Yeah according to the site owners copyright holders went after the servers themselves, the site owners said it's gone and not coming back. km had become obsolete imo and super sketch anyways, so it's not a super big loss, though not letting people get their bookmarks sucks.

The RSS won't do too much for you unfortunately since it only includes the ones on the page you're looking at. This userscript seems fine, though - the output is formatted like a MAL export though I haven't tried actually using it as one.
Thanks! Anything that lets me just have a list of series saved to a text file even is fine, without having to manually copy it all down since I've got like a thousand series in my bookmarks.

Correction, Kissanime is officially dead along with Kissmanga (though Kissasian, Kimcartoon, and unaffiliated sites like 9anime and GoGoanime appear to still be fine). Anybody know of any other decent anime streaming sites besides those two (and Crunchyroll of course though they don’t have quite the selection as a lot of the unofficial ones do)?

Looking it up, apparently Japan has tightened its piracy laws recently so it’s possible a lot of other unofficial anime streaming sites might not be far behind.

Yeah I'd say less than any specific cause leading to a loss of prominence for shows like Haurhi I think thats just a mechanic of time. Also feel like what we watch burns faster now than it did 10 years ago in terms of how long it stays in the zeitgeist, maybe because theres more out, I wouldn't know.

More out and more being available to the average western consumer. When haruhi got huge maybe half the shows airing per season were being translated, and people were only aware of half of those. These days even casual fans have access to every new show and can easily google whats coming out

It’s kinda crazy to think that between Hulu and Netflix* now new younger fans can just look at a pretty decent chunk of popular older shows either dubbed or with not terrible subtitles, thinking about it.

*yeah Crunchyroll is a thing too but idk how many twelve year olds can buy a subscription as opposed to just watching Naruto on your family Netflix account

Haruhi lost prominence because it's a bad show and zoomers have better taste than millenials do.

Captain Invictus posted:

apparently kissmanga exploded a few hours ago, I doubt anyone still used it but it does make me wonder if there is a method to back up bookmarks on mangadex easily, like an export option or anything, just so I've got a list of series if I need it if mangadex also explodes

I've been using mangago's lists and tagging features to keep track of not only what I'm reading but what I've read in the past plus ratings, content tags, and even whether or not they're licensed and/or if I bought them and I'm going to be so bummed when they eventually get nuked and I lose all of that. I have no idea how I'd preserve it either, other than transferring it all manually to a spreadsheet or something and I've got like 3k titles on there if I combined everything so that's a little more work than I really want to tackle.

for starters disappearance basically resolved every emotional and plot thread that had been established in a satisfactory way

thats why the novels after disappearance have to suddenly introduce a bunch of new characters

I'd say if anything it's more of a simpsons thing where you're like "...It's still going?"

Not that it is now, but I mean, when it was.

I'd imagine when most of the people who are here first got into anime, people told them there's a list of "much watch shows" on whatever genre they really liked because there was only like, five good ones.

Not if you live anywhere outside of the US. All of the streaming sites have absolute loving trash catalogues worldwide.

I'd say the coward's way is the ambiguous ending or the Harem ending. This is sorta similar to those but at least it's more entertaining this way.

I never read We Never Learn but I do kinda respect the meta-chutzpah of the author just going "well poo poo it's my story and I can write/draw whatever I want, so I'm just gonna write every possible variation of the ending until I get bored"

harem is the best ending because then you can wonder how it pans out in 10 years when the sex gets old.

There's five main girls. After one of them "won," with an epilogue and everything, that chapter ends on "1/5."

Basically, each girl is getting their own ending story, lasting about 10 chapters each.

Acerbatus posted:

There was a definitive character that "won", but instead of just ending the series after that, there have been a bunch of "What If?" arcs showing the other characters succeeding in getting the relationship instead. I'm personally fine with it as it's essentially just supplimentary material you can ignore, but for some people it makes them angry that the Author couldn't just commit to only one ending. :shrug:
