Japan likes to make money when possible, but it won't really do anything because anime is their ultimate weapon to try and bring the world's birthrate down to their own.
Incest, yaoi, yuri, loli, josei, barren matches, performance anxiety, magic girls, unrealistic physical standards, Naruto --It's a brilliant strategy.
Yeah look at piratebay still standing even tho the people who made the site is currently in prison. So I don't see them getting affected by it to much and it's not like the Japanese Government can enforce those sites to really do much well am mainly talking about torrent sites.
And anything based in China isn't going to take down anything seeing how the Chinese don't give a rats azz.
Also I doubt mangastream will comply since they been hit before with taking down Naruto and Bleach but yet here they are still scanlating them.
But the thing with them they remove the chapters after a week or so it doesn't stay on the site like many other sites.
Agreed also this is from Herkz "well then answer this: how the hell are they going to enforce it? this website gets tons of takedown letters all the time and yet all the content stands."
Looks like Nyaa's won't be taking nothing down whenever they send them one.
I think this site should be safe I think there mainly going after the ones in China. But then again I could be wrong and this site isn't all the big like animetake for example. Also there's this
"METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) has published a press release stating 500 manga works and 80 anime works are being targeted, not websites. The press release includes a PowerPoint that contains an actual list of websites they are targeting. Included are scanlation sites (slides 11-12), fansub upload websites (slides 13-15), direct download websites (slide 16), torrent sites (slides 17-18), and redistribution websites (slides 19-20)."
Edit: Animetake and Nyaa's are being targeted lucky animetosho isn't. Let's hope it doesn't get targeted.
Also mangafox, mangastream D: and a few other manga sites a being targeted.
"On August 1st, the government will start simultaneously sending requests to delete illegal anime and manga contents to the operators of the 580 foreign pirate sites which they have found. In addition, the operation will launch a new site to guide the fans to a legitimate site offering some 250 titles including the latest ones at a cost of several hundred yen."
Hmm, checking a few random works, it appears to link to existing licensees of works as opposed to being a subscription based service. In other words, they don't really provide anything other than information that you'd probably get from Google anyway. I'm guessing the main idea is to use it as a landing page for sites that have been blocked.
Site doesn't appear to have any focus on the Chinese either.
From what I gleamed, it actually doesn't seem like it matters much to us.
I'm interested in their attempt to create their own platform though, as opposed to promoting something well established like Crunchyroll. Or as Galaxy_Defenders pointed out, it could be primarily aimed at China.
Interesting article. My read of the report is a campaign with a combination of grumpiness against offshore sites (no enforcement mechanism), plus push for legit sales outside of Japan (in yen, interestingly), along with possibly more enforcement of the preexisting harshness for infringement for those living in Japan (10 years in prison possible for uploading, 2 years in prison possible for downloading, as of 2012).
I also found interesting that the report said "...there will be a particular focus on China." Maybe that's what this is mostly about.
Thanks for the great service you've been offering for years. Thumbs up for the new design and as always applause for letting use choose the design. Especially for the naggers a necessary option it seems.
The categorisation is done automatically where an algorithm attempts to guess the correct place - it gets it wrong every now and then. I'll see if I can do anything to remedy this particular case. Thanks for pointing it out.
The files are sourced from TokyoTosho which doesn't mark files as re-encodes unfortunately. It's a bit of a hard one to solve, but fortunately there aren't many.
Thanks for the comment. Actually a small texture probably would have minimal effect on load times, but I never went to the effort of adding textures to themes.
Actually, I think this last design is great -- it comes across as a sort of brown woodwork facade. A burl texture underneath would be nice, but might slow load-times.
The drop-down theme menu provides a full rainbow of choices. I don't know what these idiots are complaining about.
Change the non-registered "Image Verification" captcha to weed out the colorblind and let's see if that changes the quality of the comments.
Gotta agree, the only user-friendly one by far is 2013q1 (Masuzu) and you can actually SEE the text. 2013q and everything after is shit. White on black background is cancerous (or any colors close to it). Anyone with a smidgen of design aesthetic knows this.
Hopefully this is only a temporary issue. I've raised it with the host anyway. The mirror site should be usable when this server is having issues. Sorry for the inconvenience.
So I've been playing around with JDownloader for quite a while trying to figure out why it doesn't work. It seems like there's a bug in JDownloader when there's only numbers after the last dot in the URL (maybe it thinks that it's a split archive). So a workaround is to use the short URL. To make a short URL, delete everything between the last '/' and '.' characters (including the '.'), for example, delete the underlined part in the following URL before pasting into JDownloader. https://animetosho.org/view/horriblesubs-tokyo-esp-02-720p-mkv.797113
Or bug the JDownloader devs to fix the bug.
DLC seems unnecessarily complex and requires 3rd party interaction, not to mention that it only works in JDownloader. CNL still only works with JDownloader and I'm not too fond of the idea of sending HTTP POST requests to 3rd parties. In my opinion it should be done as a browser extension rather than inserted into web pages.
It works if I right-click for example Jheberg or MultiUp and coyp the link. Paste it into JDownloader and I get all available hosters from these 2 multi Uploader pages. So this a "way" of doing. ;)
Does the "Magic" work when you try the "serienjunkies" url or do you get also in JDownloader an error Message? I can provide screenshots if you want. :) Although I also don't know how this "Category Decrypter" works... Maybe I can find it out ;)
Something Tibb suggested: DLC support is also a good Idea. But I would prefer than support for "Click N Load 2". I've implemented it already on another webpage and it works great. Here you can find a how to: http://jdownloader.org/knowledge/wiki/...ssary/cnl2
Short difference: DLC is a file that contains the links. Short a "linkcontainer". Opened with JDownloader it will display all links that are inside of it. CNL a HTML POST Form that sends the links directly to a running JDownloader instance. Great feature! ;)
Yes, right clicking and copying the selected links will work.
I can't access the site as well, but I guess somehow they managed to let JDownloader find all links for the series on the webpage?
Here is another option (if interested) - JDownloader has support for certain containers (such as JDC DLC) that once "loaded" into Jdownloader will then display all the links inside it, a one click solution compared to copying all links.
The specified URL is inaccessible from here ("not available in your country"). I don't know how JDownloader handles this "magic". I did notice mention of a "Link Grabber" in their Wiki - does that not work? Also, does selecting the links and then sending them all to the downloader work?
Thanks for the feedback but I don't quite understand it. It is just a feature request. It may be true that it is a feature for lazy people but if you like the current system nothing will change for you. It is an addition NOT a change... You messed something up I think.
Thanks. The host has been having issues for the past few days, so it's not exactly unexpected, but it's a little disheartening that they haven't replied to my ticket I put in a few days ago, regarding the problems. There does appear to be some activity though, so hopefully they come back, otherwise, I'll have to try to re-order.
