In order to give you the best response i can. I need to go back at least 10 years, and at the end I'll explain why i answered it this way. Torrents or DDL's have always been my favorite way to watch Anime. Downloading gives me the freedom to watch/rewatch shows when I decide to. For almost 20 years now, ever since regular tv programing was lost on November 5, 2007 when The Writers Guild of America went on strike. On Nov 6, 2007 I returned every cable box to the cable company, cancelled service and changed to an Internet only account. Since then I've been on an Anime only diet 24/7/365. DDL's (Direct Download Links) make up most of the files I've gotten. Torrents are only used when a DDL isn't available. The reason being, because torrents run on public trackers. If big brother decides they want to find and make an example of someone. A tracker will give them the evidence they need. Things like, how much Anime has been downloaded,how much has been reshared, By the amount of bandwith used on torrent client, Location of the client( Torrent application), and more. Most free users can't even afford a VPN. Which will cover your tracks, so you don't have to take risks, by exposing yourself on a tracker. For the sake of convienence, I also watch Anime on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, when im in my living room. Of the three services, Amazon Prime is the best for Anime. Whoever it is that decides which Anime Amazon will offer its subscribers, knows as much about Anime as a fan/otaku with over 20 years of experince watching daily. Why did I go back 10 years to 2015? In 2017, the Anime industry in Japan was taken control of by hollywood studios(corporate America). They have almost completely changed Anime from what it once was, for decades. Into little more than garbage(sadly) It only looks like Anime. Its closer to pseudo-Anime(Cartoons created in Anime studios.) They look like Anime but thats as far as it goes. One of the first things that happened was budgets were whacked in half. Rather thats all they would offer to pay for a new show to be made. And if a studio said not enough. They didn't care. Take it or leave it, we don't care one way or the other. And so the 1 million average budget for 12 episdoes. is now less than 500k. Let me know if your interested in learning more about Anime decline in quality. Ill send a PM to you.
