take that crap back to /co/

does streaming series you dont really give a shit about count.

Does it count if I still watch the releases in 720p then retorrent the 1080p when it comes out?

<People who watch via stream

>Ponyo

You are lower than a casualfag OP.

>iPhone, iPod, PSP, etc

I'm on a train 5 hours every day, and by the time I get home, I need to go to sleep.

fuck you I'm keeping my VHS player, I've got too many memories with that thing to forsake it.

With my next computer purchase, I'll try for an i7, so 1080p shouldn't be a a problem. I'm on a 3.4 year old laptop right now, so 720p is still fine for cartoons.

I don't really feel that most anime have anything worth to show past 720p anyway. You're just usually upscaling at that point.

>>28756295
Sure.
Rewatching it in higher quality as they're released is the sign of a dedicated fan.

>iPhone, iPod, PSP, etc
> I can't afford these, so everyone who has one is a casualfag.

I'm glad to say that I'm High Tier, and would be part of the Master Race if I had better internet, and wasn't too poor to afford sufficient storage space.

I watch 1080p downscaled to 1680x1050, due to monitor resolution limitations. The quality is still pretty fucking good, through.

>People who don't watch anime anymore, but only read manga
= Above Master Race

>Implying that most anime is drawn/animated in a high enough quality to justify watching it in 1080p

Pic related. Not only does it describe how I feel, but it's a screenshot I took from streaming One Piece. Delicious artifacts. Feels good, bro

I'm between XVid and 720p.

OP = Quality whore

Brb, downloading avi reencodes just to spit you.

>>28756393
Fuck you, if you can run 1080p, do it!

My PC won't even run 720p as you know. Old shit.

Your lovely DJ.

>>28756414
It's ironic that you'd use One Piece as an example since it's one of the VERY few anime that is actually animated in full 1080p today.

Ponyo also takes full use of 1080p.

I'm usually a member of the Master Race but I do sometimes associate with the High Tier when there are no Master Race encodes or when they are needlessly large (500MB for one episode is a waste of HDD no matter how good the show is or how much storage you have).

I'm sorta like a royal with a taste for nobles once in a while.

>>28756269
you forgot laserdisc, the real god tier. its not like any new series come out that are worth watching

FUCK YEAR MASTER RACE!

>xvid:
in the old days when the master race watched their anime on a modded xbox with xbmc.

newfags dont know about my xbmc.

720p. I don't have a bigger monitor, so..

Wait? People are still using other formats than .mkv?

laughingman.jpg

I watch only 720p on my 42" Full HDTV since you can't tell a shit between 720p and 1080p from normal distance therefore it's just space and time lose (not that I really lose much from my 2 TB HDD and fast bandwidth).

My download speed is fucking shit plus I have a monthly cap, so I generally just stick to 720.

I have a cheap netbook with 1024x600 resolution. Do you honestly think I need 1080p anime? Hell, just the sight of that video would make the thing have a nervous breakdown.

I can run 1080p but woul hae to down scail it or let part of the image get cut off.
Down scailing looks like shit becase I still use shity cccp on Win7.

>>28756411
Only if you're reading it in +10MP per page.

This makes streamers the slaves right?

I am low tech and still watching VHS and sometimes purchased DVDs. Is this bad?

What's wrong with Ponyo again? Is it just some butthurt anon or something?

>>28756603
plus 720p is more than enough than lines and colours

>>28756414
Well, 1080p does make bad stuff barely tolerable. I've watched Tayutama recently: it it wasn't 1080p, I'd most likely drop that shit right then and there.

I don't really see the point in going out of my way to find 1080p when 720p is just fine.

That being said, if I find the high high end content I'm more than happy to torrent it, even if the video gets downscaled on my TV.

>>28756336
You don't need a high end quad core processor for 1080p as long as you have a good NVIDIA card with CUDA support.

>>28756593
mkv is a container retard, not a codec.

>>28756723 NVIDIA card with CUDA support.

