Artbook piracy

I really really love artbooks especially anime artbooks, it is not a very obscure interest but these artbooks are relatively hard to find, does anyone know of really unknown communities to find anime artbooks? besides ofc all the anime public and private trackers cuz they r not enough for me I want really obscure communities cuz I have searched so so much and all the known ones don’t have enough content

I had found a bunch of complimentary materials to what I was watching on rutracker-dot-org. It’s not anime-oriented, but it can serve as a last place to search them.

Search results with a simple queue

ru tracker is actually very good but it rarely contains original content from what I have seen most content there is taken from other forums or trackers, I m talking about artbooks specifically

does anyone know of any Chinese or asian anime/art/manga forums? like forums which are not known to english speakers? for example tsdm39

ExH, despite has same owner as E-H, has more content that not is available on E-H.

A lot of Chinese users also post their findings there.

it seems that ExH can’t be accessed in a normal way tho, but seems that there are workarounds to access it

nyaa is very lacking, the best communities from what I have seen are Chinese communities like tsdm39 but it is painful to use

Have you tried /a/ or /c/ or /jp/ on the 4chan? Pretty sure those are blue boards so they’re gonna be SFW. I think there was also an old site called kissmehentai which obviously is NSFW if that’s what your looking for.

yh 4chan is actually sometimes pretty good and no lol I m not looking for hentai I m only looking for anime artbooks, thx

Crack0n7uesday,

You could also try the original 2chan if that site is still around but if I remember correctly it was like 100% in Japanese. I remember back in the 90’s early 2000’s they didn’t speak much English on that site.

I don’t suppose you’ve checked Anna’s archive. Probably so, just didn’t see it mentioned by name.

I know zlib, annas archive, stc, sci-hub and irc lol but also they lack anime artbooks I m looking for super secret communities

I have tried searching on perfect dark but wasn’t great

themakara,

I found a whole bunch in a place I never thought to look: e-hentai.org Just look for the tag “artbook” and you already find a bunch. Or look for something more specific. Yes, you will have porn in between. Yes, its just the images without text embedded etc. But it’s a decent source.

I know EH (also called sad panda) It also still lacks content lol, I have been really deep into this and know all of the common forums and trackers and it seems from my research that the best places for anime artbooks are some chinese forums I want to know tho if someone had been deeply searching like me, thank u tho

lapommedeterre,

I got the FLCL art book from somewhere. I’ll try to remember and find my sources, but probably tomorrow since it’s late here right now.

Sailing7,

I don’t know where else you could look but the common E-Book & Audiobook places. So far many Books were not listed in the usual piracy sites. I had to search explicitly for the only Book/Comic/Audio Book related ones.

These sites however have TONS of Material in all kinds of categories. So even if there wouldnt be a “Artbook” Filter, if you look for a reocurring comic, make use of the reocurring name and hit the search with it.

You may have to check what are the best sites for your language though.

it is either english or japanese and the common ebook sites are so bad at this, the good places are the not very known communities, I actually checked japanese p2p websites and they still were also bad, thx for help tho
