#Anime

If you want to get the best quality, use direct download, IRC, or torrent. You can obtain full web release quality on a streaming site that scrapes the official site API, such as KickAssAnime for Crunchyroll and Bilibili content. Otherwise, it is hard to maintain the full quality while managing space & traffic. You can network stream files from direct download, irc and torrents.

Aniwave formerly 9anime
- Huge library with Watch Together feature
- Less amount of compression compared to other sites that use 3rd party hosts
- Has both hardsub and softsub (multilingual)
- Original site's UI is bloated. Use Anix or 9animehq for more minimal experience.

- KAA encodes(videstreaming) are quite good(the new encodes) and loads better.
