about

public facing server with a focus on film, anime and manga geared toward english speakers, so most things will be translated. I'm not paid to maintain this - it is so I can share stuff with my online friends more easily. while I include links here, please note that the files are not hosted by Neocities, they are hosted elsewhere. if you would like me to take something down, or contact me in any way, please send an html POST request to the following link: https://discord.com/api/webhooks/1139367744006013019/KYIlnDcgQ8sbiT6GMq3Lg1-lhx7KJMTv8YCF_Fm7shdS6T5SsUldCM42enkula9M2lyw in this format: { "content" : "your message, less than 2000 characters" } using javascript FormData object.

some important things

It has come to my attention that the platform I have been hosting files on will remove or alter their free service soon. So if things go down at some point in the next 6 months, this is a preemtive warning in case that happens and I'm not able to keep the site running.

I would also like to remind visitors of my site that these files are *not hosted on neocities.org, they are hosted elsewhere and available for download and for viewing here, for archival preservation and educational purposes*. This site does not make any money.

In the meantime, I am currently working on a bbs system/small forum.

  • reorganized news to be in reverse chronological order

8/10/23

site's third main iteration... some features removed (temporarily) while I learn to write better code

05/29/23

  • lowered the max number of concurrent download threads for batch chunk request to prevent hanging/memory issues
  • reviewed and removed some flash files
  • slowly adding some very large vhs rips to the anime folder since they are large files and can take many hours to upload

05/27/23

  • working on a better ui
  • fixing the search bar (sorry if it doesnt fully work yet)
  • batch (streamed) downloads via the 'download current directory', as opposed to downloading files one-by-one. this has been by far extremely difficult to get working reliably. it should work with folders that are less than a few gigs, anything bigger than that and it sort of works, but you will need a tool like 7zip to open the resulting files. anything about 20 gigs doesn't download.

02/01/2023

titles added: more versions of pulse, ringu, cure (several resolutions for differently sized devices so you can attempt to watch these on your phone). added more genshiken seasons and OVA. added yokohama shopping log, panty and stocking, and alien 9. the alien 9 folder has some interesting things in it since the files were obtained from a DVD rip. development of new site engine along with much cleaner looking code is still underway in between other things.

01/30/2023

somewhat of an in-between update of sorts to cope with the increasing size of our library. working on new site engine

01/15/2023

  • added HS of dead, danganronpa, black lagoon (se1, se2, roberta's blood trail, omake), gunsmith cats, watamote, genshiken season 1 and 2, welcome to NHK, melancholy of haruhi suzumiya, kobayashi dragon maid, and golden boy (whew!).

still working on a new (and more performant) frontend but haven't pushed the update yet.

12/29/2022

  • added bocchi the rock, witch from mercury, csm, and girls last tour anime.
  • added pulse movie.

12/23/2022

  • added some more music
  • reorganized music

12/22/2022

12/18/2022

  • adding excel saga + 2002 nurse witch komugi chan OVA

external links

below are some links you may find interesting, in no particular order. I am not associated with any of these sites unless I explicitly say so, they're just cool and often useful websites that I would like to share. enjoy.

links related to literature (manga, artbooks, books, anything on paper really)*

* this also contains reviews for things, regardless of the type of media the review is for, I still consider the review as reading material so it goes here.

links related to videos, film, anime, and cartoons

links related to music, soundtracks, and audio media and reviews for it

misc links I could not (yet) categorize, or new links that I recently added

  • unisearcher. if you're looking for a unicode character but can't remember what it's called, you can use this to find it. most other unicode websites are cluttered with ads and have abysmal design, but this one is simple, clean, and straightforward
  • animate archive - download old versions of flash that are no longer supported

If you have any feedback or questions there are instructions to contact me on the about page.
