There are many fan-supported websites out there, including 4Anime. Today, we'll be talking about this website in detail.
What is 4Anime?
4Anime is a free streaming anime platform that lets users browse and watch anime of any quality they want, with no registration needed and no ads. The website has secured servers to protect user data, and 4Anime is one of the only streaming platforms with this feature. Overall, 4Anime is an excellent free streaming site that should be checked out by anyone interested in anime.
Why should you stream on 4Anime?
4Anime in my catalog is easily one of the top 10 anime streaming websites. And if you're wondering why I made such a bold statement, here are a few of the many key points that support my claim.
In-depth Release Schedule
Anime offers a comprehensive release schedule for a week. When you click on the schedule section, you can find all the upcoming anime series and movies that are going to be available on the network. This in-depth guide is based on Pacific Time. Each day, there are more than 6 shows that are added to the network. At the time of writing this review - ?Pet?, ?Heya Camp?, ?Phantasy Star Online?, ?A3! Season Spring & Summer?, ?ARP Backstage Pass?, ?Yatogame chan Kansatsu Nikki 52?, and ?Murenase! Seton Gakuen? was scheduled to air.
Great design
Anime has a really clean design. The dark theme followed by colorful vertical thumbnails add contrast to the website. The grey tone used in the background with flat logos and layouts really helps the website to appear distinctive. The inner pages are equally beautiful, even when you're on a dedicated page. You can still see the homepage thanks to the transparent background. That's a cutting-edge feature that you see only on a handful of websites.
Intuitive user interface
The website's amazing design is followed up by a clean user interface. The menus, fonts, categories and various other elements make up for a great streaming experience. The user interface is what keeps a user glued to the website, and 4Anime really gets hold of you as you're trying to find your favorite anime. The process of finding a piece of content is seamless and even the end product is so good that you start recognizing this streaming service as a premium network.
How to access 4Anime?
com.
To access the website in two main ways, you can either search for the term "4Anime" in your search engine and likely find it on the first page of results, or you can use this link to access the website directly: 4Anime.com.
Design
I love the dark backgrounds on this website and if you've been reading my reviews, you know that already. The dark background really helps the different elements on the website to be highlighted. For an anime site, it's crucial that the major emphasis goes onto the thumbnails and a dark background helps in achieving that goal. So let's check out the design approach on various sections of this website.
Header
The header section is simple and attractive with a dark background and white text. There are four main options - Browse, Random, Genre, and Schedule on the left. A search bar towards the right followed by the discord icon and the login panel. So far this has been one of the most well-designed header sections out there.
Hero Section
The hero section doesn't have a banner like we saw on AnimeLab. It starts with the thumbnails directly. There are eight vertical banners in each row, and the homepage just has two sections: Recently Added, and Popular This Week. There are seven options along with a slider button. You can click on it to check out other banners.
Body
The body section on 4Anime.com doesn't have vertical banners on the other websites, but instead has a supporting text followed by the "Random" button. That button can be used to get a random recommendation from the website as to which anime series should you watch. If you're confused and undecided about what to watch, this tiny addition comes as a huge help.
Footer
On the website's footer, there are seven options on the left - News, FAQ, Reddit, Donate, Privacy, Password, and Hall of Fame. Towards the right, there are two options - Random and A&M.
Inner Pages
The inner pages of the website are amazingly designed. The transparency allows you to see the homepage in the background and that's a really unique concept. Each inner page has a thumbnail, title, genre, synopsis, list of episodes, and other options such as bookmarks and changing the color if you've watched a particular series.
Content
An anime series provides you a vast library of content that is available in both SD and HD quality without any delay. The extensive content library allows you to watch classic anime series such as ?Dragon Ball?, ?Pokemon?, ?Death Note?, ?One Piece?, and ?Naruto Shippuden?. You can also enjoy the latest ongoing series such as ?Boku No Hero Academia?, ?Kimetsu No Yaiba?, ?Darwin?s Game?, and ?Ishuzoku Reviewers?.
Desktop/Mobile experience
And theres even a timer so you can keep track of how much time is left in the episode.
I streamed 4Anime on my Surface Pro and my Pixel 4, and I have to say that it was one of the best streaming experiences I?ve ever had. No stream hiccups, intrusive ads or annoying pop-ups. Just pure streaming bliss. The video player and that particular streaming page are designed so well. Just under the player, you have a list of all the episodes from that series. Above the list, you also have four different options - Report, Focus, Download, and Resize. If you want to watch the episode offline, you can go ahead and use the download feature. And there is even a timer so you can keep track of how much time is left in the episode.
The anime streaming site, Anime, allows users to change a variety of settings in order to make the streaming experience more personal. This includes changing the color of all watched episodes, hiding the video player controller, switching from widgets to JW Player, hiding the episode list below the player, and showing Disqus comments after loading. All these small tweaks make the streaming experience much more sweet. Such customization options really help establish Anime as one of the best anime streaming sites out there.
Suggestions I have for 4Anime
Would love for the developers to add 4-5 banners in the hero section and push the thumbnails and content part in the body section. Right now, it lacks homepage banners and a proper body section, which are the only aspects keeping it away from a 5-star website.
Conclusion
There's no doubting that 4Anime is a great website for anime lovers. With its intuitive interface, streaming capabilities and overall design, it's one of the best free anime streaming services around. So if you're interested in checking out some fantastic shows, then you really can't afford to sleep on this site. Why not give it a try today?
