Aniverse is down from DDoS just like MIRCX, most likely by the same person.
Rizon and EFnet are the top to choices, put simply, EFnet is big, stable, and has a history, but not nickserv/chanserv etc. Topic length is maxed at about 110 characters I believe, and nicks are a max of 9 characters. It's been this way for years, most likely won't change. Though the nick might have a small increase in length soon, according to an IRC-op on EFnet.
Rizon is small, but will be adding servers, the owner is encouraging anime groups to join it, it has nickserv/chanserv etc, and has a channel, #anime-help on irc.rizon.net that has been set up to help people moving to that network.
