I wonder what will happen to users who don't read the announcement when the site stops updating. I know It's going to be a barrage of questions about why the site stops updating.

Yandex has less blocking on pirate sites and their links

Doesn't help that google blocks searches for these sites, so trying to find a sites mirror after a whackamole can be difficult

Will Be Missed:
Library - catalogs varied names - priceless, popular, occasional manual fix, dangerous
Splitter - separates subtitles & audio tracks - priceless, smaller market, dangerous
Detailer - reveals content details - valuable, high interest, dangerous
…
Comments, no registration required - sometimes useful, heave moderation load, dangerous
Retire In Peace

Sorry. The "ppv death squads" are a real thing. Many sites are forced to relocate 2 or more times a year and leave very vague bread crumbs. It's one of the reasons this site went from useful to necessary. These squads
are also why the ddl links here have over the years decreased from a long time to months to 7 to 10 days.
When the big dogs start using high dollar AI, the loss of this place will be seen as the good old days.

pls share your DDL site links here

If there's someone who wants to replicate Anime Tosho, now it's your time to shine.

I am in genuine despair to learn that this site is going away. I have been using this as my daily driver with respect to anime for the past several years ever since a couple nastygrams made me more wary of torrenting. My choice of second resort was XDCC, but that practically got wiped out as a viable option when all the best bots shut down a few months ago. I pray that something new emerges, but things now look so, so grim. Hopefully things don't get as grim as manga downloading has been for the past decade plus, but that seems to be the direction things are moving in.

You can generate direct download links from torrents on this website until proper successor to AnimeTosho emerges.

Anime Tosho shutting down next week, A week for airing anime is literally just next episode, that's how close it is.

well, seeing the announcement, i am filled with sadness. i really loved this site, but tbh, all things must come to an end. i only hoped it wouldnt happen here :(. what series are you guys downloading to keep now? just curious and looking for suggestions :D

Good luck to you Admin. Thanks for developing, operating, and maintaining this wonderful site. You have avoided most of the major stumbling blocks that negatively affect most anime sites.
For many years you were my resource for anime that few sub groups or sites picked up. In Fall of 2024 as may of my fave sites became hard to locate as they played tag with the ppv death squads, you became my primary go to site.

I have found options to ddl most ongoing anime series and places to view the rest.
The ddl choices and scope of info you provide, not being available in one place is a great loss for our community.

Like you, I had hoped many independently created mirrors would be available by now.
I understand your choices and hope you were able to make them free of outside pressures.

Thanks again.

something i wanted to ask from a long time, do you recieve dmca request? or anything greater?

After updates stop, I'll package up all attachments (subtitles, fonts etc) on the server for easier downloading (probably as a torrent).
Note that it'll all be numbered .xz files, so not easy to browse without referencing a database dump.

Is there or when this service stops then an attachments archive be made available. All sub and fonts that were extracted over the time service was active.
