Work has continued on the MATV Tohsaka system and I'm pleased to say that the new server now has a working screenshot engine! Finally we are once again able to have nice anime pictures that we took ourselves and not having to rely on Crunchyroll for everything. It will take some time for the CDN cache to update around the world but already some of the new images are coming up. In the mean time here is a screenshot of the new screenshots!

6th Septober 5500. Hello, my name is Maho Nishizumi I am 18 and this is my log of life at Tiger's Meadow of the faction of West Tiwado. My friend SN-P140PQ (we call her PQ for short) suggested we write a log of our time here in case anyone should ever find us. We arrived here 2 quadrums ago, there are 7 of us, aside from myself there is PQ and also SN-P985CY (CY) who are Paniel Automaton Test Subjects, Rin Tohsaka, Kasumi Webster and Natsuki Dane who are humans like myself. We also have a prisoner Sarah Simmons who is currently locked in the shower room. She is from Entinor a hostile faction, her transport pod crashed on the beach 9 days ago. She was badly injured but I managed to patch her up, I now have some familiarity with medical...

It has been a concern for me for quite some time that the site content is looking rather disorganised, we have Anime discussion threads which do feature the wiki data but don't interact with the series or anime updates pages. Then we have the series / anime updates which don't interact with the forum or the wiki. And don't even get me started on the gallery. If you want to find an anime, where the hell do you do go? You can find articles on it on the front page, you can discuss it on the forum, you can watch it on the anime pages, and you can read about it on the wiki but its kinda the same as the article or the discussion. It is a total mess, it is confusing and it desperately needs fixing. Today I am very excited to show a very early...

[Picture: Rin Tohsaka-sama. Why?: You need a reason for a Rin pic???? Also obvious name match.] I hereby present the very first release of MATV's Tohsaka XXII, it is version 1.0.0 Alpha, the first ever version for Xenforo, and the first ever addon that I have packaged up into a release file. Translation: Its really rough and experimental, don't expect it to work at the moment. MATV Tohsaka is the name given to the Anime database system that powered the entire anime info side of MATV, it provided the anime series pages, streaming updates, anime updates, screenshot engine, series info etc and basically everything that wasn't the forum. It is literally the entire system behind MATV. If you have used MATV at all before 2019, or used FTV...

Happy Birthday Maho! To celebrate Maho day, please enjoy these videos and of course be sure to re-watch every episode of Girls Und Panzer! Note: Some of these DO contain spoilers! Also, if you like any of these, I'd suggest downloading them with something like ClipGrab, as Youtube likes to delete these randomly.

I have decided to try out a new layout for the Animes section of the forum, starting with this season a new forum will be created for each anime season. Once the season ends the threads will be moved to the forum area for that season and the 'Current Season' will then receive the new threads. The idea is to allow us to use the article layout which will create a display similar to the many anime charts we all love. As this is a new idea, I welcome feedback and suggestions below, please do let me know what you think and how it could be improved. The new threads will feature the first post with info from the wiki, this allows it to be easily updated with more info by staff at a later date. Here are some screenshots in our two main colour...

I was going to write a dev update post today and went looking for a Maho picture to use and remembered this scene from Girls Und Panzer Das Final part 1 where Maho and Erika are on a video call. I wanted a nice screenshot of Maho using a computer or something as it was a technical post, but I got distracted by this scene and it really made me think how much is hidden in this scene. Just two screenshots are required. On the surface, we have Erika asking "Is it really ok for me to be the new commander?" and Maho replying with "Don't fret over the results. You should find your own Senshado." Ok, pretty simple right? Erika has a bit of self doubt, Maho is reassuring her, lets get on with the Tankery? But no. I don't wanna. I am a huge...

Welcome to my new blog! Picture: Maho eating Pocky. Why? Because awesomeness. This was supposed to have all of the old posts imported from Wordpress by now and look nice and all that, but I'm lazy, and I've been distracted by other things, and <insert more excuses here>, so it hasn't happened yet. Why am I writing this then? Because I wanted to get this alive and leaving a random post about Chocotto Sister being available on a video library that doesn't exist anymore is actually back up again, as the first post seemed a bit odd. I felt like writing, and so here I am, writing. Why does that matter? Because I have not felt like writing a random blog post in years, maybe as long as 5 years, maybe its more (if I had actually done that...

All 24 Episodes Now Available to Stream or download in the Video Library. The story centers around a Christmas wish made by Haruma Kawagoe after his mother had suffered a miscarriage, followed by an operation which prevented her from having any more children. Several years later, when Haruma is a college student, a woman on a flying motorbike claiming to be Santa Claus delivers his wish, a younger sister. When he remarks that he made his wish a long time ago, "Santa" replies that making a little sister takes a lot more time than just making an android, takes his signature for delivery, and departs. Haruma now has a little sister, who comes with her own instruction manual—a manual for how to be a little sister, that is. When she asks...
