Even the Discord and Buymeacoffee page got taken down. This is larger than any other DMCA I know of
Edit: even the Telegram has been nuked. Yup, Telegram

Maybe they changed something since I used it the last time when it came out but I find the UI to be horrible.
It’s a Manga UI used for watching anime. I rather have a UI with beautiful animations. Saikou has one of the most beautiful UI I’ve ever seen in an app.
While I love Tachiyomi (J2K) as a Manga reader and I think it’s the best one on any platform, it’s not great as a Streaming app designed as a streaming app (I know Saikou isn’t just a streaming app and you can also read Mangas in it, but I rather use Tachiyomi for that)
Edit: just checked it out. Nope still a Manga app UI for an anime streaming app with horrible discoverability and you can’t switch between different sources easily. The sources are cool I guess, but I don’t need those. You also can’t add something on Anilist and automatically have it added to your “continue watching” list.
why is the DMCA the one area the government has apparently unlimited power and resources
The dev of Saikou made an announcement on the Discord about this
What the deuce is Chouten? I could not find a thing about it
Just use aniyomi, it’s not locked to anilist
But I like Anilist. And the UI and features of Saikou
The UI of Tachiyomi isn’t made for Anime. It’s a Manga app and it’s great for that, but it’s horrible for Anime
It has anilist too, that’s what I use. I had never even heard of saikou before so haven’t used it but I’ve never had any issues with aniyomi. It’s perfectly functional in finding anything I want to watch and looks good. Can’t do anything about your subjective preferences though.
Just that Saikou isn’t just an anime streaming app. It’s also an Anilist client. And it’s beautiful and I love the animations and video player features like a skip intro button and it’s generally just beautiful. You also can read Manga with it, but I honestly prefer Tachiyomi for that.
I see. Well with the power of anime I’m sure some weeb out there will make a fork of it one way or another
Just try it. I backed it up. But you need to have an AniList account since it uses Anilist’s API for a lot of features:
Lol. Somebody reposted my post on reddit: reddit.com/r/animepiracy/comments/16v4jru/saikou_the_best_anime_streaming_app_on_android/
I don’t mind at all and am kinda happy.
God damnit
Can you link their telegram?
It’s gone
There must be a username/t.me link which is used previously
Any fork?
Yet another hydra head falls… 😂
