I want to watch My Hero Academia but have run into a minor snatch;

you could always watch [horriblesubs] if there are no other groups releasing

but fyi, torrents that nyaa.pantsu got from the nyaa backup (as opposed to ones added after the site started) often claim to have 0 seeders when that's actually untrue

720p:

1080p:

For the missing episode 16 on 720p or missing 16 and 17 on 1080p, download it using XDCC. Or download everything that way, since it's easier. Or do both at once. Here's a guide for that: http://horriblesubs.info/irc-guide/

True, I had forgotten to check HSs since they've got so many subs out there. It may just be better/easier for me to grab everything from them, since I don't know how accurate the sub quality of [Rokey] will be (got the s1 batch from them) and since HSs seem to have all the eps thus far, so I may just go with their subs.
And yeah, I've ran into a few torrents that claimed to have 0 seeders but actually had a few, but these seem to only have 1 or 2 at most, with only a few peer connections as well.

I'm only familiar with XDCC by name alone; what exactly is the difference between grabbing these through an IRC channel and downloading torrents? Is it just an easier form of searching specific sub-groups and getting batches as opposed to skimming through torrent sites for what you want?

There isn't much difference. I usually just post Nyaa links, but since one or two episodes are missing (depending on resolution here), I also linked XDCC, since the episodes are on there. But knowing how to XDCC will help you get things quicker/easier in the future.

XDCC is basically direct downloading where you're downloading from one straight source via IRC that doesn't rely on hoping there's at least 1 seed with a decent connection. From memory, I don't think HorribleSubs releases batches through XDCC, only torrents. Might be wrong, but they haven't done a batch in a while, so I can't remember.

Torrenting is better for batches though, but since the second season of Boku no Hero Academia isn't finished, there isn't a batch yet.


Did that answer your question for the most part? I don't know if that was helpful exactly.

That gave me a good idea of it, thanks anon. It seems like it would be handy for those anime torrents that have little to no seeders. And I was considering waiting for a batch to drop once season 2 finished, but I'm finishing up on another anime soon and wanted to watch MHA sooner rather than later.

Well, there's a problem with that, since it's mostly only for HorribleSubs and more recent stuff, since the bots delete things as the seasons go on. So, you'll generally have to torrent stuff. XDCC is mostly just for seasonal anime.

Here's another XDCC list that has a bit more stuff than HorribleSubs and Arutha bots: https://nibl.co.uk/bots.php
