Absolutely butcher all upscale faggotry with a thousand knives. You need to be utterly stamped out, and no amount of your suffering is sufficient for what you deserve.

I'm genuinely scared for the future of pirating, what'll happen when they crack down on everything? It's not like they'll actually license and release all the stuff we pirate anyway, so some shows, no matter how good, will just fade away to be lost forever

Utterly predictable, desperate flailing. I have been involved in anime since before you were born.

Just a sea of pathetic suburban shitstains never leaving their hovels whining they can't pirate anymore. Boo fucking hoo.

Seadex lists it as the best release available. Ostensibly AB does too since they normally don't allow upsacles either but allowed the ARC release on their site anyway.
Idk, the BDs were cross converted or something like that. Also a worse upscale than this ARC dvd upscale by Urotsuki. They are blurrier than the DVDs with less grain
Also the color primary or something was tagged weird in urotsukis BD encode and playing it on mpv with GPU-next made it super dark like the r1 DVDs. But it displayed fine on regular vo=GPU
Idk if that was a weird config issue or what but a few other people had the same problem.
ARC release is sharpened but I don't see any of the artifacting that some other people mention about it, and stuff like Pariah or Kuchikirukia are just too blurry.

>Seadex lists it as the best release available.
I have bad news for you. The person running seadex is not only a tranny. They list their tranny cabal's shitty CR releases above everyone else's. They are so anti-fansub it's not funny. I've seen several groups banned from nyaa just in the last 2-3 years. It's so bad actual groups won't even use the tracker anymore even through burner accounts. They're also selling accounts for $500+ each when they create them for free for their tranny friends.

I connected to discord one day to lurk their servers to find out wtf was going on (it was horrible). I used some browser script I've forgotten to snoop around to see what private channels they had. I found one called "straightphobic" that they deleted the moment I posted a screenshot of what I found on /a/. The seadex admin is the worse kind of tranny. The terminally online 24/7 uses a picture of their Frankenstein face as their avatar and does nothing but rant about what people post on /a/ kind of tranny. They have alert bots set-up to alert their channel any time one of their screennames or group names gets posted on /a/, reddit, twitter etc.

They've also somehow gotten their own releases listed above everyone else's in those gay auto-downloaders all the zoomers use to keep their Plex and Jellyfin servers up to date.

These people aren't even doing real fansubs. They're all CR rips with dogshit subtitles. The other anon is right if you haven't learned Japanese by now you might as well stop watching.

The thing that hurts the most is the fact that these people have gotten all the old 80s-2000s era xvid and h.264 releases delisted from places like nyaa. So you can't even grab those old releases anymore to get the script and apply it to new BDs when those come out. They hoard them for themselves so they can have a monopoly on that stuff.

>>285857294
Wasn't it super dead because everyone is using nyaa and PTs?

what the hell are you talking about dude Seadex isn't a release group and the releases that get decided as best are decided on through arguments in the discord which are open to everyone
and idk why you bring up fansubs when they don't focus on it at all whatsoever, they prioritize video quality over everything else

>>285858602
This, btw I'm definitely not affiliated with them and definitely am not linking this thread into our, I mean, the, discord

>>285858543
I mean sneedex also listed it as their best before their admin shelved it

>>285858551
I was using it and tokyotosho to do releases lately because it's impossible to use nyaa now with the way the mods are. They are like 4chan mods. They'll use one of the many rules to ban someone/some release but in reality they're just swinging around ban hammers at anyone that isn't part of their little club. It's much worse than the 2010s-era cabal. Nyaa is being run by actual CR employees now.

>>285858587
I called them trannys because they are actual trannys. They all proudly list their pronouns and all they talk about is their transitions. There was not one straight person among the bunch.

Why? Fuck if I know. But that's what's going on. The seadex admin is the ugliest person I've ever seen in my life. I can't believe they willingly use their own picture for their avatar. They must know they look horrible if they're willingly taking that many pictures of themselves.

Go look if you don't believe me. I don't feel like going back in there to post screenshots. I was scarred for life the first time and it made me very sad.

Now I just release my shit on my XDCC bot and let someone else worry about dealing with putting it on trackers.

