What quality do you want Anime?

[Guest hairybumslapper]

720p for me is fine. For shows i really like i re-download the 1080p BD rips. though you really need to watch out for ones with FLAC audio, since a couple i downloaded had half its file size dedicated to audio since it was lossless.

I stick with 720. I don't necessarily need anything higher and I prefer not to have 480 or lower but I could work with it.

Dial up connection,limited quota and jobless.
Nuff said.

[DimDito]

Anything below 720p bothers me, so there's my answer.

This.

 

Anyway, I also archive downloaded anime, 720 works as to not needlessly fill my HDD up. It's also quicker to download (as someone using horrible internet), so that's some sort of balance between decent quality and less waiting.

Up to now, I'm still downloading 1080p versions of anime. I should rethink my ways.

online streaming because its the easiest, i dont care that much about image quality in anime

[Darkshine]

I watch anime online cause it's easy that way and it doesn't cost me anything. As long as the quality is acceptable I don't pay it no mind.

I'll download a 1080p upscale if I'm not watching any fansubs for a particular series. But since I tend to mostly follow fansubs, I'll put down 720p for my vote. I'll stream an anime on CR if I really want to watch it as soon as it is simulcasted (and not wait for Horriblesubs to rip it), but there's only ever been a few anime where I've actually done that. My first one was Gintama, 2nd was Kokoro Connect, and I forget what my 3rd was. I'm actually about to start doing the same for Captain Earth now that it's got me really interested.

 

I usually don't re-watch something in BD unless it's something I really enjoyed (it'd have to be in my top 20 for that to happen).

A major factor into whether I watch an anime or not is about the quality. Not saying I refuse to watch anything thats not BD but if its already out I'll prefer to watch that. Otherwise I download 720p. Its the perfect size for my laptop screen and the file size isn't outrageous so I can keep my anime hoarding habit. I refuse to delete anime I have downloaded. Especially since I got my 1Tb external hardrive.

[Aoi]

I always watch online where usual quality is 480p.

[dannyboo]

Actually I'd love to get the BDs when the series is really good but I seriously can't afford that..

New releases tend to have 3 - 4 episodes on a bd (which is an extreme waste of resources lol) and in addition

to that it costs too much.

Older releases with the whole series on one BD would be affordable and I'm thinking about buying some

of the Studio Ghibli movies as a starter.

[Scars Unseen]

I go for as high quality a release as I can.  If I really like a series, I'll get the Blu-Ray when it becomes available.

[Praeliator]

480 for me, most anime look good to me on my laptop monitor so it's not like I really need to watch anything higher than 480.

[hilbi]

I don't watch anything below 720p, I usually go for the 720p AAC. Sometimes you see FLAC as audio quality, but you are not going to hear much difference between the AAC and FLAC. FLAC is lossless, so it will sound identical to the original CD, but AAC compresses it so that you're not going to hear much difference without good speakers.

+ It will save you a lot of space on your HDD

[Pentinor]

720p for currently airing shows because 1080p is just upscaled. If I liked the show i'll usually get the BD in 1080p+FLAC unless its upscaled inwhich case just 720p. Harddrive space isnt an issue...(well it is sort of getting tight, but still have room)

[HMN]

i download anime in 1080p, i have a HD monitor so it's a waste not to use it

[Satsuki]

Dont have much storage, so I just go with 720p. Still good, but not take up too much space.

For BD, I only download if it's an ended anime ( since the BD go in full season, I dont need to download separate episode, too time consuming with a certain chance of some episodes have 0 seeder. ). If it's an airing one, I dont bother. ( I'm not a big fan of uncensored stuffs anyway )

[Niko]

As best as possible. Really, the only anime I watch in lower quality are older ones. Like, 96-.
