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.

Thankful to you for this site and my finding it maybe around 6 or 7 years ago after the other mainly checking a few sub group's pages for their updates. From this found some other sub groups I liked the work of which helped replace most the ones I follow decades ago that all left/retired. Hope all the best for whatever it is you do in future.

Welp, sucks to see this place get shut down I do hope this project gets passed on (like if you change your mind, but you seemed to have made up your mind) it's been great I was excited to see what theme / character you would use for each season every year this site has been a great part of my anime watching adventures it was fast, simple no fuss and I'll be going back to tokyo tosho (what i personally used before discovering you guys) & bookmark everythingmoe thank you for everything Admin and good luck with your future projects I'm sure they'll be just as awesome if not more!

I dont know who or where you are, just wanted to let you know, that your website has been part of my life these past 15 years. Would have missed countless Anime without AT and you cant even begin to imagine, how greatful I am for all the work you put into this site. So it was hearbreaking to read by the end of last year, that you would shut it down permanently. Honestly still kind of a numbing feeling, knowing it will end in rougly a week.
Still wanted to express my gratitude for your hard work and invested time. Wish you all the best and hopefully, someone will continue this project in the future.

Your my favorite usenet site for nzbs im so sad that its going down in only 9 days

Do You Need More Money, To Keep The Site Up And Running More!
I Can Help, Your Site Is Better Then Any Other WebSites!

I am going to miss AT very much. I only discovered it recently (within the last year) and it has proven absolutely invaluable. I can understand you wanting to pass the torch on after 15 years - does anyone know if there is any other site that at least goes someway towards providing the same, or some of the same, information to access torrents?

This might be the last week this site will work normally, and then I guess that's it. Thank you for helping me downloading Anime all this time. I'm gonna miss AT a lot. Good luck.

Bro's baiting when a site is closing, I guess you should really get a life. lol

What do you think are debrid services, OCH are doing then? They all are making money knowing their service is going to be used for illegal activities (distributing content). You could also expand this logic to vpn providers and seedboxes etc. too.

What's so funny about being poor? are you okay in the head?

You're right, I am. Even if I'm not poor, why would I pay for something that I can get for free? If I could download a car, I would.

[removed - offensive]

That's why we are all here.

this is bullshit, i am not a programmer, i just want to download torrents. and they offer to pay money for stolen content

>Usenet-nzb
They literally selling stolen content

this is so impudent

You're right I don't want to pay at all that's why I pirate. I guess that's pretty obvious. Why else would I be here?

I don't quite understand that theory - would you elaborate?

Art books give as much as anything else, in fact the publisher eats a lot of the profits, and nothing goes to the studio and the remaining profits go to the artist.

Just admit you can't afford it, or don't want to pay at al.  

same :((

This is devastating. This was my go to site for all my DDL needs and no other site came even close for all those years I'm on here.

Thank you for everything you've done and your contribution to the scene.

I actually pay just for a VPS (a server) I use a seedbox. I am not against the concept of paying money to get my anime, I just don't want to give one cent to Crunchyroll ever. Besides, buying something like an official artbook probably gives the studio more money than me watching it via some Californian company that hates anime.

Just learn to torrent dude.

i guess you mean will subs of source A will work on video of source B, so yes utill it's the exact same episode, because dialogues have same timestamps

he's a grown man with responsibilities, and keeping a site like this would take atleast 5hrs of my day (im a slow person), also just having a site like this is a very big risk and not normal thing

Thank you brother for everything to your success what ever you choose to be and become 👍 hope your well and all your family is well too👍🙏
Hope everyone's well too🙏
Quick question will the subs work on any episode for the right episode if that makes sense?

I have just one question I am feeling deeply depressed while hearing this service going down, my one question to the admin why do you want to shut it down a whole story, just because I feel deeply attached and emotional to it, can you just give me answer for one last time?

I've discovered this site not that long ago, and setting up RSS feeds for torrents is much simpler and more convenient than over at nyaa, so I used AT for the previous season, and also set up everything for this season too. I might be new here, but I'm still going to miss this place, so thanks for everything.

shutdown reminds me of this song https://gofile.io/d/os20cL

Thanks for the comment + clarification.

If you're saying that's a key reason, I wouldn't call that an accurate assessment.
It's not like I'm incapable of changing code that I find problematic.
I suspect that your evaluation of "technical debt" differs from mine, which is hardly surprising, given the massive difference in familiarity with it. (note, I'm not saying your evaluation is "wrong", rather that everyone other than myself would have a different perspective to me)

I think doxxing yourself to test out if stuff of you is public online is the just the right thing to do?

@Admin

Thank you for the reply~<3

In my last post I meant to express that I feel you for closing down AT, because the technical debt in the code would make it less fun to run AT. Apart from the financial and operational burden.

Stay well and have fun with your new next projects~<3

Thank you very much for everything dude

I feel that you might be trivialising it a bit too much (then again, I do that a bit as well).
It might seem 'easy', but there's a degree of discipline that you need to maintain. And it's easy to slip up.

I suspect half of those "anonymous bullet-proof" hosts are just scams, and those that aren't are typically flaky at best. Those that have some reputation may decide to charge a fortune, given the niche they're in.
Although it's not particularly that hard to figure out the right host, I'd hardly call it a straightforward matter either.

NAT is about having multiple devices share an IP. It does nothing to anonymise you, nor does it "change" your IP (at least in the way you're hoping).

Man, I wish someone would make a clone of this site. I fucking hate that all the anime sites I use are closing down one by one.

> Every good VPN service is locked behind a paywall

This sucks.

My most favorite go to website is being shut down on my birthday.  :-(

I guess you will have to look for a VPN: https://www.youtube.com/@techlore/search?query=vpn
And hook qBittorrent to VPN by going to Options > Advanced > Network Interface > VPN Service you bought.
So you can safely use torrents, unless your Internet Provider hates VPNs too.

Administrator, thank you for all your hard work running Anime Tosho.
Since I can’t use torrents and can only watch anime via DDL, the loss of Anime Tosho is a real blow to me.
I hope a good alternative or successor DDL site will emerge.