>implying you actually NEED an nvidia graphics card to have gpu accelerated videos.

>>28756269
I'd classify as all of those.

I watch stuff in XVID.

I stop torrents when they are done and I don't seed even though I have a glorious upload rate.

There is an exception to the streaming rule
>Streaming anime LIVE from Japan = Super Weeaboo Master
Bonus points if it's airing at a retarded time.

>>28756870
If you have a glorious upload, you will in 99% of all cases upload more than you leeched before you even complete the torrent.

I have a 30Mbit upload and that's how it is for me, always.

To the naysayers, bear in mind that:

1080p = 2,073,600 pixels
720p = 921,600

1080p has 225% the amount of pixels 720p does. If you're watching shit, it'll still be shit, but 1080p is know to cause visual orgasm on a descent monitor, with the right stuff.

>>28756909
> Watching anime LIVE IN Japan = Super Weeaboo Maste

>>28756774

Ooh, thanks. Yeah, going through Eva on English-dub VHS right now. It's a retro as hell experience

>>28756800

Because the faggots at CoreCodec sold their assholes to Nvidia you will need one of their cards (until CoreAVC 2.2 is released, that is, which will include DXVA support)

>CoreAVC 2.2
When will they relase this shit already?!

>>28757007
As far as I know, pure (non CUDA) DXVA solutions have several limitations related to the stream being handled.
And since CUDA is likely to gain strength in the near future, specially considering the nature of the new GeForce series that'll be released soon, going nVidia may not be a bad idea.

Most anime is upscaled for 1080p.

>>28757007
bitches dont know about my MPC with DXVA support on both ati and nvidia gpu's.

playing glorious h264 videos at 1080p res with 0% cpu utilization.

Master Race only when it's not upscaled bullshit. Which means rarely Master Race.

I am JUDEN

I don't really give a fuck so long as it's not stream, try finding older stuff in anyhting else but xvid at best.

>>28757317
>older stuff
what the fuck

>implying anime is drawn with 1080 in mind
Enjoy your extra lines that don't add anything.

>>28757491
Enjoy making up excuses as to why you don't need to upgrade.

No-one actually encodes 1080p right, so it just looks like really nice 720p.

>>28756269
Info for op if you want to increase your viewing experience: train your visual field, read a book using your peripheral vision from all angles, as in read using areas of your vision around the center and move out as you get used to it, try balancing the directions of where your expanding your visual field. Eventually you can read stuff without looking at it directly. Also makes movies of high quality fucking ridiculous, its like you see the entire screen at once, but you won't know what I mean until you actually try. Another way to improve your viewing experience is actually to cover 1 eye. This is because when you watch a movie with two eyes, your eye interprets the image as being flat, since you have triangulation and stereoscopic vision and all, also your brain has to interpret more information since both optic nerves are busy sending information, even though one nerve bundle is pretty much sending redundant information.

>>28757676
Your brain also has to handle putting those two images together, causing it to do extra work, also sacrificing visual field. However, if you use one eye, there is no set interpretation caused by stereoscopic vision (triangulation) from two eyes, leaving the interpretation of distance up to the brain (that means you!) so the image can to you be as far away or as close as you interpret it to be, and can even seem 3d. The only bio-physical factor which cues your mind to distance in this case is the focus of your pupil, meaning that watching a movie too close to the screen will still strain your eyes. Also using one eye in a dark environment may even allow your field of vision to completely fill the entire area of the screen, (it is a feeling like that the screen is the only thing that exists, normally you need drugs for this feeling). This is also due to the fact that your mind only has to interpret one image from one eye, (its 2d anyways, you don't need two copies of the same image) allowing your brain to put more processing on that image, and therefore extending the visual field.

enjoy your shitty watered down bluray rips

Why would you download when you could stream?

>>28756269
>iPhone, iPod, PSP, etc
actually these are definitely not casualfags. they are just not hikikomori. besides I dont need to watch all shows in HD. I can save my time in front of the PC only for the good shows.

