Download, unlike most people here it only takes me 1-2 mins to download an episode and the subs+quality are better. If it's an anime that has been released on Blu-ray then the quality is even better then streaming and streaming can't even compare since the files are usually compressed when they are uploaded online. So downloading is the way to go for higher quality and if you have fast internet, streaming is pointless.

Stream always, I'm too busy and too lazy to download and it is also easier for me I guess (?)... just a few clicks and I'm watching the episode.

I stream my anime, it's much faster and more convenient since I typically watch when I'm at home and there's WiFi available.

buddy, you're doing it wrong. downloading is way better than streaming (if you're a freebie)

If a title is not on crunchyroll, I torrent it because kissanime fullscreen 720p looks like garbage

Streaming is definitely a better choice for me. Downloading takes some time to do, while streaming is quicker and easier. Also, downloading anime can take up a lot of space depending on how much you download...

Stream, Crunchyroll makes it easy.

But also a lot of the watching I do is with friends on Rabbit. You can't use torrents on Rabbit.

Download or watch DVDs. Why would I want my ability to watch anime to depend on both my internet connection and some website remaining operational and sensible? I suspect streaming doesn't allow you to use a decent media player either.

I almost always torrent my anime. Part of the reason is that I watch anime when I'm out and about, so not exceeding my data limit is a genuine concern.

I'm not dead set against streaming though and I'll resort to it for older anime or those lacking seeds.
I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.

Depends. I usually stream it, but if I want to show my friends the anime, or I want to have it available to watch at any time, I'll download it. (I've done this with Magic Kaito 1412 and Pokemon Sun and Moon)

Download because 1) it somehow makes me feel more connected to the series (idk why) 2) I can download 1080p and 720p anime which is awesome 3) I can watch it pretty much everywhere without needing internet connection. I will probably never go back to streaming, downloading is so much better for me xD

Always download, both currently airing and old ones.
Im on 3rd world counry, so the easiest way to watch the series i wanted is to pirate it. I have animax, but it doesnt broadcast the series i wanted, because its a TV broadcast anyway.
I watch some movie on theater too.
It doesnt take to much memory, not even take half of my 1TB HDD for all my listed anime.
Regularly 720p8bit, sometime 480p8bit.

Currently streaming because I got shitty internet at my place and I am impatient. Also Netfix...

But might switch back to downloading once I get an upgrade because of the quality of the subs and 720p/1080p.

PS: Don't torrent, it WILL bite you in the ass someday...

If my internet speed is good enough to stream 720p, I would prefer stream. Sadly, not good enough. so Download
