What platform do you watch Anime on?

I am totally with you on the big screen experience via console. The difference between watching on a tiny 10-inch tablet versus a proper TV is night and day, especially for shows with top-tier animation like anything from Ufotable. It is just a whole different level of immersion when you can actually see all that detail.

I usually stick with Crunchyroll and just use Netflix on the side for their exclusives. It really comes down to what you're actually watching and how much you care about having a legal stream with consistent quality. The best part about Crunchyroll is getting the latest episodes almost immediately after they air in Japan, whereas Netflix is great for binge-watching full seasons in high quality with solid subtitles.

Currently, I’m watching anime on Netflix because the Crunchyroll app doesn’t work very well on my Samsung Smart TV and additionally requires a Samsung account. So for now, that has to be enough. Still, the selection is quite large. 🤩

I use Crunchy most of the time, it's easy and convenient for me and most of what I wanna watch is already there. Sometimes I use Hulu or Netflix but it's been awhile..

Mostly use Crunchyroll - sure, plenty of ports exist for sailors of the high seas, but I don't keep my computer hooked up to a television in my living room with a comfy couch. Watching anime on a couch on a decent-size TV is a vastly, vastly more pleasant experience for me than watching anime hunched over my laptop, and my smart TV (gotten for free from a previous roommate who was looking to downsize) let me have that experience with ease.

I use Crunchyroll and Hidive for the majority of new stuff, but I try my best to buy the DVDs of the shows I really like and ones that go on deep discounts on places like Amazon, Sentai Filmworks, and so on. As others have said, I have a bunch of shows on a hard drive as well that I normally just keep off to the side for travelling, deployments, or I can't find a particular show affordably on DVD or Crunchyroll.

Well there are many ways. if you want to watch them legally use crunchyroll or netflix but if you're into 🏴‍☠️… (i don't have to explain, just search "watch anime online for free")

I personally use animekai. Most of the anime are dubbed, it's free, and there is a very wide variety, although you have to search for the name of the Anime not just a subtopic or genre. They might also steal all your personal information and give you a virus, so I recommend getting a separate device that doesn't connect to any of your passwords or accounts.

I used to rely on Hianime and Animojo. Now Hianime is dead and Animojo doesn't upload ongoing anime anymore I had to switch to other sites. Still I use Animojo to download some anime since it has dual audio and small file sizes. Yeah privacy is always a risk. Not just with these sites, even some legit ones so just use a temp email and fake details
