lemmingllama Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Its totally worth switching to HD, but please go the 720p route and not the 1080p route. 1080p takes up too much space and unless you have a really fancy TV or monitor then it isnt worth it. But 720p>everything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wake Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 HD is worth it. I don't watch/download all my show in (720p) HD but most of them I do. I like plugging my computer into my TV to watch a lot of the time, so it being HD you can really tell the difference. Size on HD or 720p isn't too bad but 1080p unless you have a big screen TV (more the 32") you really aren't going to be able to tell the difference and the size of the 1080p isn't really worth it.

edwardelric880 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I require all the anime I download and put on disk to be the absolute best quality I can find, regardless of what anime it is. This started when I was obsessed with Death Note and wanted all 37 episodes in perfect quality. Then it's expanded to every single anime that I watch, so much so that I've redone my discs of InuYasha at least 3 times in order to get the best possible quality. If they're in HD, then that's perfectly fine with me; in fact, I would prefer HD if the series' resolution is supposed to be so already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesimpson36 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Once you've seen Hd theres no going back. atleast for me anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I'll always go for HD if it's available. Usually I'll download it in 720p, and if I'm going to archive it I'll consider redownloading the show in 1080p depending on the file sizes (I don't mind 500-750 MB for a 1080p episode, but I consider over 1 GB to be too much).

FireWarrior Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 HD all the way and really only I watch anime in HD if it's produced natively in HD. I'm not a big fan of upscales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SummerSword Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I love HD quality! I always try and download 720 or above. but then i have a HD t.v that i can play it on and because of that its worth me downloading the bigger files.

Guitar23 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I cannot stand low quality encodes. That's not to say that I won't watch an old anime series simply because it isn't in HD, but I definitely get the best quality that I can find. Especially since I'm running my files into a Blu-Ray player and out to a 42" HDTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow007 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Yes it is . . . animes look a lot better, brings out the real quality out of japanese animation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegend1994 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 My laptop only has a SD screen but still the colours and well almost everything looks better with my HD version animes, i actually compared Angel Beats! & Kanon (2006) with 480p & 1080p and it's so much more enjoyable to watch them in HD. Even bettter when I stream to my HD TV you can properly see a massive difference, it's just brilliant =). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gekku Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I watch my anime on my 1440p iMac, which makes even 1080p look deteriorated. I have no choice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matidiaolo Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I'm now downloading my first 1080p anime (ghost in the shell series) and I hope it's rewarding!I can't imagine though how it will be to have endless anime like One Piece on HD (10000000 GB ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fair Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 i dont notice a big difference... but i tend to always go with HD.... im just a big old HD ho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegend1994 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 If the anime I'm downloading is a long series like dragon ball z or yu-gi-oh! I go for 480p, but I think that's just because there not able in HD. (although Dragon Ball Z is coming out on blu-ray at this moment so I'll probably replace my 480p versions with 720p or even 1080p versions if/when they become available).
