I just discovered this site and this is the only site that lets me download a really obsolete anime that i was searching for. i am sad that this will be gone but thank you so much for the wonderful site.
Thankful to you for this site and my finding it maybe around 6 or 7 years ago after the other mainly checking a few sub group's pages for their updates. From this found some other sub groups I liked the work of which helped replace most the ones I follow decades ago that all left/retired. Hope all the best for whatever it is you do in future.
Welp, sucks to see this place get shut down I do hope this project gets passed on (like if you change your mind, but you seemed to have made up your mind) it's been great I was excited to see what theme / character you would use for each season every year this site has been a great part of my anime watching adventures it was fast, simple no fuss and I'll be going back to tokyo tosho (what i personally used before discovering you guys) & bookmark everythingmoe thank you for everything Admin and good luck with your future projects I'm sure they'll be just as awesome if not more!

I dont know who or where you are, just wanted to let you know, that your website has been part of my life these past 15 years. Would have missed countless Anime without AT and you cant even begin to imagine, how greatful I am for all the work you put into this site. So it was hearbreaking to read by the end of last year, that you would shut it down permanently. Honestly still kind of a numbing feeling, knowing it will end in rougly a week. Still wanted to express my gratitude for your hard work and invested time. Wish you all the best and hopefully, someone will continue this project in the future.
I am going to miss AT very much. I only discovered it recently (within the last year) and it has proven absolutely invaluable. I can understand you wanting to pass the torch on after 15 years - does anyone know if there is any other site that at least goes someway towards providing the same, or some of the same, information to access torrents?
This might be the last week this site will work normally, and then I guess that's it. Thank you for helping me downloading Anime all this time. I'm gonna miss AT a lot. Good luck.

What do you think are debrid services, OCH are doing then? They all are making money knowing their service is going to be used for illegal activities (distributing content). You could also expand this logic to vpn providers and seedboxes etc. too.
Art books give as much as anything else, in fact the publisher eats a lot of the profits, and nothing goes to the studio and the remaining profits go to the artist.
Just admit you can't afford it, or don't want to pay at al.

This is devastating. This was my go to site for all my DDL needs and no other site came even close for all those years I'm on here.
Thank you for everything you've done and your contribution to the scene.
I actually pay just for a VPS (a server) I use a seedbox. I am not against the concept of paying money to get my anime, I just don't want to give one cent to Crunchyroll ever. Besides, buying something like an official artbook probably gives the studio more money than me watching it via some Californian company that hates anime.
i guess you mean will subs of source A will work on video of source B, so yes utill it's the exact same episode, because dialogues have same timestamps
he's a grown man with responsibilities, and keeping a site like this would take atleast 5hrs of my day (im a slow person), also just having a site like this is a very big risk and not normal thing
Thank you brother for everything to your success what ever you choose to be and become ๐ hope your well and all your family is well too๐๐ Hope everyone's well too๐ Quick question will the subs work on any episode for the right episode if that makes sense?
I have just one question I am feeling deeply depressed while hearing this service going down, my one question to the admin why do you want to shut it down a whole story, just because I feel deeply attached and emotional to it, can you just give me answer for one last time?
I've discovered this site not that long ago, and setting up RSS feeds for torrents is much simpler and more convenient than over at nyaa, so I used AT for the previous season, and also set up everything for this season too. I might be new here, but I'm still going to miss this place, so thanks for everything.
because the technical debt in the code would make it less fun to run AT
If you're saying that's a key reason, I wouldn't call that an accurate assessment. It's not like I'm incapable of changing code that I find problematic. I suspect that your evaluation of "technical debt" differs from mine, which is hardly surprising, given the massive difference in familiarity with it. (note, I'm not saying your evaluation is "wrong", rather that everyone other than myself would have a different perspective to me)

I think doxxing yourself to test out if stuff of you is public online is the just the right thing to do?

@Admin
Thank you for the reply~<3
In my last post I meant to express that I feel you for closing down AT, because the technical debt in the code would make it less fun to run AT. Apart from the financial and operational burden.
Stay well and have fun with your new next projects~<3
I feel that you might be trivialising it a bit too much (then again, I do that a bit as well). It might seem 'easy', but there's a degree of discipline that you need to maintain. And it's easy to slip up.
I suspect half of those "anonymous bullet-proof" hosts are just scams, and those that aren't are typically flaky at best. Those that have some reputation may decide to charge a fortune, given the niche they're in. Although it's not particularly that hard to figure out the right host, I'd hardly call it a straightforward matter either.
I guess you will have to look for a VPN: https://www.youtube.com/@techlore/search?query=vpn And hook qBittorrent to VPN by going to Options > Advanced > Network Interface > VPN Service you bought. So you can safely use torrents, unless your Internet Provider hates VPNs too.
Administrator, thank you for all your hard work running Anime Tosho. Since I canโt use torrents and can only watch anime via DDL, the loss of Anime Tosho is a real blow to me. I hope a good alternative or successor DDL site will emerge.
Staying anon is orders of magnitude easier than the boring stuff of running a site.
You could basically just pay some anon-friendly hosting provider in some random DMCA-resistant country in Monero, log in via a privacy focused VPN, and that's all entirely solved. Money aside anybody can do this much.
He already replied to something like this, seems he doesn't want someone else to just bastardize his dear project, and instead wishes someone else would make their own thing (possibly with the help of his own code) instead of just relying on some random anon half-assedly running the site. I imagine he wants to fuck off into the wilderness and never hear about hosting a site ever again, which I can understand.
Sad to see that this site is going. It was a fantastic way to easily search for torrents of anime subs as I still use that method to download files so I don't need to resort to streaming.
Anyone know of alternative torrent sites for anime these days? Shana project is pretty bad now & Nyaa is really hard to search.
This is devastating the site was the most reliable and constant way to find dubbed anime losing this site has generally got me depressed, but thank you for all you've done over the past years in running the site enable me to find many good anime's. I have no right to be asking this since I lack the knowledge nor the funds to run a site like this, but are you unwilling to hand it off to somebody if they are willing and able.
