About Kitanime

Kitanime publishes independent anime discovery guides. It is not affiliated with the anime producers, publishers or streaming providers shown here.

Official player policy

We only list approved official YouTube embeds after recording a publisher's permission for commercial website placement and checking availability. The publisher controls whether its episodes can be watched in your country. The player belongs to YouTube; we do not download or rehost video content, alter its controls, or suppress its ads.

Where our data comes from

Catalog metadata (titles, formats, seasons, episode counts, studios and aggregated scores) comes from anime-offline-database, published under the Open Database License (ODbL 1.0). We clean it, remove promotional clips and duplicates, and link every title to its source records on sites such as MyAnimeList, AniList and Kitsu. Editorial guides are written by our team and cite their sources.

Advertising

Kitanime is free to use and may be supported by advertising in the future. Ads will always be clearly labelled, kept separate from video players, and we will never ask you to click them.

Artwork and rights holders

Anime posters on Kitanime are official promotional artwork belonging to their respective studios, publishers and production committees. They are shown at small size only to help visitors identify each title, alongside our own independent data and writing. Kitanime claims no ownership of this artwork.

Takedown requests: if you are a rights holder and would like an image removed or replaced with licensed artwork, email contact@kitanime.com with the page URL. We remove disputed images promptly, normally within 48 hours.
