Been thinking about making this for some time now and decided to go for it even though originally wanted more stuff in here but will add on the thread over time.

I will just compile all kinds of stuff for both personal use and for others to read and maybe learn something new.

Video players and codecs:

MPC-HC (Media Player Classic)

If you want the most quality out of your anime MPC-HC, supports all common video and audio file formats and doesn't bloat your system. Also has lots of community created shaders and renderers: http://mpc-hc.org/

It is extremely lightweight, you can change UI's with 1, 2 and 3 if you want to change the looks or make it minimalistic.

MPV (MPV Plays Videos)

Also a great player, open-source and even have people raving about it being superior to MPC-HC: http://mpv.io/

VLC (VideoLAN Client)

If you don't mind the quality loss and just want everything to work right out of the box VLC does just that.

Quality difference in VLC and MPC-HC:

KCP (Kawaii Codec Pack)

KCP is a codec pack that contains the latest DirectShow components, utilized to decode an array of media types, pretty much a MPC-HC fork but instead of installing everything yourself KCP does it for you.

Want to watch anime in 60fps?

You can do so by following this thread: https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=4408014

Would only recommend this for fight intense anime.

Anime stuff general:

Nyaa

Nyaa is where i download anything on-going, open for everyone.

animebytes

If a show is finished i get it from animebytes, this site is invite only though.

HaruhiChan

Haruhichan is another good, open site to grab your tentacle hentai from. Looks way better then nyaa and is very easy to use.

https://animetosho.org/

The times i stream (only stream on my tablet) i do so from: http://www.masterani.me/ because i love how easy the site is to use and how extremely convenient it is that the website auto updates your MAL/HB for you!

Only other site i used before that was: http://kissanime.com/
If you actually want to support the anime branch you should consider a sub on crunchyroll, they don't have everything but they have a great service and it works great on pretty much any platform and is really convenient: http://www.crunchyroll.com/

If you want to auto log what you have been watching to MAL/HB you can do so by checking this out and find something that fits your OS etc: https://hummingbird.me/apps

I personally use Taiga since im on windows: http://taiga.erengy.com/

Here is a website that tells you when shows are getting new episodes and you can pick specific fansubs to, it also poops out RRS feed which can be used with Taiga to download new episodes: https://www.shanaproject.com/

Want to see what's airing at the moment and what will be coming up check this site out: http://anichart.net/

To track my watched anime and read manga i personally use HB but lots of people use MAL as well: http://myanimelist.net/
https://hummingbird.me/

Use whatever suits you the best.

If you want to transfer your MAL list to HB you can do so by going to http://myanimelist.net/panel.php?go=export and then importing the file to HB: https://hummingbird.me/settings

Youtubers doing reviews or anime related content:

https://www.youtube.com/user/GRArkada

Chromecast corner:
Wondering what a Chromecast is? Click here!

Plex

Since i prefer to download and watch my anime i use Plex to do so.

Crunchyroll allows you to stream directly to your chromecast now: http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/20...chromecast

You can also stream anime directly from masterani.me by using a Plex plugin: https://forums.plex.tv/index.php/topic/1...hd-and-sd/

Manga and Visual Novels :

Honeyview

Honeyview is what i personally use for reading manga on the computer, it's an extremely fast image viewer that i would also recommend to use for everything else and replace the stock one.

MComix

MComix is a dedicated manga reader, not the smoothest program on windows and is more made for linux.

I personally read on my tablet (iPad) and never on my PC so don't have any experience here but i guess you could either just torrent it and get some kind of reader (someone with experience here, do post)! Only site i can think of is: http://mangafox.me/
http://bato.to/
http://mangastream.com/manga

3TB db of manga and novels: https://manga.madokami.com/Manga
To be able to download from the site you need to register an account and you do that through irc: ftp://madokami.com/READ.txt

Another one:
https://github.com/ameboide/webcomic_reader

The app im using for ios is: Manga Browser, Downloader & Reader which is paid and pretty buggy with the downloading but other than that it's really nice. Not experienced with the free versions so someone else with any experience here feel free to post!

https://itunes.apple.com/se/app/manga-ro...75128?mt=8

If you want to keep up to date with whats out and if something has been translated yet: https://www.mangaupdates.com/

Games:

Osu!

Osu! HF already have a thread about it here: https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?ti...Osu+thread

https://vndb.org/

Stuff to add/do:
• Anime related youtubers
• Anime related pictures, music and music players
• Visuan Novels, light novels and anime related games
• Look up and research some good apps and methods of reading manga on all platforms
• Add a music section

Pervert-San for this.
King~ for these.


This is all i can think of at the moment, haven't slept all night so there is probably some flaws in the thread so if you find any do point them out so i can fix. Also if you have anything you feel is worth to add just post and i will have a look at it!

You can add this site if you want:
https://animetosho.org/

Added it to the thread, thanks! (⌒▽⌒)

Think you should add Osu

Huge anime community, and it's a game/music player. I mean I use it to play anime music like a music player. And to play :D

Totally should! Might as well just throw in a anime games topic. 👍

Nice idea but please work on the layout. Aesthetics means so much for these type of threads. :p

Feel so spoiled now, but would be super appreciated!

Some good youtubers
1. https://www.youtube.com/user/FightingforNippon
2. https://www.youtube.com/user/gigguk
3. https://www.youtube.com/user/HoldenReviews/videos
4. https://www.youtube.com/user/GRArkada

For visual novels, add https://vndb.org/

For reading manga, Batoto is the best website. Mangafox is trash btw.
For reading on iOS, MangaRock is currently the best app I have tried
On PC, https://github.com/ameboide/webcomic_reader is a great script to add a lot of functionality to a ton of sites (for example, it can automatically re-size the pages to fit your screen.)
Also, https://www.mangaupdates.com/ is a very helpful resource. I primarily use it to check if a chapter has been released/translated (it's usually up-to-date on everything)

Crunchyroll, Plex, and Netflix are all on Roku as well.

https://www.shanaproject.com/ - I think azsry had a tutorial thread for this. It basically tells you whenever a new episode of a show you're watching is available. You can specify preferred fansubs and everything. It also generated an RSS feed which can be used in Taiga to automatically download new releases.

Thanks! Yeah the thread is located in AF section though so can't really link it here, also threw in credits in the thread so people can see who contributed with what.

@king But gigguk has been kill :/

Yo your manga section kinda blows. For new manga, go to /a/ and search one page thread, they usually always have a thread dedicated to a lot of different manga. I like reading on mangahere since the tsukkomis are amazing, but any reader works since sohabsites have things that others do not.

Yeah doing some research on it at the moment, using 4chan sometimes to see if there is anything new that i missed that's worth watching so going to throw that into the thread.

[crazyycast13]

What happened to gigguk? Haven't watched anything from him in a while.

No clue, that's the thing. He keeps saying he'll make reviews, but he really hasn't for over a year and a half.

Updated:
Added http://mangastream.com/manga to the list.

[In‌sane‌]

Giving this an update because it hasn't been touched in a while, going to add a music section that as well (where it's obtained, where to discover and the best way to play it). Other than that i can't really think of anything else that needs to be added, i will probably not post again in the thread whenever i update to avoid ing it (annoying for some). Tired af so might be some fuckups, will double check in the morning.
