I torrent what I can't find for streaming on Netflix.
I have good internet.
And you can set priority on earlier episodes so that you can watch them while the others are still downloading.
Unfortunately, Netflix's Watch Instantly doesn't have language settings, so I'm stuck with dubs.

There are other sites that you can use for streaming anime too. Mostly with megavideo. I can't really help you with that though, since I hate streaming video.

Also, you might uh... consider buying it?

Hahahaha! It's a joke, no one pays for anime.

Ew, not worth it.

Options for me -
Purchase
Hulu - plenty of subs, inc FMAB, Gurren Lagan, Death note, basically popular ones.
Netflix - GITS and Gurren Lagan.
Download
Steam from animeseason.com or animefreak.com - no timelimits.
NOT Megavideo.
Megavideo does not reimburse the publisher, so I might as well download some 720p instead of dealing with time limits and low quality

I'm actually watching it on animefreak via streaming... but it appears to come through megavideo.

I've been getting all my One Piece episodes from kaizoku fansubs, which have beast quality and come in nice ten episode batches.

Does anyone have any manga to recommend? (I don't really watch anime, manga is faster, further along in terms of plot and not bogged down by fillers.)

I'm currently reading:
  • One Piece
  • Naruto
  • Bleach
  • Soul Eater
  • D.Grayman
  • Bakuman (not Bakugan)
  • History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi
  • Fullmetal Alchemist (finished, rereading)
  • Fairy Tail
  • Franken Fran
  • Katekyo Hitman Reborn

I'm up to the latest chapter released on each one of those, and I've also watched all the current episodes of TTGL: The Satire/Parody/whateverthehellitis, which, by the way, is just as awesome as the actual series. Any suggestions?

I have some, but they're all either yuri, Touhou, porn, or any combination of the three, which doesn't seem to be the kind of stuff you read.

I mostly read seinen and slice-of-life stuff, but King of Thorn, which I've been meaning to check out, might be similar enough to your tastes.

Or how about Mirai Nikki?

I torrent what I can find (and found an awesome source while at it, cheap enough on size and dual-audio for most-all). Not much a fan of streaming. Got a good connection to obtain with, and I seed whenever I can. With One Piece, although I can get it in one lump sum, I'm instead getting it in 50-ep batches (since they're divided that way as well). Considering all I've collected so far, it's a good thing I got me some storage.

I'm also snagging some shows I've either been meaning to watch, noticed some awesome mentions in Tropes, aren't showing anymore (on any channel at any time anymore), or heard recommendations for, despite my prior view of them (like I did with Inuyasha and One Piece; both are awesome, got closure with Inuyasha, thanks to getting the final season that hasn't aired over here nor been dubbed. And as for One Piece, I initially thought Luffy was a silly fool. Turns out I was wrong, and he's a badass.). I guess you can say the same about older shows non-anime (like Cartoon Cartoons and classic Nicktoons (the good ones, not related to Spongebob whatsoever. My generation nicktoons) or semi-anime (like Samurai Jack or the 2D Star Wars: Clone Wars). I even found a couple OVA/Movie packs (Dual-Audio and good filesize/quality as well for the whole packs).

For any new episodes I miss for shows, I check out BlazinAnime for that. Overall, I have a decent system down, and plenty of time to watch them. As for shows that air, I at least try to watch them on TV before considering obtaining them via torrent. At least that much.

So, decided to screw my sleep schedule because I couldn't stop watching Monster.
I have finished Monster, don't really have much time to get more in depth about it because I have to sleep, but the show was really enjoyable.
Spoiler: The End...(spoiler!) (click to show/hide)

Probably going to get a better avatar before sleeping though.

You mean shounen?
King of Thorn is the only thing you've listed that's seinen.
Stuff I've read, excluding doujin and such that I find on /u/ and /d/ and usually don't know the name of, would be
  • Pieta
  • Aoi Hana
  • Sasameki Koto
  • Girl Friends
  • Husky and Medley
  • Death Note
All of which are yuri, with the exception of Death Note, which I read because a friend of mine them in Japanese class.
They were in Japanese.
Thankfully, being shounen, they had the pronunciation for all the kanji.

No, I meant seinen. Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, Ai-ren, Living Game, Genshiken. . .

Currently reading Girl Friends. It is... not very good.

Haha, if I read shounen I think I'd have more recommendations for him.

Forget I said anything on the subject.
