First these American subbing companies stopped Dattebayo from subbing Naruto and Bleach, now they want to stop Onemanga?!?!
Time to migrate once again......... No one stopped Dattebayo. They bowed out voluntarily when official methods for watching subbed Naruto and Bleach on the same day they air in Japan became available.
Yea but the subs the officials on hulu/crunchyroll provide only come out A WEEK + after an episode's official release date (unless you pay then you'll have access to the episodes a few moments after Japan airs them) and even though they're able to provide good, accurate English to Japanese translations they still don't provide the good dialogue Dattebayo uses as well as the intro/outro karaoke feel... Well I guess I shouldn't care really since Anime44.com provides us with immediate subs and even though they're mediocre, guess it's better than nothing.
Anyways, oh how the wonders of capitalism today like to ruin the fun of things such as fansubbing and scanlations when it really provides them a better fan audience but I guess even then it won't stop so I guess most of us should be happy on that part. Are there any other scanlation sites that will provide Naruto and Bleach chapters since onemanga is down? 
Edit: Found mangastream, *adds to bookmarks*

Well yes. The consequences of 1) legitimizing anime acquisition and 2) supporting the industry is that you have to pay for immediate releases. Frankly I'm amazed they even offer it for free after a week.
Karaoke is useless. The people Crunchyroll pays to sub their stuff are ex-fansubbers and I don't see how their editors could be that much worse than Dattebayo's.
I don't know what Anime44.com is but I'd give them about a 99% chance of being a re-hosting site that takes CR rips; they do nothing themselves.

Go media industry take away a service that you provide poorly or not at all claiming that it hurts your business, when the business model you have set up is so out of touch with your base audience.
Although i do think one manga should have set up a regional thing base viewing on where you live and mangas in that area that are available, to avoid any debacle that or only display a month or twos work at any given time instead of the whole series.
But frankly that sounds like a ton of work for a fan site.

At least i finished fma, and there will be undoubtedly a mass download torrenting thing going on.

hey uh, I haven't read anything but if anyone knows other sites, can you share them so that they can be listed in the OP?
mangatoshkan.com seems good, and I think I misspelled that.
Mangatoshokan actually got all their stuff taken down before onemanga.

Dont give anime44 any credit for any of the subbing. They just rehost stuff like the million other sites out there that do the same.

I read enough series there to think that they have a point shutting it down lol :S
That website was the gem of the English-speaking manga readers worldwide. Good layout, good forum, clean translations, sh!tload of series.... and the list goes on. It will be missed.
I do think it's gonna turn into another piratebay fiasco (although not as universal) where everyone would actually contributes to the cause and force the law back. I hope it happens. And to be frank, those websites are the closest thing to advertising the foreign manga industry ever had; i wouldn't know about 1/10 of those series if it wasn't for them. Some of those previously unknown series are actually amazing too, like Hajime no Ippo.
Alternatively, the "official" anime/manga translators can just do their fucking job and keep shit fresh and updated. I'll rather learn Japanese to read mangas myself than to wait a year for those asshats to get around translating the current stuff.

Well there are also things like series that will never come to your region, in which case you need to find an official import that is in your language.
I mean i have no qualms about me watching one piece or Detective Conan in America because all the later episodes will probably never be licensed here and so it would be rather hard for me to find out if i can import a Japanese dvd then hope it has English subtitles and works with my region code.
Although ionno so much about mangas, i'm sure non popular mangas can be alot harder to find.

Mangatoshokan was the best before it fell a couple weeks ago. I moved on to onemanga. Now its dead. Im sure mangafox will follow shortly after. Just gonna have to go strait to scanlators now I suppose.

noooo this suckssss. seems like a lot of free stuff sites are falling >.<

R.I.P. OneManga, the best site to read manga, ever. I will miss you dearly, checking you for updates on a daily basis. Basically all the 22 mangas I read or have read have been on that site! It was my first manga site and the best I could find. The UI was excellent, clear and really easy to use =(. At least the forums will stay, although I don't participate in discussions there, I do enjoy reading them T.T

I can seriously go on and on about how fucked up and out of touch japanese industry is, but I'll summarize is with this.
Japanese industry tries incredibly hard to maintain the rules of the "old game" (ie the way things used to work). They refuse to innovate and adapt to the new technologies and consumer expectations that have become prevalent in the world. Instead of embracing digital media, they choose to stop its proliferation by any means possible. If I were in charge, I would do everything I could to make it as easy as possible to access and consume globally in a legal manner.
you have 26000+ posts for a reason, jeez Haji you crazy.
