Additional information

• This website seems to be available in german only. It's a legal anime streaming service, provided by well-known anime publishers themselves to simplify anime streaming in Germany.
• The service is paid, but you can easily create an account with 4 weeks of free trial period to check this service out before you need to pay something. I guess this will be enough to add site support into youtube-dl. If it isn't, just contact me for account information.
• I tried to add this extractor on my own, and extracting video titles and stuff shouldn't be any problem, but since I don't have any experience with hls (they seem to use either hls or m3u8) and such stuff, and they use a kinda obfuscated player, i got stuck. If there are some channels to contact more experienced youtube-dl developers who can help me with those details, maybe I can provide the Akiba Pass integration myself.