The mark of no one with no argument. You're proving me right by sperging out this hard at the mention of it.

Plenty of companies over the years have gamed the warez scene to get their own shit listed and actual groups banned. Game companies do it all of the time to ensure only their own release is on there which locks out content or gives a troll end screen.

There are many real fansub groups still around yet almost none of them are listed on nyaa. Meanwhile, you fags running nyaa, seadex, and private trackers are uploading straight CR rips with bad translations while begging for donations and making hundreds a month from automated scripts and selling accounts.

$500 for some discord mod to make you an account on a tracker that costs them nothing. Then you turn around and expect anyone to believe registration is closed because
>it's too much spam to moderate! You don't understand!
While you've got like 30+ moderators that do absolutely nothing.

A tiny number of companies have done this as a type of experiment.
But 99% of games on the CS forums will not have a 'fake' rip uploaded. It is rare enough that news articles are written about it when it does occur.
You are inventing things that don't happen to use as an example of why something else that doesn't happen, must happen.

You now realize that you're spamming tranny shit (which you kept on your hard disk) on an anime image board.

I have never used Seadex and have no idea what it is or what all this autistic drama is about exactly
S# and some of these other names belong to the (DDY?) fansub cartel, which is where groups like Salchow or SobsPlease come from
This guy posting Discord screenshots is probably that schizo that did a fancy Onimai release and then seethed for some reason I don't remember, I think someone apparently stole their glory on Nyaa or something
Same guy also worked on a few episodes of Shikanoko before dropping it in an autistic rage

Mangadex has ruined manga piracy to be honest. Everyone uploads there now instead of releasing proper .cbz. It's really pathetic that the western comic fags have active p2p communities sharing .cbr/.cbz files while we have nothing but a dumb website that takes down stuff for DMCA all of the time. I'm pretty sure they're hoping to do what CR did eventually and will end up fucking us all over. They already deleted a ton of stuff last year.

>>285859186
>>285859204
>>285859235
I mean there are literally releases no longer indexed on anywhere in the net except AB or u2.
Sure, it's not like you need a private tracker to find specific anime, but finding specific releases is another thing entirely

>>285859311
did you just forgo reading the rest of the sentence?

You stop caring so much about specific releases when you learn Japanese

>>285859348
Who's fault is that though? Most of that stuff was on animesuki and nyaa for years until the current people took nyaa over. A lot of it was on pantsu.

I usually have no issue finding those releases on XDCC bots but yeah you do have to hunt around for them. I will go out of my way to watch anything but a CR rip. Even if it's an old realmedia or xvid hardsub. I'd rather have that than whatever CR has shit out.

It's weird that I never see schizos like this on this board usually. Maybe because I don't post in threads about bigger shows?
>>285859347
I agree. I try to download if I can but so often I have to end up going there or scraping from there because there isn't any other place to look. Downloading anime is in a much better place than downloading manga.
This wouldn't be an issue if japs would just make a way to easily buy and download quality translations but they don't want to for some reason. They just want to bitch about the west while simultaneously not providing the west with good ways to get stuff.
I would actually buy both physical and digital manga volumes if I didn't have to jump through hoops for a product that ends up being worse than random fan TLs half the time

Scanlators have never really used cbz anyway.

>>285859396
>This wouldn't be an issue if japs would just make a way to easily buy and download quality translations but they don't want to for some reason. They just want to bitch about the west while simultaneously not providing the west with good ways to get stuff.
There are two primary reasons why they won't do it. The first is they don't want to hurt domestic sales of the magazines and paperbacks they issue (3 limited editions!). The second is the publishing houses in the west doing the awful translations don't want to lose their monopoly.

If it wasn't for those two things they would have moved over to digital a long time ago. The real crime is no one has released a proper two-screen tablet in the book form factor. All the tablets I've tried are horrible. I keep trying to replace my real books with one and I've given up.

>>285859427
Most of the people claiming they want the best video and audio are stupid though. They download multi-GB per episode BD rips where half the data is for digital grain. You could apply a mild filter on it. It would look exactly the same and reduce the file size by over half.

