Honestly, my entire journey regarding Japanese, Korean, and Chinese comics and animation has been full of excitement and emotions. This is a note to always remind myself of what I've read and watched and to always cherish it.
One of the main reasons I make interest stacks is to remind myself of those memories. I'll never forget those moments of pure excitement and happiness.

Myanime.live, lmanime, animexin, aniwave, donghuastream, anime4i, dailymotion, YouTube, bilibili, and 9anime
My personal favorites are: Myanime.live, YouTube, dailymotion, animexin, 9anime, and bilibili. I only really use bilibili when I want to get the latest episodes (some donghua get released in China first and I go on Bilibili sometimes to watch them early). I mainly use animexin and myanime.live
lmk if you need more help. Enjoy.
