I remember discovering Samehadaku years ago when a friend recommended it to me. At first, I was impressed by how quickly they uploaded new episodes, sometimes within hours after release in Japan. The subs weren’t always perfect, but they were understandable. What I liked the most was that they kept archiving older shows too, which made it easy to revisit classics without hunting all over the internet.To be real, I’ve got mixed feelings about Samehadaku. On one hand, they made it super easy for me to watch anime during high school when I didn’t have access to official platforms. On the other hand, the ads on the website are super annoying, and sometimes you have to click through too many popups just to get to the download link. It’s convenient but also frustrating at the same time.
