Anime Rangers X Deleted, Reason Why & All You Need to Know!

Anime Rangers X is the latest Roblox anime tower defense game to get caught in a DMCA situation. If you’re wondering why it got removed, what this means for the future of the game, and whether your data is at risk, this guide covers everything you need to know.

What is Anime Rangers X?

Anime Rangers X is a tower defense game on Roblox inspired by various popular anime franchises. While it puts a slight twist on the classic tower defense formula with unique gameplay mechanics, it still shares a lot in common with similar games—especially in terms of character models, map layouts, and UI design.

Why Was Anime Rangers X Taken Down?

The removal of the game sparked a lot of confusion in the community. Initially, helpers in the official Anime Rangers X Discord suggested the game was hit with a DMCA takedown due to copyright issues. Even one of the Lead Developers confirmed this in early discussions.

Later, however, the game’s Co-Owner claimed that there was no official DMCA from any anime studio or publisher. Instead, they described it as a “minor issue.” Despite the lack of official confirmation, many players speculated that characters like Dio from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure or units from One Piece may have triggered the removal—especially since Roblox also hosts an official One Piece game.

Is Anime Rangers X Coming Back?

As of now, the development team plans to bring the game back on Monday, April 28, if everything goes well with Roblox support. They’re working to ensure it won’t get taken down again, possibly including changes like a name rebrand or updated assets.

That said, many similar games have returned only to be taken down again shortly after. So while the return seems likely, whether it will stay up long-term is still uncertain.

Will You Lose Your Data?

According to the Co-Owner, no data will be lost when the game comes back. Your progress, units, and even limited characters like Yuta should still be there once the game is live again. This is especially good news for players who have invested a lot of time or Robux into the game.

Anime Rangers X has become yet another example of how fragile anime-inspired games can be on Roblox when it comes to copyright enforcement. Even though the team denies an official DMCA, the similarities to copyrighted content may have been enough to trigger action.

For now, the best thing you can do is wait for Monday. If all goes according to plan, you’ll be able to jump back into the game without losing anything. Just keep an eye on updates from the developers and be prepared for some changes—like a new name or slightly altered content—to help avoid future takedowns.
