Thank you to the admins for building and maintaining what is probably the best source of anime on the internet, I'm sorely going to miss this place if it goes.

Yeah, what I'm still thinking is as you stated, you'd post the overall backend code and such when it's due time so someone who's got the time can get the "successor / alternate" site in place when this site ceases to function on the backend (including torrent processing and distributing the files for those who aren't into torrents).

I just hope the "successor site" if any can get implement come or before the May month arrives; I've always been coming here to download episodes from the "Precure" anime shows, including the current one, "Star Detective Precure".

That all said, and as stated earlier, thanks for you 15+ years of service for this place.

Thanks for the comment. There's some discussion going on here on this page, but otherwise this site isn't really meant for discussion. There's plenty of alternatives around the internet.
Some suggestions have been made for alternatives to Usenet mirroring.

I'm not particularly fond of 'official' labeling - I think it makes the most sense for people to decide what they want to do without my influence.
If multiple mirrors pop up, that'd be ideal in my opinion - the community shouldn't be reliant on just one site.

Thank you for all your work over the years.

There seems to be chat about Animetosho coming to an end? Is there no way to continue it? If admin is wanting a break from it could they maybe oversee a continuation via volunteers? I'm sure there will be many mirrors popping up if this site closes but it would be best if there is a sort of official one, no ads, no glowies etc

and also some of us will be kinda homeless if theres no animetosho, it would be handy if there was discussion on how to go about how to anime without this site, man, life with no animetosho is gonna be rough

I just stumbled on this, and I hope I'm wrong but it looks like animetosho is coming to and end? Jeez I'm hoping I'm misreading this, admin, if you do decide to step back from the site I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate a dedicated post so we can all at least comment to say a thank you before the site disapears

Unfortunately this one requires an account to use, which I'm sure for many it's no problem, but it is certainly for me.

> for those who don't want to make an account

You're right, I don't and I never will.

Other than the word "AnimeTosho" , it seems to have nothing to do with creating a site that works like this one.
Looks like either an April Fools gag or an effort to pull eyeballs.

A copy of the message for those who don't want to make an account:


Welcome to AmeNZB!

March 24, 2026
Welcome to ameNZB!

ameNZB is an anime-focused Usenet indexer built for the community. With the legendary AnimeTosho indexer coming to an end, we were inspired to step in and do our part to help fill the gap.

Our approach differs from AnimeTosho. We aim to leverage community-powered torrent proxying to Usenet, creating a more dynamic and scalable system. To support this, we’ll be releasing an app and Docker container that make it easy for users to contribute and participate in community-driven requests. Download

Over time, we plan to introduce incentives for contributors, such as increased NZB downloads, higher API limits, and potentially invites if the platform ever becomes private.

We are currently in an alpha phase, so please be patient with any downtime or performance issues. Your feedback is extremely important to us—we’re building ameNZB to serve the community, and we want to make sure it meets your needs.

After reading some comments from user here, now I'm sure some people don't even know what Anime Tosho actually is and it shows. Thank you for this site.

On the bottom of ameNZB.moe it says "ameNZB operates exclusively as a Usenet indexing service. We do not host, store, or distribute any content.
ameNZB indexes publicly available content from the Usenet network and provides access to NZB files containing reference metadata only."

That is nothing like AT.

Link to introduction post ?

They're not recreating the site, you can read their introduction post.

That would be great.

Would be nice to have a bit more info.

Searching "ameNZB.moe" gives me nothing.

Any evidence that they're really trying to see about "recreating" this site? Because the only thing that they would need is the "backend code" itself to run this place which only this site's administrator has (and as they stated, plan to see about posting the "backend code" in due time, apparently before the site operation itself here shuts down).

i will be happy to have his attention
it's not like im impersonating him uwu

You should not use admin name, possible real admin will change your nickname.

😽

do i look like wife of admin? (edited this profile picture using ffmpeg btw i am still learning)

looks more like takopi

i will miss you so so much

i hope you can't see my ip

now that i created this username i can't delete it but i have no intention of disrespecting the admin, so admin sorry

ameNZB.moe is trying to recreate animetosho, free with little changes

They are already preparing to take over that mirroring duty.

