Honest answer? Because I was using an old script I had for something else that was more geared towards thumbnails and I just migrated it over, completely overlooked that fact.

Just bare in mind the entire site is a hobby/side project - it'll be rough especially in these first days. I do appreciate you mentioning this though, completely overlooked that!

Thank god somebody is starting a project.
Will you also add Torrent/magnet and ddl?
Maybe extracted audio also?
Thank you so much

No, he means groups of hobbyists and fans, writing blogs and sharing their ideas and information and expertise. Making money from the web didn't even occur to anyone back then. And if for instance you were into fishing, or golf or whatever, a search engine would bring up hobbyist blogs, that almost always would have decent information, as they were simply sharing what they knew. No one was copying each other as there was no point to duplicating another's blog as there was no money to be gained from clicks.

People's websites, pages and blogs often had links to the stuff they were interested in, they had no reason to keep you tied to their site, thus was the phenomena of "Surfing the net" just following links that bloggers and so on thought were cool enough to share.

If you were around then you'd get it, the only people who need this explained to them are zoomers and people who got into the web after smartphones and social media.

regardless

adios to animetosho, you will be missed

[removed - political]

animetosho closing down is yet another nail in the coffin of the web as it was supposed to be.

By that I mean the Internet before it was monetized and optimized for smartphones. Back when retards like us made stuff on the net because it was fun and for why not. Media being shared in the same spirit as you'd lend a vid or cd to a friend

This site, like the spirit of the old internet, will be sorely missed

Thank you, sir. Most back then didn't even realize if they left my files in their torrent client client all the files fell in the same folder. I set the way for a bunch of other groups to do things but they will never admit it.
I have no issue with it but have noticed how things have changed over my time.

I guess you never watched one of his releases since what you are saying is pure shit.  
[MCR] had some decent releases in the day.  Shame on you!

Sure, I'll ask you for your advice in the future as will everyone else here....
Also how old are my releases? Times change unlike your BS.
My "old" releases still have seeds, can you say that about yours?

If it only had DDLs...

Nice joke dude. X265 + 10Bit?
That's recipe for terrible quality.
You must be dirt poor or crazy.

Any plants to add Torrent/Magnet?

Thank You! There is more to life than anime, but not much. lol

Cool! Have a good one.

I had one bad release out of all I did and it was just the subs. Please post it and the others you think are bad.
Name a group who never had a bad one.

EDIT: I'm 78 this year and I have better things to do than give the anime I like in dual as I have great grands to have fun with..

Just saw your releases on Nyaa and the Anon above you is right. Your releases are bad and full of mistakes no wonder people don't remember you. It's not surprising you quit releasing.

Why are you using JPG for screenshots and not PNG or Lossless WebP?

So, you are a noob to anime releasers here. Not my fault.

Who?

As it should be :)

Only for the ones I have pushed up to usenet myself, I do plan on back filling them soon.

I agree with your post.
For those that don't know I am also a releaser even thought it has been years now. I have enjoyed this site for years.

Hi there, hope you're having a nice day.

Thank you very much for the hard work and excellent service over all these years. It's no easy task keeping a ship like this running for so long so we completely understand why sunsetting it was inevitable. We're rather impressed it's been live for so long. We briefly tested and used an ambitious replacement service but the costs were just too high to justify its continuation so it too met its inevitable end. Bravo on making AnimeTosho possible for all these years.

We've said before we really appreciate that the subtitles and attachments of old and forgotten releases have been archived and preserved and we're further grateful that you plan to package that data and release it to the public. Hopefully someone makes it easily accessible but we wouldn't be surprised if that doesn't happen. Nevertheless, we thank you for the generosity and dedication to making it easy for the next person to pick up the pieces.

We wish you the best of luck in your next venture.

You can also download subtitles here. Great job!

Hell yeah finally. No login required thank you for this.

@admin,

(o.o)7
I salute you, sir!

Just want to say, after all this time, keeping your site yours and keeping it it clean - from ads, tracking, and all the other bs going on with the web now days - has been great to see. And while it is sad to see you go, I appreciate everything you've done and wish you all the best!

Been working on my own site in the wake of the news. https://aninzb.moe  It's nothing fancy, just want to pick up where you're leaving off, not that I'll be able to do as much as you have done. But it's a start, right?
