If you regularly follow anime online, there’s a good chance you’ve already used Anime Sama.
And if, over the past few days, the site refuses to open or displays a strange page, don’t panic: it has simply changed its address.
Like many unofficial anime platforms, Anime Sama regularly changes its domain name to stay accessible.
👉 Currently working address: https://anime-sama.store
Be careful, though: numerous fake sites and clones are circulating around this name.
Why does Anime Sama change its URL so often?
Anime Sama is one of the most visited anime sites in France. This popularity automatically leads to:
- DNS blocks put in place by internet service providers,
- actions taken by the rights holders,
- removals by video hosts,
- filtering linked to Arcom (formerly Hadopi),
- the appearance of fraudulent copies of the site,
- sometimes even geographical restrictions.
To continue offering its content, the platform therefore migrates to a new domain as soon as the old one is blocked.
At the moment, anime-sama.eu is the only reliable address.
The catalogue offered on Anime Sama
What makes Anime Sama a success is, above all, the richness of its catalogue. The site brings together a very large number of anime, both old and recent.
You’ll generally find:
- free streaming anime,
- episodes in French dub, subtitled or French-subtitled versions,
- popular Japanese series,
- animated films and feature-length films,
- manga adaptations (shonen, shojo, seinen, isekai…),
- very well-known licences (Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece, SNK, Pokémon…),
- episodes added shortly after they air,
- videos in HD or even Full HD depending on the players.
All of it is accessible without registration, which explains why the site attracts so many fans of Japanese animation.
A platform widely used on mobile and TV
Anime Sama is widely accessed from mobile devices. Its interface adapts properly to:
- Android,
- iOS / iPhone / iPad,
- tablets,
- Smart TV,
- Chromecast,
- Android TV.
The built-in players often offer several hosts. If there’s a problem with a video, you just switch source to continue watching.
Some users also use HDMI, AirPlay or VLC to watch on a big screen.
Things to watch out for before using Anime Sama
Even though the site is popular, you shouldn’t forget that it remains unofficial. This entails several drawbacks:
- the presence of adverts that are sometimes intrusive,
- pop-ups or redirects depending on the host,
- variable quality from one episode to another,
- players that are sometimes unavailable,
- videos hosted on external platforms,
- clones imitating Anime Sama and distributing malicious content,
- possible exposure of your IP address.
That’s why some users choose to use a VPN, particularly to avoid blocks and protect their internet connection.
How do you watch an anime on the new version?
The process remains very simple:
- Access the site via the right address
- Choose an anime or a series
- Select the version you want (French dub, subtitled, HD…)
- Click on the episode
- Switch player if necessary
Depending on the hosts, it’s sometimes possible to resume playback, track your progress or save favourites.
What are the legal alternatives for anime?
If you want to avoid problems with legality, quality or interruptions, the official platforms remain the best option:
- Crunchyroll (the absolute reference for anime)
- ADN – Animation Digital Network
- Netflix (exclusives and original productions)
- Amazon Prime Video
- Molotov / Arte (anime and documentaries)
- Google Play / Apple TV for VOD
These services offer a licensed catalogue, HD streaming, zero pop-ups and genuine stability.
