    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.

    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.

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

        Am I missing something or is Miru $13.99 for the Android app? Just want to make sure I’m looking at the right thing before I buy it. Also really surprised something like this is on Google Play.

        I was using Aniyomi but I think ot’s almpst at the end without extension updates…

          Yeah, it should be the right one

          It’s free on desktop but because donation goal wasn’t hit he made it paid on android to cover for his time

          It’s a seamless experience, but I would understand it if you pick streamio over it because it’s paid

            Ok thanks! I checked out the desktop app and it’s pretty awesome. I may just get the android app. One more question and then I’ll leave you alone, do you know if the android app can chrome cast?

              Not sure, official discord exists and there is a FAQ

              I’d wager that it does since this dev is acoustic as hell and is trying to polish everything into the app
