Is zairaku.site legit or a scam?
Clone of hianime.to anime streamer on a 13-day-old .site domain with BitDefender and Webroot malware flags.
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 a free HD anime and TV streaming platform with watch-party features. Its domain is only 13 days old, which is a strong warning sign for new streaming clones. Three antivirus engines including BitDefender and Webroot flagged the page as malicious while two others called it suspicious. Our fingerprinting confirms it is a direct clone of hianime.to and anihub, a pattern common on low-trust TLDs. Independent reports on Reddit and scanner sites also rate it high risk, outweighing the single positive Reddit post and clean IP reputation.

This page is styled as a known brand but is not the brand's real site.
- Do not interact with zairaku.site
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
- Go to the brand's real site directly
Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.
- Never download or sign in here
Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.
- OpenReport the impersonation to the brand
Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.
