Welcome to the HMV Mania Twitter page!
HMV Mania aims to provide a safe space for HMV makers to share their videos with a community that cares rather than bowing down to corporate atmospheres.
The Martoise pixeldrain archive is now available. 50 files, 15.7 GB. You can access it in the HMV Mania forum thread, which also provides the full file listing.
Originally these videos were in a password-protected archive. That is not the case here.
The FH Tutorials from
@FhPixel
are now on the site in the Tutorials section.
The Tutorials Page now includes tutorials from three creators:
- Quantoz
- PixelFH
- Bastati
For anyone wondering about no new HMVs being uploaded as of 9 days ago: Looks like spankbang disabled uploads without prior notice and they don't have an ETA of when uploads would return.
We suggest HMV creators find a different site to upload to.
Five videos were added to the Martoise pixeldrain archive. Flamenco's two duplicates were also removed. It now has 53 files.
- [Martoise] Utage Under The GS Moon (04_UUGSM)
- Depth Tutorial, Round 1, Round 2, X.

We have an on-site archive for Martoise now. You can see the forum thread for more details:
A link to the HMV Mania forums is also in the sidebar menu now.
Another update on the side site development. A random page is available and creator pages now have video listings for that creator. Around 85% of the creators also have links now.
Attached is another demo video.
Today is the first 3D release. We have 2 2D and 3 3D videos today:
2D
[Lowlost] Dyuuality
[Kiraah] Unbroken – Makai Kishi Ingrid
3D
[CumminHam] (3D) Buffy Sugo LIVE performance
[HMV Hell] (3D) Shortstacks, Yordles, and Good Tunes
[HMV Hell] (3D) Urbosa, Heir To The Cum Throne
We're back online with the extended legacy server!
Access to the 1,688 videos is available again. We should be set until end of 2024, and discussions will be taking place on how we can continue long-term.
See this blog post for more details:
A lot of creators have been posting to iwara recently. We also understand we're not the only HMV-related site, but we'll be here and come back strong on the main site when we're ready again!
We'll aim to put this up on the site in the Tutorials section at some point. Thanks for the tutorial!
Bastati's tutorials, along with Quantoz's tutorial, is currently on the site.
We just prepared 42 more videos tonight, for a total of 70 drafted videos ready to go for when the legacy server gets synced and we move over to it.
These also include more than 15 new creators that would appear on the site.
Have a happy Easter weekend!
It appears LiliaHmv made the personal choice of leaving and deleting their own video posts from the site.
On a different note, for the April 12th release, you may find a surprise about someone you probably have been thinking of.
In addition to the base release for August 12 and 13, we'll release the following Martoise videos:
August 12
- [Martoise] BEAT METRO TRAIN ver0.04
- [Martoise] BEAT METRO TRAIN ver0.05
August 13
- [Martoise] (3D) Simple Beat Training
#02
- [Martoise] konoato
A demo of another dev site update: the addition of songs and sources for a video.
Song(s) listed can also have links attached to them as shown in the demo video.
Base release schedule for June 14 - 30, 2023 is attached.
We've reached a little bit over 1,700 videos, which means we're on the road to "300" more to 2,000 videos. Part of this release timeframe will involve releasing works from creators that have been waiting a while.
The main site's Home page is available again with the site trailer and four sample videos linked (two HMV, two AMV):
- [Corey1695] HMV MEP | Look At Me
- [drewaconclusion] Snow Blower
- [Innocent Key] Josei no Qualia ~Subterranean rose~
- [liXus tRiip] Ecchi Paradise 4
For anyone that uses pixeldrain, that site has been cracking down on content with nudity.
We still have all the original Martoise videos that were in this archive locally, and the videos are up on the site for streaming under the creator "Martoise":
Q: "Where the fuck is the hmvmania faggot finding videos in original source?"
A: In the places that are constantly DMCA'd in your community.
Anytime we want to provide the original somewhere else, it gets taken down. Bastati's FH tutorial, Martoise, NTRfella, etc.
We've updated the base release schedule in January. It's mostly the same as before, except that the last 10 days are now planned and a few extra releases will come out.
matencc86 also had 3 updated videos.
