Stumbled upon this today while I was looking to grab the latest release of Parfait Tic!!! (thank you ShoujoMagic!) (<3 Parfait Tic xD)

This xdcc bot offers releases from various groups, including MangaProject, ShoujoMagic, Manga-Koekje, SnoopyCool, Aku-Tenshi, AnimeWaves, Be With You Scans, Da Gurlz Translations, etc. etc. Let me just say, LOTS of groups

Anyway, just head over to the packlist to check out what this bot has exactly. It resides on the IRCHighway server, in various channels. Not sure if the bot is on any other server, but IRCHighway is your safest bet since that’s where most scanlation groups have their channels

DL method: IRC, Bittorrent, DDL

This group is not a fansub group, but a scanlation group. They are one of the groups who scanlated Ichigo 100%, though I didn’t read it. I did watch the anime, which wasn’t that great :\ The manga is probably much better, but I wouldn’t know, lol.

… Got off-topic, back to topic now. Their bot doesn’t have a lot, but it contains all their latest releases. They also distro via BT and HTTP. I ask that you avoid downloading via HTTP, because this method of distro costs a lot more than IRC or BT! That is why I am still debating whether to post about DDL sources…

*ahem* Back to topic (again). If you looking to download their older releases, simply check out their projects page, then find the title you are searching for. Usually, there will be a BT and/or HTTP link beside each chapter or volume, unless the title has been licensed or something.

Another fansub group! This one’s got lots of bots ^^ I didn’t post the link to Shinsen-Subs’ bot lists though, since they did not publish it on their site. Don’t worry, if you go to their IRC channel, you’ll be able to get the link

They have a live bookmark, for any Firefox users, so you can always quickly check if they’ve released something new. It might work as well if you have an RSS reader, but I’m not sure how those things work, so… yea.

One last thing - there is also a direct download site that offers the latest SHS releases, but I won’t post it here as I discourage DDL when there are alternate DL methods. You are always welcome to do some digging if you are really desperate
Edit (Oct 01/07): I think their DDL has been gone since a really long while ago… sorry.

This group does sub licensed titles, so do your homework before downloading!

I wanted to update this site, but couldn’t think of any more generic IRC sources (at least not right now). Sooo moving onto fansub-group-specific bots! Know that I love bots

Anyway… Lunar-Anime is one of those groups that I’ve come to follow. I’ve watched quite a few titles by them, including Aishiteruze Baby, Bleach, AIR, Suzuka, REC… Currently, I’m following their Ouran High School Host Club releases. This show is pretty hilarious ^^

So, links are at the top of this post, as usual. You will find new releases available via IRC, provided by at least a couple of bots. There are also some older releases, but if what you are looking for isn’t on the bots, you can still download it via BT, unless it’s been licensed. Lunar-Anime’s policy is to stop subbing/distributing licensed series.