It's okay let them do whatever they want lmao. They'll realize it soon enough.

Mirroring the NZB files here means they will also stop getting new content next month. Part of what Anime Tosho does is take the torrents and create a newsgroup post from them mirroring the content. Once Anime Tosho stops doing that sites won't have anything to borrow unless someone takes over that mirroring duty.

For the Usenet users:
I do not know if you are aware but some Usenet indexers have already been mirroring the NZB files from here to their indexer for many years.

One of them being SceneNZBs - scenenzbs.com.
Go check them out. Registration is open.

For the Torrent and DDL users:
Maybe you want to look into adding Usenet to your setup :-)

i love how admin never showed us ads for his profit just for ease of use, not even a single tracker or anything, god bless you, i hope god makes you more rich

Closer than I like to think about. Need to get my process shifted over to torrent now that nzb mirroring will be ending.

Really hoping someone will use the data that our gracious admin leaves behind for us and makes a site that retains all the past records of old torrents and their respective information (comments included). This site is so amazing because when nyaa takes down a torrent and you can no longer find it this site has a record still of the date it was posted. This history has to be preserved please!

vpn might work, and flud android app

Yes I did, and multiple devices. Others in northern europe have the same issue. It's not a dns block, it's an issue with the anti ddos service that nyaa uses. Other sites that use the same anti ddos service dont work in northern europe.

I can feel the end date closing in

Thanks for your message!
This website will remain after updates stop. I don't know for how long it'll remain online after that (I'll likely monitor traffic and base my decision off that), but I'll likely close all user contributions at some point, then release a stripped copy of the website's database for preservationists.

Hi admin, sad to hear the news.

Idk if you remember me since there are so many people here daily but I'm the dude that created the kanbaru user style a few years back, also the one that provided that kumpulbagi/diskocosmiko upload script right before they both shut down lmao.

You are an inspiration and touched the lives of millions of people with this project. It pains me that it's going away but I know better than trying to change your mind. I can only wonder what's going on in the background that pushed you to this decision.
Please release as much of the components as you possibly can, this is more than a website, it's a piece of history and a beacon of what the internet should be.
Also, if I could ask a selfish request, please export the feedback and torrent comments too. While basic, it's still a time capsule of the community built around here and would hate that to be lost.

Have a good one admin, wish you all the best!

The uploader may have provided such info in the description (you may need to visit source site links to see the full description).
You can also try clicking on the filename to view the mediainfo. If it's available, it will list the audio tracks in the file, under which, search for "Language".

can anyone tell me how to distinguish in the description if the movie has sppeaking english dubbed in cheers

this makes me super sad! this is my favorite site. I liked the variety of downloads as i prefer nzbs, any one have a good suggestion for that?

Only just heard the news or I'd have posted sooner, will definitely be a pity to see the site go.
Even just the extracting of subs has been a great feature, I've used this site hundreds of times over the years for that.
Alone, you've saved the legacy of 11.5 years of fansubs, even after they're long dead and unfindable. Will be looking out for whatever batch files are released.
admin, I hope whatever you move on to is just as successful, and I hope someone else does keep the same ideas alive.

did you try a different dns? sometimes only dns is blocked so you can access nyaa with a different one, i recommend dns.adguard-dns.com just see a yt video or the adguard-dns.com also has method to apply

I love you. Unfortunately websites like nyaa stopped working in northern europe like 1 year ago, so animetosho is really the only website I have been able to use that has a large range of up to date content (without having to use a VPN).
Sad that it's going away. I hope a good alternative will eventually show up.

Yes.
There's been a large backlog of uploads, so they may take a while to appear.

Has any audio been extracted since 1500 yesterday?

Thanks for the suggestion.
I expect traffic here to significantly drop after updates stop. After that, I'll monitor traffic to this site, which I expect to fall off more slowly.
The website will be long gone before 2029, so any requests to the domain would be dead for years before I lose the domain. Anything that happens after that is no longer my concern.

to bad :-(

So far none, maybe there download or streaming sites but shame (poor quality), they might put watermark on videos.
