the site has become a leading resource for fans who want unbiased information about new series or want to know what fellow fans think about their favorites.

Why AnimeKisa is Shutting Down
AnimeKisa is a great, growing site with the potential to be even bigger. Unfortunately, however, it has not been able to overcome some significant financial challenges. Despite continued efforts by the site’s staff to receive donations, AnimeKisa was unable to secure the funding needed to continue operating. This is a tremendously difficult decision for the site’s staff, but our efforts have been unsuccessful. The site’s owners have considered other options, but have decided to shut down the site and return all readers’ contributions.
Update: AnimeKisa has No Longer Been Receiving Contributions
We are letting you know that since the previous update, AnimeKisa has not been receiving any contributions. We value all of you, the readers of AnimeKisa, and we want to thank you for your continued support. We would have liked to continue publishing, but unfortunately we were not able to reach our desired financial goal. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. We hope that you continue to follow us on our future journey.
