I come here for the files and the comments. If I wanted to see someone's idea of images I should see I'd go somewhere else.

I'm glad you agree to not embed images on comment section. I like it neat and simple. If I wanted to see anon sharing images on a website, I'd just go to 4chan. not AnimeTosho. Thanks again!

Thank you for trying to help out.
But I think you're being a little unfair. I don't think it's fair to expect a visitor to be privy to the logistics of this website - after all, they're not running it.
Embedding images does sound like a good faith suggestion to me, to address a concern that is solved on various other websites.

Thanks for the question!

Unfortunately I'm not really a fan of embedding. Large images can cause layout issues or take up a lot of area on the page. I also try to keep pages small in size for speed and bandwidth saving reasons, whilst embedding images could greatly increase a user's bandwidth usage. There's also some privacy concerns with embedding.

In some ways, I want to keep the comment system simple and discourage users from treating it like a full blown forum, so keeping the feature set "lightweight" helps in this regard.

You can link to images however, which should largely achieve the same goal, just with the slight inconvenience of users needing to click a link.

For the comments regarding CSAM: I appreciate the warnings/concerns, but I don't see embedded images as being a notable risk here. After all, I'm sure critics will point out there's already ways to get CSAM on here.
Besides, changes aren't set in stone and can be reverted if they become problematic.

Thanks for the info.
I think streaming sites focus more on easy access, and typically simplify things by only having one (or few) version of episodes.
Whereas picking an episode here would still require you to select a release, so I thought emphasizing that would be beneficial. Unfortunately putting additional links, like the page currently does, probably wouldn't work well in a grid layout.

It's amazing how people make suggestions on things that they think would be better for them by having other people spending the money.  Anime Tosho is fine the way it is. Adding pics to the comment section would only make things worse and everybody here knows that.
Maybe you can start up your own site and call it a reflection (a mirror in front of another mirror)

ye

It costs nothing to add a way to EMBED images here, hosted elsewhere (like the BBcode thing I talked about).
As for time, it wouldn't cost a lot either considering the few people that are registered compared to the enormous amount of anons (+ as I said, the ones wanting it would have to request it.. so easily manageable I believe lol)

So you're setting admin up to do a lot more busy work: policing images, assigning rights, paying for more storage.  

It seems like a waste of his time and talents.

I said that Admin would manually grant this possibility to users, it wouldn't be default... so it'd be removable by admin if the user does not behave.

ehh, no? imagine dealing with constant CSAM. This site isn't for that anyway. I'm positive it would bring nothing but trouble for the admin.

Lemme remind you that AnimeTosho is a mirror site. why would you need that?

You would need a system where new logins take more than 30 seconds.

Possible, if Admin allows people to use this feature "manually" not automatically (if the person has an account and requests it).
And if the person acts irresponsibly, then Admin can disable it for the user?

Impossible. Haters would spam the site with CP. You volunteering for 24/7 chat moderation duty?

Hello Admin,

I don't know shit about coding, but is it possible to add something that lets us share images in the comment section? (like BBcode does with [img][/img])

Thank you!

monthly thank you to admin for this website and services

Do not change the animetosho layout, I'm one of those who are fond of it. And to be fair on gogo tho, their UI and general site layout is/was great in its own way too, and the site was fairly clean in terms of nefarious scripts etc, the bad reputation it has comes from the gazillion clones it inspired, many of which are just baitsites for click revenue.

I saw gogoanime as more of a daily menu of the current days releases, icluding new movies and ovas. I looked at their front page, then used the info gained there to get HD DL's from here or nyaa or wherever. You are absolutely correct in that there is no real correspondence between a site like this and a site like gogoanime, other than their focus being anime.

> nights with a cat

Episodes 1-61 are officially on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@yoruneko_PR/videos The inidividual episodes 1-60 have English subtitles (although they are lacking the ED lyrics). https://www.livechart.me is useful fior seeing if a show has an official stream anywere.

That's a thing I don't like about many anime piracy websites is they don't cite sources leaving you in the dry when they inevitably shut down.

what?

Thanks for the suggestion.
Note that I don't see this site as an alternative to sites like GoGoAnime and the like, so I don't feel inclined with copying their design.

I'm interested in what design you had in mind. I generally imagine a grid view to place a focus on the image, but most of these are vertical so you'll lose the ability to place torrent links, and each episode will have the same image.
The current layout focuses more on actual content, in my opinion.

Ublock origin is your friend.
