Hi, I would like to share with you my new Nyaa mirror DDL service https://otakuness.top. It is not exactly an Anime Tosho clone since it does not offer extracted subtitles or audio, but it does mirror English Translated Anime, English Translated Manga & Lossless Audio from Nyaa Tracker, which is something Anime Tosho doesn't have. This site is created in Drupal as the frontend, and for the backend, I used n8n to create my custom bot.

From what I know, I think people are reading too much into this.

I know the AT-N admin from the fansub scene. He's a bit of an unusual guy, but he's genuinely passionate about the project. My impression is that AT-N is far more likely to disappear because of running out of money than because it suddenly becomes some profit-driven platform. As far as I'm aware, making it ad-heavy or turning it into a paid service has never been the goal.

As for the "team," I think that has been misunderstood. It's still a very small project with only a handful of people involved, not a large development team.

The roadmap I've heard about has mostly been community-oriented features: user torrent uploads, mirror sites, a tracker/announce service, and an IRC chat. None of that really sounds like preparation for monetization.

Of course, nobody can predict the future.