>>285859434
They all fled to private discord servers because this new batch of scanlators are fucking stupid and don't think they'll get taken down. They don't care about releasing a .cbz they care about donation money. Most of them use machine translation.

Most translators are 3rd worlders who want to push ad traffic to their sites, so Mangadex is just an advertising platform where they post old releases and try to redirect people to their own sites.

Is it just Eva threads? I never run into these fags in places I tend to go. Honestly surprised people still talk about Eva as much as they do, it's good and all but there are way better shows/manga/LNs out there. But I guess there is an argument for other /a/ shows that probably have schizos.
>>285859456
They really should, it's nice.
>>285859459
I would rather have machine TL than nothing, but most of the machine TL fags are too lazy to even assemble the word salad it outputs into grammatically correct English, which is the part that frustrates me the most. I've never done any scanlation so I respect the effort of cleaning and the like, but so many barely even do that, much less have comprehensible sentences.

>>285859366
Do your eyes forget how to notice shit bitrate? Even among raws you need to hunt for the right releases.

>>285859509
The horrible English really takes you out of the world the author is attempting to build. I was trying to fap to genderbent doujin last week but I couldn't finish because whoever TLed the thing kept referring to a
>hunted house
and there were large blocks where I had no idea what the fuck was being said. Then when you get to the last page it begs for donations in perfect English.

>Then when you get to the last page it begs for donations in perfect English
This is the biggest insult right here. Barely understandable until it is time to beg. I would never give money to these faggots regardless, but at least for the quality translations that work hard to edit and clean pages there is an argument for it. But for this type of faggot it would only take a bit more time to hacksaw the translation into an actual sentence, do a TL note on a google search, etc.

>>285859575
I'll let you in on a little secret: They're the same exact .torrent files with the same exact trackers. You do not need the tracker. You can use the magnet. You're seeing one tracker reporting the number of seeds from 3 weeks ago vs. 3 hours ago. If you bother to connect you'd find plenty of seeds if the torrent is more than a couple of hours old.

The fact that people haven't moved on from trackers over to pure magnets and an indexer after 25 years is really stupid.

>>285859509
>Honestly surprised people still talk about Eva as much as they do, it's good and all but there are way better shows/manga/LNs out there.
It's the same bunch of autists chatting there everyday for years. In fact, the one you've replied to was mindbroken by Eva 4.0 when it just came out and is always seething when the boy in glasses gets mentioned.

He'll probably samefag to this post and try to push his own narrative but you can always post kensuke in a eva thread and see what happens

>>285859427
>>285859521
Until the BDs are out everything just looks like some flavor of shit so you learn to put up with it. If you're really autistic about it then you wouldn't watch anime seasonally at all

>>285859600
Ironically, of all the groups I follow the ones that are doing a human translation and clean up never ask for money. They say to donate to the mangaka's fanbox instead. It's only the ESLs that live some place where you can live off $2 a day that beg for donation money ime. I've never sent a dime to anyone and I'm not about to start now.

>>285857294
Wow, that sucks. The DDLs going away is already bad as people have said, but it's also a longterm disaster in that new releases won't be uploaded regularly to Usenet anymore, making them less likely to be preserved in the future. Why couldn't this guy just give the site to somebody else to keep it running?

So what's the plan when nyaa go down (again)?

>>285859653
i mean anyone who want's to can start a site like this.
he will share the data and the scripts

>>285859633
Not him but Eva 4.0 was dogshit, all of the Rebuilds were. If anything I wonder why the fuck Evafags would even be talking about them

>>285859683
>and the scripts
I think he said he won't?

>>285859633
Wouldn't be shocked. Some people on this board get obsessed with stuff that I wouldn't call great. Good at best - some of it even mediocre. Eva is good but how you can still discuss that show is beyond crazy to me when there are more esoteric shows out there and it has already been discussed to death. I just watched Revolutionary Girl Utena recently, and it was more esoteric with what was a dream and what actually happened and I barely see discussion on that despite it being about the same quality as pre rebuild eva.
>>285859649
I see a couple that do sometimes, it is usually for more niche series that have a miraculously good TL. But regardless, groups that actually have passion are obviously going to be higher quality than those who are low effort

>>285858794
>I don't know what sneedex' relation to seadex was
They are same. All 3 indexes (fansub index, seadex, sneedex) are run by the cartel who despise and actively try to sabotage real f/a/nsub releases.

