how do YOU watch anime?

well i just read sindalf's way of watching anime and a thread that asked where to watch streams.... so guys, what do you usually do?

i usually do both in most things, but when internet is being a bitch, i torrent.

JUST WATCH.

Well I have DVD collection a crap load of ever major Anime title before 2005 or so!

Lately I'm a cheap baster not really I mean I still have to pay for internet and Netflix were was I going oh okay

I stream now from varies websites Funimation YouTube GoGoAnime ect.
from my computer sometimes from my PS3.

Never downloaded before except hentia of course ^_^

Torrents, Fansub group site or sometimes DDL

I stream.

I didn't need Sindalf's instructions, I've always been doing that. I'm still surprised anyone would even think of using streams...

In relaxed position, pants around ankles. In all seriousness, depends on where I'm doing it at. On my computer I generally take frequent breaks etc. On the big screen, I am very attentive and usually have fresh water and whatnot along for the ride.

Torrents ftw.

>Sindalf's instructions
>DDL

Those are not part of my instructions. DDL is fucking stupid in 99% of cases.

Torrents from the subbers' sites(Mostly, can use a torrent database sometimes), if it's old and archived I use XDCC.

I watch my anime in a perfectly proper way, picking out the best subs, usually dling with torrents, without having to follow any faggot guide.

Direct download from megaupload. About 4 minutes to download an episode. Then, in my room, alone, sitting in front of my desktop.

Long live to MP4!

Fixed. ;)

Well, I'm kinda a stickler for quality, so I download via torrents then if I like the series, I keep it, plus I hate streaming video personally.

I watch them on sites that host them mostly. I dont have enough hard drive space to download all the animes i like. also if there is an anime i really liked though i will actually buy the series for my own collection.

Fixed. ;)

Ewww. Xvid. D: And what's up with the size on that file? -_-''

I'd say LQ

Probably. I'm assuming that 396 is part of the dimensions, which is obviously pretty low.

This guy must be trolling me cause everything in that picture is guaranteed to rage me.

First off SoF is a foreign fansub group and if you speak English which if you are here I am assuming you do then you should be watching Mazui. Secondly lets take a look at everything wrong in that file name. Xvid is FUCKING STUPID. It still boggles my mind that people still support that god awful shit. MP3 is also stupid as hell as you can just use aac audio which offers better quality at lower bitrates. I guess since they were hardsubbing (also dumb) they did a good job by using mp4 instead of avi which is also fucking stupid.

Going to top things off by saying this is probably the worst fansub group ever because THEY LABELED THE FILE NAME FUCKING WRONG.

Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 704x396 23.98fps [Video]
Audio: AAC 44100Hz mono 705Kbps [Audio]

The video is h264 not xvid which makes them even stupider than I would of thought. Naming a file is not freaking rocket science. Look they even used AAC audio except mono is wtf stupid as well. Why would you do that? It is beyond me.

LET'S TOP IT OFF THAT THEY USED FUCKING KARAOKE DURING THE FINAL SCENE WHICH TOTALLY KILLS THE MOOD. THE FONT SUCKS TOO. LET ME POINT OUT THAT IS TIMED WRONG AS WELL. KARAOKE IS FUCKING STUPID STOP DOING IT!

/end rage.

They also did karaoke during the "School anthem" like thing. Which again is fucking stupid.

Edit: Forgot to mention the resolution is fucking stupid as well but meh.

always DDL ...


sometimes buy the DVD ...
