Christmas came early! After nearly a year, here’s the next iteration of my Curated Collection.
Here’s to celebrating the holidays and (finally) the end of 2020.
TL;DR:
The vast majority of quality H out there all in one torrent, English subbed. ~400 shows, and ~1000 episodes, selected out of the nearly 900 shows watched and rated. This is an expansion and refinement of of my previous Curated Collection. Download, enjoy, and seed!
What has changed since the previous Curated Collection?
Err, a lot. Unfortunately, I don’t keep meticulous records of my fap patterns so I can’t provide a changelog. But here are the general changes:
- Updated for all H shows released in 2020 (subject to curation of course).
- I decided to exclude the
H Archived
folder from this release. Hence the smaller torrent. There are several reasons for this:
- The main collection has grown with the inclusion of 2020 releases, to the point where combined with
H Archived
, I simply do not have enough space and
H Archived
essentially hasn’t been updated this year anyways-- everything either went into the Collection, or into the Recycle Bin. H Archived
can still be downloaded at the previous release linked above.
- hanime.tv releases have been mostly purged. I was already phasing out hanime releases, and had long planned to replace old hanime releases in the Collection. Why? Simply put the quality of hanime releases is terrible:
- The vast majority of their “1080p” and “720p” are actually upscales of 480p sources. And terrible upscales mind you. This should give you a good idea of how bad the upscales are. The upscale essentially butchers the video source, destroying details, line art, and color. While to most it isn’t a big deal, the emphasis on this collection is for archival and long-term storage. Hence, quality is paramount.
- Not only is hanime video terrible, their audio quality is terrible as well. Not sure why they don’t retain the audio from the source, but it’s possible that they re-encode the audio multiple times (lossy too), or purposely crapped the audio to save on file size.
- Check the FAQ for a bit more on this topic.
- hanime compilations of “mini-episode” H have been retained ie H with 2 minute long episodes. Kept them because it is annoying having to switch to a new episode/skip the OP every 2 minutes.
- Puff releases have been integrated into the Collection. A big thanks to Puff for commenting on the previous Collection release and bringing his work to my attention. To say Puff is obsessed with quality releases wouldn’t quite do his releases justice. I’ve been following his work, and it is S tier quality shit. You may have noticed the release group SakuraCircle using his raws.
FAQs
- I have the previous Collection downloaded. How do I update it? Kind of… it’s not the most elegant solution, but this might save you some download time.
- Rename the previous Collection’s base directory to
Ecuser's Curated H Collection 2021
- Direct your torrent client to use
Ecuser's Curated H Collection 2021
's parent folder as the download location
- The torrent client should spend some time comparing, and avoid downloading already existing files. Note that this will not remove files that were deleted or altered for this Collection.
- This should work in theory, but I haven’t tested it.
- What does curated even mean? I judge the H for its pLoT, voice acting, animation quality, and fetishes covered. I then determine if it’s something I (1) want in my regular rotation of fap material, (2) should archive for future research, (3) or delete.
- That’s all very subjective isn’t it? Yes. Yes it is. That being said I do have fairly broad tastes so chances are you’ll find something interesting.
- Can I get a list of H included in this collection? Most of the H included in this collection will be on my MAL. Each of them has a numerical rating. Generally a 5-6 means “acceptable”-- good enough to include in the collection. The vast majority of H under 5 rating are deleted. Alternatively, check the files list under this description. I’ve also included a snapshot of my MAL profile in the torrent.
- What is the quality of the H files? The best I can find. Many are not 720p or 1080p because the raws weren’t HD to begin with-- most 720p or 1080p H streamed online are upscales to begin with. If there were BDs available, I sought to obtain BD rips.
- This torrent is way too big! You can selectively download parts of the collection that you’re interested in. For example: if you don’t like watching rape, then only grab the
V
folder for consensual content.
- How is the collection organized? There are three folders: MB, R, and V. MB means mind break: non-consensual sex where the victim “converts” and ends up enjoying the rape. R means rape. For the purposes of this collection, it means rape where the victim resists/ does not cave. Generally more brutal than MB. Finally the V folders hold all the consensual sex H-- no rape here.
- I actually liked hanime releases, 480p sources look like shit! Unfortunately, the vast majority of H releases are in 480p-- or worse. And for reasons explained above, even if many still think hanime releases look great… they really, objectively aren’t. The comparison linked above is a particularly egregious example of how hanime completely destroys the source. BUT I do agree that 480p DVD rips look terrible on modern screens.
- Enter the solution: madVR, the best option on PC for upscaling on the fly. madVR is a video renderer which features a number of upscaling algorithms for locally played media. Despite upscaling as you watch, the quality is surprisingly good as shown here. Note that this only ~medium settings on a 1080p screen. Honestly, despite being automatic, madVR does a better job of upscaling than hanime.
- Do note that madVR is dependent on your computer specs. My GTX 960M can upscale 480/720p smoothly at ~medium settings. While you can probably upscale with madVR on a device with integrated graphics, you will need to use lower quality settings.
- madVR is compatible with various media players, but I just use PotPlayer since I am lazy and madVR comes pre-installed with PotPlayer. Takes ~10-15 minutes to set up because you’ll want to adjust the settings (of which there are quite a few) to suit your preferences.
- How do you organize your files? This collection is compatible with AniTag, which is what I use to browse the Collection on my PC. I usually just have AniTag’s randomize function pick something for me to watch.
- What is the last addition to this Collection? [SakuraCircle] Saimin Seishidou - 03-04
(Note to future self: use 8 MB piece sizes for torrent creation)

