| i guess i stream illegally... well i've done that even before i started watching anime... so thumbs up for streaming!:D |
| I add them to the queue.. and click START DOWNLOAD QUEUE. hahaha. or I click GET THIS TORRENT. then choose directory and click OK. MUWAHAHA |
| Following Ritsu's idea, I'd say something along the lines of.. 70% Downloaded (Torrents) 15% Streamed Legally (Crunchyroll, Netflix, etc.) 10% Streamed Illegally 5% Bought Most stuff I stream legally is usually stuff I've already seen from titles I've downloaded, so I count them as downloaded, but I have seen a bit of titles I haven't downloaded from them. I rarely stream illegally anymore compared to when I first started watching anime, most streams are usually just when I'm trying to find a scene or for hentai. I only have like 4 TV series and like 5 movies in my actual purchased library. Only recently started bothering to buy. |

 |
| I legally stream and buy shows I really like if they are available or are a bargain. I once in a while illegally stream but that always makes me feel bad. |
N☆  |
| I used to stream, but then I took an arrow in the knee. |
 |
| Mixture of all three. |
 |
| Download Stuff I really like and, watch on streams. If I like the english version I will purchase the DvD but, only for stuff I really like. For the most part I watch subs so I don't see why I would pay for something I don't even get in my original language ._. |
| Legally stream if I can, so I put that, but I'll be the first to say that I'm a terribly selfish person, because I won't not watch a show I want to watch just because it isn't streaming on a "legal" site. I don't buy because I don't have a job and I receive no income on my own. |
 |
| Like OriginAnime said, stream most anime and then buy manga. If I really enjoy the anime, I will buy the DVD to support the producers and have the DVD to provide to friends and maybe future me's :D |
| I download the anime but I buy the manga, because in my opinion reading manga online is boring but the only one I read online is naruto because it's very long and the german translation is pretty bad xD |

| It depends, if something I want to watch can be streamed legally (for free or on netflix) then I'll watch it there. If I cant, then Ill find a free stream or download it. I do want to start buying some of my favorite series and some of the more popular one's, for instance I want to watch Bacano! but I figure Ill buy it since its supposed to be so Godly, also the same story with Cowboy Bebop. |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |

| i stream almost all because it is the fastest, but i have started buying DVDs of my favorites because if all anyone ever did was stream then they would stop dubbing shows and even subs and no one wants that also is there really a difference between legal stream and stream. whats the difference between paying netflix, or watching somewhere else like animefreak (even a "illegal" stream had to buy some type of DVD or bluray |
| All of the above. I buy/check out books from the library and I'll buy anime I REALLY like. Mainly movies. |

Recca47 said: I originally use to trade anime through P2P, but now I stream almost everything. The qualities on streams aren't that bad and it works perfectly for having a 9-6 job. I just don't have the time to download and I don't leave torrents during the day because the electricity bill can become killer. yeah the only difference between you and me its that i watch anime in my job hahahaha 8 hours straight of anime every day ( or games to like to play rpgs XD) |
|
| I prefer to buy it, or borrow it from someone I know. |
| I'm a bit of a hypocrite here: I download all of my anime, but I buy all of my manga. My somewhat convoluted reasoning behind this is that manga companies seem to be hurt far more by scanlating than sudios are by downloading. peace |

fantomu said: I used to stream, but then I took an arrow in the knee. Fus Ro Dah. I stream what little Netflix has to offer, I download for the rest. Sometimes I find some shows that are worth a purchase, If they are out in the US. >_> If the CrunchyRoll App hadn't sucked I probably would have subscribed to that. |
| anime = download manga = online reader |

| If it's not free, it's not for me. Luckily everything is free through the genius inventions of Bakabt and The Pirate Bay. |
| I download most of my anime but then I do buy the DVD's of ones that I really like. For example, Cowboy Bebop the movie was one that I bought on DVD after torrenting the movie. I feel like there is a novelty to having the hard copy of a book, music album, or movie. As much as I like just having it on my computer (saves space) nothing really beats the feeling of owning the hard copy. Also, if an anime is good theres no reason not to buy it. Think of it as gratitude to the creators for making such an excellent show. |

| I stream, but i was wondering where do you download from? |
sapsdc said: I stream, but i was wondering where do you download from? easy just download utorrent and download anime at piratebay you download them in there HD and with subs or however you want them lol |
|
| Wheres the 'all' option? |

| Everyone bitches about low budgets but doesn't want to support the business by buying their dvds. Its a cycle that gonna be the death of anime in the future. Me, I have a collection worth near $20,000 dollars and I subscribe to Funimation, Crunchyroll and Anime Network. Not trying to be a preacher, but I don't want the fun to stop, and I'll do everything in my power as a fan to keep it going. |
| I stream everything lol |
| Download and Stream lol |
