| I have a premium Crunchyroll, Amazon Prime and Anime Strike, and Netflix. If it's not on any of those, then I shrug my shoulders and find it somewhere else. I buy a lot of anime merchandise, so I think I've played my part. |
| I'm a scumbag and watch illigally because I'm stingy. So even if there are legal ways I'll still watch illegally when they both basically offer the same thing except one is free and the other is not. Yes I'm a bad guy. And I like being a scumbag |
| Check out my epic? youtube channel yo! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtS2LcQwcqpHyQGXekGDGVA |
| Currently i'm watching them illegally, but as soon as i will get into uni and be able to pay online, i will immediately switch over to crunchyroll and other official sources. Uni should start in a month so there's only a month left til i go legal lol |
| I have never paid a cent for anything anime related. |
 |
| Both since Crunchyroll doesn't have animes I wan watch |
 |
| rather illegally free than to pay for censored anime on crunchyroll |
 |
| Legally whenever possible. I never want to go back to relying on fansubs ever again. |
| well i only watch legally now. if an anime is not available then i am passing on it.... not every show has to be seen by me anyway..... i feel much better now though since i started watching anime legally. i also used to pirate all my shit without feeling bad about it but i know feel very guilty whenever i try to pirate anime.... (for example i tried to pirate hxh but i just couldnt watch it any further cause i felt very very guilty) |
| Legally because it's only illegal when you pirate and distribute it. Personal use is perfectly legal where I live. |
| Wait. You guys are paying? If so then I'm doing it Illegally |
| Wouldn't mind buying my favorite Anime that I'm likely to re-watch now and then ONCE they decide to start selling BD releases digitally and with reasonable prices and sales. But only thing that is sold digitally are shitty CR TV-releases. Screw those. I rather buy games on steam on sales that last me for many hours and are digitally gathered. And somehow manage with my life essentials.. Only physical goods I buy from Japan are stuff I'm likely to use a lot. And gotten myself 1 Manga from gift card... since had to spend it. Also I have somewhere 1 DVD sitting in the corner I got from convention. But other than that I hate physical goods. They take space, get old, can be damaged. I prefer collecting stuff digitally. And once Japan decides to sell BD-quality releases digitally, I'll start buying my all-time-fav series on sales or full priced if prices are reasonable. I.E 26ep series being 20EU or so. If I would be some sort of rich man with own house and own storage room where money wouldn't be an issue. Then sure. Could buy physically with all the other premium comfort things. Though even with physical copy I would probably just copy the contents to PC as I post-process anyways with media players.. to improve quality and comfort even forther. So moral of the story.. even if money wouldn't be issue.. I still would hate physical gathering. |

| Totally illegaly, there's way more choice, it's easier to use and, of course, it's free. |
| I used to watch it legally until I finished all the ones on Netflix then I started watching them illegally lololololololol š¤ |
| Both. I have CR, Funimation, and Hulu. I almost always check those three places first before I go and try finding it illegally. So, for the most part, I watch legally, but if I can't find something, I go elsewhere. |
This thread is positively glowing. |
| Both. If I have access to the legal version I will always choose that. |
| have been watching on crunchyroll for sometime now, i couldn't really care for supporting this and that.. it was just more convenient. |
| TIME TO END PARTITION WITH A BANG. I AM ONCE AGAIN ASKING FOR YOUR FINACIAL SUPPROT https://www.sinnfeinbookshop.com/jewellery-1/ |
| WARNING! WARNING! Be careful what you say everyone, don't say anything indicting - you never no if there will be a way (for the Powers that be) to trace you back to your computer/internet source! Never confess to doing anything illegal :D |
| For the most part i use the easy and best option that is horriblesubs_Nyaa_torrent.mkv |
| I watch illegally, have been, am currently and will continue to. Even if I wasn't broke, I would still watch anime illegally, reason is because I already pay for Internet, so anything connected to it, I should have access to free of charge. |
 |
| anyone who thinks crunchyrolll's horrible business practices support the industry is delusional |
 |
| Illegally for the first time, and if I really love it I'll ask my parents to get it for me as a gift when we can afford it. Soon though, I'll get a job so I can buy anime/manga more frequently. |
currently: doing my best!  |
| Depends. Its a mix of legal and illegal. |

 |
| A mix, if I can get it legally then I always choose that but some manga and LNs I want to read don't have English releases and only fan translations. |
Sometimes it takes a real man to be best girl. Gilgamesh is also chad.   |
| Pretty much illegally, but there are times that are legal like an anime movie of interest coming to select theaters for a limited time. |
| There is nothing illegal about anime, there are other crimes that goes unnoticed like indirect murder or words or actions that force someone into committing suicide |
 |
| A mix of both. I pay for streaming sites like crunchyroll, Hidive, Amazon Video and Netflix. I buy the full manga series' I like to support, like Hell's Paradise and CSM, but I'll usually read them on pirated manga sites first. Some older or more obscure series you can't get anymore unless you stream on pirate sites like 9anime or buy the DVD which isn't gonna happen for me. Josei is particularly neglected. |
| Technically legal because there is no law in my country against it. |
| Considering no one has the license to localize 99% of the anime I'm interested in, in my country, I don't think you can call it illegal that I'm not watching my anime through sites like CR, Netflix and the like. But technically yes, I do acquire my anime in ways that do not actively support the industry monetarily, because I have no way to. I do buy manga often though, and when I can I do buy physical releases and merch. |
"Most anime makers are basically autistic" - Hideaki Anno |
| A mixture of everything, although I watch most of the anime on Crunchyroll and a few on Netflix, the rest of the anime that is not licensed by Crunchyroll I download illegally |
 |
| Legally for the most part through Crunchyroll 'n Netflix. But I may set sail for the ones that are region locked. |
on 
| It depends. When my streaming media has it - I watched it there since the quality is a lot better than some illegal sites. However majority are being watched illegally since I dont have much choice anyway since its not available here anyway. I just buy its action figure or the manga if I can find it. |
 |
| I sail through the high seas to become the king of pirates. Mostly due to the lack of anime services in my country. I buy what i like if it exists nearby if not then it is what it is. |
