5T4R Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Explanation: I've watch Anime at different websites. The best so far quality I've ever watch was at KissAnime, able to watch up to 1080p and the audio quality is much more better than I've watch at different sources so far. Question: Where can you watch HQ / HD anime other than KissAnime? I don't mind watching low quality, but watching HQ / HD is much more better. With better Audio & Video, I tend to enjoy it more. (Such selfishness) I have this habit where, when I start a thread. I would make it Visually Appealing. Sorry if it bothers you somehow. It's just a habit where I started many years back. 本当にご免なさい Hontōnigomennasai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosakyun Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 From what I've seen, kissanime is that one site where people can, indeed, watch HQ/HD anime episodes. I wouldn't know though. I'm part of the DLrace after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dale Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I download 1080p anime for various websites/torrents. It's a pain for my HDDs but still when watching on a 100" screen 1080 it's is a must. What I can buy I buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decay Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 If I really care about quality, like if it's a visually intense action show such as Fate/Stay Night, I just use torrents on *. It's not a hassle since you can set up rss feeds that will automatically start downloading the episode almost as soon as it's posted. But most of the time I can't even be bothered to do that and just watch stuff on kissanime. They do reencode the videos so there is some quality loss but they've gotten a lot better at that over the last year. Most of the back catalog of stuff uploaded last year looks a good bit worse but if the visuals aren't important then I don't care. I'm from the generation who started on anime by watching super-low-res shitty encodes 14 years ago. A slight amount of blurriness when I go to watch a random nichijou episode or whatever doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolverk Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I almost never use streaming.. If I do I just google for the episodes. Otherwise I use bakabt and * for torrents at 1080p, bluray preferable. If I really care about quality, like if it's a visually intense action show such as Fate/Stay Night, I just use torrents on *.

Schnarf Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 crunchyroll, if you're willing to pay i use kissanime for any anime CR doesn't stream i occasionally torrent 1080p batches from [no linking or mentioning torrent sites] or bakabt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5T4R Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 W-whoa, nobody stream Anime like I do? I don't really like downloading. Personally, I think downloading takes quite more time than streaming it. (Don't really know where to download) But if there's any good place to watch HQ / HD Anime, feel free to share!

Kosakyun Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 It's just that downloading preserves the episodes in your hard disk, and can be shared and watched as long as you have access to those files, for example, in a hard drive. And also, not all people have the luxury of fast internet speed. I understand that you can load episodes fast since, well, Singapore. Meanwhile, mine would take me at least an hour to load one, given that it's on 1080p. 1GB worth of data is usually downloaded in a span of more or less an hour. You can now see how slow it is. And that's why I don't stream, my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosakyun Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 In that case, Coalgirls would be perfect for you, although they are an anime BD/TV encoding group w/english subs and not a streaming site. They seem to have anime series' with the best Audio/Video quality imo, but the filesizes on average are quite large due to the lossless audio & high bitrate video encodes they use. UTW & FFFansubs are also a noteworthy mention, especially with their filesize:quality ratio in comparison to Cg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnarf Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Coalgirls enthusiast here, and I can testify to his claim. Coalgirls undoubtedly has the best audio and video quality for me. However, their filesizes are absurd. Kara no Kyoukai's 7 movies total to 26GB. Monstrous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yatsufusa Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Thanks for sharing these torrent link! I appreciate it. You know, I've never torrent any Anime before, so I don't know how does a 1080p "torrent" Anime looks like. I'm gonna give it a try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosakyun Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I can remember the year 2000 well, with my friend bringing me two burned CD-Rs containing the entire Evangelion series in .RM format. It did not look pretty, but somehow that didn't matter. Nowadays I'm such a whore for quality. You kids don't know how hard we had it!

Tenkuru Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 When I do stream, kissanime is a pretty good site to go to. As for downloading anime, bakabt is where I get most of my anime. Although if you want to download from there, be sure to make sure that your client is on their whitelist before downloading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decay Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I don't like steraming at all... but let's do a little calculation: 1 anime 24 episodes, let's say 1080 bluray + flac = about 1GB per episode than the whole download is about 30GB 1Gbps connection (about 100MB/s since I'm not the only user) 30G/100MB/s= about an hour. I won't get this kind of quality on a stream and for me it's ok to wait that hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I think we will see the newer generation of anime viewers who won't watch old animes. Because the quality is so "bad" 480p omg. I recently watched a anime from 2009. I was shocked it wasn't that high res and quality. Been watching only 1080p and bluray discs now days, getting outright pampered lol.

dale Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Hot torrent tip: When downloading a batch torrent, highlight all of the video files within that torrent in utorrent, right click, and select prioritize by file order. This will download the episodes sequentially so you can start watching from the first episode within minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decay Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Too much of a pain? Click a file, and press ctrl+a to select all of them. Or select the first one, press shift+end. Well, as one of the world's laziest persons, I feel for you. Schnarf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dale Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 That's true for a client with a GUI, I use a text based client that runs as a deamon on a seed box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagisa_Fawkes Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I'm also part of the downloading party. I use mainly [no linking or mentioning torrent sites], and I hate BakaBT.... I always take the 720p versions, my screen isn't big and good enough for it to make a difference in relation to 1080p, and is also lighter on my HDD anyways.

Jibril Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 A lot of old series are getting bluray releases and look perfectly gorgeous on them. Almost everything that is worth watching (except probably some old unknown OVAs and a few hidden gems) will probably eventually get a bluray release, it's already quite incredible that Evangelion didn't get one (well they do lack proper master for ep 16 and a few other parts). I'm pretty sure people will still find excuses to not watch "old" anime though lol. Although the day someone tells me something from 2009 is old I'm really gonna cry. That's probably because of the Rebuild movies. Though I say that still doesn't give enough reasons to not do a bluray remaster... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
