| no, in my country i cant watch/buy, and to buy from other countries, i dont have the money so no and that would be sad |
| No, the only anime I could get in my country would be shonens like Naruto... So yeah, I'd pretty much stop watching anime for ever. |

I don't know what country you live in, but if it's an EU one, you should keep on your politicians about it, some of them are calling for the abolition of region blocking. Now that Netflix is on the same page, you might see it happen, although Hollywood will fight it tooth and nail (I have no idea how this will play out with anime). Luckily (not so much, really) I'm from Argentina. |

| Maybe no, unless they serve some hq mini-encoded video, because of this quota limited internet. Daisuki: 480p 300MB~ CR: 480p 150MB~ SomeEncoded10bitEncodedAnime: 720p: 110MB~ 480p: 60MB~ *edit: Hei, thanks for the list, though the only one work is Daisuki for now, and some old stuff... |

| No I wouldn't .... My opinion of Crunchyroll subs are very low , and being a person who refuses to watch modern Anime in anything lower than 720p (I don't mind old anime in 480p). As well as the outrageous prices for Blu-Ray's I will pass. I will then just continue going to the library and taking out books weekly and reading rather than breaking the bank. ($60 per anime Blu-ray and some Anime with Blu-ray sets of $100) it get's much too expensive to justify it's costs. |
| I'd probably stop, I live on streaming anime. |

| No because it just a fucking cartoons. |

| Well for me the reason for using illegal ways to watch/download my anime, read my manga and get my games is because it's the easiest way. In order to watch on crunchyroll/funimation i'd have to log in if i'm not using my own pc where i'm automatically logged in if it's unavailable to non-members and get myself a better job and go through the whole bother of making online payments for subscriptions for the premium only material, go to the right anime, go to the anime i want to watch and then the right episode.After that i can start watching. And in the end i'd have average subs because translators of those site get paid so they have minimum standards but it's their job so they usually do their job well enough to make it the subs more or less match the dialogue, nothing more nothing less. Now take for comparison kissanime where i usually watch my anime illegally: instead of logging in in places with the increased risk of being hacked if watching in public places ( durig breaktimes at school/work for example ) i only have to tell my addblocker to exclude kissanime because the videos won't work if you don't allow them the income they need to keep site up and running, and i can start watching, no hassle with making sure pc doesn't remember my password when i'm not at home and having to log in every single time, no subscription fees, nothing more then going to the right anime and telling addblock to let the site of the hook if i haven't watched on the pc before. Added advantage is that the subs are either horriblesubs in which case i have average subs as soon as they become avaible ( except for first eps of something funimation subs, then it's often waiting for ages because funimation is being a douche releasing subs of first episodes a while after it starts airing on purpose ) or professional fansubs which usually mean more dedicated subs instead of the "ah close enough" subs of official translators. So yes if all illegal sources where to be taken down official sites would become the easiest, but luckily torrents are so deeply rooted into the internet i doubt i'll ever have to go through the hassle of paying subscription fees for just average quality subs |

| I want to support my favorite shows. But I don't have money. So no I wouldn't watch anime unless its on crunchyroll. |
| No idea, but it would be a hard thing to do, since there are no anime being published in my country... But I would definitely keep on buying manga. |
  |
Scud said: I only watch it because it's free. |
| I actually have no idea.Probably would stop idk. |
 |
| I really hope I could. Believe me, I would LOVE to pay for the poor studios for watching their art and to support them make more, but my financial situation does not allow me to do that. When I go to cons I always try to buy some manga, figures, posters and other stuff from the series I love to support them, but I can't afford doing that more than couple times a year. Someday I hope the things will be better and I will start using the streaming sites and other more expensive ways. |
| I live in a developed country where you can still buy 1$ copies of anything anywhere. So yeah I'd still be pArghhhh-t of the pirate world. |
| End Zionazism |
| No. Anime is not worth my money. |
| Of course! There are legal sites that are free and I don't mind supporting the industry if there's a show I really want to watch and it's affordable. notsomacho said: Absolutely not fuck supporting the creators. If they wanted support they'd make better shit Let me get this straight: You watch a lot of anime but it's still shit? Why do you watch it then if you don't like it? XD |
| Feel free to message me if you want to chat! What I Look For In Anime: 1. A good atmosphere. 2. Great music. 3. Well-written characters. 4. Actual entertainment. 5. Awesome visuals. |
| I'd continue to watch it. I've been collecting anime dvds/blurays for a long time already and don't see myself stopping. Just got in Noragami on bluray this week and am enjoying the hell out of it. The amount of freeloaders is ridiculous though, but at least they're honest lol. |
| Hell nah I'm not wastin my money on anime. |
| No. |
| Probably not |
| True fans will support the industry, its like wanting your favorite singer to make more albums, but you don't want to buy their cds/songs to fund their music |
jengjeng26 said: True fans will support the industry, its like wanting your favorite singer to make more albums, but you don't want to buy their cds/songs to fund their music Well I guess I'm not a true fan then since I'm not spending any money on this especially since I don't have any money. |
| Again,i can't buy anime if the websites or torrents are gone but i sure will buy my hentai.I can't live without that shit.I'll do anything,i'll become a male prostitute to get money but i will but dat hentai. |

There will always be free anime on cartoon network, toonami. Or you could borrow dvds from a friend. |
| For me, I would still watch, but I would not pay. I would watch free streams. But I would also have about 20 years worth of anime on my HDD, so it would not be a problem. |
 |
| 90% of my anime viewing is legal now so yes. Besides, most of the anime streaming services allow you to watch anime for free, you just have to wait a few days/weeks after it has aired in Japan to watch it. For people in other countries, use a VPN. |

| Yes, as more than half of the anime I currently watch is currently from legal streaming sites. It's very unlikely that I would buy individual anime as that can be ridiculously expensive, but $20 for a full season's worth of 20 to 30 anime in addition to some hundred other anime is affordable. |
| Insert philosophical quote or exceptional picture here. |
| There's still anime on cable and Daisuki for my anime fix. Too bad even paid anime sites have shitty subs. I always wonder, "Do these people actually pay for this?" |
 |
| I still got Crunchyroll, but the sad thing is no classics are hardly available on legal streaming services and when we got one dedicated to them (AnimeSol) it was so under advertised they shut it down. Also there are a couple series that do not get legal streams every season. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| I'll lean Japanese then move to Japan to watch them for free on TV. |
 |
| I'll watch whatever's available on legal streaming sites, but I won't buy anime. I'm cheap. |
-_- |
| I'll pay whatever price to watch. |
 |
| I probably would, since I was watching it through Hulu until recently. |
| I think the word you're looking for is "legitimate/illegitimate" or (more dubiously) "ethical/unethical", since legality varies from country to country. Making certain sources illegal in one country doesn't mean they are in another. That is, shutting down sources based in certain countries is rather unlikely even if it did become illegal (and was enforced) in your own country. Nitpicking aside, if legitimate sources were the only sources available, yes, I'd probably still watch anime. There's a lot available on legit streaming sites. It would be sad to lose all of the series that aren't officially licensed for overseas release, though. |
