Regarding confusion of AnimeOut shutting down and Update on new Platform (Patreon)

First to update you all, we have resumed work on the new platform again since a few weeks and are already working on its Desktop app. The API, backend and storage layer is already ready. 

I request anyone interested in following the development of the new platform/app, providing feedback or want to try it before anyone else to join our new discord:

Now with this update, some users are getting confused on future of AnimeOut and a few Patrons also messaged us asking if AOT is closing. 

AnimeOut will stay as long as its needed to migrate and transition to AnimeWatch which will have both website and app, so AOT wil shutdown (or rather redirect to animewatch) once the animewatch website is operational and public use ready. 

Closing AOT doesnt mean any loss as it will be replaced by new platform. So were just shutting it down because its underlying technology is still the same and limited what we started using 10 years ago. Then we will try and migrate and transition everyone to the app, as we want to do away with website for various reasons. 

Once everyone is used to the app, we will disable downloading via the website as well and redirect everyone to download inside the app.  In App, users wont have to deal with logins, download managers, slow downlaod speed, VPN/Proxy, etc. as all of those will eventually be built in features of the app. 

for website authorities can check/track where its hosted, server ip and download links and all that shit and even take them down how they gonna do that in app, as app is not hosted anywhere and directly runs on users I mean a high level intellectual can do that still, but its not easy and will take someone with expertise knowledge to do so. 

So long answer short, AOT will close when and because it will no longer be needed due to everyone using new platform in coming months.
