LolitaDecay said: Download. Streaming makes me want to kill kittens. This. If you have a computer that can handle the quality(I believe most do), enough space to delete it after your done(If you don't plan on keeping them), and a high speed connection, I don't see any reason as to why not download. I find that "waiting" is a pretty weak excuse, since your not watching anime 24/7 and you can leave the computer on for a night to get it done. If you have to shut it down every day, download a series, and while your watching it you can probably grab another 2-3 before you finish. |
| I download, as should anybody else who has a half decent computer. Streaming quality is just awful. |
 |
| download then if I like it I go buy it |
| I download 99% of the time, but when there are series I just cant find good sources for, I stream. (HD or SD streams tho) |
| I do both. Donwload a lot of series, but I also stream them. |
 |
| Download. What is this term... "stream"... ? |

| Download. I can't stream them. Youtube and Veoh both closed in my country >_> |
| yes im evil pirate factory. mostly i download my anime... |
| That Is Not Dead Which Can Eternal Lie And With Strange Eons Even Death May Die |
| download |
 |
| do both, if the series is ok and the animation quality isn't something special i'll just strem it for simplicity, if its a a series i really enjoy and very good quality i'll download it on its max quality just because i can... |
First Sig built from scratch 2nd overall^^^ |
| Almost always download, I find it more enjoyable that way. |
 |
| I don't get the issue people have with streaming... if you don't like it then that is fine, but that's no reason to say everyone should download anime. I like anime that's really good quality and all that, but if I have to watch something that isn't the best then so bet it, they're just cartoons. |
| I don't see the point in streaming when I can just download. >.> |

| Downloading. I am using DC++ and it only takes around 30 sec x] |
| I download, watch, delete. The only animes that I've kept on my hard drive are Fumoffu and Code Geass (both seasons) |
      |
| Download it to watch it, then delete it. Unless I really liked it in which case I'll keep it. |
 |
| i download my anime and keep em there incase they get licensed xD right now i've used 28.9gig :P streaming just ruins my comp =/ |
| I streamed until the day Ani2D died..I was one day away from making an account too.. |
| I dl for hi def. I didn't buy a big ass monitor for nothing. |
 |
| Currently I Stream all my anime, But I have downloaded anime as well, I often only download if the quality is terrible or if I can't find a stream of that anime. |
     |
| I only watch anime online/stream (my) anime if I can't find it available for download. |

| Depends on how soon i want to watch it. I streamed the last few episodes of bleach (from when the fillers ended) to catch up earlier today. Otherwise i'd download it. |
      |
| Download, then usually archive it on my external to be able to share with friends later, or for when I go to a friend's house and marathon anime. |
 |
| The computer I use to acess the internet is never my own so I stream. |
| I usually stream I've downloaded a couple anime in the past. I might also download if I catch a sub group's release of an episode that hasn't been uploaded to a streaming site yet. |
 |
| I download if it's available, usually the currently airing anime. However, if it's something I missed and ancient, I'll watch it online. I usually just keep the series' I liked on the computer and delete the not-as-good anime to make space for the next season. :D |

| Basically I either download or torrent. I only stream if I wanna see if the anime is worth downloading or I can't get a download of it anymore. |
   |
| I usually stream first episodes. If I enjoy it I'll download it just for the sake of better quality. |
   |
| Stream, then download if I enjoyed the anime (5+ rating) |
| I stream. But when i cant find what i wanna watch i download. And if i like the anime i download it so i dont have to go on to the damn internet to watch it. |
 |
| I download and then watch if I like the anime a lot I but on external hard drive. |

| I download and never actually watched streams. I burned them on DVDs whether I liked them or not |
| Stream because if download it really does take time and sometimes the seeds wont be working that much great... |
 |
| but when u download u get great quality videos not crappy videos sometimes the quality sucks, sometimes the voice is messed up, and audio is not synced so many different ways that make it less enjoyable besides u have to reopen it each time u wanna rewatch and sometimes the links get taken off downloading i prefer i mean the size are huge since most good quality anime subbed 1 ep=150-200mb and dual audio is usually 200-300mb each ep i already have 2-500gb hard drives with anime but its so much better than stream u can rewatch as much as u want when u want. |

| I used to watch everything on steam, then i realized how bad the quality was. Then i got much time for download, and now im downloading everyting. I would use stream for stuff hard to find or slow download like some OVAs. Mostly... you watch one anime series once in your lifetime... so taste in at it's maximum efficiency. |

| Streams can be good quality, a lot of American sites stream some HQ videos, especially trailers. I'm waiting on Crunchyroll for January to see how good Naruto's stream quality is. I have faith it will be HQ, and if it is I'll be streaming instead of downloading. Right now I download, but I buy what I like so it's almost a waste of HDD space at times. I never rewatch episodes so it just sits there waiting to be tossed out. |
| I just got a ps3, so I predict a lot of streaming onto my tv in the future. |
| I mostly download unless I'm checking out an anime for the first time, then I stream. I also stream if I don't have access to my internet but I prefer torrents or DDL |
    |
| Both! but mainly stream. |
| DOWNLOAD, I don't even know what streaming is. FYI I do... |
