My Honest Thoughts on the Free Anime Platform I Use for Daily Anime Watching

Official Website: https://dick.xfani.com/

The frustrations of daily anime watching can be really annoying. Either popular anime requires a membership to watch in HD, or you can’t find niche anime on any major platforms. The resources you finally find are full of pop-up ads, freeze like a slideshow halfway through loading, and there’s no place on the platform to chat with fellow anime fans.

I made a lot of mistakes when I first started using it, so I’m sharing these to warn you:

• Don’t start searching for anime right away. Many new users don’t know that the category filters hide a lot of niche resources, which are more comprehensive than just searching by keywords
• Don’t click the “High-speed Download” button on the page randomly. Those are all third-party lead generators, either redirecting to ads or coming with bundled software
• Don’t just remember one domain when bookmarking. There are too many fake sites; stick to the two official domains to avoid pitfalls
• I thought I needed to install the App to avoid lag, but the web version’s preloading feature is already well-hidden. You can watch HD smoothly without installing the App

What I like most about this platform is that it solves all the frustrations I mentioned earlier. No membership required—you can find HD resources for both newly updated popular anime and niche old anime from years ago. The update speed is really fast; the Japanese anime I follow updates half a day earlier than on other platforms.

The web version’s filters are clear, separating Japanese anime, Chinese anime, and American anime clearly. You can also sort by update time, so you don’t have to scroll for ages to find the latest episodes.

The built-in search box lets you see the update status directly by entering the anime name. **The preloading feature is a lifesaver**—when I have poor signal on the subway, even 4K anime can buffer well, so I don’t have to wait around for it to load.

I’ve also used the App. When caching anime, you don’t need to convert formats, save it on your phone to watch anytime, and there are fewer ads—only the opening and ending ads of the anime itself, which is totally acceptable.

Compared to the anime platforms I used before, this one has real advantages. Other platforms either restrict HD resources with memberships or have incomplete resources, not even a place for fans to communicate. This one not only has complete resources but also its own Fan Forum community. **The Fan Forum is a hidden gem, accessible at bbs.xfanchat.com**—many fans upload anime that can’t be found there, which is much faster than searching blindly. There’s also the preloading feature; other platforms require a membership to use it, but this one is free, which is a lifesaver when the network is poor.

Practical tips I’ve summarized after using it for so long—all from my mistakes:

• When downloading the App, don’t click third-party downloads on the web. Go directly to the official website’s download entrance, or cache directly on the web version
• Don’t trust the “ad-free” pop-ups on the page—those are all lead generators. Only the official ads are acceptable
• If resources are unavailable, don’t search blindly. Post a help thread on the Fan Forum, and someone will add them soon
• Don’t use third-party parsing links. Though they might be a bit slow sometimes, they’re stable, while third-party links often redirect to virus sites

Finally, who is this suitable for? If you like watching niche anime, don’t want to pay for a membership, value loading speed and clarity, and occasionally want to chat about anime with fellow fans, this is definitely for you. If you only watch exclusive paid popular anime, or have zero tolerance for ads and must have completely no ads, then this might not be suitable. After all, it’s a free platform and can’t compare to those paid-exclusive ones.
