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.
