Thanks. For all goods days.

Damn, AniTosho closing wasn't part of my bingo card for this week :(

As other have already I add my thanks to the admin, AT was part of my daily routine for more than a decade and while I am sad to see it go and would love to have somebody take over, I am still happy that you quit on your own terms and not because you are forced to.

All the best for your future endeavor you will be missed.

Thanks for running this over the years. I've used it on several occasions to help salvage old, otherwise unarchived releases to reupload elsewhere. The site's undoubtedly helped preserve at least a few entire anime series that I know of.

Thanks for all you've done admin.  Providing a final database like that shows what a class act you are!

Thank You for turning your hobby into sharing with others.
I understand why you decided on a clean break as an ending, even as I wish for an unrealistic alternative.

I came across Your site as anime for profit sites used fansubs groups output to fund their destruction, then attack free net viewing sites. We have come full circle now that sub groups rip directly from the pay to view that killed them.

Last nights hunt for alternate non torrent sources for downloads just made me more thankful for your tremendous contribution to helping me enjoy anime.

Thank you so much for the decade+ of such an unbelievable resource. Like an oasis in the desert that could be tapped. I hope the best for you.
If I may ask, not sure if this is the proper place, is there even anything close to AT out there that I could use? This place was so simple and powerful, I imagine there isn't anything up to the standard, but something to get my weeklies would be fantastic. TY

From the bottom of my heart thank you for all that you've done. I wish you the best in your endeavors and hope you have a deep found joy in your life for all the days to come.

All good things must come to an end. I've been enjoying the nzb posting for some years now since I moved back to primarily using Usenet. A lot of anime on Usenet is probably from this site which is probably the best long term access to files as torrents can rapidly die. I'm sure others will take up a similar mantle, at least for the usenet component. I have downloaded articles, its a pain and most applications just collapse under downloading nearly a terabyte of headers. (I was/semi-actively looking for some of the oldest fansubs on Usenet).

Hopefully a few request (none planned right now) can be filled to age in the future of these files.

I wish you the best.

Thank you so much for taking care of this site during all these years! It worked so reliably and smoothly that I tend to forget that it must have had to take lots of effort to make it work well.
I liked that the frontend stayed simple and "no BS" all this time despite the trends and fads (mobile-first, excessive use of javascript, ads, no compact design, wasted space) that went on everywhere else.
I also especially appreciated being able to download the subtitles of episodes in other languages or for unseeded torrents.

I wish you all the best in the future and with a load off your mind afterwards.

It seems pretty clear you've put a lot of thought into this decision just as it seems clear you put a ton of blood, sweat and tears into this site!

Considering the significant chunk of your life spent nurturing this place, it's pretty obvious that it has meant a lot to you as well!

Like a bunch of folks have already explained this site has been an insane resource on many fronts. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Now, as I glumly go forth and consider the reality of an animetosho-less future, you have my utmost gratitude, admin.
I'm getting a little panicky thinking about it but thank you so much conceiving, building and actively maintaining it for so long!

As much as an orderly hand off of the site would be awesome, I can think of quite a few reasons why wouldn't make sense for this place. It is unheard of to host an unmonetized anime piracy platform, especially considering maintaining it does take time and money. Handing over the ~15 yr  over would need a whole lot of trust, for someone like me at least.

Anyways, thanks so much admin! I've got a ton of respect for you, you've carried yourself with aplomb, a gentleman and a scholar if you will.

admin, you're a legend, enjoy the unexpected new adventures the future brings and also the ones you plan and execute on your own!
Cheers, so long, and thanks for all the fish/shoes!

p.s. I'm sure it's already been brought up or it's super obvious, but what anime is the little octo/tako guy from your avatar from?

God damn, years of fully automated 0 click torrenting have been powered by tosho for me, it must have saved me months of my lifetime just thanks to the API, Godspeed Señor Tosho, you'll be missed

Thank you very much for your time working on AT. I've been relying on your usenet uploads for many years now, and it's going to be rough going to something else - but I understand why moving on could be better for you and there's no ill will here. I hope it can remove a stress from your life.

Thanks for everything. Hugely appreciate having a cleaner layout such as this (I only use it for torrents, but find it easier to navigate for weekly usage than any alternative I've tried).
I wish you a clean transition and all the best for the road ahead.

AT has given me a lot of things.
I really thank you for your dedication, admin.

I will definitely miss AT.

I've been using this website for about 10 years. It's been a great help in many cases. Finding the best quality releases without your screenshots wouldn't have been possible. Being able to download the subtitles (in order to translate to my own language) was quite a feature. This was my haven for real.
I deeply thank you and wish you the best for the rest of the journey of life you have ahead of you.
I can't help but ask... Can't you leave someone as the main admin to keep the website alive? And if not, why...? I'm quite curious. :D

please release the anidb data. Thank you!!

