| 90% of MAL's traffic is from phones, and only 10% from PCs, which I find crazy. I only use my phone as an alarm clock and to call my favorite pizzeria. Since people prefer to browse the internet with phones, do they also watch anime on their phones? What device do you mostly use to watch anime: phone, PC or a TV? Laptop = vote for PC Tablet = vote for phone |

| "What screen do you watch anime on?" 42" TV screen. |
 |
| I watch anime on my computer monitor. |
| i watch mostly on my PC monitor sometimes i'm just too lazy and watch sol shows on my phone while lying on the bed |
| Mostly PC monitor, sometimes TV (55"), occasionally tablet. Never phone. |
| Well I watch it via Crunchyroll on a Fire Stick on pretty big TV that's a lil dum dum. :( |
| Mostly TV. Nothing beats the couch. |

| PC connected to TV is how I roll. That's how I'm typing this message right now. Sitting at a desk to play games or watch anime sounds awful. oh btw, you phone people? yeah... you're ruining everything. Please go away. |
 |
| Mostly on my PC, also watching it ocasionally on a TV (netflix) or my phone |
| PC gaming monitor screen. I also barely use the cellphone, the statistic about 90% of MAL traffic coming from those abominable devices surprises me. |

| I don't even own a smartphone from which to access the internet and never have done so (no plans to either). And unless I bought and hooked up some fancy equipment to connect my computer to my TV so that whatever is displayed on my computer monitor can be displayed on my TV monitor, I would only normally be able to watch regular TV broadcast programming on my TV, which, for anime, would be just the few available series dubbed into American English which I'm not interested in. Therefore I watch it exclusively on my laptop computer, on which I keep running Windows 7 and typically access it, this website, and various other things on the internet by way of a Firefox browser (also have Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Tor for different purposes when and as needed). I do have a few anime films on burned DVDs, which of course I could also watch on the computer whenever using since it has a disc tray and drive, but also could and would be more likely to watch on the TV my DVD player is hooked up to in that case. I rarely access MAL by anything other than my laptop computer and the only times not would be when my computer is in the repair shop and I use a secondary older desktop computer. |
| Laptop primarily. Used to use a tablet before I had a laptop. Use phone to watch anime at university or when I am feeling lazy. Watch on TV very rarely when I have to watch a movie. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| Pretty much on PC monitor screen as TV screen is for if I''m at a friend's place and such. |
| Mostly on my laptop. I'll occasionally hook that up to the TV when I'm watching with someone else. |
 |
| You call a pizzeria? What is this, the 90s? And I'm in the same boat, phone is for alarms, phone calls and 2FA. I mainly use my TV, even though it's attached to a PC. Rarely on a computer screen if I watch it alongside doing something else on the other screen. |
| i cast whatever I am watching on my laptop to my television with google chromecast. So anything I am watching on my laptop screen I can watch on my television without having to plug in any cords and can still use my computer for things. |

delirific said: You call a pizzeria? What is this, the 90s? And I'm in the same boat, phone is for alarms, phone calls and 2FA. Yeah, ordering through a 3rd party app is more expensive over here than ordering directly through a phone call. |
| Phone, Tablet, and TV. Phone whenever I'm not home such as school or other activities, TV is when I watch anime at night, and my tablet is during the day when I'm home and not playing games. |

| Mostly on TV, though sometimes on PC when I'm watching while eating or tired. |
 |
| I've never watched any anime on my phone -- everything's either on my PC monitor or TV. Though I do find it funny that anime viewers who complain about issues with apps on legal streaming sites are perfectly willing to directly connect their PC/laptop to their TVs to use illegal streaming sites that have no apps at all. |
| At first I used to watch anime on the big TV in the living room but later I learned that not every show is compatible with people walking in and seeing what's on the big screen lol I moved to my PC then If I wanna get like cozy in my bed under the covers I'll watch it on my phone tho I go on Mal on my phone when on the move or on the shitter (literally rn I'm pooping and posting this) and on my PC when yeah I'm on my PC |
 |
| I used my PC monitor for a long time, but I just got a new 65" TV in December and started hooking my PC up to that to watch anime instead. |
| I chromecast my phone to watch on my TV. |
| Mostly on TV (32' inches, +50' is worse), sometimes on PC Monitor (27' inches) and rarely in Tablet (8' inches). Never on my phone, very small. |

| Unfortunately my TV doesn't know how to handle subtitle files natively so I can only play hardcoded subs. It also is a hassle to find the USB port on my TV so it's very rare I use the TV to watch anime. Originally I was watching with my laptop and desktop but lately only phones and my tablet because that is easiest to access and walk around with and my laptop isnt that much bigger and also has hard drive issues and my desktop isn't really mine and not where i can use it often. I think people using MAL on their phones are doing so because they are probably updating their list while the show is still playing on another monitor. Using a separate device is more convenient sometimes for scenarios like that. |

| 99% of the time laptop laptop is versatile, phone screen is way too small for reading subs. i have pc too, but I've gotten so used to laptops, that watching shows on big screen like that feels weird |
 |
| I watch anime nearly exclusively on my 32" TV which doubles as my PC monitor. I voted for TV. When I visit my parents I watch on my laptop. Never phone. |
  |
| Mainly phone since I have an app on my phone for anime and Netflix. I’ve watched shows on my laptop for that insane quality and even my tv sometimes too . Matter of how I’m feeling . |
| PC most of the time. Browsing the internet is so much better on PCs and the screen is so much bigger. |
 |
| I use my TV with either my laptop connected to it or my PS2 for DVDs. Using a TV just feels like a way better experience for me when watching anime. |
| Usually on PC but if I own a DVD of something older, I watch it on my Sony CRT TV. I feel like it's the best way to watch anything in 4:3. |
| I use the TV via PS4, Switch, Chromecast and I've even used my Emuelec Console (not very enjoyable viewing). No to laptop, as I'd have to have it plugged in constantly, as either the battery or the battery life sensors are majorly wrong with it. No to phone also, although I have watched Anime on phones in the past, just not anymore. |
 |
| All 3 of them. It depends on what I am doing. |
| From most often to least often: PC monitor > Laptop monitor > TV with PS4 > Phone |
| on my phone 97% of the time. I barely watch on pc nowadays |
 |
| Tv for quality (burning in subtitles for blu ray dumps) and pc for streaming. |
| Back in the days, I used to watch anime either on my phone or on a TV screen, but nowadays, I'm using my laptop to watch something most of the time. It's still possible to watch anime either on my phone or TV. I'm currently watching YYH on my phone, because I have a VPN app on it, so I can watch YYH on Crunchyroll, just to have a better quality visually. If I'm watching anime on TV, it's because something interesting is being broadcasted. Mostly it's going to be shown on Pro7Maxx, a free TV broadcaster, which broadcasts interesting anime series from time to time, like Trigun, The Vision of Escaflowne and even Goblin Slayer II, when it was airing. So you were able to watch something with Japanese subs on German TV. |
| i like watching on my phone because that means i could watch anything anywhere, but i mostly like watching on my computer because my eyesight is very poor. i can also do other things while watching on my computer so that is a plus. |
| For the most part, TV if I'm seeing anything on physical formats (DVD or Blu-Ray) and laptop if I'm streaming or downloaded anything. |
| All of them but my preferences are: Pc monitor > laptop > phone TV is actually the best but it's in the living room and I don't have one myself, so yeah only when nobody's home I can safely watch anime on the TV. |
| I wanna lie down while watching also I want to keep my privacy(not allowing anyone else to see what I'm watching). Phone is probably the only one that meets the criteria without modifying anything in my house. I sometimes watch in the PC. depends on what I'm watching |
