Hanime.tv has had intermittent outages and legal pressure, but it has not been permanently shut down as of late 2025.
Site status
Public uptime monitors have recently reported hanime.tv as down, showing outages and connection failures in the last 24 hours, which explains why it may appear unavailable right now. These kinds of monitoring pages update frequently, so the status can flip between “up” and “down” as the site goes offline and returns.
Legal and piracy context
Hanime.tv is a streaming site for copyrighted adult anime content, which places it in a similar legal gray area as other hentai or anime piracy platforms that have been forced offline or pressured by rights holders. A high‑profile example is another hentai streaming site that lost a copyright case and was effectively taken down, showing the kind of action that can hit sites like Hanime at any time.
What this means for users
Because of this mix of legal risk and technical instability, users can expect periodic downtime, sudden domain changes, or geoblocking rather than a clear public announcement that the service is “dead.” If the main domain does not respond for an extended period, it often means the operators are dealing with hosting, legal, or domain issues rather than a confirmed permanent closure.
