Does anyone use YouTube to watch anime?

I don't know why you would watch anime on Youtube of all places. The quality is always horrible, I watched about 3 episodes of AOT on Youtube before switching to literally anything else.

No, but I used to with Super Dragon Ball Heroes before I dropped it. I watch anime on a pirated site too.

I only use YouTube if it's 5 min OVA/Music video.

no lmao

in 2007 maybe

I use YouTube to watch things like Serial Experiments Lain and Monster which are only on YouTube

I used to watch it a little bit on youtube like 10+ years ago i guess but i quickly found much better places. Ill sometimes pull up a cool scene if i get nostalgic on youtube though.

I watch anime on YouTube uploaded by the official channels. Example - Atashin'chi episodes are uploaded by the official channel. They're fun to watch! Same with Oishinbo

I know you can legally watch I, Tsushima (hands-down AOTS) on youtube too

Other than those examples, I wouldn't consider YouTube the best place to watch seasonal anime as the quality is usually low and the uploaders usually having to speed up the episode or something similar to avoid the video being taken down

Years ago..

Legal channels like muse asia and ani-one provide some quality anime except for that no

when i watched aikatsu yes

I watched Samurai Champloo on it, that's all

Only use to watch clips but not too much to spoil me.
Other than that, they are all in "dub" and "skipped tons of scene" and "small to prevent copyright".
Only time I did watch anime on youtube was for "initial D" when they did have the full season 1 and jp sub on youtube and was free. They removed now

i used to watch episodes of bleach on youtube over 10 years. i think one episode was split into like 2 or 3 videos

only the old ones that are hard to find in sub

I used to back when I first started watching anime, Its not bad but usually the quality is horrible and you also have the fact about missing episodes and whatnot

I did back in 2013-2014 to watch all of aot at the time

No when i started muse asia wasn't a thing only illegal uploads were available and those are bad

I mean, if you're gonna do something wrong, do it right, just fucking pirate, you're not making the creators any money and are watching anime in 240p quality

If u mean official channels then yes.

(I used to watch them bad quality anime episodes on youtube as a kid too lol)

cringe

Only if it's officially released there like the recent Pokemon Toon ONA.

Yeah years back I would just watch the anime of whatever ended up in my YouTube feed.

I did just yesterday because they were onas and weren't officially translated to English.

Copyright filters are such that unless you trash the quality any copyrighted material uploaded is going to get striked fairly quickly, so its better to get recommended a streaming site (legal or illegal) with a good library than to slog through trying to find quality on yt.
The only exception is Revolutionary Girl Utena which is legally on youtube at 720p, so I watched it on my tv youtube app at age 16. But for better quality you either have to buy the blurays or illegally stream it, so the youtube release really only has the benefit of access

There are two channels currently which are uploading anime weekly and it is all legal. One of them is Muse Asia and I forgot the name of the other one. But yeah i can imagine people watching anime on youtube now but before.. idk. Although, I watched an anime called "Nyan Koi" with my brother on youtube.

I saw the first half of Death Note on there because I didn't know it was on Netlfix :facepalm:

Got to watch i want to eat your pancreas too before it was removed.

YouTube's copyright system is so inconsistent. If the anime is well known, it might get taken down. Even though I remember seeing I think was the Girl Who Leapt Through Time on YouTube, so some titles have slipped under the radar. Obscure anime seem to get away with being on YouTube with no issues except maybe lower video resolutions.

sometimes, like when I watched Belladonna Of Sadness in spanish

Only for fan-translated Chinese stuff that isn't available anywhere else TwT

tbh I've become super picky with subs and I always end up wanting to take screenshots, so even if it's only on youtube I'll usually first try to download it in some form since vlc has stopped letting me stream yt videos >.<

oh and I also use Taiga, so if it's on youtube and the title doesn't line up nicely I have to manually update it on AL and that's a pain -¬-

lmao what

Same here, I watched Chuunibyo and Sakurasou on Yt because of the same reason.
