Switching back over from exclusively ddl, was it impossible to

How does it feel to know the culture's been reduced to following currently airing anime?

nyaa is still around but it was never about old anime. Lurk more and learn to use google.

Been here for ~8 years now, it's not that I need to lurk more, it's that between shit like this and the death of fansubbing a while back, shit's dead outside of private trackers. You're just in denial.

Nyaa was never for old stuff, that was Bakabt. Also, the death of Nyaa has affected absolutely nothing anime-wise.

> the death of fansubbing a while back
What the hell does the death of fansubbing have to do with old shows not being seeded on torrent aggregators? That's about new subs being created, not previously-made subs being seeded, and it was almost entirely a new-release phenomenon, anyway - retro groups were always niche and have remained so, but were barely affected by the rise of simulcasts because those basically don't touch old stuff.

Because no one gives a shit anymore. The old subs didn't disappear, obviously, but no one's seeding them because most people watching anime have no reason to even come near torrents (why would you if it's the same as CR?). It used to be (and still is for things like vidya where torrents are alive and well) that at least a small percentage of the new blood would go to the old shit and keep it alive, but there's none of that whatsoever now. You can't even middle-popularity shit from 15 years ago now, it's fucked.

This is all for public trackers and how that community spills over into /a/ and shit, though. I make no claims about private trackers, I'm sure BakaBT is doing just fine.

What. First off, I still don't see what that has to do with fansubs dying, since the stuff that doesn't have seeds isn't usually shit you can find on CR, and the people who'd potentially seed it aren't the kind who'd be streaming, anyway, so this logic is flawed (and you could always stream stuff, to boot; with a much bigger selection than CR has). Second off, as I just said, nyaa was basically never reliable for old stuff. Your time as exclusively-DDL is misleading you about how things were, I think. That's the main reason people used BBT (before it went private a few months ago) - for the old stuff that they had and nyaa didn't.

More people torrenting their anime in general means there's going to be spillover. A lot of users means the difference between 0 and 2 seeders on random shit, even if the vast majority would be there for newer things. You're right if we're speaking in general, but here a few outliers that come with any influx of people are a huge deal.
>Your time as exclusively-DDL is misleading you about how things were, I think
That's possible. I missed torrents so maybe I misremembered things, but when it's impossible to find anything but the most popular anime from before simulcasting became the norm, it's hard to say things are in a good state. There isn't even a way out atm, is there? I hear BakaBT doesn't even have an invite system yet.

Are you high right now? How the hell can Kissanime have better quality then the actual files when everything there is reencoded FROM those files. It has better availablity but worse quality.

>>159017344
Meaning from better sources that are no longer being seeded on public trackers, while you may be able to find a shitty source with a seeder or two somewhere. It was a garbage point and mostly out of frustration, though, availability is what I was trying to get at.

Ok OP, where the hell can I actually find shows like the one you posted? Because holy hell if this obscure 'subgenre' of shoujo isn't the single most overlooked and underappreciated thing in all anime.

Wish I had a good answer for you. Daa! Daa! Daa! in particular and a lot of anime on that level of semi-obscurity are on kissanime and shit, but if you want to find a seeded non-Russian subbed torrent, you're pretty much fucked...maybe BakaBT, but that's private with no invite system atm.

I'm trying to watch every TV anime released last decade that I can get my hands on in order, so this is a pretty frustrating problem. For Mama wa Shougaku 4 Nensei, are you sure that's even been subbed beyond episode 5? Even looking at shit that no one's seeding, I only see batches of 1-5, and the DDL links I'm finding only show 5 episodes. I think you're fucked there.

I made an old Daa! Daa! Daa! video featuring Chris-chan.

She was literally the best thing about the anime.

I know Nip, I specifically want to find it for this reason.

If you're just looking for any source, it's on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8dnaov62cX-T5CV1ewXgmJgprhcv3HbL

if you're looking for a torrent like I imagine you are, you're still fucked

Have you tried animetorrents?
