AA Weekly Poll #13: Streaming vs Downloading - Angel Beats! - Jun 16, 2012
Hey AA, it's time for our weekly poll. For this one you are choosing your preferred method of watching anime! (Streaming vs Downloading specifically)
Last week's poll results:
By one vote, watching anime on a laptop was the most popular way to watch anime on AA!
This week's poll: Do you normally stream your anime, or watch a local copy (Download/dvd/etc...)?
This poll is really straight forward and only has 2 options. You're choosing which method of watching you use the most.

Feel free to leave a comment as to why you picked what you picked. This is not a debate thread. Poll is public and single choice only. Poll will close in 5 days.
I think it was sp3ctr3's turn but he forgot, and he's not on skype atm for me to remind him so whatever. Twice the fama for AA ^.^"
Know a good poll topic? PM me or PM Sp3ctr3 and your topic may (actually almost probably will, we're running out of ideas; SERIOUSLY, pm us) be the next AA poll!

Same, crunchyroll 4 lyfe! If it's not available to stream legally I'll usually pirate it, and buy any show that I like if it's not too expensive and actually available to buy.

Download all the way. Its free, fast, better quality, and since their files I can watch them on my TV or when I dont want fuck my bandwidth.

I normally buy there as well although I have bought some series on iTunes because I had credit w/ nothing else to buy.

I always stream Anime episodes because my internet sucks when downloading stuffs.
* - KinGxKeV - Jun 16, 2012
I stream the majority of my anime but there are some series I have downloaded so I can watch them whenever
* - KernelMode - Jun 16, 2012
I always stream. If I can't find it on youtube (in good quality)/netflix/hulu/crunchyroll then I download.
* - Programmargorp - Jun 17, 2012
Download, The mini mkv version filesize is just too epic to pass up.
* - Fox - Jun 17, 2012
I download all of my anime because you could watch them anytime, even without an internet connection.
I'm also able to share them and/or convert them so that I could watch them on other devices such as my iPhone.

Most of the time I stream episodes, but sometimes if I have time I will download them so I don't have to watch ads on hulu.
* - Ƨhadow - Jun 17, 2012
Downloading, but it doesn't seem have to counted my vote in the poll. Unfortunate.
* - b a e - Jun 17, 2012
I prefer to stream because I get these sudden impulses to watch anime, and by the time I download the anime I Want to watch I feel like doing something else.
* - SIM-524734 - Jun 17, 2012
I prefer my anime streamed if possible, but if I can't find a good stream, I will always download it :)
