While we have no definite source on the news, all we can do now is mourn our dear friend. If you’ve forgotten what our precious guide offered us, don’t worry, we’re here to remind you.

One of the best 4anime features was that it had limited advertisements. While we did enjoy watching our favourites for free, it is important to note that 4anime pampered us with high quality and choice.

Further, it had a wide range of anime that varied across genres. No matter where you looked, there was always more.

Its most missed feature however will definitely be its random anime picking option. That little friend always had our backs when it came to widening our anime experience.

However, before we leave, we would like to mention the note left by 4anime. The 4anime website currently mentions the shutdown and asks fans to view anime legally.

But have you ever wondered why anime pirating is still a thing? Despite the emergence of legal websites like Crunchyroll and Funimation? Well here’s why.

While the anime industry has come a long way with its reach and viewership, legal websites haven’t kept up with the trend. Pirated websites are free from the censoring clutches of country governments and are easily accessible.

This means that legal websites require licensing rights in order to telecast their anime in countries. Which is a time-consuming process that will lead to the show airing much after its release.

Further, pirated websites not only have a huge viewing library but also don’t depend on views. This means you don’t have to worry about a series being taken off just because it doesn’t have enough views.

To add to this, each site does have its unique way of marking watched anime or providing good quality. However, legal websites insist on registrations and payments without the elite features provided by the pirated websites.

So in conclusion, the shift from illegal to legal is not entirely impossible. In fact, it has been done in the music and video game industry successfully.

With this, we end with our article on 4anime Shuts Down: Here are the Top 10 Best 4anime alternatives. We hope that we’ve helped you out even just a bit.

We would also like to encourage fans to visit the 4anime Reddit page to pass on your thanks to the site owners. We have had this site for years, and it’s only right that we show our gratitude and respect.

Furthermore, we’ll be back again to get you on track with anime, and we hope you’ve enjoyed 4anime Shuts Down: Here are the Top 10 Best 4anime Alternatives. So until then, do stay safe, stay tuned, and stay hyped.
