    How do you watch your anime? Online? On TV? How?
    Do you like dubs, subs or raws best? Or all of these?

    I watch mine on my computer mostly because I like to watch with subs. I do happen to have some DVDs as well but I only get the ones that included the Japanese subs. I just happen to prefer to watch it that way. To each his own. =3

    I watch mine online because America has NO Anime channel that I know of. D:

    I usually watch it subbed or sometimes Raw.

    Although I Prefer the Raws, I have to use subs, not for series such as One piece, I watch it enough that I understand everything they say.. and I always stream my anime.

    There's an anime channel on IO if you're willing to pay for every episode you watch. Anyway, I watch my anime online because they only anime that comes on TV is on extremely late for no reason and is on once a week.

    Well, I have here a TV channel called Animax, and the animes there are really nice. Like Death Note, Blood+ and etc.

    Anyway, the animes that I love are only avaliable on internet, so I download them :D

    Unlike most of you, I'm actually willing to stay up late to watch the anime on Adult Swim, so that's my primary source. I also own quite a few DVDs, though I rarely watch them in Japanese with English subtitles. I watch the rest of my anime online, either on YouTube or the Adult Swim website; if I can't find an English dub, I just settle for the raw Japanese.

    If I' just testing anime out or really can not wait for an update in an anime that I like then I will watch them on line. Other than that then I buy them on DVD, I don't like watching them online really and guarenteed I will buy anything I like on DVD.

    Well I watch most of them online because they are not available in US. And it probably will take the US companies about two to three years for the anime to get here. I can't wait that long, so I download them with subs.

    When it comes available on DVD in the US, I will buy it. And plus I been watching a few on Adult Swim. I used to have The Anime Network, but my cable company got rid of it. And ADV dropped the channel. So no more The Anime Network. What a bummer. T_T

    And the way I watch the DVDs, sometimes I will start watching them Japanese with English subs, and then I will watch it again in dub. Or vice versa. But sometimes the dub is better than the Japanese, so I will watch it dub first and then I will watch it Japanese.

    I try to watch it RAW, but that didn't work for me. I couldn't understand of what they are saying most of the time. I need subs. XD

    Oh yeah sometimes I watch a few by a stream, but the viewing quality is limited. So I don't watch them in a stream all the time. I forgot about that. XD

    I download them because well, that's only way I can obtain them.
    I hate streaming them on youtube since the quality ruins the experience for me.
    I watch with subs, because without them, I wouldn't understand a freakin' thing xD

    For most of the few animes I watch, I stream online. Otherwise, I'll download them if I'm really into the series.

    I'd like to buy the DVD sets but they're incredibly overpriced compared to what my cousin pays for hers overseas so in comparison, I don't bother. Plus the fact that hardly any anime are broadcast here, bar the few commercial series, pretty much leaves me with stream/downloading as my only option.

    I usually go to Otakucenter.com, Youtube.com, Veoh.com, to watch anime that is not avaliable in the US. If the anime I want to watch is avaliable in the US, then I go to Adult Swim.

    There's no anime channels here unless you pay loads of money for a cable company that connects with overseas channels, so I download all of mine or stream it on sites like YT. I mainly watched them subbed, unless there's one which I know enough about to be able to watch it raw.

    Apart from a couple of DVDs, I download all of my anime. I usually watch subs, but there are some dubs that I like.

    I download anime from the interwebz; I'm a LimeWire pirate. The justification for this is that there are no anime channels in this country.

    I watch anime online and prefer subs to dubs. However, there IS an anime channel I can watch if I subscribe to cable over here... Its okay, their dubs are reasonably done, but the variety of anime they show is... meh. :/ The channel replays the anime over and over again. Of course, a nice re-run of Ranma and CCS would be nice, but after awhile, it gets repetitive. XD

    Subs online, for me!

    I mainly watch mine online because of the subs. I used to loved dubbed anime, but then as time went on... I started disliking it more and more for all of the changes. So I prefer subbed now. :3

    I usually purchase DVDs, since I normally find it difficult to locate the anime I desire to watch online. However, if I can find the anime I want online, I will download them onto my computer instead of buying them.

    As for whether I prefer subs over dubs, it depends on the anime. Sometimes, I will prefer a dub over a sub whereas other times I will prefer a sub over a dub.

    I never watch raw anime, since I do not know Japanese and are therefore unable to understand what the characters are saying without subs.
