# Anime

If you want to get the best quality, use Direct Download, IRC, or Torrent. You can obtain full web release quality on a streaming site that scrapes the official site API, such as KickAssAnime for Crunchyroll and Bilibili content. Otherwise, it is hard to maintain the full quality while managing space & traffic. You can network stream files from direct download, irc and torrents.

# Stream

  • Aniwave formerly 9anime
    • Huge library with Watch Together feature
    • Less amount of compression compared to other sites that use 3rd party hosts
    • Original site's UI is bloated. Use Anix or 9animehq for more minimal experience.
  • Marin
    • Re-encodes files of other encoder groups while keeping the quality consistent
    • Uploads encoded Blu-ray versions if available
    • Clutter-free design and no watermark

  • KickAssAnime Proxies
    • Scrapes Crunchyroll(duckstream) and Bilibili(birdstream)

  • Aniwatch formerly Zoro
    • Huge library with Watch Together feature

# Scanlator

I have added all the well-known scanlators for manhwa and manhua, but for manga, it's not practical or possible to add all the famous ones. So I have added my favorite ones. Yes, this section is kind of biased.

# Nyaa Uploaders

# Step 1

Choose an IRC client you're comfortable with, as you can't use web IRC.

# Step 2

Connect to Rizon IRC network.

# Step 3

Register your nickname (all explained in detail here) and then add the IDENTIFY command to the Connect commands for Rizon

# Step 4

Type /join #madokami

# Step 5

Once there, type the following command into the channel - /msg sola REGISTER username password (you shouldn't reuse the password from Step 2)

Repeat this until you get an account, the cooldown should be 4 hours.

# Step 6

You may now use your credentials to log into https://manga.madokami.al and enjoy their manga DDL directory (note that you can only download 3 files at the same time, but don't have limits besides that). They also have Tachiyomi extensions.
