Himura-KAORU.com – .rmvb Anime and J-Drama Direct Downloads Site
Another .rmvb direct downloads site here, but this one is as filled with J-Drama as it is with anime episodes. It’s not a new site, and in fact, has been in the scene for at least a year now (it’s more established than this blog anyhow), but in the past, himura-KAORU.com used to focus primarily on Sailor Moon and Magic Knight Rayearth only, as well as suffer from bandwidth outages rather often.
Today, I am happy to say that the site’s anime selection has expanded, but am slightly sad to say that most of the anime and J-Drama available are now hosted on free file hosts (primarily Sendspace and Rapidshare).
In any case, if you can handle the .rmvb, here it is:
- Speed: Above Average
- Content: 6 completed (e.g. Full Moon wo Sagashite, Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, etc.) and 3 ongoing (i.e. NANA, Tsubasa Chronicle and xxxHolic) anime series, plus 5 J-Drama series (e.g. Gokusen, Hana Yori Dango, Densha Otoko, etc.).
- Video Format: .rm and .rmvb (LQ to HQ). Some J-Drama episodes are encoded well enough to constitute as High Quality.
- Note: Hassle-free site, e.g. no registration or forum posting required to access downloads. Ad-free too. However, all the J-Drama and quite a bit of anime are hosted on free file hosts (e.g. Rapidshare).

Haha, I have a funny story (to the owner of himura-Kaoru: this is just for fun, I hope you dont find it offensive, or you can just tell Zmang to remove this):
Last time I emailed the owner of himura-Kaoru.com, asked if we can be affiliates, and he/she kindly emailed back to me said that he/she saw a pic on my front page which looks like ecchi and “not comfortable linking
to it because of the anime picture on the main page. I do my best to keep
all links from my site safe for children.”
So I asked “how the sexy pic is any worse than the tranform-scence in SailorMoon.”
So sad he/she ignored me, I still want to know the anwser tho
. How the sexy pic is any worse than the tranform-scence in SailorMoon?
PS:
If you want to see how the pic looks like, go here http://shareparadise.net/ then scroll down a bit.

[...] A little weak on the “business” model for this sort of site though since its currently ad-free (which is a good thing for us leechers, but not the admins). When I say “this sort of site”, I’m referring to sites that provide the most recent .avi episodes as they tend to drain bandwidth like hell, at least compared to other ad-free sites like himura-KAORU.com which reencode their episodes into smaller .rmvb files.

First of all, the transformation sequence in Sailor Moon is totally overidden with multiple colors. You can’t even see anything. Meanwhile, your site hosts girls in suggestive positions with lacy underwear, which has nothing to do whatsoever with Sailor Moon. Hell, even DiC thought that the transformation sequences were considered ‘appropriate’, and if you had any previous knoweledge of SM, you would know how much material they cut from the series.
Himura Kaouru is a highly respected site. Your pictures may have been alright for you, but that doesn’t mean that thats suitable for everyone. The owner was only doing what she felt best for her site, as well as the best at what she could for the people who visited.
