| I usually download. I only stream when I don't find anyplace to download. |
 |
| mostly download, because i don't have a good connection for stream |
| Why is there no "both" option yet? |
| I always download. It's just more convienant for me. |
| I have to believe that when things are bad I can change them |
| I was wondering what people are using to watch there shows? I have been using Netflix but they don't even come close to having half the shows people are talking about sometimes. |
| I agree torrent is the best place though , but you have to find the good ones :) |
 |
| I literally just google the show and the episode number and click on the first link I see from a site I know(streams). If it's a series I'm in love with I'll just download it and watch it on my VLC player for smexy full screen HD. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| Ya that's also what I been using just stinks there is not even good apps to suggest anime for me to check out witch is why I started checking this out. |
| Netflix for anime is one of the worst ways to watch, go to BakaBT and download your anime in great quality. If you have slow internet streaming is a good alternative. gogoanime, Anime season, and Dub Happy are good places to start. |
 |
| Torrents mostly. I also stream off netflix. I must shamefully admit that I do use some streaming sites. I only do it because there are some shows I want to watch, but dont care enough about to download them. |

And I thought that was the number one way but so far more people say they torrent o.o why download? |
[right] |
| I stream, and then buy the BDs. |

So you don't get eye-cancer quality, that's why. Oh boy this again. . . A fair amount of the streaming sites actually put out some decent quality episodes, I've even found some shows in HD as well! Besides some people may not want to take the time to download it when they can just literally hit play on a site and begin watching, and may not want to waste the memory as well. Considering a full 24 minute HD episode can take anywhere between 300-500 mbs. As long as I get to watch the show and it is fairly decent quality I am happy. No eye-cancer here yet buddy. I do love download/torrent as well of course(DAT HD sexiness), but streaming is just convenient at times. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |

FauxAzn said: Or of course if you don't care about shoddy quality and selection, you could always lazily stream anime through numerous anime websites (Google's your friend here). I don't see how anyone can find streaming lazier or easier then torrenting, you literally type a title in, download then torrent then you have the whole series unlike streaming... I like to use bakabt, nyaa(for currently airing) and sometimes demenoid. With cccp with and MadVR. |

|
| I mostly watch online streams. My favorite streaming websites are probably OtakuCenter and Anilinkz. |

 |

Yes, not kidding, I have experienced that before. |
| i stream though i guess i don't have patience to wait for 60 minutes to download a 50mb episode |
| ~"The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands." (Pirsig) |
| I only download because I have the bandwidth to do it and the harddrive space and I cant handle watching anything below 720p ;_; |
 |
| I stream; only because I don't know safe sites to download from. ;n; |
| download.. so I can watch it over and over again |
My Grandmother Always said.. He who walks through the path of heaven will rule over everything.. |
| Stream, I hardly ever rewatch a show so there is no need to store it. Plus, my harddrives are so full of video and pictures from work that I can't spare the space. I usually average a gig per project, and some up to 200 gigs in just a couple of days. |
| Is there another word for synonym? |
| I mostly stream because bandwiiiidth (otherwise I would definitely only download). However, if I really fall in love with an anime and think it has a high rewatch value (basically, if it's a favourite), then I'm going to download it in 720/1080p for when I'll want to rewatch it. I think there are only two anime that I downloaded for a first-time watch. |
Regicide said: i stream though i guess i don't have patience to wait for 60 minutes to download a 50mb episode I think you mean "I don't have the patience to wait 5 minutes for a 500mb 1080p episode." |
| I download unless I can't find what I'm looking for, then I stream. I just prefer having higher quality. |
Eyes always lose their fire |
| I stream. Because downloading is taking to long for me ;p. |
 Don't get cocky there ! |
IDex said: There is no good reason to stream. Yes there is. There's a reason why I pay for Hulu Plus. I can watch new episode of Accel World on Hulu Plus before even the RAW got uploaded/torrented, let alone waiting for a proper fansub. In regards to video and audio quality, I watch Accel World streaming from Hulu Plus, in HD on my TV. Quality is as good as any HD encodes. The argument about video quality is due to most people streaming from lousy sites that only offer a low-res encodes inside a Window. Oh, no need for a computer/Adobe Flash too as my TV has Hulu Plus app. Also, DDL/Torrent/fansub version uses recorded broadcast version, meaning if the broadcaster in Japan has announcements or "promotions" text running on the top or bottom, they are there for good. The official stream I watch on Hulu Plus is clean of that. There are obvious advantages of both, which is why I do both (stream then download). |
| Download always,so i can have them on my tablet, when i'm on the road, or far from a wiffi spot . I also download to have a better video quality. |
 |
| I will usually download and then just delete it afterwards if I don't think I'll ever re-watch it or share it with someone else I know. The only time I really stream is if it's something that isn't available to download yet. I also tend to find alot of dual-audio versions of anime for download that I can't find dubbed to stream. |
 |
| I stream pretty much everything because I want to watch them there and then. I'm too impatient to download and I'm not really fussed about the difference in quality. However I'll download stuff to watch when I go on journeys etc. |
