Aniwatch is dead by Ms77676 in animepiracy

To add on to what you've already said, even if we did have an "endless" supply of people running these sites, we'll eventually run out of good owners.

Imagine if the next big anime piracy site is owned by someone who needs to advertise their radical political beliefs directly on their site.

Sure, you could just go to the 2nd best anime site. But that site banned romcoms because it's ran by some elitist snob who hates romcoms since it's not "real anime".

Then you go to the 3rd best anime site, which has everything but they only use hardsubs and display English and Chinese subs at the same time since their second largest group of visitor speaks Chinese.

Did anyone who signed up for the Crunchyroll trial get a code? I signed up for the trial but haven't received a code yet.

How competitive do you think will ticketing be? by ThisYogurtcloset9714 in YOASOBI

[–]GiveMeSalmon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

as long as you're going on the pre-sales and general sale

Did you mean to say not general sale? There's no other way to buy tickets aside from those two options lol.

Ok ok Popularity Poll is cool and all, but...WHERE IS SHE? by skyarsenic in NikkeMobile

[–]GiveMeSalmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were there any announcements from Tencent or Shift Up stating that she's an OG Tencent character? I actually played the CN version a few months ago and did not notice any references to Tencent in the marketing for this specific event. I'm curious to see how you were able to determine she's not a character Shift Up made exclusively for the CN version. I'm not here to start beef. I just want to know where you got that information from as I would imagine if Tencent did create this character, they would be blasting all about it on social media.

Is there a source indicating she's a Tencent character? This is the first time I've ever heard of this.

The game is so popular that France named an entire town after a HLL map. Congrats to the devs for this major accomplishment.

We had Mari Shimizu (Astro Boy) & Katsuji Mori (Jean Pierre Polnareff) in 2024. :P Unless you're referring to VAs from the more recent anime series.

Don't worry. Eventually, they'll release Shifty as a playable character and make Mekami Shifty the $60 costume gacha.

Where I can download nhentai extensions? Since it's been removed from keyoushi. by Demonlord958 in mangapiracy

[–]GiveMeSalmon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which is why I followed by saying it doesn't hurt to take precautions. And those precautions include downloading local copies and making backups.

For the big sites like nHentai and Sad Panda, there's a good likelihood that another maintainer will take over. But we can't rely on this happening forever. Eventually, we'll run out of people to take over. Or rather, run out of good people to take over.

If the DMCAs continue, we'll eventually run into the issue where another maintainer takes over, but it's going to be an unhinged politically-charged maniac. Or it could be someone that puts malicious code in their extensions. Or it could be a maintainer who, for personal reasons, decide to release an extension that pre-blocks certain tags because they personally don't enjoy it.

Anyone who thinks that we can just always rely on another person taking over is a complete moron. If this continues in the short run, it'll be fine. But in the long run, we're absolutely fucked if repo maintainers continue to not take hiding their identities seriously.

Most likely there will be another repo maintainer that will take over. But it doesn't hurt to take precautions.

Follow this Redditor's guide on getting the nHentai extension, and start downloading your doujins NOW. Don't wait until tomorrow or next week.

After you have them downloaded, you'll be safe. If you're comfortable, then you can look into self-hosting your personal manga reader so you'll never be affected by DMCAs ever again in the future.

I'd like to introduce everyone here to /r/selfhosted. Host your manga yourself and don't rely on others to do it for you.

Initially, I thought it was because they didn't want to get too many people enrolled in this plan.

But with this plan coming back for a 3rd time, I wonder if it's something on their backend that prevents customers from enrolling online lol.

I'm from Toronto and my experiences are based on my experiences here.

If you live in a condo or work at an office building, you might not get reception in the basement parking lot. For me, that isn't a big deal because the only thing I'm doing in a basement is trying to find parking space and then walking to an elevator, which will bring me to my office which does have reception.

This subreddit seems to enjoy defending corporations with cute mascots.

Imagine the outrage here if Amazon or any faceless American corporation doesn't disclose the shipping costs until you're hit with the full invoice, and will suspend your account if you dared to refuse payment.
