After knowing about MyNimeKu, below are recommendations for legal anime streaming platforms other than MyNimeKu:

Crunchyroll

Crunchyroll is a legal streaming and reading platform developed and published by Crunchyroll LLC on December 20, 2010 for PC, Console, Smart TV, Tablet, Android and iOS.

Crunchyroll now also has a Crunchyroll Manga feature for reading digital comics, accessible through the app or website. However, it's currently only available to Premium subscribers in the United States and Canada, with English-language content.

This platform is free to use, but its freemium model includes ads and paid features through Crunchyroll Premium. Crunchyroll Premium offers ad-free streaming, early episode access, and offline downloads.

The downside is that not all anime is available in every country due to limited licensing, while the Crunchyroll Manga feature is also not yet available globally. Furthermore, Crunchyroll still experiences buffering issues when playing videos.

Bilibili Comics once offered licensed comics, online reading, genre-specific collections, a coin system for unlocking specific chapters, and follow and continue reading features. While the service was free, some paid content was available.

Unfortunately, Bilibili Comics has been permanently closed due to a change in the company's strategy. Therefore, after the official closure, users will no longer be able to read or access comics on the platform.
