This seems to be a month of adult content for me, and FapForFun is the second such site I’m reviewing. Perhaps that makes me one of the few who gets to legally browse adult content at work and get paid for it. I wonder if my boss is aware.
But back to the point, FapForFun has pros and cons, so let’s get this review on track. This site is everything hentai-related, so I expect many strange things to happen. However, its anime focus is refreshing from sites like BitSexy.

1. What is FapForFun?
Pros | Cons |
Broad array of anime categories | Frustrating site navigation system |
No pop-up ads | Link redirects eat up a lot of time |
Some good quality content | You have to filter out the junk |
Lots of hentai games (very rare) | Relatively slow web page loading |
FapForFun started as a Blogspot site that shared torrent links for adult-oriented anime. Naturally, that pushed them off the site and onto an independent platform. Naturally, this cost some money, so an attempt was made for funding on Patreon.
However, while Pateron allows adult content in some ways, it doesn’t allow benefits in the form of access to adult content sites. Ultimately, FapForFun went for PixivFanBox, something that’s similar to pateron.
Today, the site happily draws in revenue in several forms while providing users access to almost any adult hentai stuff imaginable. That includes anime, PC games, android games, fanart, and other weird stuff I don’t even recognize.
2. FapForFun User Experience
Most torrent platforms I’ve experienced often present with the same characteristics. That means massive lists of torrents with handy magnets and download links nearby. However, FapForFun is an entirely different beast.
Remember when I mentioned it migrated from Blogger to an independent platform? The new platform has a blog-style layout that makes browsing torrents challenging. Factor in how it’s organized; you’ll likely start pulling your hair out.
Imagine trying to download an anime series and finding that you have to open one blog post for each episode. Next, inside each blog post is a link that puts you through a series of link redirects so the site can earn some revenue.
Imagine the number of times you’ll click to download 30 episodes of one series. It’s less intrusive than pop-up ads, but it’s an honest test of your patience. Add to that the relative slowness of the site, and you’ll want to cry in frustration.
Oh, and the overall design of the site looks like something that came from the mind of a five-year-old kid. Navigation structure included.
3. Content Quality and Diversity
Now that I’ve ranted about the user experience, we have come to the good part: the content on FapForFun. I’ve never seen any torrent website that covers adult anime in so much detail. For example, did you know there are 2D and 3D anime, H-anime, and MMD? I don’t even know what the last two of those are.
That’s not even mentioning the number of anime-related games available on almost all platforms. Action, Adventure, Arcade, Tabletop—you name it, FapForFun has it. It’s like an anime otaku’s dream come true.
However, regarding content quality, things digress from the “Awesome” level on the geek meter. I downloaded several anime videos purely for research, I assure you. The quality was a severe mix, ranging from “what-the-f**k” to “so clear my optician would go out of business.”
A Note to the Prudent: FapForFun has some relatively disturbing (but still anime) content. Unless you’re willing to laugh this off as simply nuts, you should avoid the site.
4. Is FapForFun Safe to Use?
Compared to most torrent websites, I never got that feel of every link having the potential to cause disaster. There is a revenue element since the site uses link redirects and solicits for coffee (a.k.a. donations).
However, there aren’t intrusive popups, strange ads, or other unusual behavior. It really feels like the site is being run by a kid who just wants to earn enough to pay for his hosting and time spent building it. It’s kind of amazing, actually.
I still wouldn’t access any torrent website without a VPN and ad blocker, but this site doesn’t trigger warning lights flashing in my mind.
5. FapForFun Alternatives: Less Frustrating Options
While occasionally watching anime, I’ve never gone out of my way to find them. That’s why I was so surprised at the breadth of offerings available. Some of these sites seriously blew my mind, especially after the painful navigational experience on FapForFun.
Nyaa si
Nyaa Torrents is dead and gone, but a modern-day iteration has emerged. While not entirely anime-focused, this site offers access to Japanese adult content (including hentai). It offers a forum-style design and easy links for torrent downloads.
The site categorizes content meticulously, including separate sections for English-subbed, raw (unsubbed), and non-English anime, facilitating easier navigation.
AniRena
AniRena combines ease of access with a broad selection, covering anime, manga, and related music without requiring user registration. Its welcoming approach makes it an accessible option for those seeking quick downloads without the hassle of account creation.
A commitment to user convenience is evident in its straightforward downloading process, appealing to users who prioritize efficiency.
Tokyo Toshokan
Many consider Tokyo Toshokan a specialized search engine for Japanese media. That means it can be a super conduit for various anime. It’s known for its real-time updates, making it an excellent resource for catching the latest releases as they become available.
The site’s focus on timeliness ensures enthusiasts can access new episodes shortly after they air in Japan, catering to the international demand for more current titles.
BakaBT
Here you get quality over quantity, something not many BakaBT competitors can say. However, this site operates as a private tracker where users are vetted. This exclusivity ensures that the content is well-seeded and remains so.
Its invitation-only membership model creates a committed community atmosphere where maintaining a favorable ratio of downloads to uploads is encouraged.
AnimeBytes
AnimeBytes is a treasure trove for anime aficionados, offering an impressive collection with rare titles and soundtracks. The site is renowned for its organization and the quality of its torrents, curated by a passionate community.
The extensive tagging and detailed descriptions make finding specific titles or genres seamless, enhancing the user experience.
6. Final Thoughts
FapForFun is an impressive attempt at building a torrent site. That’s especially true since it seems like the site is run by a sole owner. Despite its shortcomings, it has built a solid and loyal fanbase.
That, plus the lack of greed by the operator, will ensure that, warts and all, FapForFun will be one of those sites that survive the ages. You can find better alternatives, but seriously, consider this the one time I’d recommend a more frustrating website for your needs.
