The Aniwave(9anime) comments currently have a few problems that I will fix later:
currently missing some glitched/merged comment threads
Imgur images didn't download properly
Some images were downloaded twice(as the scraper was downloading I made changes to how images were named and ran it again)
Most commented pages on each site sorted from most(Aniwave) to least(Anitaku) amount of comments:
Aniwave(9anime): Attack on Titan The Final Season Part 3 Episode 1
Gogoanime Old comments: Yuri on Ice Category page
Anitaku(Gogoanime): Kimetsu no Yaiba Yuukaku Hen Episode 10
Folders were compressed into tarballs with zstd level 9 compression:
Aniwave(9anime): TOTAL GB UNCOMPRESSED: 69.2 GiB TOTAL GB COMPRESSED:17.4 GiB
Gogoanime: TOTAL GB UNCOMPRESSED: 84.8 GiB TOTAL GB COMPRESSED: 48.2 GiB
Anitaku(Gogoanime): TOTAL GB UNCOMPRESSED: 16.6 GiB TOTAL GB COMPRESSED: 1 GiB
Inside each of the anime folders, you will find 3 types of files that end with 'part X.json,' 'full.json,' and 'simple.json':
Part files - downloaded from disqus and unmodified and contain a maximum of 100 comments
Full - concatonated all part files
Simple - Full file with info stripped out to make more readable by human eyes

Gogoanime Comments Before 2021: Unfortunatly the compressed file size for Gogoanime is 48.2 GiB and I dont know how to share it since I ran out of free storage space. I will make another post when I figure out how to set up a torrent and also add the link here
I'm not 100% following, but if this is content that's gone from being publicly viewable, uploading it to archive.org seems appropriate (but don't take my word for it). Though if you do upload, it sounds like just the "part files" or just the "full files" would be enough. You could then also seed the torrent there.
The imgur links you might try uploading to ArchiveTeam's imgur-grab project. Looking at the tracker, the archival seems currently half dead, but I'm sure they'll get around to saving what's left. (Unless it's dead because imgur made it nigh impossible, which I can definitely imagine)
