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.

    • Huge library with Watch Together feature
    • Less amount of compression compared to other sites that use 3rd party hosts
    • Has both hardsub and softsub (multilingual)

Scanlators ​

Mangadex group

I have tried to add 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.
