Brand impersonation — not the real site
Clone of the shut-down HiAnime anime streaming service on a brand-new .su domain with malware-ad complaints from prior mirrors. This page is styled as a brand but is not the brand's real site. Go to the official site directly, and treat any download, login, or payment request here as unsafe.
Is hi-anime.su legit or a scam?
Clone of the shut-down HiAnime anime streaming service on a brand-new .su domain with malware-ad complaints from prior mirrors.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The site presents itself as an official free anime streaming platform with a large library and download options. Strongest signal is the confirmed clone relationship to hianimetv.to plus explicit Reddit reports of the domain swap to hi-anime.su after the original service issues. Supporting signals include independent review aggregator complaints of malware links in ads on the previous domain and zero business registration or owner details. The clean IP reputation and valid SSL do not outweigh the clone indicators and community warnings. Visual capture was incomplete, leaving the rendered content unverified.
