What's the best public tracker for old anime now that bakabt is private? With my internet I don't have a hope in hell of maintaining a ratio.

Finishing up You're Under Arrest! Full Throttle, at episode 14

They aren't as charming as the OVA and first season, but the second and third seasons are honestly funny and and fresh enough that they are worth a watch

I'm also going to watch everything Shirow was ever involved in, I've never read or watched anything related to him so it should be a ride. Is Dominion a good place to start?

>>156496423
You don't need fast internet speeds to maintain a good ratio on AB.

How does one maintain a ratio on bakabt anyway? My ratio went bad after downloading a bunch of "free leech" stuff, which wouldn't even seed after finishing.

>>156496502
I'm talking uploads of 2 mbit at best, if no one else is using the internet in the house.

>>156496957
You don't need to upload anything, it just has to be there seeding to count.

>>156496609
What. I have a text file where if I think a show might be good I add it to the list to maybe download later. It got way too big so i went through today to cull the garbage and I was reading some summaries to find out what the hell I added them in the first place. So many summaries about mystery shows are like "a mysterious thing X happens, which turns out to be because of Y as revealed in the final episode". Fucking stupid. I expect a summary to have to spoilers not the synopsis.

>>156497071
If you're reading on wikipedia for the synopsis you've got to be prepared for that. The people that write those articles almost never get the balance right. Some spoil the entire plot in the character description because they get too carried away talking about the show and it's not popular enough to have someone with common sense see the article and trim the fat.

>>156496982
So as long as I keep seeding it I can download several really large series no problems?

>>156497164
Yes.
And if you download 1080p or ISOs, it won't even count against your ratio. You just have to keep seeding after you're done.

yeah I emant synopsis that i was reading adn you are right about character descriptions

>character is a person in the universe who is just an average person. it turns out they aren't and they do this and this and die in the last episode

>>156497207
I would totally do that, but I have no way of getting an invite. Unless just begging in the IRC is the way to go.

>>156497071
What show? Is it actually a spoiler, or is it just a set up?
Like you wouldn't consider finding out that Haruhi is a God or whatever to be a spoiler if the synopsis mentions it.

>>156497152
I like that on wikipedia, I can read the character descriptions if I want an indepth summary of developments in series, or I can read the synopsis and get a synopsis.

>>156497313
I can't even remember in particular I had a list of about 300 shows I went through and it happened 10 or so times.

The only problem is a lot of shows aren't really popular enough to get a full synopsis, summary and character description. Often you just see a large paragraph that tries to do it all.

>>156496957
2mbit/s up is easily good enough. I don't know what this other guy is saying though. Some private trackers do, for example, lower your required ratio if you're seeding a lot of the torrents you've snatched, but I've been using BBT for some time and I'm not aware of anything of the sort. So far as I know, you /do/ actually have to upload and maintain ratio, not just seed. Luckily the 1080p freeleech and the availability of files on other sites makes this pretty easy.

The first Dominion OVA is one of my favorites, it's extremely fun and the OP is incredible. https://youtu.be/mRzqjOyeSNc The Black Magic OVA would be a great place to start as well. Both improve on their source material.

I recently watched the Dirty Pair movie. I miss high budget Sci-Fi anime films allot. It's a shame how little care is given to the genre in modern anime.

Dominion's a blast. Both the original OVA and its sequel. You might as well read Dominion too.

Yu Yu Hakusho for me right now. The only old animes ive watched into completion are Berserk and Neon Genesis Evangekion, along with some Ghibli Films. However, I am a big Hunter x Hunter fan, and so I got interested in Togashi's earlier work.

Either have someone give it to you or wait for registrations to open up again. And don't beg on their IRC channel because that's probably the best way to ensure you DON'T get an invite.

Rune Soldier Louie. I feel like it would have worked better as a sex comedy. But that's being used to those kind of fantasy comedy cliches after 15 years, maybe it didn't seem so trite back in the day when there were only a few shows like it.

Kind of a waste of a brown muscle chick and a Kikuko Inoue nun.

As far as manga goes I picked up Mad Bull 34 since HnG was scanlating it and it seems like it would be cool. I like it because it's quite a unique setting (can't think of many manga about Police in general, especially US Police) but Koike's writing for it is not nearly as good as some of his other stuff.

Also continuing to read/wait for scanlations of several delinquent manga from 70s/80s to be done.
