| I watch on my phone or tablet because I like watching while in bed especially on my off days and that's difficult to do with a laptop. Also that girl really reminds me of Minako <3 lol. |
 |
| Occasionally, I sometimes watch anime when commuting, usually it's non-action/non-drama series, don't really have a reason for that though(except maybe it's easier to watch and you don't have to sit in one place). |
 |
| I sometimes watch a random episode of Evangelion on my phone when I’m bored on the bus xD I also watched the entirety of Heike Monogatari on my phone as well. But generally I don’t watch anime on my phone as I prefer a bigger screen. |
 |
| No, i don't watch anime on phone for 2 reasons: 1. The screen is too small. 2. I do not have a phone. |
| Never. Too small screen. Desktop is the best option in my opinion. |

| I have done during the covid lockdowns, as the house we were isolating in didn't have internet, so I used both mine & my mother's phone to watch a bit of Anime. Only bad thing is that we were on PAYG (and I still am), and had limits. I would sometimes download Anime if we were somewhere with free internet, but just don't have a reason to do that anymore. I do read manga on my phone during train journeys, but I wouldn't want to watch Anime during those, as part of a journey I frequently take has large sections of tunnels deep underground, so there isn't internet coverage down those. |
 |
| Only computer monitor or TV for me, screen is way too small, I don't find it enjoyable. I can watch some short anime videos on YouTube, but that's all. |
| I don't mind watching anime on my phone, the screen is big enough for me I guess Plus I don't always have my computer with me so it's practical when I'm not at home |
| I don't. While I don't think that most anime feature enough detail to benefit from a giant screen, phones are still too small and too awkward to to enjoy anything longer than 20 minutes. |

| I do, I don’t have an issue with the small screen and I like to watch anime on the go if I have the chance like during lunch. |

| I do. It's just the easiest way to watch, especially when I want to watch while laying on my bed or on the go. |
| I only use my phone to cast anime to my chromecast (TV). |
 |
| I generally don't. I use my phone to read Manga though. |
| I usually use my phone to watch anime because it's more accessible and can bring it anywhere. |
 |
| I usually have anime I watch solo then some I watch with my bro. Solo series I use my android tablet. Group series I just use a flash drive on my ps4, and play it on a big screen tv. |

Just few times but casually on TV or computer |
 |
| On my phone very rarely, if I do that it is most likely when I am at train moving from one place to another for bunch of hours and re-watching something which I have downloaded from Netflix such as Cyberpunk Edgerunners, or something else depends on what I'll download. When it comes to new stuff/things I am watching for first time it is always on PC or rarely on my laptop. |
| I mostly watch anime via TV through my Xbox. Secondly, I watch anime on my phone and computer about the same. As for why - I enjoy the ability to lounge and the screen size of watching on my TV. I'll watch on my phone sometimes if I'm about to go to sleep, trying not to disturb my man when he's asleep or if I'm away from the house and have an opportunity to watch. I watch on my computer when I am multitasking or when I want to be alone. |

| It's kinda harder for people who pirate anime to watch on a phone/mobile, since most pirate sites are even worse on mobile with their ads. Unless you transfer torrented files to your phone or have an adblock on your phone (which most people don't do) So it's easier to just have a dedicated app. But even then, I only watch anime on mobile if it's on a tablet, cause otherwise the screen would be too small. |

I love watching anime on my cell phone, it's almost an extension of my soul haha.📱 |
 |
| Nope as I mainly watch on my desktop PC, unless I decided to watch a random clip on youtube or a youtube channel with videos of some clips of it inserted for reference/meme purposes. |
| Only some anime. Because its easier to carry it to university or when I am too lazy to open my laptop. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| I refuse to watch anything other than maybe youtube videos on a phpne. With shows and especially with movies, a bigger screen is always better. I'd rather use a tablet. Aside from convience when not at home, theres absolutely no reason to use your phone on purpose. Literally the worse way to watch most things no matter how big your screen is. |
| Sure, it's a convenient way to watch your favorite shows wherever you are. |
| These last years has been the main way i watch anime. Most because i don't have all the time, so it is way convenient to watch on phone. So i can watch on public transport, at work etc. And when i am at home with free time i opt to play video game. |
| No, I do not as I do not own a smartphone and never have. I only own a basic "flip phone" as a cellphone, which wouldn't be capable of going online and playing videos in any serious way. |
| I only ever watch it on my TV via a PC. I think reducing it down to a mobile sized image can reduce the impact of the visuals and the scene. Ive not tried watching it on a mobile but I think it would be diminutive to whats happening. |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| I mostly watch anime on my PC since I like to watch shows and movies from a big monitor. |
 |
| Only if it´s an anime i don´t care much about or if i´m outside. usually i watch it on computer, if it´s an anime i really like i watch it on TV |

| Nope. I'm blind as a bat and need a big screen. |
 "Are you intoxicated, or just insane?" |
| No, i hate phones to watch anime, read books or play games. It´s horrible. I don't know how people can do it. |
 |
| I watch anime and other media and sports for long periods of time and watching them on phone saves electricity. |
 |
| Yes, I do. I like being able to laze around in bed and watch anime at the same time. |

| No, why watch something on my phone when I've got a 70 inch TV with 7.1 surround |
| I almost always watch anime on my phone. Mainly because I don't want anyone to see it (regardless of what anime I watch, before you ask. And no, I don't have a room where I can lock the door and shut everything out.) I only use my old laptop when it's a must, and although I have a tablet, I often don't bother switching to it. Because I use DuckDuckGo browser which doesn't have sync between devices so continuing where I left off is inconvenient. So long story short: smartphone is my choice. |

| I like watching on phone because you can be comfy while watching a lot easier and also it’s more convenient to watch on rather than booting up my Tv or pc |
| i don't use streaming services and the last time i tried putting episodes on my phone(at least 5 years ago) dealing with the subs was a pain in the ass and not worth it |

| I'd rather watch animes on desktop but I dont have a desktop so I watch it on my phone |
 |
| I watch comfort shows on my phone in bed. Other than that I watch on desktop. |

I mostly watch animes on my phone, lying in bed or while commuting |
 |
| only when i'm desperate to watch a new hyped episode at an inconvenient time, like while on a road trip. otherwise, always a bigger screen for full experience. |

| @mdo7 Watching anime while exercising at the gym? That is a cool thing to do, keep it up ^.^  |

| The screen is small, so watching anime on a phone isn't as fantastic as it is on a desktop. |
 |
| I prefer to watch in notebook, however when it is turned off and I'm too lazy to turn it on I watch on phone (unless it is a non seasonal). |
