To put it in a better way;

How do you get or watch the anime you have or seen?

Download? BT? YouTube? manga? LimeWire? TV? Friend? DVD's? VHS?

I, myself, have dial-up, so I don't get much anime, i'm more of a manga reader. The main mangas I read are Naruto, Bleach and One Piece online.

When it comes to Anime, I have connections. Meaning I have friends who download alot of Anime, so I usually get alot from them, but as of late, the only two anime i'm keeping track of from Japan are "School Rumble: 2nd Term" and "Death Note"

Another way I see anime is on TV. Cartoon Network seems to have alot of anime that they show now. but the main one I watch is Bobobo-Bo-Bo-Bobo. I love that anime, it;s one of those anime where you eaither LOVE it or you HATE it. there really is no in between. Adult Swim also plays alot of anime late night. A time in which i'm always around for, so, anime like: Ghost in the Shell, Full Metal Alchemist, Trinity Blood, FLCL, Cowboy Bebop, Erueka Seven, S-Cry-Ed, and much more. they even used to play older anime back in the days like: Speed Racer and Robotech.

If I had highspeed internet, my "collection" of anime would be much much bigger.

So, how do you guys get your anime/manga?

Anime: All we get over here are the popular children's series, like Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Zatch Bell, and a few others. I usually don't watch them, as I'm not a big fan of most of them. ^^;;
I don't download either. I don't think it's right.

Manga: If I want it, I'll have to order online now. The manga selection here is very lacking. :/

Anime: I watch the majority of them on YouTube. And I used to use LimeWire a lot, but I've recently stopped now. It was really slow, and I didn't really like it. Adult Swim has a lot of animes now, so I occasionally watch some on there.

I also get a few from friends.

Manga: Actually, there's a Barnes and Noble about 30 mins away from my house. I sometimes go there. I'm really happy there's one that's close to where I live at. :D

you can't really find anything on Limewire, I must admit.

Youtube is good if you have a faster conncection than Dial-up (Which I have)

I don't buy manga at my local bookstore. mainly because I am farther than where the English manga is.

I love storys, so once I'm as far as I can go in an anime, I start looking for the latest manga (Naruto, Bleach)

One Piece, I couldin't stand the anime anymore (English OR Japanese) too many fillers and it seemed like it kept on dragging on and on and on.

So now every week I DL me a scanlated manga of the latest chapter.

Just last week two BIG BOMBSHELLS happened in Naruto and One Piece.

Naruto, we learn Akatsuki's ultimate goal, and in One Piece, we learn who Luffy's father is :O

I've also got some old VHS of some anime, mainly Guyver and Generator Gawl. and I recorded Azumanga Daioh off my friends DVD's as well as Love Hina.

Manga: I download it. Though, I can buy it if I really want to do so...

Anime: I download it at BitComet and/or watch it at YouTube.

Lately, I use Youtube to watch some series. Generally I download some off Limewire. I'd buy more, if there was more available in my town.
I have a few VHS with anime, though. Bought those when I was in the city a few times. However, I'm not going to spend 45 euro per VHS every time.
If only Jetix would stop airing crap and air more interesting anime. =/

Anime: I just watch it on the TV.

Manga: I either check it out from the library or buy from the bookstore.

Libraries have manga?

I don't go to my library anymore. They have "Death Warrents" on me, from not giving books back and such.

[Mini Update] When I do buy manga, I buy the Japanese, at a Japanese bookstore in San francisco

The only manga I am currently purchesing(Because I cannot find scanlated manga anywhere online) are Pocket Monsters Special, Wangan Midnight and Initial D.

Something interesting in the world of "AnimeSubs" Dattebayo has stated that they will no longer sub Naruto. Which is odd since they named their subgroup after naruto's most used phrase. (Most likely because of licencing issues finally caught up with them.)

However, they announced that they will start subbing Pocket Monsters: Diamond and Pearl. I guess finding Subbed Pokemon anime will be a little bit easier, too bad I dispise the anime.

YouTube, or Veoh/Daily Motion/Live Video. For manga, I go to the Unrivaled Gallery, or this anime site I have forgotten.

I don't reallt watch anime like I used to anymore...

Yeah, libraries have manga, but the stupid ones that no one will read. -_-;;
