How do I check service status and report a useful bug?
Check Service status, then use Give feedback or Contact for a problem that is not explained there. Include the exact steps, device, error and relevant episode details; never send passwords, sign-in codes or private media URLs.

Choose the right place for your question
Start with Service status at the top of Help, or System status in the website footer. A known incident may already explain a problem affecting several pages or devices. A green status page does not test every video source.
For a specific symptom, try playback, downloads or sign-in troubleshooting first. Keep any session that still works.
Send a useful report or suggestion
- Open the affected page, then select Give feedback in the website footer. You can also start from Contact.
- Choose the matching category: Bug Report for broken behaviour, Feature Request for an idea, Content Error for incorrect anime information, or General Feedback for something else.
- Write a specific Title, such as “Episode list stays empty after selecting season 2”, rather than “broken”.
- In Description, give the steps, expected result and actual result. Use the checklist below and include only details relevant to this problem.
- Complete any displayed verification and choose Submit Feedback once. Wait for the success message. If an error appears, keep a copy of your description before retrying; closing the form is not proof it was submitted.
- If you are signed in and the success screen offers View my feedback, use it to review your submission. For direct technical contact or a file that cannot be added to the form, use the contact method displayed on Contact.
The feedback form collects text; do not assume it has a screenshot or diagnostic-file upload. Use a contact channel that accepts a file if support needs one.
What to include: a short report template
Copy this checklist and fill in the relevant lines:
- I was trying to: describe the task.
- Device and app: model/OS, browser or app name, version if known.
- Steps: the shortest sequence that reproduces it.
- Expected / actual: what should happen and what happens instead.
- Exact error: visible message, with private information removed.
- For playback/downloads: public anime page, season, episode, language and source name.
- Time and scope: approximate time with time zone; whether another episode, source or device works.
For example: “On Android, I open a title, choose season 2 and tap episode 3. The source starts loading but returns the message shown below. Episode 2 works in the same app.” Do not invent a version if you cannot find it; say it is unknown.
For screenshots, capture the relevant error/control, not the whole account page. Crop or obscure usernames, private messages, sign-in codes and private URLs before sending. For desktop playback-engine problems, the diagnostic guide explains the available export; inspect its contents before sharing.
Reports that need a different route
- Wrong episode, audio or subtitles: on the episode page, use its Report menu if offered, or choose Content Error in feedback. Include the expected and actual content.
- A comment/review breaks the rules: use community reporting so the report identifies the specific contribution.
- Access, export or deletion of your own data: follow account data requests. Hiding a profile or deleting a download does not submit an erasure request.
- A copyright notice: use the DMCA information and the contact details provided there.
Never send passwords, login QR/device codes, authentication tokens or full private media links. Diagnostics may still contain personal details despite automatic redaction. A submitted report is not a promised fix date; if you follow up, include your earlier report reference rather than repeatedly submitting the same issue.
