I clicked half a dozen random titles from random genres I found in the genre menu. They all worked and loaded fast.
The 'fake clones' still being around shows how easy a problem this is to solve and how this really should be an unwinnable battle for the rights holders, if there's any assertiveness in the community. Reason being, all the files are still hosted on 3rd party uploaders and the links are presumably in some database or xml or whatever. The fake sites are just pointing to the same files the original used to. There's hundreds of thousands of individual uploads to deal with. That takedown battle takes a lot of effort and is a digital forever-war, so copyright attack dogs go to the links aggregator which is 9anime. Which is a site that can always be replaced, even if it's with what was the inferior choice up until now, but that 'inferiority' becomes a 'glass missing some water' vs 'glass almost 100% full' perspective question. Ofc those links need maintaining in the longer term, so the sooner a trustworthy steward takes over the intermediary role, the better...
Yeah it's sad for the zoomies who are more concerned about their anime library and disqus comments or whatever, but tbh it was arguably unwise to make any kind of personal profile even on the original 9anime, given what just happened.
