Looks good. But Bernd prefers loading the video files from Erai-raws or similar providers directly to his Nas and watch directly on TV. Bernd doesn't like watching things on PC. Also streams on such sites like the one used by ani-cli have often worse quality and hardcoded subs.

I know about it because I watched this video a couple of years ago. But as the other German said, I also prefer torrenting.

Yeah, it's a convenient tool if you want to watch something from the cli. As other Bernd said, the hardcoded subs and the usual lower quality of the vids can be a dealbreaker. My main issue is finding a good source of jp subs for anime. kitsunekko doesn't have all the subs and I need it for further immersing myself in japanese.

>>16307 >My main issue is finding a good source of jp subs for anime. Don't the JP BDMVs have them usually? I guess you already know these sites: https://animelon.com/ https://tatsumoto.neocities.org/blog/resources

>>16314 >Don't the JP BDMVs have them usually? Where do you get your BDMVs? I use nyaa.land for torrenting anime and manga but I mostly find regular rips there. Never knew BDMVs had them. >I guess you already know these sites I do but it's been a few years. Gonna give it another look, thanks!

>>16333 >nyaa.land Is that an official mirror of nyaa.si? Well, for Japanese BDMVs private trackers are the best, sites like AnimeBytes (AB) and especially U2 (a Chinese private tracker with lots of dedicated uploaders). But it's a hassle to get into them, so probably not worth it for you. And I'm not 100% sure Japanese BDs have Japanese subs in all cases, but Western BDs always have subs in their own languages, so I thought it natural. At least it's worth a try. BDMVs tend to be really badly seeded on nyaa though.

>>16335 >private trackers Why though? Why don't people upload to public trackers? I hate private trackers. >YoUr RaTiO iS oFf Yeah fuck you, I downloaded some old shit and no one wants it even if I'm seeding.

>>16337 Why are you so mad? Nobody forces you to use private trackers. The private toilet will always be better and cleaner than the public one. https://igwiki.lyci.de/wiki/Private_trackers

>>16348 I'm mad because a lot of shit is hard to find in public trackers these days.

>>16349 What are you looking for for example?

>>16350 Nothing at the moment, but thanks in case you were offering to leech something for me.

>>16351 Sure, just make a thread about it on KC in the case you ever need anything particular.

>>16335 >Is that an official mirror of nyaa.si? Yup. >Well, for Japanese BDMVs private trackers are the best, sites like AnimeBytes (AB) and especially U2 (a Chinese private tracker with lots of dedicated uploaders) Good to know if I ever get the chance to get into one of them. Thanks for all the info, much appreciated. For my current purposes, nyaa.si/nyaa.land is alright. It's only the jap subs that are hard to find for anything that isn't extremely popular. I'll look around some more.

i downloaded :)

>>16276 Is that fucking streaming? Disgusting. Just torrent and use mpv.

>>16380 imagine being picky when current year streams are better than torrents back in the day. better than VHS and even DVD. looks fine even on a huge modern TV screen. where's the issue exactly? this anti-stream nonsense is some audiophile tier nonsense. remember when people were bitching about mp3 and only listened flac lmao fucking losers

>>16276 Pretentious shit. Doesn't download German dubs

>>16380 >>16385 ESPECIALLY in the case of anime. Most anime is animated at 720p or less anyway. For movies it's different, because there you actually see the difference.

>>16389 Why the feck would you watch with dubs

>>16380 Why? It looks great

>>16392 "Streaming bad" is a digital boomer thing. I'm also guilty of thinking this. When I think of streaming, I think of 280p RealPlayer cancer. Or flash shit in a browser.

>>16391 Because sometimes the dubs sound better than the original. I like the German dub of Death Note for example. >>16395 It's not that streaming is bad per se, but it's the content that gets streamed at too low bitrates. If you have your own server via Plex or Jellyfin etc. you can stream at a much higher bitrate, if you want to.

>>16395 When I think of streaming,. I think of paying 30 euro a month, but everything I actually want to watch is not available in my country or taken down permanently, so I have to pay 30 EUR now to a VPN provider and another 30EUR to a different group of movie streaming kikes.

It's not about esoteric quality matters. Watching anime with dubs is like reading news with google translate. Everything gets lost. Also the voice actors in the west aren't that good as the original ones. Also watching streams is shit because 97% of them have hardcoded subs. Also often they have constant bitrate. This is bad because you get a big file and in fast movement it's still blurry. If you use variable bitrate the file can get narrower but have high quality on every scene. Also you can encode episodes with AV1 or at least HEVC which makes files 50-70% smaller by same quality. Streams often use old mpeg4 or AVC. Also streaming has the problem that you don't download the file. And if you download it anyway why not torrent it in the first case. For Bernd now owning the file on a local hard drive is inacceptable. That is also the reason for Bernd to not subscribe to any legal stream like crunchyroll.
