*Sometimes YouTube videos are mainstream media, so if you regularly watch YouTube videos but only ones that are breaking 3M+ views, I would count that as mainstream entertainment media.

saw an anime piracy post with links i didn't like, so i'm creating my own - updated 2023/3/25
as always use an adblocker everywhere you can, preferably ublock origin on pc, if youre on mobile you can use adguard (both android/ios) or firefox nightly with ublock (android only)
anime streaming - a majority of these sites pretty much function the same, especially for newer shows - animepahe.ru - my personal favorite, with adblock it Just Works - 9anime - the old classic, has a huge library and still works perfectly - gogoanime - another old classic, most other streaming sites steal their rips from here directly
manga reading - tachiyomi - android front end that aggregates all sources into an easy to use app, highly recommend. there's also tachidesk for pc, though i personally have not used it. all the below sites also exist as tachiyomi extensions - mangadex - the classic, has pretty much all scanlation content out there, servers are very stable now compared to years ago - dynasty-scans - the go-to for yuri content - mangasee - my personal favorite for officially licensed content, ad free!
visual novels - this section focuses on direct downloads, but for vns especially, i greatly prefer torrenting - ryuugames - has lots and lots of porn, but also has almost every other vn here too, has link shorteners, my preferred dl source is onedrive - erogedownload - older site, doesn't have everything and has downloads split across 200mb files - gog-games - though not explicitly visual novel-centric, many vns are published on gog and are available to download here, along with the bonus gog goodies
torrenting/other bonus things under the cut
anime/manga/vn torrenting - this method is preferred over direct downloads/streaming if you can help it - for starters, you definitely need to use a vpn for this, if you are unsure what to use r/vpn has a really detailed provider comparison table, i personally recommend mullvad, though - you will also need to use a torrent client in order to download content, use qBittorrent for pc and flud for android - nyaa.si - has most content out of anything, your go-to site, if you are looking for official manga add "digital" to your search - sukebei - nyaa sub-site that contains any r18 content, most visual novels are here instead
light novels - admittedly, i am not as familiar with lns, but here is what i've used/seen around - novelupdates - my personal go-to, does not host links themselves - webtoepub - converts websites into downloadable epubs, works with ao3 as well
raws - itazuraneko - your best bet, has manga/light novels/visual novels/movies/japanese subtitles for anime, also features japanese guides - bszip - another source i use infrequently, has manga/light novels/magazines
syncing - if you like tracking your watching/reading with sites like mal/anilist/etc - malsync - browser extension that despite its name, works with mal/anilist/kitsu/simkl - taiga - windows app that works for downloaded anime, also contains a built in torrent tracker
additional links - i personally can't vouch for all of their items, but thewiki.moe and their catalog theindex.moe both are invaluable resources, with tons of sites and feature filtering
