Whoever was trying to use Anthropic's Claude to scrape or whatever the hell you were trying to do to our site, you have now caused us to block it entirely. I do not appreciate hundreds of thousands of hits at once aimed at our site with zero attempt at rate limiting or frankly any use of common...

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...

To reduce the monthly costs of running FTV and MATV I have reduced the size of the server instance and migrated it over to the original FTV server. This means that FTV is back in its original home since 2011, with modern software etc of course. The new location is a smaller instance therefore it...

I think it is about time to face reality, FTV / MATV has been practically dead for some time now, and despite my best efforts to try to find anyone willing to help or even write posts, no one is interested. Therefore, I will start to close some of the site down, starting with items that are the...

Welcome to yet-another-update of the website, this time the change is to our front page. Over the history of the site we have had many different designs, from anime updates to the pulse system and the Necromendations. The past 5 years we have been in a bit of limbo, with a mix of broken parts of...
