Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

I am a lazy ass bastard who doesn't want to download, watch, then delete. I don't have unlimited space after all. Not to mention that I don't pay super attention to shininess because I typically attention myself towards the subtitles.

how about you try downloading anime before you decide its for elitest hipsters
and chris, even the subtitles are much better looking if you download.

To be fair, Vespis, I don't think all streams are that poor in quality. >___>

Downloading can bring in viruses though.

Well considering I can actually watch one, and the other makes me want to gouge my eyes out.


Streamed


Downloaded



Sorry that I like watching anime, not visual artifacts.
This post is 100% not valid. The quality you get on official streams is much higher than this.

If you're going to non-official streaming websites and expecting high quality, you're doing it wrong.

Yeah, that looks like 240p. >__> You can watch Haruhi on say, Youtube for example at 720p.

Either way, you could have made switching to 1080p downloads...

That's because Rewrite is more valuable to me than animus.

I think I prefer downloading over streaming mainly because back in Ecuador, my connection was so spotty that streaming took ages to buffer, while downloading took about as long, was better quality, and also didn't have me pausing and unpausing and buffering all the time.

Now I just like the higher overall quality, because I like shiny things, as well as the fact that I can just plug the PC into my TV and watch there, and rewatch what I want to when I want to and without any extra steps to get to my content. That said, I have external storage for all my animu crap, so space isn't a worry.

I really don't care if someone streams anime or not. But for someone to claim that the quality is comparable is a completely incorrect statement.

I'll give you that. However, for some, like myself, we just don't notice it if there's not two side-by-side screenshots. I've downloaded episodes for some series if I couldn't find them to stream easily, for example, and I don't recall thinking that they were such better quality that I had to switch to downloading all the time. Sometimes you just don't really notice things if they're not important to you.

I don't think anybody is arguing that (at least I wasn't). Just that you -can- get (relatively) high quality from streaming. The only reason t stick strictly to downloads is if you're a qualitywhore, which is fine, but not everybody cares that much about quality.