January 5 - 31 2023 base release schedule updated view attached.
With respect to a Martoise and NTRfella archive, we're having some internal discussions about an alternative on-site solution. We'll compare codecs to see how we can retain the best quality with the best result for downloading for this use case.
The server sync finished in the morning, although the backend dev said some work related things came up. This will postpone the work to Tuesday at earliest, although we'll be doing daily check-ins and pressing on it.
We have the base release for the returning week (see picture).
We're still getting videos to put into a backlog for when the server situation gets resolved. As of right now there are currently 44 videos we're waiting to add onto the site, and a few other creators have expressed interest.
With respect to the site currently not loading: the Site Owner's payment methods haven't been working well with our host. We'll need a day or two to sort things out.
Thanks to the person who provided us some missing Martoise videos! We've scheduled them over the next 5 days.
- 12/10/2023 [Martoise] DEPTH X (beatbar)
- 12/11/2023 [Martoise] 03. Me & You
- 12/12/2023 [Martoise] 4U
- 12/13/2023 [Martoise] ONLY
- 12/14/2023 [Martoise] (3D) WWMix
We have a spreadsheet for initial video release planning:
This will help guide what uploads will happen as the base release when the server situation gets resolved.
The queue is subject to change -- some videos might move around based on new content.
There was enough interest for a discord community. This should make communication easier for people that want to provide feedback and suggest HMVs.
You can access it here:
Note it is text only. No media is allowed for safety reasons.
We have a new site mascot for the upcoming 3 year milestone (May 23rd)! Big thanks to
@ha_yx
for the art, and we have an updated site trailer along with a site update.
Update on the site coming back up: our host mentioned there was a technical issue with the legacy server and they're performing some upgrades -- it's 90% done from the most recent update.
Attached is the base release schedule for August 1 - 14.
For the base releases in July, July 16 - 25 are Hentype releases and July 26 - 31 are Ashton releases.
Legacy server sync was at 62% 3 hours ago. Transfer was slower than expected, but we're still looking at the site coming back up some time Monday.
Releases should continue on Monday or Tuesday. Depends on when the work finishes.
All videos under Martoise are now AV1 mp4 encodes. This also replaces the previous mkv downloads, so the archive is now effectively the individual download for each video.
In total, it's around 7 GB. See the forum thread for more details on each video:
We've updated the base release for the timeline of July 26th - August 10th to account for a series of Albinohawk videos alongside the Ashton and Sage releases. See attached picture.
We updated the HMV Makers List. It now has 487 listed creators.
The main page now lists all categories by default: HMV, AMV, and 3D. The left sidebar menu provides individual category links if you want to go by 2D only or 3D only.
There will not be any new content uploads or user accounts created during this three day time period. This is to allow users to still watch the catalog of 1,688 videos currently up for a few days as the new server allows. We'll still be around monitoring site health.
We ended up working out something with two shorter HMVs for March 19th and 21st for two new creators for the site.
19th - [Dreamlab] Project Waifu: Ilulu
21st - [LeKanto] Too Hot To Handle
After this, we're on a content freeze.
The site is back up! A big shoutout to the backend team for a quicker turnaround than expected.
Three new HMVs were released for tonight.
- [AnonRemastered] Alliteration Round 9
- [AnoanHMV] Elves are for Lewd IX
- [HarrisZERO117556] YARIMOKU BEACH NI SHUUGAKURYOKOU DE
Attached is the base release schedule for September 1 - 14.
We're running a bit behind where we want to be, although in the near future we plan on writing up a blog post about some updates related to the site.
Some more testing we did on spankbang:
- Virginia and New York IP address redirects to spankbanglive. Including VPNs.
- Toronto, Canada IP address accesses spankbang normally.
Seems like specific regions detected result in an automatic redirect.
We've written up an April 7th update with more advancements on going back to the legacy server. You can read more here:
The site's main page is also updated. If all goes well, we hope to continue releases on Monday April 10th. We'll keep you updated.
After another round of discussions, we've agreed to put the site out of maintenance mode starting this morning. Based on site metrics, we may be fine until April 26th.
The backend dev mentioned having a rough week last week. We'll continue finding a timeline for that work.
