3 Ways to Download Anime Series

By Davion W

Japanese anime and manga are popular Japanese cartoon cultural icons and have a huge following worldwide. The popularity is what drives the establishment of websites where one can download anime series. The most popular ones include Naruto, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Bleach and so on. These animes are popular because of the innocent and simple child-like characters. Yet, the storylines are educational and cater to the adults as well. And the graphics and animation simply cannot be missed.

Viewers generally are willing to fork out dollars if they want to keep the DVD edition. If not, it seems reasonable to want to pay as little as possible if they are watching the downloads once only. It would even be better if they can find them free. It is possible these days to download anime series cheaply and yet not break any law. There are tons of software applications people can use to download media files.

One such option to download anime series for free is to use a P2P or peer-to-peer file sharing application and network. The network works like a huge database linking the computers of all the members in the network to allow file sharing of anime and manga series. It pretty much behaves like a search engine.

When you manage to locate the episode you want, you may go ahead to download the file. As for how long it takes to transfer the file onto your computer, it depends on what is your internet connection speed. Use a high speed broadband connection if you do not have much patience.

Another aspect that may affect the computer download is the number of people sharing the same file. If more people have the same exact file available at the moment of download, the server has more sources to draw from, causing the download to get faster. The trouble is this source is notorious for poor quality downloads as well as the exposure of your PC to harmful viruses and malware.

The second option of getting downloads online is to use the Torrent networks. Torrent files make use of torrent clients. For those who are not too tech-savvy, it can be a challenge to set it up for proper use. The files are stored as .torrents and the trouble with using their clients is that you often have to pay for the use somehow.

The final option is to use a paid membership site. In case you may think that you would have to pay an exorbitant price to join them, you are assured that it does not go beyond a one-time $40 to get instant access to unlimited numbers of anime cartoon series. You get anime movies as well. So if you spread out the costs, you are paying peanuts for DVD-quality downloads in a secured and safe download environment. Another reason why people are finding this option attractive is the high download speed that can go up to 300 times the normal download speeds.

The best option to download for pennies is to use the paid membership sites, especially if you intend to download anime series as these are long, not like movies that only last two hours.
