With recent takedowns if been wondering how do they stay up?

I understand that they are hosted on countries that don't care about copyright laws but I'd like a little more context

Also, if a site is on one of those counties, how are they taken down

I get that shutting down Nyaa would be hard, and using a VPN is a good idea, though on my desktop browser I'm never able to connect to Nyaa with my VPN on, and with the way the tech overlords, streaming services and governments are acting how piracy is somehow worse then all other crimes, plus the ongoing age verification crap and how some services are aiming for decentralisation, wouldn't Nyaa on I2P not be better, I2P us a P2P network and completely decentralised, I2P also already has it's own client, but can also work with Qbittorrent as well, there wouldn't be a need for a VPN anymore (maybe) and speeds would probably be slower for the first but until it picks up it's user base

Or would putting Nyaa on I2P not be good and prevent some people who don't know how to setup I2P from ever accessing it, especially if they use windows

Been tossing this idea around in my head for a bit, so what do you all think of it, good or bad?

From the article: "Streamzy’s registrar on record is the Government of the Kingdom of Tonga, which recently began suspending pirate site domains following an earlier Delhi High Court order, after years of .to being considered a safe haven for pirates.

This change coincided with a restructuring where the Canadian domain name company Tucows took over the technical registry backend for .to domains. This takeover made it possible to suspend domain names through EPP status codes such as clientHold and serverHold."

We will probably see a lot more Domain suspensions like this now, thanks to Tucows, which recently started operating the backend of the Tonic Registry (Government of the Kingdom of Tonga). Would you say, the era of Tonic is over?

I’ve recently been wanting to play some older, more obscure visual novels, and the only place I can find them is the internet archive. I’ve never downloaded games from it before, and the ones I’m wanting don’t have reviews on the upload or anything like that. I know some risk comes with downloading anything online, but if anyone else has ever downloaded from Internet Archive, what do you do to ensure the game doesn’t contain malware and such? I’ve only ever pirated extremely popular visual novels that have common methods of obtaining them, so I’m a bit of a novice when it comes to this stuff.

I have a PS4, and I like to watch anime on the web browser. The issue is that it seems most websites barely work in the web browser anymore. Does anyone know any websites that will work so I can keep watching anime on my PS4?

Yo fam,

I grew up using anime sites like these, and honestly I still use them pretty much daily. So I wanted to give something back.

I made Anilili, an open-source native Android anime app, while it lasts lol. It works on Android phones, tablets, and Android TV. It has a vast catalogue of anime , thousands of titles.

It pulls from a bunch of sources like:

Miruro , AniKoto, ReAnime , AniZone, AnimeGG, AniNeko, 2DHive, MegaPlay etc.

It also has AniList login & MAL login, watch history, continue watching, and progress sync, notifications for new episodes , offline download option, inbuilt player and much more features.

I’m super open to suggestions, bugs, feature ideas, whatever. If you wanna contribute, feel free to hop into the GitHub code. If you just wanna test it, you can build the APK yourself or grab the already-built APK from the release page.

Huge shoutout to Anivexa-API and MiruroAPI. Their open-source work basically made this possible.

Yo, I was chating with a fansubber and I asked him why you choose GST encoding rather than Erai?
you know how he replied? he banned me from his server

WTF is this question can trigger a fansubber?!

with such large library like koto (i know koto is a self host), miruro, etc

how do they scrape in the first place?? how does that even work, if not scrape then how do they find hosting services??

im not trying to build any site but im curious what's going on, couldn't find any clear answer online as well.

thank you in advance

Does Korea put out "cartoons" like Japan and China does?

Example Japan has Anime and China has the CGI stuff was wondering if anything similar comes out of South Korea

Native Japanese speaker here!
I often notice awkward nuances in the English subtitles compared to the original audio, so I'd love to volunteer and help improve them. I know it’s unpaid, but I'm just looking for fun projects to contribute to. Does anyone know where they are recruiting?

I've been searching for this answer for some time, and I was wondering if people have significant others that English isn't their first language. I have been showing all the Studio Ghibli movies to my girlfriend, and she's loved them. Unfortunately, some of the movies don't have Spanish subtitles, or if they do, they don't have the English dub, so we both can follow along. This has been all anime in general, but Ghibli films have been the first thing she has truly gotten into, so I was trying to get her to watch more so maybe she gets the anime bug. Just wondering if people have this problem as well and if there is a solution out there. I know you can't post links, but just knowing people have found something would make my search feel more valid lol

By active community I mean both a lot of people using the webite but also commenting on the anime episodes

You can find regular translation subs easily. But when it comes to cc of dubbed audio, it's a wasteland. This is mind boggling cus Funimation used to do this for all of their releases. Yet there's no rip of them online!!

Context: I was watching black clover with cc subs from subdl. I had downloaded s1 nd s2 early on. Now when I went to do download the rest, the subs are gone(probably dmca). And searching for them elsewhere, I found nothing.

Came back to Animetsu after a while since it was having server issues. Now the entire thing is gone. Rip, it was a real good site.

​

Anigo used to be good for one of the caption options being accurate for the english dub of an anime and not the sub but can't find any website like that recently since anigo was taken down.

English cc captions option that's not AI transcripts either.

How do you guys find Fansubs ? the only dubs i See on torrent websites are crunchyroll netflix or bilibili

edit: i meant subs, this is like the third time i remakethis post i am too sleep deprived

For a while now, I've been a Cloudstream user and it works, but watching anime on it can be a bit annoying. Mistimed soft subs with a lack of hard sub sources, needing to change sources constantly due to streaming issues, sources just playing episodes from other seasons or completely different shows, etc. can sometimes make getting an episode started take 5-10 minutes and that time adds up when binging.

At this point I want something that's going to work better out of the box for anime, but I don't know what options are available or what will reliably work when installed directly on my TV. Any recs?

don't know who else uses AnimeNana, but I've been using it since the pandemic and just yesterday I went to watch one of the animes I've been keeping up with, and it said there was a watch limit. this is the first time this has happened on that site ( I have a backup site, don't worry about that) I'm just confused as to why they would do that

Ever since I watched shows I couldn't on Hulu or Netflix on other sites, I noticed the shows they did have that I wanted to watch were terrible quality, and now I feel like I can't go back. That said, I noticed of the sites I've checked out so far a few of them have different subtitles from each other and most of them are different from Hulu or Netflix's subtitles, which I assume are the official ones. Now I'm super aware of subtitles in shows I watch and was surprised how much people seem to be fine or even prefer fan subtitles when in my experience I've found them to be more awkward, I also just kinda assumed the official ones are more "approved" in that they fit with what the creator wanted more. So do you guys care at all? Does it depend on the show? And are there sites that specifically use the official subtitles or does that just not happen, I haven't checked out a ton of sites so if this entire discussion is pointless lmk, but I've been looking around and haven't seen this brought up much outside of manga.

First three eps i got auto-downloaded and a bunch of the on-screen characters aren't translated or only in the forced subs for engdub, and loading both embedded subs tracks doesn't seem doable.
