I usually download anime since if I stream it, my device would usually die a whole lot faster. I do have a computer, but I just use it on my online classes and such or mostly on gaming.



I hope no one I know irl sees my secret account~

Anyways, do I look cute in this outfit?~

Download since if you streaming it, there might a chance of buffering because of slow internet/wifi speed and constant ad show up in screen which can be very annoying. Plus by download, you can keep it and rewatch it as many times as you can. And trash it if I don't like it later.

downloading is better for complete series. you can simply download a whole thing at once and in better quality. but for ongoing series streaming seems easier

It ain't only about the resolution. It's also about the RIP quality, audio quality, and on top of that... All my homies hate hardsub.

Fuck Netflix, Amazon, Funimation and Crunchyroll
they don't deserve my money as they ignore fans and most
of the times they take all the money in, so i download now
cancelled my all subscription and honestly buying merch is better way to
support the creators.

I steam most of my anime and only download those that I know I'll be re-watching. Streamin is far easier since I can watch the episode immediately without waiting for it to download and it doesn't take up space on my laptop.

Download because the streaming sites are extremely slow most of the time, countless number of players all with different interfaces, ads, popups, hardcoded subs so I can't take clean screenshots, or just turn subs off completely because I know enough Japanese to not need it, except for shows with lots of hard vocab. Also the widely varying quality 1080p is rare, mostly 480p shit, with sometimes 32 kbps or worse audio... . I have plenty of storage and fast internet, download an entire season in a few minutes. If you don't have much storage you can download 720p which are 50-100mb/ep and the quality is still better than most streams. I don't understand how can people settle with streaming.
1080p hevc is just 400-500mb/ep and looks just as good as the blurays.

Anime in good HD quality.


If there is not streaming with this quality, so torrenting is the way.



Btw, i watch anime in my OLED 8k TV in the living room. Quality is the most important.

Download.
I just prefer my anime on at least 720p resolution without any buffering moments. Lucky me, I got 2 500gb external HDD.

But I stream my anime too sometimes. I stream only when the show is a long-running series, or when I'm hanging out with my friend and know the show would be 6/10 at best. Why did I watch that? Just to kill some time.

Download. People say that they don't like downloading anime because it takes long to wait to watch another episode, but I will download anime while watching other anime or just using the Internet. I think downloading is better because you can watch it easier and on more devices and you can watch anime when the Internet is out, and there's no buffering.

I tend to stream it because I have decent WiFi most of the time and I'm really impatient when it comes to downloading times. I don't tend to have problems with buffering either and there isn't much point downloading for the sake of it.
