Popular anime streaming site HiAnime is listed as a "priority notorious streaming site" in a new list of piracy sites being targeted by the U.S. court system.

As seen via Torrent Freak, the Motion Picture Association published a response for public comment dated Oct. 1, 2025, by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative for "submissions from the public on notorious markets outside of the United States." Among these submissions is a list of "Priority Notorious Linking and Streaming Sites," which includes HiAnime along with platforms such as Myflixerz and Cuevana. HiAnime is still widely considered the world's largest anime piracy site, with its monthly views outstripping the likes of Disney+ in January this year.

The official description for the platform from the MPA statement reads, "Hianime, formerly known as Zoro[.]to and Aniwatch[.]to, has a global ranking of 159 with 244.2 million visits from 17.54 million unique visitors in August 2025, according to SimilarWeb. The site provides access to a range of content, especially anime content. The hosting location is masked using Cloudflare’s reverse proxy, but the site is currently believed to be operated from Vietnam." HiAnime is listed as a "priority" site on the new report, alongside Myflixerz/Sflix and Cuevana.biz/is, while additional new entries to the list include the likes of Anime-Sama and Kisskh.co/kisskh.ovh.
