch in HD with subtitles or dubs, pick up where you left off, and optionally connect AniList so your list and progress stay aligned with the account you already use.
Fast, reliable anime streaming
Built for speed and day-to-day watching. Pages load quickly, playback stays smooth, and the experience is tuned for phones, tablets, and desktops alike.
HD quality
Stream in high definition when the source allows it. Pick what fits your connection without fighting the player.
Pick up anywhere
Local watch history and resume in this browser. Sign in with AniList and your list, favorites, and progress can follow your account too.
Start instantly
Browse and press play without a paywall. AniList is optional and unlocks sync when you want it.
Anistream × AniList
We integrate with AniList so you do not have to rebuild your anime life in two places. Sign in once from the header and Anistream can work with the same account you already curate elsewhere.
- Your list — view and manage anime on your AniList from Profile.
- Favorites — heart titles on detail pages and keep them in sync with AniList favorites.
- Watch progress — local resume in the browser, plus list progress updates on AniList when you pass the halfway point of an episode (unless you turn on incognito watch).
- Notifications — airing and activity updates in the header when you are signed in.
- MAL import — bring a MyAnimeList XML export into your AniList list from Profile → Account when you are ready to migrate.
You can still watch without signing in. AniList is there when you want a single source of truth for what you are watching and what is next.
Accessibility & playback controls
Preferences live in the player and under Profile → Accessibility. They are saved in your browser so your choices stick across visits.
- Auto play — start episodes automatically when you open the watch page.
- Auto next episode — move to the next episode when the current one ends.
- Auto skip intro & outro — skip marked segments when timing data is available.
- Incognito watch — watch without writing local history or resume, and without pushing progress to AniList.
- Home continue watching — optional chip on Home for your latest local watch.
Airing schedule
The Schedule page is powered by AniList airing data. See what is broadcasting day by day without digging through social posts or spreadsheets.
- Day strip — jump across the week; today is always one tap away.
- Timeline — episodes listed in air order for the day you selected.
- Spotlight — a featured title for today’s lineup when data is available.
- Your timezone — times shown in your local offset so “airs at 9 PM” actually means your 9 PM.
How does Anistream compare to 9Anime, Aniwave, HiAnime, and similar sites?
Anistream is newer than legacy giants like Aniwave or KissAnime, so our catalogue is still growing every day. We are not here to copy a shutdown site’s exact library overnight. We are here to offer a cleaner experience while we expand: strong discovery, a schedule tied to AniList, and features many older portals never shipped.
Compared with cluttered aggregators, Anistream aims for a more modern layout and smoother navigation — search and browse flows, detail pages, watch with provider choice, and profile tools when you sign in with AniList.
Features worth exploring on Anistream include:
- Large, searchable catalogue with seasonal and trending rows on Home
- Local watch history and resume, plus optional AniList list sync
- Auto-play, auto-next, and intro/outro skip when data exists
- Airing schedule with day picker and timeline
- AniList notifications, favorites, and list management
- Incognito watch and other playback preferences in Accessibility
