NyaaTorrents (Translated Anime) with remakes filtered out:

My reworked feed that combines both the above NyaaTorrents feed and AnimeSuki, tries to correctly set season numbers and consistently format resolutions, 8/10 bit etc in titles to make it easier to parse in torrent clients:

In most cases I can work out the season but it sometimes gets it wrong and I need to put in an override e.g. "Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S" is season 2. I try to find all of these each season but I'm likely to miss some (e.g. just realised I haven't done "The World God Only Knows - Goddesses Arc" -> season 3 since I don't watch the show - I'll have to fix that).
