    I bought Crunchyroll for a year because it was like 3usd for me but I’d recommend using Nyaa for anime. It’s simply the most reliable source.

      I’ve used nyaa for many years. I never even knew about animekai because I’ve never felt a need to look elsewhere for anything.

        Torrenting is definitely superior to streaming, the torrents always have a higher quality than the bitrates the streaming sites put out.

          I generally prefer torrenting over streaming but not for anime.

          I’m getting through some old series with 50+ episodes/season and can get through 8 episodes of a show on weekdays and 24+ on weekends.

          I don’t want to have to house that many episodes of many different series on my hard drive for something I won’t rewatch. Rewatched shows I’ll gladly torrent.

            I basically never rewatch shows which is why I stream stuff.

      I highly recommend that people use the built-in RSS feeds in Nyaa, which automatically generates RSS feeds[1] for a user or a search (or a search within a user, which is what I tend to do—this is what happens when you click on an uploader’s name and then perform a search). It makes it really easy to set up automatic downloads for specific releases; qBittorrent has this functionality built-in and lets you further filter the results. I basically just set it up once at the beginning of the season and then the episodes roll in as they’re posted.


      1. These are accessible via the “RSS” option in the top menu ↩︎

        I prefer intelligence agencies wasting their time fighting digital piracy than doing worse harm to people…

            Rawr! Here’s me and Comrade Cuddles last Halloween. He gives the best hugs… even though he’s a Maoist and he can be a bit of a sectarian crank.

            This is the leftist bear website, aren’t we all Commie Bears of some kind? I like to think I’m more of a Soviet Bear than a panda, but Comrade Cuddles thinks it’s funny when I dress up as a panda to match himbs. Maybe next October I’ll find him a teddy sized grizzly bear suit or brown bear ears and we’ll dress as matching Soviet Bears…

    Must be NorthC in Almere. It didn’t burn down, but there was a fire last Thursday. They are waiting for a critical component (delivery delayed) for their redundant power delivery, so lateron they can switch back without outages to normal power delivery from the national grid. The component is expected today and the datacenter powered up tomorrow according to NorthC as technicians will work round the clock once the component is in to get things back to normal.

      That datacenter might be going back up but AnimeKai have a message telling people to backup their lists and promoting alternatives because they can’t recover from this.

      Animepahe.pw is where many are gravitating but I personally like https://reanime.to/ for the UI
