I've promoted 1Anime before here on this subreddit but it's time to share that I'm stepping down from being the owner and founder of 1Anime
Please take a look at why I'm stepping down:
And for my final wish, share 1Anime to your friends, and rate 1Anime positively and rank it up on FMHY and EverythingMoe
Thanks y'all for giving 1Anime a try.
1Anime is back online after approximately 25 hours of downtime on May 9–10, 2026.
Following the AnimeKai shutdown, a sudden surge of incoming traffic exhausted our VPS bandwidth allocation, triggering a network throttle from our provider. A coordinated DDoS attack targeting both 1Anime and partner platform Re:Anime was identified shortly after, complicating recovery.
| Time | Event |
|---|---|
| May 9, 9:00 PM | Outage reported; VPS throttled after bandwidth exhaustion |
| May 9, 10:35 PM | DDoS attack identified |
| May 9, 11 PM – May 10, 7 AM | Initial recovery attempts failed due to server overload |
| May 10, 2–6 PM | Team meeting to finalize recovery plan |
| May 10, 6–10 PM | Emergency development cycle |
| May 10, 10–11 PM | Service restored |
Partner platform Re:Anime was targeted by the same DDoS attack and mitigated it on their end shortly after detection.
1Anime is operational. Performance is improved over the pre-incident baseline, with optimization ongoing.
Thanks to the 1Anime team for the recovery effort, and to our users for their patience.
