For me I watch from TV most of the time. (Play by a laptop connected with HDMI)
When I'm at work I would have to watch from a monitor but man my company's monitor is shit.

My parents won't let me do anything i want. So i watch from my little mobile alone at night (2-5am). Thats why i only watch anime not movies or tv shows because i want to watch them on tv. It probably ruins the experience but if the show is good it doesn't matter i guess. I watched all animes on phone including my favourites like aot, fmab, and also deathnote. Maybe watching studio gibhli movies at night on phone was not a good idea.

I hope in the future you can rewatch your favorite shows on a big screen TV.

I watch on a tablet when I'm at my mums which unfortunately I have been since the pandemic started. I've limited what I watch to shows that only have 1 cour. Any longer and I'm saving them for my TV when I get home.

I want to enjoy watching anime so on the TV. I don't know how people can watch hours of anime sitting on an uncomfortable chair.

either on my samsung tv connected via hdmi or on my phillips monitor (because the sound and video are slightly better but it's a bit smaller). Back in the day I would have watched it on my laptop but I was living in a dorm, it was ok.

Don't judge the phone users! We can lay in bed and get comfortable in any angle and still watch what we enjoy watching.

Too many other distractions on my pc
My opinion is the correct opinion!
Though I’ll listen to you for now I guess baka
Who thought that getting a job would be a good idea when I have anime to watch

I watch every anime on my Laptop except harem/ecchi genre. These two, I watch them on my phone. Because every time when I watch these genre, erotic scenes never show until my parents come in front of the screen.

I watch on my tablet. It's not too big/small and it doesn't overheat on my bed so in case I fall asleep I don't need to worry about that.

I watch primarily on my monitors but I do occasionally watch on my TV as well, especially movies.

Same as OP pretty much, on big screen television with hdmi from my computer. If I want to be quiet for some reason I'll use my 15in laptop, but it has pretty good speakers too and a great screen. I use my phone for at work on lunch break, and my earphones are pretty good, but I wouldn't watch all shows that way.

Depends where I am. Watching on a tv is definitely the best experience, but watching anime on my iPad is by far the easiest. I usually watch it on a monitor though.

Well, I connect my PC to a TV, so mainly on a TV either sitting on a chair or laying on bed. However, I watch on my laptop as well, either laying or sitting on a couch.

I've watched some shows on tablet and very few episodes on phone, but the screen is too small, so I don't do it anymore.

It's just so easy, what can I say. Well to be fair I use a tablet, but I think they're pretty similar.

I watch on my phone. In a big family there's almost no time alotted to you when it comes to watching on the tv. I can barely finish 6 eps on the computer, no other choice but to watch on the phone. I did however watch some anime on the tv naruto, fairy tail, hunter x hunter and ghost fighter usually anime the whole family could watch.

I don't get the difference. If you don't use the tuner your TV is practically a monitor...and since they don't air much anime on the TV channels available to me...

Basically all of them. Used to watch on tv but was scared that parents would walk in so I stopped that. In the future I hope to watch on tv with a bigger screen and big speakers lol. I usually watch on my iPad which is not the best but it’s decent as well as Monitor which I find the best. As a past phone watcher, I can say the screen is way too small idk how people, watch and focus on anime in that thing.

I usually watch on my laptop monitor, because it's easier to find the you-know-what-kind-of-sites I usually watch anime from that way. A couple years ago I experimented with connecting a small laptop with Win8 we had laying around via hdmi to the tv and it was certainly a different experience, though I needed my long-distance glasses to see the subs. Unluckily my father decided to 'update' that pc to Win10 which made it even slower than it was already, so that way of watching anime on tv was cut off for me.
At any rate, I think I prefer watching on the laptop because the viewing surface is bigger than on a phone/tablet and big enough for me to enjoy the anime just fine, and also close enough to my face to not require long-distance glasses to see the subs.

I do all three, depends on the scenario

Monitor: I typically have something on while I am playing a game on the other monitor
TV: Use this when I'm either in bed or in the living room
Tablet: Use this a lot during the day. I work from home, so I prop my iPad to the side of my laptop to have something to listen to. Maybe I'll get another TV for my office sometime, but this setup honestly works out pretty well for the space I have.

i watch from my laptop. i'm too cheap to buy a tv.

also, don't knock tablets; while it's not my preferred method, there is something kinda cozy about lazing about, wrapped up in a blanket, watching moeblob trash

I watch from my laptop if I'm alone, but my boyfriend refuses to watch anime unless it's on a tv, so it's pretty split.

Even if helping people is easy,
asking for help is a hurdle of it's own.
