Is lunaranime.ru a scam?

Our automated security review marked lunaranime.ru as suspicious. Several warning signs were detected; it may still turn out legitimate, but you should verify it through independent channels before trusting it with money or credentials.

Is lunaranime.ru safe to use?

lunaranime.ru currently scores 55/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.

Does lunaranime.ru have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. lunaranime.ru presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 40 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

Has lunaranime.ru been flagged by antivirus engines?

No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report lunaranime.ru as clean.

Is lunaranime.ru on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No. lunaranime.ru is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

Where is lunaranime.ru hosted?

lunaranime.ru resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.

Is lunaranime.ru a well-known website?

Yes. lunaranime.ru sits in the global top-100k on Cloudflare Radar, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. That does not automatically make it safe, but established brands almost always rank here and throwaway scam domains almost never do.

How often is the lunaranime.ru report updated?

This is a permanent record of the scan run on July 6, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around lunaranime.ru have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

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.

Visual red flags detected in the screenshot

The site presents as a modern, high-quality unofficial anime streaming platform; while it uses a likely fabricated viewer count to simulate activity, it lacks typical aggressive scam indicators like phishing forms or malicious pop-ups.

Confidence

The platform presents a professional interface but exhibits several red flags common in unofficial streaming circles. We detected a fake 'watching now' counter designed to simulate high user activity, which is a deceptive engagement tactic. While our antivirus network found no malicious code, the site operates without any listed business registration or contact information. The domain is registered to a private individual in Russia, and the service relies on third-party hosting to bypass direct copyright responsibility. These factors suggest a high-risk environment where user data and device security cannot be guaranteed.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The site features a modern, high-quality UI with sections for anime, manga, and novels. It prominently displays a 'Join Discord' button and claims to be completely free and ad-free, which is unusual for a platform of this scale.

Infrastructure

The domain is hosted behind a common content delivery network, which masks the true origin server. It uses a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, but the underlying WHOIS data is hidden behind a private registration service.

Domain History

Registered in May 2025, the domain has been active for approximately one year. It has gained significant traction in niche communities, reaching a high global traffic rank despite its unofficial status.

Web Reputation

Independent review aggregators show a split reputation; some sources highlight it as a functional community project, while others flag it as suspicious due to its lack of transparency and legal standing. No major malware infections have been reported to date.

Risk Factors

Fabricated 'live viewer' counts used to deceive users about site popularity.
No business registration, physical address, or official contact email provided.
Offers copyrighted anime and manga content for free without licensing.
Domain ownership is hidden behind a private registration service in Russia.
Promotes an APK download which could bypass standard mobile security protections.

Positive Signals

Zero detections across 92 antivirus engines in our network.
Valid SSL encryption is active for all traffic.
Clean reputation on major browser blocklists.
Active community presence on Discord and GitHub.

AI Recommendation

Use caution when accessing this site and do not download any software or APK files it offers. Avoid creating an account with a password you use elsewhere, as the site's data handling practices are unverified.
