Is hianimetv.su legit or a scam?
Unauthorized HiAnime clone site hosting pirated anime; flagged as high-risk by security vendors and Reddit users; domain age ~140 days.
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.

MT Intelligence
The site impersonates HiAnime, a well-known anime streaming platform that was shut down in early 2026 following legal action. Our analysis confirms it is a direct clone of hianime.to, presenting identical branding, title, and content library without licensing. Independent security researchers assign it a 17/100 trust score and report multiple vendor blacklists. Reddit users in anime and scam-detection communities flag it as fake and unsafe. The domain is approximately 140 days old, registered after the original site's shutdown, and carries no verifiable business registration or operator details. The combination of clone-site infrastructure, pirated content, and explicit community warnings establishes this as a high-risk unauthorized streaming operation.