How do your older hentai’s compare to the ones encoded by [CAL]? https://sukebei.nyaa.si/?f=0&c=1_1&q=[CAL] From my experience, these were the best encodes for older hentai.
Also from my experience, the .mp4 files with [erobeat] tag tend to look a lot different from the raw source because of their choice of filters.
Other than that, will be sure to check out your awesome collection! And ofc, I’ll let you know if some of the versions I have are “better” (or more closer to the raw source) than your files so you can update it if you want <3.
Also, do you have access to the blu-ray versions of bible black (only released in Japan so it’s censored)? There are torrents of it on animebytes but no public torrents for it yet after all these years.

Nice Collection thanks for that.
Too bad that madvr doesn’t work with Plex since i organized my Collection (Anime and Hentai) with Plex.

goddamn dude, you’re a saint

@boobychan
Honestly I haven’t settled on a good source for older stuff yet. I’ve mainly done research for people doing newer encoders, but looking into older encoders is something for the future.
As for the BB bluray, you’re going to be disappointed to hear that it’s basically the DVD source with fancy borders added on the side to make it fit 1080p. It’s not actually FHD at all.
@Slainor
True! A real shame.
@Shiina-senpai
Just an average weeb heh.

Thanks for this! I hate myself for not knowing about nyaa when I was downloading a shit ton of hentai from hanime.tv thinking “Oh yes, this is the shit right here”

Oh man I know that feeling. Had a lot of hanime.tv encodes in my collection for a long time. I knew that their “HD” content were upscales, but never knew they were that bad.
xOmnium
I only realized they were that bad when I started getting into the encoding stuff a few months ago. feelsbad.
I’m currently looking for the best copy of my favorite hentais but you just made it easier.

so what do you use now that you no longer use hanime

Yeah same here. Having everything stored locally has its perks, ie better quality control, better upscaling, no ads, better qol. But to get the most out of it you’ll need a good amount of space and a dedicated graphics card.
SomaHeir
So you don’t need to download the previous collection if you want to have everything?
It seems the file was cut a little bit compared to 2020 collection. I’m assuming duplicates got remove or something?
Thank you for doing this! Glad I found this again!!
Alertia
Ecuser, what do you think about adding Panda90’s releases to your torrent? Their hentai is all in 10bit and from good video sources.
https://sukebei.nyaa.si/user/Panda90
Ecuser (uploader)
@SomaHeir- Yup no need. The main reason this is smaller is because I used to have a folder for H that didn’t quite make the cut into the main collection. But since the time of that upload, that folder basically got no updates. So I left it out of this torrent to save on space.
@Alertia- It looks like Panda90 is remuxing uploads from PornoLab releases. I actually do use some PornoLab releases, though they often aren’t marked explicitly as such. I’ll just get H straight from the source and remux it myself, since I check the subs for spelling errors. That’s assuming I have time of course. For now, SakuraCircle and Puff are my main sources.

For some reason, AniTag doesn’t display the collection properly for me. It lists all the video files, but the MAL info is missing.
EDIT: Nevermind, I’m just blind and didn’t see the giant button that syncs the list to MAL.

Are you going to do 2022 version?
Shakakibara
waiting for 2022 version!!
kaneweiser
thank you so much for uploading! this collection is so precious that I put it on my seedbox and have seeded over 13.5TB in total!
VijaiGoku
See hentaibar they have high quality encodes
darkflux
first of all, THANK YOU for this treasure trove of many quality titles! it has supplemented my already sizable collection, and opened my mindhole up to some new shows :3
that said, there were a few things i wanted to point out:
i have “fixed” (read: changed) most of these in my copy of the downloaded files, which is why i can no longer seed currently. FWIW, i only have 1TB set aside for…“adult entertainment”, and your stuff takes up nearly half!
let me know if you want more info on anything.
P.S., where have the M,Futa and NTR folders gone from the 2020 set? i missed them, and those shows are not in any of your other folders ;(
qnkov
No seed. I cannot download Samayou Midara na Lunatics :)
