Quick Recap

On 2026-03-23 Cocksucker Crunchyroll has DMCA striked these GitHub repositories for copyright infringement instead of releasing a pr statement for the data breach that they experienced around the same time, I have gained all prior packages for aniwatch and @consumet/extension, but unfortunately I couldn't archieve the source code.

Archive of packages aniwatch and @consumet/extension are in the folder match the version and do npm i package.zip.

Rant

I won't force you to stop using Crunchyroll but these motherfuckers have there priorities upside down not fixing there core service was the reason for these api/sdk/scraper to exist regardless of the fact if they are ethical/legal,but instead Crunchyroll focused on taking down piracy site and random dudes git repo (like this)[https://github.com/ghoshRitesh12/aniwatch-api] (and this)[https://github.com/itzzzme/anime-api] as if it will stop piracy all together. There only so much these archive can provide so use it for the temporary solution it is

I guess it the end of an era.
