But there are excuses:

-CR is a piece of shit that deserves no money
-Stream quality is awful
-A week is too long, the internet is full of spoilers
-Some translations aren't good

Downloading > streaming.

Stream quality is awful

The hell? What streams are you watching?

[(Anonymous)]

Not gonna touch the rest of it, but what exactly is wrong with CR? I use it and it's been consistently high-quality.

[(Anonymous)]

And geoblocks/only available for certain countries. Finding a work around is too much of a pain.

[(Anonymous)]

Pretty much. Streaming is always inferior.

I'm actually really pleased with CR's stream quality, but I've only recently been able to get the app to work for me. Before it wouldn't load any videos and would ask if I wanted a subscription. :/ (I'm not sure if it would work on my computer at all; some of those streaming sites lag or freeze my browser.)

The ads are really damn annoying (five times during a 22 minute episode is kind of ridiculous), but... It's doable, I guess. Just don't like waiting a week because I'm impatient (And you're right about spoilers).

I don't care how other people watch though; if I couldn't find something the legal way, I'd download or stream somewhere. I would rather download actually (because... A week is a long time!) but I'm paranoid about that kind of thing and try not to unless I have to.

lmao bc your respect means so much.

A personal story

[feotakahari]

I watched Tiger and Bunny on Hulu, and found most of the episodes in acceptable condition. One had borked subtitles, so I looked for alternatives and found a piracy site with fansubs. It's been a while, so I may be misremembering, but it felt like the fansubs were significantly better-written than the official subs and conveyed a lot more character.

Then the site tried to download a trojan onto my computer, and I went back to the borked subtitles on Hulu.

[ariakas]

How is pirating it any worse than watching it on a legal free site with Adblock?

[(Anonymous)]

If it's free, and I'm using adblock on everything, anyway, who gives a shit where I watch it?
A lot of times, the format of other video sites have a hell of a time running on my computer. So it's easier just to use Youtube's.

This is a really weird thing to pull moral superiority on.

Yes, all those Americans should be rounded up and sent to Japan to face their crimes (and the prison time). What's their saying? "Don't do the crime, if you can't face the time?" Time to pay the piper Americans.

[nailtek]

Man, I'm not going to wait a week for a stream of something when I can grab a download of it less than an hour after it airs. Never mind the fact that my tumblr and whatnot is usually full of spoilers and screenshots while the episode is still airing.
I mean, I'm all for the legal streaming sites but as of right now they aren't a viable option for me personally because my internet is too goddamn slow to load more than a two minute youtube video, never mind a decent quality 23~min episode of something. (case in point, it takes the better part of two hours to download a 300mb episode)

[(Anonymous)]

Why just the US?

[tabaqui]

If it's available for *free*...um...who cares if someone dl's the ep? Nobody is making money off it anyway, so...uh....???

I don't get it.

[(Anonymous)]

I was neither asking nor looking for your sympathy, so feel free to keep it all to yourself.

[(Anonymous)]

It's kind of a whatever issue for me, but nothing is more annoying than fans who think they are entitled to free media and at like there's absolutely nothing wrong with them illegally downloading. Like they have the ~right~ to watch anime for free. Like, download if you want, but at least acknowledge it's a mildly shitty thing to do.

[(Anonymous)]

I have no sympathy for you. What's your excuse for not fighting capitalism via piracy?

[(Anonymous)]

I'll get a subscription to whatever legal streaming site picks up Battle Spirits. I've been waiting since 2008. Still nothing.

[(Anonymous)]

*raises hand* So what if a person has a CR subscription and watches the streams on the site, but also downloads the fansubs because that particular show has very little chance of being licensed in the US? I watched all of Chihayafuru on CR and still downloaded the fansubs because there's no guarantee the streams will exist forever. If the show gets an official release I'll happily get rid of my fansubs but until then, I like having a guarantee that one of my favorite shows will not one day disappear from the net and I'll have no way of seeing it again.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm pretty sure if companies released free, subbed episodes at 1080p within 24 hours of the Japanese airing people would still find something to bitch about. Anime fans are some of the most entitled shits on the internet. And I say that as someone who remembers getting VHS fansubs in the mail.

[(Anonymous)]

yeah, sorry, but I'm not going to pay for shit like this: http://i.imgur.com/OWBu4L6.jpg

And that's one of the least obvious/horrible of the mistakes.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, if I want to try and watch postage stamp sized shows with shitty ads constantly bombarding me on fucking crunchyroll or whatever

Fuck that I'll take my goddamn 720p mkvs and watch them in glorious quality on my 23" monitor or my 32" TV set.

[(Anonymous)]

Shitty video quality punctuated by Larry the Cable Guy hawking antacids, versus HD episodes a week ahead without commercials. HMM, I WONDER WHICH ONE I SHOULD PICK?

[(Anonymous)]

Who says I need an excuse?
