ezikialrage Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Depends on the series.Not all series were made in 1080p. I'll get it in 108p if its available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnawind Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 When archiving, which is essentially backing up, I prefer just using smaller sizes, no matter the resolution. 480p is fine for that, but 720p is the highest I will go with resolution, since the advantage of 1080p over 720p isn't that great except on really large screens, like a 50 inch or larger screen. Storage space would also be an issue and a lot of 1080p over 720p are a difference of around 50% more for the 1080 over 720 (for example, 800MB per episode vs 1.2-1.4GB per episode.)

Dab is a Cunt Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 I almost always go for 1080p unless I kno that the bluray remaster isn't actually a remaster but a lazy upscale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElementalCards Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 1080p if it's a Bluray source. 480p if it's from DVD. Well, if I have room for the content on my comp... hehehe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sevaspeto Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Always 1080p, I only watch anime on my projector and watch on the wall. It's over 120 inches and anything less than 1080p sometimes looks blocky and I prefer the quality. I have multiple nas drives completely full of anime. Even ones I'll probably never get to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexia Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 120 inches? Are you sure about that? That's over 3 meters. Don't you mean 120 cm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even ones I'll probably never get to watch. That is likely what they meant, unless they are rich and live in a mansion or something, since 120 inches is 10ft, which is an average room wall length. You can use a projector on a wall that long, but it is NOT recommended to make it that big. It would also be much dimmer and have to be over 10 ft from the wall with a lot of room for things to get in the way blocking out what is being shown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheez Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 I'm usually not too picky when it comes to anime quality, 720p is ideal but recently I was trying to figure out which Doki Clannad release I should archive and found 1080p to be lifechanging. Also, I wished I checked out the 1080p first cause I made the mistake of dling the 480 and 720p release instead! Idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptic Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 I only download my favorites in 1080p. The rest I watch in 720p and then delete after. Â So I pretty much watch everything in 720p (with the exception of a couple movies). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilmour Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 720p mainly due to space constraints, but 1080p for series I really enjoy watching again and again and are from a source that warrants it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronicles Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 usually 720p so i can save some space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd5Ds0wVuPo0sJn Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 1080p, I'm just too lazy to decide if 720 or 1080 is better and download multiple releases (even more annoying with minimum seed time). Space isn't really an issue, I still have 4TB to spare... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scizzer12 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Depends on the series. Basically if it's still airing I'll archive at 720p because that's what it probably aired at. If I download it post-mortem then probably 1080p and I'll store it as HEVC. Movies are always max quality because they should be something special.

TwistedVivid Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 It depends on me but for me 720p is my default but If I love a Series I Get it in 1080p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkmattered Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 I always pick 1080p, mostly for editing purposes, though file-size can change my decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanis Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 I tend to go for 720p, depending on the encoder, because I watch nearly all my anime via a laptop screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrton Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 I mostly choose 1080p but sometimes the file size ratio of 1080p/720p is too big. If file size of 1080p is only 2 or 3 times bigger than 720p, I choose 1080p. For shows that 1080p is 4 or 5 times larger than 720p and are not very special in terms of content and story, I pick 720p release. Sometimes making these compromises are very difficult for me.
