As far as I know, they are just a hevc reduction remake of SubsPlease releases. SubsPlease is mostly CR subs and video. So if you find ASW video quality acceptable, fine. If not, get SubsPlease.
The anon is saying that if you are trying to post your ABX test results, and for them to have at least some credibility, you need to submit both audio files along with the log so that one can verify the SHA-1 checksums and see if indeed the files you listened to were in the test. But I'm sure you already knew that.
Make sure you're submitting the direct link to the .torrent file, not a link to the info page. If you still can't get it to work, you can try another tracker like Anirena, or upload the .torrent file to some host which provides direct links.
I think you'll find a variety of reasons why people choose to torrent: from the wider selection of sources to just not wanting to use a streaming site. Uploading here is automated and there is no-one judging "quality" in the process.
Unfortunately this site can't satisfy everyone's wants, so there'll always be some that find AT of little value, and perhaps seems redundant.
There is currently no intention to process from Raw categories - I hope you can find an alternative solution that works for you.
I tried to upload an Anidex torrent to Tokyotosho like you recommended, but it says "Could not download torrent. Check the URL for typos and verify the site is online." How do I upload a torrent to Tokyotosho then?
according to nyquist theorem, no one can hear the difference past 44.1khz sample rate. also opus is a good codec just 128kbps is a bit too low for animes as they're really shouty
Saying "unlistenable" is crazy, my guy. In fact, I would bet money on you not being able to hear the slightest difference between hi-res lossless 32-bit / 384kHz and OPUS 128kbps
Yeah I'm not saying the original looks bad, but I also wouldn't call the encodes "sharpened garbage" at the end of the day I just wanna watch anime in near original quality but that seems impossible without torrenting
Looks like almost any other anime. Also looks completely watchable, if by "watch" we mean sitting away, not pressing your face onto the screen. But people also have different tastes, and some players have built-in optional filters even if nobody made a release they like.
> I dont understand the use for 480p releases when you can stream 1080p on streaming platforms Because AnimeTosho is not a streaming site? Also, people also wants to download what they watch? Anyway, raws are not uploaded here. You can torrent mozzii2 stuffs if you really need them.
You can easily convert AAC etc into FLAC. If I was listening to music I'd prefer FLAC over AAC but with anime it's mostly voices and background sounds so I have no issues with a decent bit-rate AAC.
I get the resources part obviously but I dont understand the use for 480p releases when you can stream 1080p on streaming platforms in any subtitle language
Which part of it you don't get? Raws are not mirrored by AT simply because only a handful of people wants/needs them. Including you. The bottom line is AT resources can't afford those. I hope this helps.
I'm not telling anyone to do anything I just politely asked if it was possible and then just questioned to get a better understanding of the situation/ this site because after reading the about page it still doesn't make sense to me
