I hope you have better life after this technically shutting down😁

I wish it wasn't closing down, this has been a comfortable friend in my life. I am really going to miss everything about Animetosho, this is the BEST anime website ever, and I've been cruising anime sites since the early 1990's, the ease of being able to check before downloading something if DUAL means my native language, knowing if the subs are just signs and songs or if it is complete subs. I really appreciated the links to AniDB, MAL, TVDB or Wiki (en), it made a big difference.

I hardly ever had an issue with any download due to your cache policy. There is notheing negative about this site, this is where I stumbled into Overlord, DanMachi, TenSura, Eminence in Shadow,Yuru Camp, Rent-A-Girl, Yama no Susume), Seishun Buta Yarō-Aobuta), Jigokuraku, Mirai Nikki, The Saga of Tanya the Evil, Log Horizon, Sword Art Online, Durarara!!, Blue Period, Welcome to NHKL, Eden of the East, Summer Time Rendering, Solo Leveling....

My heart breaks to think of life without Animetosho.

The account registrations being disabled is likely intentional, so isn't something to "fix", at least, as far as Nyaa.si owners are concerned.
What should be fixed is the messaging - clearly "temporarily unavailable" in not the case* and it'd take like two minutes for someone to replace it with a clear, accurate message. I've seen plenty of people assume "temporarily unavailable" is accurate, wondering when registrations would be open again.

<rant>

Which highlights the key problem of Nyaa.si - the owners simply Don't Give A Fuck. They've got no reason to deceive, and it doesn't appear that they have some distaste towards newbies (other than not wanting to deal with them), they just simply don't care about the site they're running.
No one should be surprised if Nyaa.si just suddenly disappears one day, without warning (just like what happened to the original NyaaTorrents). You might not want to hear this from someone that's shutting down their own site, but I don't see Nyaa ever posting about their decision to shutdown before it eventually happens.

And disabled registrations doesn't "just work" - not allowing new contributors is a broken system. The effect clearly isn't immediate, it's just something that causes a slow gradual decline. In communities, people come and go, and if you prevent people coming, you've just got the natural attrition of users leaving.

People really shouldn't be content with the status quo because "it works". Not only is this an incredibly low bar to set your standards at, if this was universally accepted, there'd never be any improvement.

What's unfortunate is that it's hard to get attention to problems until they actually blow up. I can't say that Nyaa.si will ever "blow up", but in my opinion, the community's over-reliance on one site (whose owner hardly cares) is a problem that too many are apathetic towards.

I'm really hoping that nekoBT can eventually be a worthy alternative. More options is a benefit, not a drawback.

* I'm aware that the top of this page has "temporary" in the description, but it's at least qualified with "somewhat", and ultimately no-one cares about the precise message here anyway

Why do gay men have higher car insurance ?


Because they keep getting rear ended !!

i just got into the site after years just to realize it's gonna die soon ｡ﾟ･ (>﹏<) ･ﾟ｡

huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge thanks to you and everyone from the community for all the effort, i downloaded a shit ton of stuff from here that i'll always remember happily (μ_μ)

good luck and thanks for everything dear anon, your site will be truly missed (ಥ﹏ಥ)

    

No one cares

damn. time is a brutal motherfucker. hope you find what you're looking for. your work and this site will be missed. very sad to see another community bite the dust in the fight for freedom and expression. we all get to our futures. cheers.

Thanks for your work... you will be missed. It's been a godsend to have usenet links available for anime.

That is a complete opposite of what Anime Tosho is. Site full of ads and shortlinks.

Look mom, I'm on internet again.

Don't force your own fantasies on other people

You mfrs are going to miss talking about how you all wish you were reincarnated in another world as princesses and getting gang banged by a prince and his entourage.

You won't be missed.

Yeah it is a joke... nothing LX puts out is of any quality.

who?

long time no see

What about making the website LXtosho, only my releases being fetched after May 9th?
I think it would bring a lot of quality to the site after its extinction, what do you think @admin?

*This is a joke, lol*

I sincerely hope that your efforts here contribute to a significant well deserved reward that stretches beyond time.

Why does it need to?

it works.

The only anime site I ever used. Sad to see you shutting down. Thanks for everything!

I wish you best of luck in life brother, I still remember the day when my friend recommended me this website and I was so surprised to find something so convenient for anime downloading and I have always found everything about this website cool, this website has helped me for my fan subbing purposes as well, I could find rarest fan subs to watch from this website and I have enjoyed it a lot, thank you so much for years of your passionate hard work, not to exaggerate animetosho was a blessing for me. Again, I wish you best of luck in life, if you ever think about comeback then anime community will always be here, to support you. Peace out.

Hey, thank you very much for all the hard work and effort you put into this website and project over the last 15 years. It would be sad to lose your work. In the end, I'm happy I got the chance to see a good portion of the journey. I hope your next station is fulfilling. Take care wherever you are :D.

nyaa site does not significant maintenance.

I'm starting to suspect some of you don't even know what nyaa is...

May be checkout -> https://new.anidl.org/on-going

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.

Thanks for the offer.
Money is not a concern. If there's something I'm looking for, I guess it would be more time.
