While many older links (like the "39-LINK" format) may lead to dead ends or outdated file-sharing sites, these remain the gold standards for finding raw footage: 1. Nyaa (Torrenting)

Finding high-quality —episodes without subtitles or dubbing—is a top priority for several groups in the anime community. Whether you are an Anime Music Video (AMV) creator , a student practicing Japanese immersion , or a member of a fansubbing group , getting your hands on clean, high-bitrate footage is essential.

Nyaa is the most comprehensive public tracker for anime. Most uploaders provide "dual-audio" files where you can simply turn off the subtitle track in your media player (like VLC or MPC-HC). Look for tags like or groups known for high-quality rips. 2. Erai-Raws / SubsPlease

Use VLC Media Player or MPC-HC . These allow you to right-click the video while it’s playing and select Subtitle -> Sub Track -> Disable .

These groups are the successors to the famous HorribleSubs. While they primarily provide subtitled releases, their files are often "mkv" format, meaning the subtitles are a separate layer. You can disable the subs to get a perfect raw experience. 3. Japanese Streaming Services (VPN Required)

Most viewers prefer subtitles, but "Raws" serve three specific purposes:

Advanced Japanese learners use raws to test their listening comprehension without the "crutch" of English subtitles.

Editors need "clean" footage without text overlays to create high-quality AMVs, TikTok edits, or YouTube reviews.

For editing, always aim for 1080p (FHD) . If you are downloading older shows from the 90s or early 2000s, look for "Remastered" or "BD-Rip" (Blu-ray Rip) versions to ensure the best visual clarity.
