Breaking our streak of Bleach and Naruto sites is KragaMuffin – a pretty famous and established direct download site. It’s always been featured on Anime Field’s A-Z List, but never in a standalone feature post.

So, here it is:

1) KragaMuffin

• Speed: Quite Fast
• Content: 24 complete anime series (e.g. Pita Ten, Green Green, Kita-he Diamond Dust Drops, etc.) and OVAs (e.g. Blue Submarine) , as well as 2 movies (e.g. Pia Carrot, Chibi Maruko-chan)
• Update Frequency: Low
• Video Format: .avi (HQ)
• Note: Hassle-free site, i.e. no registration or forum posting required to access downloads. Uses FTP (rather than HTTP) as its transfer mechanism, but you shouldn’t feel any difference since its an anonymous FTP (no username and password required).

Can’t really remember where I found this site from, but anyway… a hassle-free direct downloads site is always a good addition to an anime fan’s bookmarks list. However, according to the Russian text at the very top of the page, the site will be closing down soon “due to the lack of volunteers” or something like that (based on Babelfish translation).

1) Anime Online

• Speed: Slow
• Content: 42 full anime series (e.g. Angelic Layer, Azumanga Daioh, Dual!, Gravitation, Jubei-Chan, Kino’s Travels, Narutaru, Noir, etc.)
• Update Frequency: Unknown
• Video Format: .avi (HQ)
• Note: Hassle-free site, i.e. no registration required to download.

P.S.: It’s a Russian site, but unlike the other Russian sites I’ve heard of, this one doesn’t require you to have a Russian IP address. However, as expected, download speeds are slow.

P.S. 2: There’s a link on the index page to the site’s FTP as well, but it’s password-protected. The username is: anime, while the password is : emina. However, the FTP’s content is exactly the same as the HTTP-available content. So, I guess the FTP is for people who prefer using FTP clients.
