Japan Animation Leaders Unite for YouTube Initiative:
Toei Animation, Kodansha and other anime content providers have banded together to start a channel on YouTube. The goal is to have 30 companies providing 3,000 anime titles by 2022, with the number of views per month reaching 300 million.
Called Animelog, or Anilog, the channel was launched Friday by Analyzelog, a company that supports corporate digital strategies. The target audience for the channel is currently local, but there are also plans to add sub-titled content in English and Chinese for overseas fans.
[...] "There exists a problem of illegal video distribution service these days, but "AnimeLog" will distribute only officially-licensed animations and operate as a safe channel that families can enjoy together," said Analyzelog in a statement.
Currently, the AnimeLog アニメログ channel has 225k subscribers with no content.

Plenty of torrent sites have a fantastic selection. Given that bittorrent is nearly twenty years old and fansubs were being widely distributed even before it was a thing, I'd say it's about damned time they started trying to compete.

TPB was always a shitty source for anime. It's become all but useless for anything since the revamp.
