Streaming media? You have much to learn.

People who watch it on youtube, streaming media, or pay for a DDL service are simple minded fools. The quality is atrocious, the range limited, the service unreliable, the speed slow and in case of the latter: costly.

Want to watch a series? Check out reviews of finished, or currently released series.

Found your pick? Excellent.

Check out the rating/comments on which fansub group to follow. Visit their IRC channel, and download via XDCC. Free, high quality, great subs and fast. Profit! Many fansubgroup sites link to other sites with DDL up for their releases.
Other solution: torrent. animesuki, tokyotosho.com and other sites link to torrents of great releases.

And yes, there is far more out there than Naruto, Bleach and One Piece or whatever your favorite pick of everlasting shounen power-up anime is.


As for legal, it only really is if isn't licensed in the US - albeit that is somewhat of an unwritten rule.

Now I agree with Alegis that there's more to anime than just youtube or other streaming sites. However, not all of us are this serious about anime watching that we'd actually go and download them through torrents or otherwise. I understand that they are high quality, but with higher quality comes higher waiting time too. Those of us with superbly slow internet connections can take advantage of Youtube instead and not waste time waiting for downloads to finish.

Meanwhile, no, they are not completely legal. In fact, Naruto, One Piece and Bleach are all illegal--they've all been licensed in the U.S. I don't think this applies if you live in another country where the licensing company does not operate, but in the US I'm quite sure it applies. But of course, I don't think that many people care to check up on you; they'd prefer just to talk to the hosting site.

And on yet another side not, I don't watch anime, I read manga instead. Much much faster and I don't spend time complaining about any aspect of voice acting at all. And it's like the unwritten rule for books and movies: most animes adapted after the manga are worse than the original.

TOTOLLY AGREEDED.. Manga go too fast for Anime to catchup that they need to do some pre-loading of other stories, which is totally not a story.

Hmm? With weekly chapter releases an anime episode can easily cover 3 manga chapters and the anime catches up, thus fillers. This only applies to unfinished manga series though like Bleach, naruto and one piece. Sure I liked those when I started to watch anime at age of 15. Now when I look back on it, it's trash. But it gets you started.

Yeps. Though many prefer animation for various reasons. I find it great to combine both. Watch the anime, and cover story stuff the animation skipped in the manga.


If it's slow connection, you'd usually have to wait a while before it properly streams anyways. Having copies on a HD has numerous advantages, while watching better quality. If you're on 56k I can understand that.

However it isn't just for having a copy on the HD with better quality, it's broadening your field. Streaming sites have limited amount of anime that's usually restricted to shounen power-up series like Naruto. You get to know so much more when freed from that bond, pick the group of your liking etc. I see it as growing up anime wise (becoming a bit more patient is a great skill to train that is very rewarding too). But yeah, perhaps they are only interested in watching 1 such series a week. Sure thing, whatever they please.

And this, of course, is the number one reason why I read manga instead of watching anime. You get even more choice out there, as the mangas likely to be animated are usually the shonen power-up ones rather than the ones with some substance. (I'm sitting here loving 20th Century Boys, but it's not animated ) To your becoming a bit more patient point, some things are worthy to be patient over, while others, say watching anime, usually aren't. I'd be patient in the process of getting to know someone, but not in watching something I'd probably forget in a couple of months anyway.

Yes, of course it has advantages, but not everyone cares about quality. Speed is more important for some people, and it takes less time to stream something of less quality.

Ah, I usually read the manga, then watch bits of the anime for parts of the manga that I enjoyed and would like to see over again in an animated form. That, and I'd like to see if some of the voice actors matched what I thought they'd sound like.

Owwww guys... camon!! anime is pure wast of time! What does it add tou your lives??
Go and read a book, I mean, a real an good book! This is just my opinion and I really do respect yours... but I keep thinking that ti is time wasted!
