| I used to when I was broke and cheap and didn't watch anime as much as I do now. There also wasn't as many paid options once upon a time as there are now. Nowadays I pay for most anime through at least some streaming services, Crunchyroll being the biggest one of course. Maybe from time to time I'll use pirate streaming sites if they're really hard to find but I try to avoid those and place them as something later to watch in hopes they'll be added to a streaming site. |
| As someone from europe, i don't have much of a choice. Here and there i watch some anime on netflix, but when it comes to crunchyroll i don't have access for more than half of their catalogue... |
| I try to avoid it because I know how badly the artists working on it need the money, but I will pirate under either of the following circumstances: 1) I can't stream it anywhere and the Blu-ray/DVD/VHS is too expensive 2) Disney licensed the anime Most anime productions rake in enough money but the producers and licensors take most of it, so while piracy is a factor in the poor treatment of animators and other artists, it's not the only one. |
I can't even function as a human being anymore. |
| I only watch it legaly and use Shikis. |

| If the anime is not on netflix (almost all), I use pirated websites. Also, many of these websites release the episodes faster than netflix |
| I may have to if I want to watch certain anime. I'm subscribed to a couple of places but I can only sub to so much. |
 |
| The closest I come to piracy is using YouTube for shows that are behind a paywall elsewhere |
| No not really, I have basically every streaming service out there, and I mostly watch seasonal anime, so very rarely I need to pirate. This current season for instance there is no shows that I have to resort to piracy. The last one that I had to, would've been Futoku no Guild |

| I watch on Hulu, YouTube (official channels), TVer and GYAO! via VPN as well as downloaded episodes… although these days I’m mostly watching on those official platforms.

| Yes but I plan to change that once I have income. Still might pirate if I can't find some show, as I don't exactly wanna sign up for multiple services and not get to watch what I want... |

| Imagine paying for watch anime. There are better things to invest money. |

|
| Yes, but mostly torrent and no-legal streaming; unless I'm at friend's place who has netflix/amazon etc or watching a movie that comes to select theater for a limited time. |
| Will admit I mix my focus between buying up anime to view in physical formats and pirating via torrents or streaming, the latter particularly if the titles in question are currently airing, only available on streaming platforms, too costly to get an out of print copy or if licensed by Aniplex of America with their overpriced releases, or aren't available through any sort of legal means. Justification for me pirating is largely for cost-saving reasons and saving on shelf space for my physical collection. While I have no problem supporting the industry paying for physical releases as I've been well in the habit of keeping and watching titles in disc formats since starting my fandom up in the 2000s, I only have so much money and shelf space to set aside for it. |
| Very rarely do I buy anime DVD/BDs and I haven't subscribed to any steaming service so I usually pirate. |
 |
| It dosen't really exist any good legit streaming service, i'm not a fan of Cruncy or Funimation. So i normally just watch on pirate site and buy merch. I think this is the best way to support Japan's Anime industry. I |
 |
| Yes just because i cant afford to have all my anime in 1 place. |
 |
| yes i do and i have no plans of ever stopping. the moral grandstanding is amusing to me considering that anime wouldn't even be a thing in the west if it wasn't for pirates back in the day. if you were born after the year 2000 and think pirating is wrong, i ask you to kindly shut the fuck up. |
| Yes, I pirate anime. So what? :o ... |
 |
| Sometimes I like to buy DVD series, but only if I really loved the anime and if I can afford it. I bought The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, Lupin The Third Part Four and some anime films. Sometimes I use my relatives' Netflix, but I don't have it. I'm broke as all you are. |

| obviously, theres no other way to watch it in my region borders are ruining the internet, it should be truly global, all of us deserve easy access to all content online, but things are geo locked its like they want us to pirate everything |