Before animetosho, there was a similar site to animetosho called otakucop existed before 2012, But the difference is otakucop, hosts own files.

You should release the AniDB data. Theyre kind of a scurge on the anime community having the most accurate data yet holding it back behind such an aggressive api.

Do you have any discord server where people share anime subtitles?

If possible provide some of the queries you use in nyaa.
Thanks

Thanks for all those years AnimeTosho, you'll be missed.

Thank you for everything.
I'm really sad to see this website go down. I've been using it for many years. Thank you again.
Wishing you the best of luck with whatever you're planning to do.

As someone that contributed to many releases (torrents, not DDL) that end up reposted on this site, this is rough.
Just recently one big archive went down that had many years of releases, mostly because the owner wanted to move on with his life, not unlike here.
And as someone that really doesn't want to get involved with private trackers and prefers to only use public trackers, this was a good fallback for archives, while the DDL links die easily after a few weeks or months, the nzbs are good for many years.
It was also invaluable because it archived subs, letting you compare or use other subs without having to download the release, if it was even seeded at all, for old enough ones.
Even the nyaa post/comment archive is useful as some torrents can be hidden or deleted, and it served as a cross-reference.
While for most AT is just for weekly DDLs, the site was so incredibly useful outside of it.
I really hope someone will pick up the torch and merge their db with yours, and I hope most software gets released to save the amount of work others have to do - AT always had high performance and a very minimal HTML-only design (as opposed to "modern" javascript only monstrosities) despite not running on anything but cheap dedicated servers and VPSes.
Some part of me feels tempted to try to continue it, but the realization of all the daily/weekly maintenance work that would involve prevents me from committing, things like series detection, stuck torrents, retrying on upload failures, spam, manually having to let some items through, supporting new DDL providers and so on, are things that probably would take quite a bit of time, and  as someone that handles something similar already, I know it takes a good chunk of time even when a lot of it is automated.
I genuinely hope someone does continue it, at the very least mirroring nyaasi/TT and especially posting releases to usenet and a few DDLs that are fast enough.
I disagree with the claim that leaving it unmaintained would be bad - I think even extracting subs, posting to usenet and mirroring nyaa posts - which doesn't need new DDL maintenance is immensely valuable to most users, even if no provider besides gofile or some other fast one was supported, it'd still be more than enough for many.
There's nothing wrong with nyaa being "unmaintained", it's fast, it's up and releasers can post to it, this is all we really need. The only bad part is that they no longer allow registration which prevents new blood from posting.
Thanks for the amazing service admin, and I hope someone picks up the torch, or at minimum provides a mirror with the nzbs/subs/nyaa posts, it doesn't even have to have the screenshots if they take that much space, although raw subs would really be nice (attachments often are duplicates and not as important).

The current plan is to include those.
The one thing I think I'll hold back on is AniDB data (not sure they exactly like the idea).

take a bow, sir! you deserve it

Thanks for all the comments (including any posted later) - they're all highly appreciated!

Sad to read the news but thankful for all you did all these years and wishing you the best of luck in whatever you do next

Luxury/Daddy/NeoLX/H3LL/RIN/Cuckmaster9000 must be happy.

I guess Miru/Hayase is now DOA.

will the data used for cache.animetosho.org/nyaasi be provided in the dumps?

Thank you for your service 🙏. The True Goat 🐐

Thanks for everything.You will be missed.

Thank you admin for maintaining this incredible resource for so long.

Thank you for this incredible site and all those years of free service!

Thanks for making this site, admin.

thanks for everything, admin

i will miss AT

Yup, panic attack indeed.

Two best things about the anime community... fansubbing and Anime Tosho!

Very sad to hear it's shutting down, thank you admin for all your work over the years!

Well, now I'm having a panic attack.  Fantastic.  

I'm not sure of what to do without this place.

atleast 10 more years

There goes the best way to check what's new...

Because they go after the indexed sites not the catalogue.

お疲れ様

No, there isn't, i am also waiting.

I'm surprised Anime Tosho lasted this long with all of the anti-piracy stuff going on.

Animetosho and you will be greatly missed by all the visitors here.

sorry autocorrect,  USBD files.

Is there a USB drive for Solo Leveling Season 1 or Season 2 with an English FLAC track? I'm asking this because it seems that most files have hardcoded subtitles and amzn track. Please provide only serious responses, not opinions.

Does it provide subtitles to
