I prefer to watch anime on my laptop, since it's touchscreen it's super easy to enlarge the screen or pause the video, although it's true that sometimes I watch anime on my phone too.

I got a second hand PC and connected it to my Main TV in the living room. I watch to much anime, heading towards 400 soon.

I always watch my anime on my monitor cuz I prefer a bigger screen so I can see better cuz I'm basically blind but I've never watched anime on a TV cuz I don't have one in my room and I don't want to watch anime in the living room cuz I don't want my family walking in on a "weird scene" if u know what I mean. I've watched anime on my phone before when I'm on a plane but it's too tiny and I have to really bring the phone close to my face which is annoying.

I think I have the strangest setup. I have a really nice TV, but I don't have a laptop or tablet, just a desktop in another room. I use my phone to cast to the TV. I have a special casting app on my phone to the TV for streaming, I don't even have Chromecast, haha. Hey, it works! I also have a couple apps on the TV for subscription services that have anime.

I actually learned a trick, I watch anime on my computer but on the small default size player. I never use full screen to watch anime, but why you ask?....because naturally our eyes have tunnel vision and we don't focus on our peripherals. We only really see what's clear in a very small part of our vision in front of us. So by watching anime on a small player you essentially can read subtitles and watch anime at the same time without missing what's happening. The bigger the screen the more you will miss out on because our peripherals can't see everything, however on a small screen you don't miss anything. But if you watch too small then it's just a strain on the eyes and hard to read, so default player is about the right size on a computer


This is like saying IMAX theater was a mistake because her screen is too big. But I don't think so when I go to cinema I always watch in IMAX if possible, it's the best experience.

Most of the time, it's from a laptop. I don't really have room to connect to HDMI all the time. However occasionally I'll watch from my physical copy collection or watch VRV on my TV if whatever I'm watching is available.

TV and only TV. IDK why but I cannot watch anime on a mobile device/computer as I won't feel as invested in it as I would be on a TV.

Watching on a laptop is the best way to do it! It can be versatile like a phone but still big enough like a monitor. I've watched all my anime and read most of my manga this way.

Nowadays, I often use a laptop to watch anime or sometimes on a tv. Although until last year, I only really watched anime on my phone since I didn't really use my laptop as much.

I watch from a monitor, either on laptop or pc. Honestly my monitor is better than my tv and it feels bothersome to connect my laptop or pc to the tv.

I used to watch most anime on phone, pretty good cause you can lay in bed, on couch, anywhere really. But now I've got a good monitor setup so it's all on that now.

Personally prefer monitor above mobile but when i wanna lay down in my bed or im in a train or smt
tv is not really something for me personally i like to sometimes playback a scene if i think it looks very cool and find that hard with a tv phone is a bit annoying bc it always does to far back and keyboard is just perfect on pc

I watch most of my anime from my computer monitor just because of the ease of access and how quickly I can just fire up and sit down to enjoy an episode. That being said I do a mix of all of the above, to be honest. I tend to use VRV on my TV a good bit. There's something really satisfying about watching anime up on that bigger screen since I'm so used to the little one but I also feel like I notice a lot more of the little details and quirks of the animation and story if I'm sitting upright at my desk watching it. That being said, at the end of the day as long as I'm enjoying the series I'm good wherever.

monitor, sometimes in tv with laptop connected by hdmi. i'm pretty underage to watch some animes (i'm not talking about hentai fyi) and i don't really like to watch them with my parents around. also i think in laptop is more comfortable. another reason i don't watch in tv is bc there aren't animes in national tv plus some services like amazon prime or netflix have a shitty anime catalog here in latam. i only watch anime in my phone when it's past midnight and i don't want to get caught because of the monitor's light lmao

Laptop or tablet but usually tablet because its more comfortable.
I mean the iPad Pro is pretty huge and the quality is great. Also you have the possibility to lay in bed while watching anime.

Huge tablet=best investment for a weeb

Laptop because its bigger and more clear with JBL speakers. Phone when I am in bed.

I have a laptop (on it rn) that I use exclusively for watching anime. It was originally supposed to be a laptop for school but beause of various complications in real life back in 2017/2018 I couldn't attend school, so I stayed home watching anime, and then by the time I was feeling well enough to go back to school (at a different place), this laptop had already grew out in terms of generation, plus I was already using it mostly for anime, so I just got a more recent laptop exclusively for school and work last Fall and kept this one as my laptop for anime, lol~^^'>3

Honestly some of you guys need to use a laptop, literally perfect for it all (atleast if you are at home). Position yourself anywhere and you'll find a way. Sitting at a desk? Easy, just put it on the desk. Laying down in bed? put it diagonally on your thighs and stomach, or lay flat and put it on your stomach (this will hurt your neck sometimes) or the best way IMO is to turn to the side and turn your laptop to the side so it balances on the bed at that 90 degree-ish angle.

I've been using my macbook to watch literally everything and it is just the greatest, completely beats PC, TV, or phone IMO. GOATed technique, get a laptop :)
