Cut off one head and two more shall appear. Hail hydra!
My favorite anime website is down; good thing FMHY has a bunch of great ones to choose from. Migrating sucks, though.
Thank God we have torrents, but what makes me most sad about this is that many of these sites have unique catalogs that torrents don't have or that you can never get seeds from... being honest, I would 100% migrate to torrent if it didn't have this small big problem.

And Netflix/Hulu/etc. new accounts are skyrocketing, I presume?
It would be funny if no observable increase in new user happens
I noticed Animix Player doesn’t have “no ads” servers anymore and even when it opens the ads it doesn’t play. 😭
I2P ftw

Torrenting will become huge again
I mean... when did it stop being huge?
It's just back to business as usual.

Like others I've ~~seen~~ been torrenting my episodes instead, but man... I miss the convenience.
Don't get me wrong - torrents are great, but for me they're the best when I want to binge watch a complete series and/or keep it indefinitely. I'm typically following ~10 series/season = episodes/week; I need to find the series in a certain torrent site, then download it, watch it, seed it... it's a bit of a bother, you know.
I know there are ways to have torrents automatically download when they appear, so you could set it up to have your episodes download as soon as they're ready and you can watch them at your convenience. I don't recall how, but I know I've read about that, but never needed it myself. I'm sure it's easy to find the resources online.
I ended picking Miru (from another comment) up to watch anime, so I won't automatise the system - I'll use the RSS just to warn me when there are new episodes. That said, this extension (to allow transmission to download from rss) plus this site (to sift the RSS feed, so you don't download e.g. individual episodes alongside batches) could help.
Setting up Sonarr is pretty easy, and using it is even easier. I definitely recommend it. Works great for me with Plex/Jellyfin.
If you want convenience, go for jellyfin/plex, radarr, sonarr, browlarr, usnet/torrent indexer and jellyseer.
Nothing is more convenient.
Sonaar with Plex/Jellyfin is about as convenient as you can get. The only thing missing from torrents, usenet, and now even Crunchyroll itself is comments.
Hey.
Want convenience?
Miru is more convenient than even crunchyroll from what I experienced.
Awesome, thanks!

I miss the convenience.
I busted off my convenience for a little bit when setting up Plex + Riven + Zurg (the same could be said about my Arr stack) after that huge learning curve it is all about convenience baby, I get all my stuff in all my devices with one single account, keep the progress of the full library even pair it up with services such as Trakt, and I can even share the love.

I feel like all people recommending torrenting here are not really understanding the users of those streaming portals. I use them because I dont want to torrent the newest anime epiaode every week and I dont want any automated torrenting setups, because every mistake/fuck up might result in a 3 to 4 digit fine.
I torrent when it actually makes sense for me (high quality or offline viewing) and stream the rest. I am grateful for all those that provide me with those streaming sites and I regularly recommend them to friends after I install an adblocker for them.
Seedbox?
I use one, but its a cheap legacy contract and I literally just torrent there, seed till I have a ration if 1 and then download to my own hardware
That's about what I'd expect 🤷♂️ What about the flow isn't working for you? (genuine question and am happy to help 👍 )
They are pointing to a solution, not saying streaming is bad.
Where are you that you could face such a steep punishment? Setting up safe, automatic tormenting is really easy

Why don't you just use real debrid or something and stream the torrents remotely?
Sounds like streaming from a streaming site with extra steps. But yeah when I torrent I use a cheap seedbox and then download from there to my own hardware.
Except that such an extra step is way better in quality and streaming speeds, compared to streaming sites, if you care about this or 1080p/4K high bitrate media.
As a matter of fact, since you can stream and also download torrents with a debrid service, I'd say paying a cheap seedbox (debrid services are cheap as well) is torrenting with extra steps... Without the ability to stream.

Do streaming sites actually work for others? Like reliably? At least for me, sometimes they work okay, and I can watch a movie without any buffering, but most of the time I have to deal with lots and lots of buffering. Sometimes every few seconds even. Maybe it's because of the VPN? Never tried it without. But then again, even with a VPN, I get around 75Mbps.

So. What android apps and extensions are still best? Dantotsu with extensions seems hit and miss. Probably due to these takedowns.
