Is AniWatch or HiAnime Safe for Watching Anime Online or Downloading?

Every other day we come across websites that offer a huge collection of TV Series, Movies, Documentaries, and more on their platform. Some of these websites offer viewing-only options while others allow you to watch online or download for future viewing, but the thing that is common among all these websites is that they are completely free to use and never legal. One such website that is becoming increasingly popular is AniWatch. As the name suggests, AniWatch offers a wide variety of anime shows and movies to watch online for free. Anime is hugely popular around the world and AniWatch claims to have the largest collection for free viewing.

The website has recently been rebranded to HiAnime. Today in this article, we will discuss if it is safe to watch or download from the AniWatch/HiAnime website.

AniWatch’s content library is one of the largest with titles across genres like horror, mystery, police, classic, romance, comedy, school, etc. All the titles come with English subtitles or are dubbed in other languages too.

The titles are available in up to Ultra HD quality. You can adjust streaming quality in 360p, 720p, or even 1080p. The loading speed of the website is claimed to be faster than other websites and downloading is as easy as streaming.

Is it Safe to use AniWatch for Viewing or Downloading Anime?

AniWatch might not be illegal on paper but it doesn’t have a copyright license for the content it streams. Supporting such platforms would mean you are encouraging piracy. The website is free to use and has pop-up ads that can have malware or unwanted scripts. This might lead to your device becoming corrupt if you use this website. Such websites put your data and personal information at risk.

Some legitimate streaming services like Crunchyroll and Netflix have agreements with anime studios so they have the rights to stream the content. AniWatch doesn’t have any such license which makes using it unsafe.
