I only have these on my laptop(things that I haven't finished), the rest is on an external hard drive.
Most of my animes are already deleted because my friend told my teacher that my anime folder is filled with ecchi animes >< Not all actually, but my teacher already trusted my friend, so yeah.
After that incident, I usually stream, except for some episodes of some animes that I didn't get to watch because of my schedule.
lol what has your teacher to do with it?pondokers wrote:

That folder name is less embarrassing than having people think I watch animu
It's not a pure anime folder, the huge number of files mostly comes from manga
Im streaming my animes so i got no folder size

I actually created the folder a few days before a friend came over and stayed at my place for a week. I knew he'd be using the PC, so I created a folder with an obviously inappropriate name in an easy to find location and put in the first episode of Sailor Moon just to see if I could get a reaction out of him (totally worked btw). Then I just got lazy and started putting other anime/manga stuff in there, and by now I've kinda grown fond of the folder name. It's easy to find since it's always at the bottom of the alphabetically ordered list of folders on my harddrive.
So yeah, that's how my anime folder got its name.

70.9GB in one folder, 29.11GB in another. Just deleted 46.3GB of Anime a couple of days ago so that makes it....(too lazy to do math so opens calculator) 146.31GB out of 297GB. I mostly stream my Anime tho, just recently started downloading. Would do it more often if my internet wasn't crap.
Rest of HDD space are used in order of most to least by: Moe pics, Anisons, VNs, Other software(video players, image editors, etc.), Manga/LNs.

300 GB spare drive full of pirated chinese cartoons
Most of the M: things (and some of A:) is backlog of old anime I'm too lazy to watch…
The ones in D: are temporary files for the airing ones that I'm supposed to watch (60Go waiting to be DLed because I don't have enough time to watch them atm ~~)
Only 24GB, and that includes a few VNs.
I tend to stream most of what I watch rather than download.

My anime's backed up onto ext HDD over the years so I had this excel tracking sheet do the job of counting:
I guess it's not a lot with today's 1080p standard, but that was huge back in the old days where 640x480 is the standard distro =.=

I'm not blind, so no. Quality is just too poor. Sometimes 1080p streams can rival the TV broadcasts, but rarely and if the BDs are out, forget about it.Revy- wrote:
Seriously just stream the shit. Like it takes up so much space. If i were to download my Anime i would not have a computer anymore.
Some bittorrent clients support streaming the file and you can delete it afterwards, you know...
I'm at 3.67 TB + a bit on an external drive. My screenshots folder is 10 GB (15000 files).
I only torrent things I can't stream legally. Because you know what's good? Actually monetarily supporting the folks who provide you with your entertainment. :T Animators need to make money, too, y'know. They make too little as is already.
Also, stream video quality isn't actually that bad, provided you have a stable connection. Nobody needs 1080p during broadcast in general (most anime is made in 720p anyway, 1080p bluray releases are a different story) and streaming 720p isn't actually that bad. Not every stream is like the free video streams people are used to, ffs.

Keep in mind that outside US, the situation isn't quite as great. Basically cruchyroll is the only one accessible outside US, and it is only some shows you can watch. Even popular shows like Bakemonogatari, Madoka and Attack on Titan, were unavailable and still are. (This season actually wasn't too bad, several of the popular ones were available.)Mogsworth wrote:

I'm actually doing proper comparisons on video quality from time to time, I'm not someone that will simply sit and accept whatever shit is thrown to my face. I'm comparing against crunchroll against fansub encodes, also sometimes finding the TS from the Japanese TV broadcasts (which were quite interesting actually, if you are the slightest interested in video compression), to evaluate the fansub encodes better.Mogsworth wrote:

I'm mentioning the 1080p steams because they usually aren't too bad, upscale or not. They do still tend to have quite a bit of banding, and sometimes more significant issues. Varies from show to show though. The 720p have the same issues, just worse, so you would be better off watching the 1080p downscaled to 720p, than watching the provided 720p.
Well, yeah, the situation is different everywhere. I'd still say to legally stream when you can, as it does actually kick back money to people who do make your entertainment.Spiller wrote:

A lot of "I COULD simulcast legally but video quality" arguments come across as entitlement to me. Entitlement to believe that you shouldn't have to pay for your entertainment. Sure, if you can't legally acquire it where you are, that's one thing. But if an option presents itself and you have the ability to support the industry, even in a minuscule way, take it. Animators barely make living wages as is.Spiller wrote:

Of course, I have still pirated. But only shit I can't get legally in my country.
