Torrents are the best thing tho. Look up nyaa(.)si. It's a website full of HD anime. If you want raw footage ohys raws and leopard raws are good groups. Stick with mp4 files. ^-^
I would definitely do that, but for the particular show I'm using, the subtitles (for some reason) seem to cover a bit too much of the video than I am comfortable with. This trick definitely works on some shows, though, so I'll keep that in mind when I don't want to go through the trouble of tracking down a torrent.
I want to download subtitle-less HD videos for some amvs that I plan on working on, but I can't find a good place to do it. I've tried torrents but they're coming out very low quality for some reason. Does anyone have a better solution?
