Do you use streaming sites such as Crunchyroll , KissAnime , or AnimeHaven ? Or perhaps you torrent your anime for your offline viewing pleasure through sites like Nyaa , BakaBT , AnimeBytes , HorribleSubs , or AnimeTorrents , etc? I'd love to know and this thread would also be great for people unknowing of really good, but obscure sites. Personally, I use AnimeBytes . They're hands down the best tracker around for anime. They also have just as big of a collection for Anime/Japanese music and Manga. I could go on and on about how great they are, but they are an invite only tracker. Meaning you have to apply and hope you're accepted. However, applications are closed as of right now due to the sheer volume of apps they get. So you can only join right now if you are invited by a user. P.S - I don't have any invites right now, but if you're not a member and you're interested just message me and I'll see what I can do.

I mostly stream, but back before I learned about KissAnime I'd rely on torrents. Said torrents were usually the full .iso files of the NTSC release, so it was nice to have a dub and the DVD extras.

I, of course, buy all of my anime on Blu-ray and then subtitle everything myself. Nah, just kidding. I use bakaBT and Nyaa.

Mostly from Nyaa or BakaBT. If I can't find what I want there, I turn to XDCC. Would love to actually buy BDs, but jesus they're expensive.

I normally just stream my anime through sites like Crunchyroll, KissAnime and HorribleSubs since I'm too lazy to download any torrents I've considered looking into them though and I may download a few if it proves easy enough.

You're typically not allowed to offer invites in a publicly-accessible location. AB Golden Rules, Rule #11 wrote: If you offer invites in public, you might be penalized depending on the circumstances. If you don't know if it's OK to offer invites somewhere, ask a staff member. That being said, offering invites from a usergroup-based forum is considerably more likely to be allowed. (And for the record, I currently have 1 AnimeBytes invite)

I use HorribleSubs for very recently released stuff but KissAnime for virtually everything else.

Hmm I buy anime bds for like good anime, but I usually just torrent it from nyaa. It's soo much nicer to watch with mpv, than streaming. Can create high quality webm shitpost with just two keyboard presses. I do use bakabt from time to time to download nice dvd releases and old stuff and sometimes animebytes, but idk their ratio rules really seem to prevent seeders from the stuff I'm interested in, so I really couldn't care much, as I can usually get rare stuff per xdcc or ask someone to mega it me. On my phone I use my CR subscription. From time to time i do check streaming sites though: https://twist.moe looks really nice and it's cool how some streaming sites automatically mark watched episodes. I guess I should setup something up that updates my mal automatically.

I don't watch much of anything, but as for anime, when I do, I download it from IRC bots.

For me if it's an anime that I'll enjoy rewatching, I would ususally go to Animetorrents and seed for some time. Otherwise if's currently airing, I would then go to Kissanime. I like there bookmarking system they have. And if it's one that I'll enjoy I wait for a batch to be released on animetorrents or make on my self.

How do you watch/get a hold of your anime?

I use nyaa over AB because Canada has a boner for capped bandwidth so I can't always seed at a decent ratio. As for torrenting over streaming, I like having access to it offline and if I decide to rewatch it I don't waste any bandwidth.
tfw 175gb cap
tfw $30 extra just to get unlimited

Unlimited is worth it so badly:

Or you could rent a seedbox and just download what you need over a period of days/months, if needed.

KuroAku

I use both methods. Even combined.

For non-airing series I use a streaming web and I download it by torrent if I like it.

For airing series I use this tool called peerflix that works fine if the torrent has seed enough.

Right, I feel I will get reported for this advertisement, totally not going to be advertising a site that gives you free anime without ads. Yeah, without ads you slurpy angels.

https://nyanpasu.tv is in pre-alpha. @[deleted]

Q - "How will the site survive, baka? Not that I care, baka! "

A - Basically by investors and so on. I am one of the investors. rip cash flow.

Shit, I can feel the breathing of your slurpy mouthes. @[deleted] might answer some stuff.

FukuchiChiisaia

I watch random anime, whatever the genre is, so I my way to watch anime is always different. Whatever available.

on that note, http://moetube.net/ is pretty brill too, if you're a streaming scrublord. [jk no hate]
Will say that the site breaks every other fucking minute though, but hq, HTML player and large selection is nice so whatevs.
Personally I just us nyaa tho cos its got a funny name.

Riesu

I download what shows I can. This is the site I've been using to download:
https://anisync.net/
Or
http://www.nyaa.se/

If by any chance, I need to stream a show due to it being unavailable to download, I use this:
http://animeonline.io/
Or
https://htvanime.com/

Cookies

I used to torrent, now I usually purchase my anime or watch it on a premium crunchyroll account.

Where does one find a job that pays enough to do such things?

Nice parents and online work.
But like I said, crunchyroll too.

Hmm, what about online work? I've never actually done any before, and I guess it might not be too bad of an idea to make some extra muns in my spare time. Where does one find such work?

I used to develop gmod servers. Most people used sites like Scriptfodder to share their work but I'd usually get requests from my steam groups n such.
As well as donations from people who played on my servers.

People actually pay quite a lot for custom scripts and plugins.

Oooh, I used to run a few gmod servers a while ago. Was never a fan of lua though, so never got in to developing plugins, unfortunately.

I didn't like it too much either, which is why I ended up quitting with gmod servers and started focusing with websites and such.
I was recently offered quite a lot to make another server though.

I just grab everything from KissAnime or 9Anime nowadays. They're the only ones who have dubs, and downloading the files lets me watch them in 60 FPS.

All told, I'd reckon the anime streaming community is in a pretty cushy spot. Here's hoping it stays that way. ^^

floattube

My friend left himself logged into his Crunchyroll on my PS4 and gave me his ok to use it. I use that for new stuff but I still prefer fansubs for older stuff.

animebytes and nyaa uwu

TTToast

When I watched anime more often I was using masteranime but now I use nyaa for my fix.

Altair

Crunchyroll.
If I can't find the anime I want on there I serach for it on google and go to any site that actually has the anime.
