| I watch most if not all my anime at 480p cause my fucking internet is garbo and it buffers every sec at 720p but sometimes it don't do dat and I watch at 720 and there's really not that much a difference from me except it's less pixely. Although there is this one case with Noragami in which I can't remember if it was 360p or 480p but the anime was literally just fucking pixels still had to watch it like dat tho cause it wouldn't even go past 1 sec in 720p. |

| I watch most anime series at 480p too xd Ppl don't like it because the quality is low af lel, like they can just go to 720p or 1180p. Only ppl like me and u with slow pc or smth watch anime in 480p hehe It's annoying if it keeps buffering and lowering quality prevents that most of the time :3 |
| There is a noticeable difference in quality between 480p and 720p (it seems to be less noticeable from 720p to 1080p), so naturally people would prefer one before the other. If it's the only copy available and they really want to watch the anime I doubt they'd be picky, but if there's a better quality one and they have a good internet connection, it seems reasonable to choose the better one. Also, why is your avatar so perfect for this thread |
| Do people need a reason to prefer something with more quality? |

| Probably because it looks better, and their Internet supports it. |
| For the same reason people these days don't like listening to their music in Discmans. |
| I watch most of my anime at 360p lol ................. |

| Well sometimes for old animes you don't have the choice so you do with it, otherwise... Do people need a reason to prefer something with more quality? |

| Men of culture watch always with 144p quality. 480p is too high |
mhkr said: Men of culture watch always with 144p quality. 480p is too high True, otherwise you could almost see what's happening on screen. |
| You could get stuff on PAL VHS with a higher resolution than 480p, man. I prefer to watch stuff in a format that doesn't make my eyes bleed, unless it was never released/remastered into anything higher than 480p. Can't do anything about garbage internet though :( But hey, at least you still get to watch stuff. Garbage internet > no internet. |

| kids nowadays care more about "p" than story and characters :( |
 |
| They do not like it? And how do they do it with the old animes that never came out at 720p? 480p is fine. bad would be 144p you could not even see the subtitles. |
| I would say that it depends on your screen size tho , 480p looks pretty bad on my pc monitor but looks ok on my smartphone . |

That's why you download whatever you want to watch, in whatever quality you want to watch it, that way you only need to wait for it to complete downloading and you will have no buffer. The only right thing to do out there. Also let's just have a look at the last One Piece episode from HS and how many people snatched the 1080p, 720p and 480p encode: 4195, 4418 and 3241, respectively. Minerbit said: They do not like it?

You will always see the subtitles, no matter the resolution, you might have to make it bigger than its native resolution once it starts to go into resolutions sub 360p. |

If the subtitles are embedded, they will not be seen with a resolution of 144p. I say it because it happens to me with youtube. Otherwise, if they are not embedded, they will look regardless of the quality. |
| Depends on your monitor/tv/device where you watch your videos. That will determinate the importance of that. That's the reason there are the ones who love 720 because the resolution of the device is adapted very well with that resolution. There are cases that 480 is very low to major devices. In my case I can be very well with 480 because my device is very basic and old. That's the reason they still exist and the new resolutions. I have a decent PC but my monitor is old and 480 will be good, even so 720 is even better. I have another device that it is better major resolutions because of pixels of low resolutions, so it depends on your display device. Maybe you have a device that can adapt well to 480 too. |

| Maybe they want to watch it at a better quality, it looks nicer like that |
 |
| If it's a anime that was made before 720p was a thing, I can perfectly watch it at 480p. |
| Because i don't want to limit myself to watch something at low rez? |

I barely have enough for a couple of animes. So for low quality anime below 720p I choose YouTube XD. and the truth is not so bad. |
| you get no respect from me if you watch anything below 720p. And even the 720p on most streaming sites that you casuals use is terrible |

Are you that inhibited to think of that resolution? You never need more storage than for that one Anime anyways. Just stick to one, and download the next one once you are done with your current one. Starting 200 Anime at once is a really bad idea, especially storage wise. shayed__ said: you get no respect from me if you watch anything below 720p.

VladimirNabokov said: no not really they rip from normal streaming sites like crunchyroll which offer a good quality. The problem is that their encode is trash or the streaming hosts for example openload don't allow for bigger size files or they just compress it weirdly.Minerbit said: You know that not all people can afford a 2-8 TB hard drive to save the anime of 1.5 GB per episode.

| I remember watching Bleach at 360, but now I have fast internet and hdd space, so I download 720. I love watching bouncing titties in hq. |

shayed__ said: no not really they rip from normal streaming sites like crunchyroll which offer a good quality. The problem is that their encode is trash or the streaming hosts for example openload don't allow for bigger size files or they just compress it weirdly. It depends on each series. CR rips ain't the best either. Usually better to just wait for BD encodes. And yeah, since streaming sites usually re-encode or transcode web rips to save storage or to make them hardsubbed. You have a noticeable loss of quality either way. |

| 'Cause newer anime fans that are spoiled by HD resolutions and 16:9. Little thing called bit rate for the uninitiated. 480p can look good on a 1080 screen if the bit rate is good enough. |
 |
| I download most of What I watch Because My Internet is also Garbage. I prefer Waiting To watch Something than watching a Pixelly or Laggy version of It. Anime is a Visual Medium So I prefer that the Quality is High (At least 720p). Edit. If the Shoiw is Old I prefer it being in 4:3 since it gives it that classic feel. Also That way You get the Full experience instead of Having it Akwardly Cropped to be 16:9. |

Starting 200 Anime at once is a really bad idea, especially storage wise. I used to do it. The problem is that they take a long time to download, so I could not see the chapters at the pace I wanted. That's why I do not do it so often. So I usually download them at 720p. With an Internet of 100 kb/s to download in BD 1080P is complicated. |
| Because the quality difference is really noticeable between 480p and higher, and my net is good enough to where I can easily watch and dl stuff at higher qualities. |

Anyways you're right. |
| I watch everything in the highest available quality. I don't really care about it though, I mean when I like a show thats only available in 480p Im going to watch it in 480p. |

I'm guessing you are watching anime on your phone? if that is the case 480p is alright. I'm shock that persons still have such slow internet. |

The main problem would probably be that people just aren't used to it. Though(if it's available) higher quality is better. |
 |
| I do!... when I find myself watching on a shitty mobile device that struggles to decode anything higher than 640x480. |
| If 480 was the highest resolution that came out for that anime I would gladly watch it in 480. But if it was released in 1080, anything less than 720 I will not watch. |
| 480p is an outdated quality beyond 2010s. So I rather watch something at 720p/1080p/hd remastered. If it's not available in that quality then I'll watch it regardless. |