>feeling superior based on something completely irrelevant and unimportant as the video quality of pirated anime
get a fucking life faggot. read a book.

I'm between High and Master. I only get highly anticipated or amazing series in 1080p, the rest in 720p. Then I play it on my 42'

>>28757144
Too bad that the video quality is shitty with nvidia cards otherwise, as opposed to ATI.

>>28757186
MPC uses the libavc code for AVC (aka x or h264), and as far as I know the DXVA implementation in it is not that good. Rather uneffective, and it is impossible to use it with injected fileters and plugins (such as ffdshow and DirectVobSub)

>>28757802
Assburnt cause his mom's computer is too old to play even 720p.

A lot of the shows I watch were originally 4:3 because I am not a faggot.

>>28757676
alt: watch Bakemonogatari, trying to see everything on the screen. I started noticing a lot more things after a few episodes.

>>28757850
>>28757850
nice try, but MY pc can handle anything i toss at it.
but i'll just save drive space by getting xvid or 720p at the most.

>i like to make shit up as i go

>>28757693
You'll know when this is working when you can watch 1080p movies at a reasonable distance and never have to move your eye. Just stare straight at the center of the screen and your eye will be able to pick up everything even without moving your eye, even subtitles. That way you don't have to move your eye away from the action to read subtitles every again, you can watch both at the same time. If you concentrate, you might be able to enter a sort of superlearning trance, if you've ever heard of it where everything seems heightened, and more intense, this is the best thing that can happen to you when watching an hd movie as it your perception feels like it's been pumped up to insane levels.

720p here, my internet suck ass so i'm fine with it

>>28757693

When we are childs our eyes work like this when they watch a screen. The reason why we learn to just focus on specific spots is because all the impressions overloads the brain, and results in stress, confusion, and even mental illness. Kids who were brought up in front of televisions almost enters a drugged state when they watch TV, as many here probably know.

I watch Railgun and Erin in HD. I watch anime in HD if available.

I am master race.

>>28757926
>xvid or 720p at the most

You are either a complete idiot, or your PC is not nearly as good as you think (saving space, really? Do you know how much a 1TB HDD costs nowadays?).

Sorry, too busy re watching trunks movie on vhs

>>28758093
Awesome aniki too bad I can't find my BD version on HDD right now...

>>28758089
your logic is retarded, why waste money when he doesn't mind watching xvid or 720p animu and save space.

the truth is, and we all know this......
everyone who watches anime streams half the time, sure sometimes we download a whole 26 episode series that's already finished, or occasionally download a new anime in 720p, but half the time, what are we really doing? streaming.... i know this, because I have seen this, yeah we all have our hd collections, but thats only half the story. why do we stream? because you have to finish a download in order to watch it, why is this a problem because we are impatient bastards

I'm just higher tier.
;_;
I can't afford a better graphics card, and a 19" monitor isn't worthy of it anyway.

with a stupid 2Ghz dual core processor and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 BD rips are no problem... true that from time to time they eat up to 80% of the CPU, but there is no lag at all. So I don't really understand the problem with BD rips.

>>28758215
I only stream anime when I'm at a friends house and I don't want to download shit to their PC.

>>28758215
most people I know download animu.

I stream anime I don't care about enough to keep on my hard drive or that I'm not sure I'll finish, other than that XVid, seeing as both computers I own are crap at HD. Luckily I'm getting a decent PC for christmas if all goes well.

>>28758215
lolno

>>28758215
I DDL most of my anime, takes at most 5min to download an ep. Thus I watch a show while the other downloads. never stream

>>28756269
Master race since I discovered CoreAVC and how to enable CUDA decoding.
Feels good man.

>>28758215

I've streamed like four times. The ads aren't worth it...

>>28758196

Agreed. If it works, why fix it. If you hate blurriness, you can get your HD shit. If you want faster downloads you can get .avi. Who cares.

what torrent site do you guys use mainly for 1080p anime?

>>28758215
the truth is: I only watch streamed stuff, because I don't care enough.
