| Also don't forget to mention most suitable aspect ratio in your opinion. Basically tell me in what video quality are anime meant to be watched? |

| 1080p and 720p are obviously good, but I don't mind if it's lower. Some older anime aren't available in high resolution anyway. |

| Not sure what "objective resolution" is supposed to mean. |
*kappa* |
36p, 4 frames per second, 20 kbps. No substitutes. |
 |
| 1080 and 720, but of course a lot of older anime look good in 480 and even 360 [like 1st Saint Seiya], so it depends, I guess whenever I look up subs for random older shows I just get used to the resolution I find it in, cuz It's always in 720, yeah but anything older below 360 is a no XD, from the new ones anything below 720 is also a no. |

| @Daviljoe193 I think I can watch that in my nokia. |

| The real resolution of most modern anime is around 900p, then they're upscaled to 1080p. EDIT: the most suitable resolution to watch anime is thus 1080p, since 720p would be a downgrade. |

| as a big fan of escapism, i often watch anime in 360p/480p just to feel happy again |
   |
| That would be the resolution of all time. |
  |
| Idk higher resolutions are almost always better, but I won't skip a show just cause it's in 720p |
| Well, the frames are drawn at a different resolution, from what I’ve seen (something like 1630 x 920 or something) and then scaled up to 1080p in AE (content-preserving upscale). |
 |
| Some of you clearly never watched a show in 240p with each chapter divided in eight parts on Youtube. |
 |
| I've watched stuff across the spectrum, if there is a high quality blu ray source it is my preference to watch it at 1080p quality. |
Sometimes it takes a real man to be best girl. Gilgamesh is also chad.   |
| Honestly I prefer everything in 1080p but if it's not available I'll take what I can get. Some older anime is very hard to find beyond 360p. |

| @Zarutaku @therealnagora okay I'll try to reword it: What video resolution/quality is most suitable for the anime medium? |

| @Zarutaku Video resolution refers to the number of pixels in a video frame, which determines how clear and detailed the video is. The more pixels, the higher the resolution. Common video resolutions: 480p: Standard definition (SD) resolution 720p: High definition (HD) resolution 1080p: Full HD resolution 1440p: Quad HD (2K) resolution 2160p: 4K resolution 3840x2160: 4K resolution 7680x4320: 8K resolution Aspect ratios Video resolution is often measured in a standard aspect ratio, such as 16:9 for computer monitors and TVs. Other common aspect ratios include 9:16 (vertical) and 1:1 (square). Video quality Higher resolution videos look better on larger screens, while lower resolution videos are usually fine for smaller screens. Video use cases For YouTube, the recommended resolution is 1920 x 1080 pixels (full HD). For more detailed projects, such as video trailers, 4K or 8K may be used. |

| @LenRea Like I said, the most suitable resolution is the same as the max. resolution of your screen. You can still watch at lower resolution, but that's less suitable because of decreased sharpness. You can also watch at higher resolution, but that's pointless because of downscaling. |

| 720p is acceptable for some series, but that's as low as I'm willing to go. 480p just doesn't cut it for me anymore. |
"Nobody could laugh at someone who's trying their hardest" -Machio- |
| In general, 1080p is fine on my monitor and TV. I still haven't made the jump to 4K after all those years, anime or otherwise. I don't really see that much added benefit. If it's an older anime, like pre-2005, lower than 1080p is fine. I think these anime were made to look good on blurry CRT TVs... But 360p might be a little too low. No preference on aspect ratios. I don't think many anime make a conscious decision on aspect ratios anyway. Not sure why Shoushimin Series from last year intentionally picked a wider aspect ratio, but pretty soon I wasn't really noticing it. |
| 240p >:D Frankly, I've heard that lower resolutions in video streams actually look worse on newer displays due them having more pixels than older ones. Haven't tested this hypothesis before, but it'd be quite ironic. In any case, I'll take what I can get, and I'm satisfied even with 720p. Given a choice, 1080p is a decent enough choice, a compromise between resolution and file size. Because I don't want things to be absolutely giant filesizes. |

| 35mm film on a projector is the only correct answer. |

720p is the most optimal for me. Below that the visual isn't that enjoyable. Above that is a waste of time and space. |

| I would say 1080p is the best resolution for watching anime. |

| I think that 720p is good enough for majority of anime. 1080p is worth it if animation has lot of detail, but there is no point in higher resolution than that. 480p is still watchable, but lower resolution than that looks bad. |
| For digital productions, whatever the original resolution/FPS/aspect ratio were is optimal. I find the artifacting introduced in upscaling from 480p or 720p annoying. Even 1080p upscaled by my AV system to 2k or 4k can look pretty or pretty wonkly. Don't know why, but things aren't consistent from one title to another. Most everything produced before 2000 was originally done for CRT TVs so they were 480i. 30 FPS 4:3 Back in the day you could download 240p remastered from pirate sites that varied greatly in quality on a comptuer monitor, most of wihich were 1024x768. Most of them were pretty wonkly though. You have no idea what true pain is until you've watched fansubs on a CGA CRT. |

| whatever the highest quality available. if an anime was made in 4k, it should be watched in 4k. |
| If possible, 1080. Lots of other anime don't have that, so 720 would be a good second option. I know there are old anime which can only be found on 480 or 360, but their image is often blurry, so those resolutions are not the most suitable option which OP asked for. |
