I'm sorry but you clearly don't know much about new formats and such. I suggest you use google or something else and really learn about what mkv and other formats are before you call them backwards or obscure. You do not have to download extra software. MKV is easy to playback.
The SD Mp4 of OT's is of better video quality than the HD of T-N. And honestly.. People that watch anything streamed like that don't care about what group did what.
Mkv is not a format readily compatible with most video players, including the default ones that come with most PC's and media players. You do have to download extra drivers and software, even O-T says so in their website:
HALP HOW DO I PLAY UR SUBS
If you downloaded one of our torrents:
Windows: Get CCCP
Linux: Get mplayer2
Mac: Get MPlayerX
If for whatever reason you'd prefer to watch your subs with a raw you previously downloaded, download the script you want, and check this playback guide for further reference.
There....there are streaming sites hosting these videos? Certainly not Youtube where half the subs are in some arabic language....
I had a hell of a time even finding KR when I first went searching for it a few years ago. 'Twas the main reason I never got into it before. There were very few torrents on 3rd party sites. As soon as I was linked to TVN's site at last I grabbed every torrent in sight.
Of course nowadays when I search the same sites I did before I come up with TVN and Overtime filling the whole list. The scope and popularity and availability of things on the internet change with time. And I don't think that the majority of people that watch fansubbed works do it via streaming sites. I certainly always go to torrents first and foremost, but I've been watching anime in a variety of formats for the better part of a decade so...maybe I'm not the majority.
If you Google the shows to watch them, the first things you are going to see are links to the episodes in streaming sites, such as Youtube, Facebook, DailyMotion, Veoh, etc. A Youtube upload of TV-N's 199 Hero Battle received over a million views before it was finally taken down; I doubt much direct torrents get that big a number in downloads.
Torrenting is an advanced technique that requires more know-how and effort than simply going to a website and pressing Play.
