| Since my small screen phone died i ordered my first big screen phone. (6.5 inch with a good display) So that got me wondering. Do any of you watch anime on your phone while you commute or in your house? I know people like to watch Netflix on their phone but i was never one of them since i never liked Netflix. |

| As someone who’s watched anime on their phone quite extensively I can confirm it’s not the best. If it’s your only option then it’s good but there are much better alternatives. |
 |
| sometimes, it's pretty much the only reason I have crunchyroll premium at home I'll just watch on my pc or laptop but if I'm taking a bus or train I usually watch on my phone |
| Back in high school I used to watch anime on my phone on the way back from school. Then my parents got pissed at me for how much data I was using. Haven't watched on my phone since! |

| I spent all my money on a microsoft surface pro 7. pretty much has the benefits of a windows laptop and a phone/tablet, as it is thin and medium sized with detachable keyboard/touchscreen. I literally do not use my phone or pc for pretty much anything outside phone calls and demanding video games now. |

I use my laptop for writing and anime, Pc for gaming like most of the people but i feel like there are lots of people who uses their phones as main Film/Show watching device and for some reason it intrigues me to no end. |

We eventually got an unlimited plan too, but I still prefer to watch on my laptop at home...Always afraid of some random ecchi scene popping up while I'm in public |
| I only do it on plane and train trips because I have better methods to watch at home. It's also uncomfortable. |

| AnimeThemes.moe <- the largest collection of anime Openings & Endings on the Web AnimeMusicQuiz.com <- guess an anime from your list by it's Opening/Ending music browser game |
| Nah, jut YouTube when I'm taking a dump. |
 |
| I do, reminds me of the good ol' days back in 2012 when we didn't have broadband yet. God, watching episodes of Bleach on YouTube and Clannad...good fucking times. |
| Go ahead, reply. I'm not going to read it. |
| I won't lie, I've watched anime on my phone a few times. Stopped real quickly though. cuz to quote a certain film guy... |

On a TV, the subtitles for me or too far down so I have to look back and forth. Yesss i knew people like you existed! And the funny thing is i was thinking about that problem yesterday. When i watch an anime on big screen close up, its annoying to just look up and down. |
| A larger screen is better in most cases, but a phone is perfectly serviceable. |
| i do watch on phone multiple times but i only uses sites such as kissanime and it can be quite tedious to have ads popping out at random times while watching, i used netflix as well but there are limited animes in there :< if anyone have any alternative solutions / sites to watch on phone, please tell me ;_; |
 |
| As someone who was watched anime on there phone it is a bad idea. If it's your only option there is nothing you can do about it but avoid when possible. |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| phone screens are so big now, it's not that strange to be watching anime, movies or stuff you'd normally save for the bigger screen. also, i guess it's not so much of an issue now, but fansubbers tendency to encode their episodes with the latest codecs usually made them a nightmare to play on any device that wasn't a pc. |
 |
| I own a samsung galaxy s7 and my phone becomes too fucking hot just by scrolling through MAL. And it's not like I have brightness on 100%. I keep it on half to not run out of battery. So I don't know why my phone keeps getting hot. Watching a full anime episode would probably set my phone on fire. |
| I do not watch anime on my fun, but I do on my Samsung tablet. |

| for sure i do this most of the times when im not on my pc, but its good either way. |
 |
| I can't do it, the screen is just too small for me. I do watch anime on a tablet sometimes, but that's all. One of my friends only uses his phone to watch anime and I honestly have no idea how he does it. |
| I watch it on my phone every time I decide to watch an episode while I'm already ready to go to sleep, because it's lighter and more practical. Otherwise, I watch it on my laptop, but almost never on a bigger screen. |

I think it might be easier streaming it to the phone via a website or smth rather than straight up downloading .mkvs onto it. |

One of my friends only uses his phone to watch anime and I honestly have no idea how he does it. I tried it with a simple to watch show like Nichijou and to my surprise it was really fun and enjoyable but I don't think I can do it with a more focus demanding show. |
| I did once and the experience was mediocre having finished Death Note on my Xperia Mini when I was doing my unpaid internship at the city hall. |
 |
| Once or twice but nah I don't want to waste my battery. |
 |
| Yep, I kind of got used to. Mostly because I live pretty far from the university I study, so sometimes I tend to watch anime while traveling from here to there (and sometimes at uni itself when there are no classes). It is not the best, but it is a viable option. |
| I watched anime on my phone but rarely on the computer. It's just easier for me to lay down in bed and hold my phone rather than sitting up with my broke ass laptop. Plus, I have an anime aesthetic account on Instagram so I do have to get screenshots and it's much easier on my iPhone. And it's easier to hide since my parents aren't on board with me liking Japan related things |
| I've watched more anime on my cell phone than on any other device if you don't count leaving the TV on when going to bed. guych said: I watched anime on my phone but rarely on the computer.

My cell phone doesn't know how subtitles work so I end up transcoding and hardsubbing the video files I get regardless. Look into handbrake if you want to waste your time. I've had more trouble trying to get things to play on Linux. czeselle said: i do watch on phone multiple times but i only uses sites such as kissanime and it can be quite tedious to have ads popping out at random times while watching, i used netflix as well but there are limited animes in there :< if anyone have any alternative solutions / sites to watch on phone, please tell me ;_; A 64 gigabyte SD card. |

My phone has a big screen so it is not a problem to watch anything on it BUT i can't watch things while am outside doing other things. I like concentrating on the things i watch. |
| I much prefer watching anime in my laptop, but there was one anime which some episodes I watched on my phone. |
| i always watched anime on my Note 8. too bad my screen is cracked a bit :P |
 |
| I watched plenty of anime on my second hand Samsung Galaxy S7. Of course, with help from the AnimeKisa and 9anime apps. My main entertainment hub for entertainment while washing dishes. By the way, the best time for me to torrent extensively is when I get satellite internet that isn't Starlink. |
| I have watched only a few episodes on mobile phone, 99.9% of the time, I use a tablet or my laptop. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| Yeah that's where I watch the most. Put aside privacy, it's easier to use playback controls and read subtitles up-close. |
 |
| I watched a few anime on my phone back around 2014. It was an iPhone with a small screen. I don't know how I managed. Nowadays I always watch anime on a computer screen. |
| Yes, always. You can snuggle into your warm and comfy blanket on a cold winter evening and watch anime on your phone while relaxing in bed. |

| I used to commute 1.5 hours each way for work. Watched tv and movies on my phone. Not the best but better than letting my mind get slow. |