>In the upcomming months (possibly after updates cease), I hope to release the code to more components of Anime Tosho (some components are already available here).

However I do hope this inspires alternatives to AT show up.

That torrent is two years out of date now. They post threads every month here and update these two MEGAs

https://mega.nz/folder/yvIiRK6b#qYDAA2RRswh_RQXtSBz1PQ

I read the manga. They release a new one on the first and last Friday of every month and post it in the Onimai threads. I think the torrent had a couple of corrupted .cbz files that were fixed on the above MEGA.

They have have an XDCC bot to but I forget what the link is.

>>285857294
Well, this fucking sucks.

Shit. I used the episodes/series view to catch torrents I'd missed, and to grab subtitles to put on raws. The caps helped a few times in the past when Crunchyroll uploaded the wrong show. Couldn't they remove the DDLs and just do the other bits?

>>285859611
No, I mean releases from older times or smaller subgroups are usually ass to download. That's why I gave up on them and just download from the cartel, which is easiest to find on Nyaa.

Horrible file format. Often contains malware
>epub
Horrible for manga. Only good for LNs. .cbz is used for manga because it's just a zip file renamed filled with images. Maybe some metadata. So it works everywhere.

.epub is only needed for LNs because they often contain more advanced formatting (xml) and embedded links for things like the table of contents. It also mixes text with formatting with images. You don't need any of that shit for manga.

.cbr is acceptable but I don't know why anyone uses it. I always pull the images out and re-zip them and rename to .cbz to keep my archive consistent.

I'm not quite as strict as you are, I'll watch official rips when that's what's available, but I feel you on that. I'm glad I was smart enough to just keep the old fansubs I downloaded back in the day instead of replacing them with "better" DVD/BD rips like so many people did. That genuine old-school otaku viewing experience is far more valuable to me than alleged improvements in video quality, which in most cases aren't even noticeable on one of those comparison websites that zooms into the screenshots. I'm convinced at this point that videophiles are nearly as autistic as audiophiles.
I feel bad for anyone trying to start a collection now. All of piracy centralizing around torrents because that's the only thing normalfags know how to use has been awful for media preservation, at least as far as anime is concerned. It's done nothing but empower the private tracker spergs who care more about making people jump through hoops for them and kiss their ass than sharing anything.

That release has caused so much butthurt over the past few years. I saw people on twitter crying about it and everything. Gender Bender anime is weird. On one hand you have gay niggas that want to live vicariously through the MC. On the other hand you have straight niggas that want to become real 2D girls who live vicariously through the MC. When these two groups clash it's always funny.

I'll never understand the first group. They know the genre has nothing to do with them yet they try to claim it anyway and get angry when people get rightfully upset that they're ruining the series by trying to make it into faggot shit. Everyone knows that gender bender has been a patricians fetish since the the beginning of time. The last thing a fan of gender bender wants to hear about is gay people IRL talking about gay shit. They've already given up on 3DPD and they want to be cute girls. They don't want to hear about penises and neovaginas.

It's funny that GB and yurifags are leading the charge against faggots. The faggots have made everyone so angry that the fujos are teaming up with the yurifags now to try and fight against the hoards of normalfags.

This is what people get wrong, it's not a "secret club" for the sake of being secretive and exclusive. The sites literally need people to know their way with torrents, or they wouldn't survive. That's how they guarantee quality and tons of seeders.

If you still want to hate on PT for the sake of hating, that's fine, but don't act like people in there don't care about sharing because they do.

>>285858237
>I'm genuinely scared for the future of pirating,
I'm not. Hard drives are cheap these days, any person who has a copy of all anime is a potential saviour of the entire pirating scene. So I think it's easy to revive. You can buy an 8TB drive on amazon for $200 or something. So you can have 100TB with $2000.

You only need somewhere between 80 TB to 200 TB of hard drive space to have a copy of everything. (my own calculations + also asking AI)
