I have a subscription at both Crunchyroll and Netflix, but some or most the anime I look for both networks don't offer, so I have no choice but to go through illegal roots.

I have both crunchy and netflix and when time comes I watch illegally as well since not every anime is in their catalog, but recently I've been watching mostly legally.

Used to have a CR sub, on principal, most of the stuff that's worthwhile is region locked for me anyways and the player is so horrid, even when I tried watching something I technically could watch via CR, I just torrented it instead.

Which is what I still do now, but without paying.
I don't want to buy, what they don't really want to sell me.

Illegal, as the library of legal services are less than disappointing. Not worth paying for.

Depending what your laws are you can stream it legally from any website, just don't distribute it yourself.

Yeb yeb, I go through all the trouble of watching ads, some longer than 10 mins longs, just so I'm not stealing anime ^~^
Can't get a CR sub so... ~.~

I also bother with a VPN when I need it too >~<
Some anime ain't even accessible legally regardless of region tho, but I fortunately dun have any of these on my list x3

I do both. If I want to watch an anime that so happens to be on Netflix or crunchy roll, I watch it there. If I’m watching a show that is currently airing and I can’t wait, I’ll look for it on illegal sites. I only have the Crunchyroll app. I don’t have a premium account, so I watch with ads.

I spend a lot of time outside of my house so I usually download my anime illegally off of nyaa.si, horrible subs, or directly from the fan subbers. I'd say downloading directly from fan subbers is the best because the quality is usually 1080p.

Both. I pay for most streaming sites (Crunchyroll, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc) since I use most of them for things besides Anime. But when I want to watch something that one of these sites don't have, I take it to the high seas without remorse. If a series doesn't want to get pirated, they should find their way onto one of these services.

It depends on the availability of the series. For example, Zero no Tsukaima season 1 and 2 are not available legitely while the final season is on Crunchyroll.

kind of funny since most of illegal streaming site is ripping (which is get re encode, lower it quality) from nya, which is mainly also ripped from legal streamer (cough cough, horriblesubs, which also get re encode)... for modern seasonal anime, illegal streamers is no way to have better quality than legal streamers, unless illegal streamers has relation with japan and somewhat can get ripping from japan TV broadcasting and subbed it them self which is doubtful...

There are definitely TVRips for seasonal animes, but even with webrips from crunchyroll or whatever, you'll find torrents that look just as good.

Waiting for BD release is best anyway.

TV rips is done by traditional fansubs, which frequently streaming site bots don't catch it. but yeah, objectively, BD is is the best, unless very rare case...

Both. Since anime is rarely broadcast in my country (seriously, they only broadcast Naruto!), I use Crunchyroll to watch anime. When i want to watch some anime but not available on this site, i download it illegally.
