Genoanime.com boasts of being the best website for watching anime series. It is a popular video streaming site for anime-type of animated movies. Anime is a distinctive artistic style of animation that originates from Japan.
While streaming videos on the site is free, Genoanime has the option to donate through another site called ko-fi.com. Ko-fi.com has 4 reviews on mywot.com with an average rating of 3.6 out of 5. Ko-fi.com appears to be set up with the express intention of supporting content creators. Donations by well wishers should go to the content creators. The problem is that there is no way to verify this.
The red flag here is the cryptocurrency angle. Ko-fi.com also receives donations via Bitcoin and Dogecoin. Once you transfer cryptocurrency there is no way to retrieve it.
Genoanime's Facebook page has zero reviews! A big red flag and rather strange for a high-traffic site and 628 followers. But it may also be because they have not prioritized directing site viewers to Facebook for reviews.
ScamAdviser website check shows genoanime.com as safe but with the warning that it is young yet has high traffic.
The only contact given is this free Gmail address - portugalsensie@gmail.com that appears on their Facebook page.
It’s a known convention to have a branded email that matches the domain name of your site. Genoamine.com does not have this. Chances are that you should expect more departures from established and known business conventions. One such thing is voluntary donations that can be made even via cryptocurrency.
The real issue here is whether genoanime.com uses the content from artists legally. And whether the artists actually get paid from their work being distributed freely to viewers at Genoanime.
That is doubtful because of the following disclaimer:

The non-affiliated parties are linked at the bottom of the site:
All in all, there appears to be little risk in simply watching anime movies on Genoanime. Subscription is voluntary and does not hinder you from streaming their videos. There is also no paid service that requires you to fill your personal details first before accessing Genoanime.com.
