Boku wa Tomodachi finished 2nd season

Except my opinion is the right one which makes it a fact.

Reno, he's right.

About what? I didn't even know what he was talking about.

Downloading is a lot better than streaming.

well yeah of course

but finding a safe link and having space on HD is a bitch

also you have to be connected to the net the whole time

and net can crap out any sec since I live in Hawaii and even though I got "high speed" it is still craps.

Liked this season alot more than the first season, gonna be a while before the 3rd season because of the Light Novels.

As for the super cereal streaming vs dl argument... I stream things off crunchyroll on my ps3, high def, gets most animes the day they air in Japan, and i can watch them on my TV without having to do any rewiring(costs like 7 bucks a month, but I've wasted my money on much more pointless things). I torrent things that aren't on crunchyroll. I've found both to be fine ways of watching anime... Just sayin.

I liked both seasons actually

but remember the first season was mostly about character intros and character development and only at the end were there increase in plot

2nd season was more about character and plot development and a only a few character intros

2 tbs exhdd is only 90$.

Just delete it afterwards and your 100gb hdd can deal with it.

Move to different state?

And torrent will be fine even when you're disconnected from internet, it'll just pick back up where it left off when you're reconnected.

Otherwise, just suck up and live with your beaches.

Doesn't matter if you watch stream or not. As long you fucking watch it, no matter how bad the quality is.
And then i go buy the fucking DVD to support the makers of that anime or movie.

I save the bds on the exhdd.. i have a lot of them over the years.

But you are enjoying the wrong things and intentionally feeding yourself mcdonalds when you can have a fully made to order top of the line burger made by a world class chef for the same price.

I doubt you buy the original DVD/BD which is the only way to decently support the creators. Do you know how much it costs to license a single episode? It can be as cheap as $500 an episode which over the course of an entire season of episodes is pretty much pennies when it comes to real business. Source of this info is from a friend who ran a business who worked closely with NA licensers doing their subtitles so its quite legit.

Been wondering for a while now- what anime is this?

Call me stupid but I stream because its more convenient. Some of the anime I watch streamed I can't find a decent torrent of anymore (no seeders). I wanted to watch the Tekeman Blade series, couldn't find a lively torrent of it, but a website had all episodes. Sorry, but I'm too lazy to download episodes and then delete them when I'm done. I want the luxury to just play and move on (Buffering isn't even a problem for me anymore). If I cared about quality, then I'd pay for it.

Not only did it take me only 15 seconds to find a well seeded torrent of that show and the OVA, you are also under the assumption that the paid version has better quality. This is incorrect or placebo for the most as R1 DVDs/BDs are a lower quality than the fansub equivalent of a TV rip in some cases or the Japanese BD which is 99.9% of the time has better quality. If you are a real qualityfag you follow the Italians, or specifically the company Dynit which has a real encoder with experience who scene filters the shit out of releases and produces better quality than the Japanese do. If you grabbed UTW's (Meguca) release of Madoka and checked the screenshot comparisons you would see the difference between the Japanese and Italian. Anyway, given the compression tools we have in today's world you would not be able to tell the difference between a Japanese BD source and an encoded release for anime, especially while in motion. You may be able to tell the difference in still frame by frame comparison but no one cares if a few pixels are off due to grain that would require an extra 4gb (waste of space and BLOAT) to fix.

Also CR video quality sucks compared to Japanese TV in most cases. Not all but a lot of cases this holds true. They also like to forget to decimate things and keep dupe frames in the video.

Oh and enjoy your WORDS

Are you sure it was the original Tekkaman blade and not Tekkaman Blade 2? Anyways, whatever, like I said, I just want to play the video and move on. There's no need to wait for the files to download. Besides, there's a chance I may not like the anime series. I'd be pretty pissed off if I spend time waiting for something to finish downloading only to find out that the content sucks balls, or I get a virus from the contents. I also get pissed when I download a episode, and it turns out the video is out of sync with the audio (for the life of me, I don't know why it does that sometime.). With streaming, all I have to do is watch it. If I like it, I'll watch another one, if not, I'll move on to the next one. Quality is the only thing I'm missing out on and I don't give a rats ass about that. Its not that big of a difference really.
