Brand impersonation — not the real site

Is www1.anikai.cc legit or a scam?
Clone of AnimeKai anime streaming site on a seven-month-old .cc domain that carries malicious flags from Chong Lua Dao and Forcepoint ThreatSeeker.
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.
