Just wondering where you guys get your anime fixes from. I'm really into anime, but my love for it is regenerating and I'm compelled to try to get a 31GB file of all the Ranma 1/2 episodes and the movies. 31GB. Oy. Plus, I still want to get the Marmalade Boy and Azumanga Daioh series, which are about 4GB each. I'm going to try and get them from Hongfire. So, where do you get your's from?

[wakuwaku]

For large batches I look into Box Torrents , but since I started getting jpop stuffs Im on hold with anime batches

31gbs to complete Ranma wish i had better connection to download everything i want "-_-

[Sukachu]

Maybe you should try: www.animesuki.com .

[ojisan74]

animesuki is the best for anything NOT licensed in the US. If you want those series, I can't help. Aone and ANBU the best for Naruto. Lunar and A-Keep also do great job with the things they sub.

Animesuki is good for new releases...
Most of my new stuff came from there

[wakuwaku]

Animesuki is cool , you can try Download Anime ORG or Baka Updates too

cant remember any other big sites

www.tokyotosho.com seems to be the heir apparent to mircx/mirkx which was a pretty good site before it disappeared.

haven't been into the anime scene lately because i don't think any of the recent stuff is interesting enough to see. though, I have to check out the new ah my goddess tv series that recently started.

[Sukachu]

Hmm, maybe this site: http://a.scarywater.net works pretty good for my Naruto episode (Anbu&AonE) and Gundam things (Herolegends) . BUT first you have to know who's fansubbing the anime, then you'll choose the name of that one and just hope they got the anime you want .

I always get my Naruto episodes from AnimeSuki. The rest I dowload from the usual anime hubs on DC, like that AnimExclusive hub which Kaizoku Fansubs linked me to. I downloaded 25 episodes of Full Metal Alchemist just last week, but I haven't gotten around to watch them yet.
Anyways, there's lots of anime on DC, so of if you're looking for something you will find it there.

hey guys thanks for the links

[Chr0n0]

For Manga, www.dailymanga.org is a good site to check out, if there is a manga translation project of a title, its most likely listed there

I get my Manga mostly from IRC, there's one channel exclusively for Manga group staffs where we can get each other's releases (I'm a translator for a manga group), but for general manga for download, #[email protected] is quite good, we have quite a few big fservers, and @find is allowed :3

yeah tokyotosho.com is great. i usually just go on mirc and get the files. i use tokyotosho to see whats out. baka-updates.com is also good to see whats been released.

[velven]

Can anyone tell me where to find Good quality RAW anime?
i'm looking for naruto's and GDS's, mainly

[yangkuang]

Uhm, I used to use DC++ for anime, but since I don't have time to watch it anymore, I haven't used it for a while... o_O

[Rabiesfish]

what do you mean raw? the naruto subtitled anyway, any more raw and you would have to rented from the video store

[Asayan]

All of the above and also http://www.hongfire.com, but their bt section is offline for update currently

[erichuuu]

what do you mean raw?

"raw" means the video file before subtitled like most of the files on Hello! Tracker, no subtitle, the same exact video that was on tv...

[TheDarkHaze]

I generally use IRC to get anime. Occasionally bittorrent if the bots are slow on releases or the group has lousy bots =/ Otherwise if I need older releases I would use DC++ and use my schools hub. The people on their have insane collections o_O Collectively 5 guys have roughlt 20TB (terrabytes, 1 terrabyte = 1024 gigs) of anime related material. I roughly have...mmm 500 gigs or so >_<

Uhm, I used to use DC++ for anime, but since I don't have time to watch it anymore, I haven't used it for a while... o_O

Theres a couple ways for raws, the easiest would be bittorrent and rely on raw groups to release the raws you want, for example saiyaman or l33t-raws.

http://www.saiyaman.info/ <-- saiyaman
http://www2.l33t-raws.org/bt/ <-- l33t-raws

However if you want a broader range of raws you can get a program called winmx, it is a typical p2p, there are certain "japanese anime" hubs such as anime-fantasia. And generally certain raw hunters (people who hunt for raws) or raw providers hang out on these hubs. When using winmx you'll need the 2.86(I think it's .86, I know it's generation 2) version and access to these "hubs" Where you get the information...you'll have to look it up yourself =/ I haven't gone raw hunting for a while...been out of the subbing business for a little bit =(

Anyhow that's the "active but not destructive" way of finding raws.

The most efficient way of gathering raws is using a program called winny, which is a japanese p2p client, similar to winmx, but only in japanese. This requires you to change your language settings to Japanese instead of English or whatever language you have as default.

BTW for both winmx and winny you will need to know how to write japanese otherwise when you search for "raws" nothing will come up. Or rather only teh subbed ones will come up, which...isn't quite what you want. I suggest using JWPce for example to write in japanese and copy and paste into winmx or whichever program you wish.

Now the very VERY best is to of course find a friend in japan to record it for you and then send it to you =P

(Oddly enough I know like 2 people living in japan...yet I don't get raws from them o_O)

[velven]
