Terms of use

Last updated: 14 November 2026. By using kitanime.com (“Kitanime”) you agree to these terms. The site owner should review them before advertising is enabled.

What Kitanime is

Kitanime is an independent anime database and editorial site. We are not affiliated with any studio, publisher, broadcaster or streaming service mentioned on the site.

Content and ownership

Our original text, rankings presentation, page design and editorial articles belong to Kitanime. Anime titles, characters, logos and promotional artwork belong to their respective rights holders and are shown for identification only. Catalog metadata is derived from anime-offline-database under the Open Database License (ODbL 1.0) and Database Contents License (DbCL 1.0).

Scores and rankings

Scores are averages of community ratings published by other anime databases. They are informational and may change; they are not Kitanime reviews unless clearly labelled as such.

Affiliate links

Some links to stores, such as Amazon, are affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, Kitanime earns from qualifying purchases. This does not change the price you pay, and it does not influence which titles we list.

Video and external links

Kitanime embeds episodes only from the official YouTube channels of rights holders and their licensed distributors (with embedding enabled by the uploader), or where we hold written permission. The uploader keeps control of the video, its advertising and the countries where it can be watched. Embedded players and external sites are operated by third parties under their own terms; we are not responsible for their content or availability, which can vary by country.

Acceptable use

Do not scrape the site at a rate that degrades it, attempt to access the administration area, or use the site for unlawful purposes. Automated access for search engine indexing is welcome.

No warranty

We work to keep information accurate but provide the site “as is”, without warranty. To the extent permitted by law, Kitanime is not liable for losses arising from use of the site.

Advertising

Kitanime may display clearly labelled advertisements in the future. Advertising never appears over video players, and we never ask visitors to click ads.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms; the date above shows the latest version. Questions: contact@kitanime.com (see Contact).
