Animes and manga are popular icons of Japan. Millions download anime series everyday. These are not only well loved by Japanese kids and teens but by the adolescent population all over the world. Even adults are attracted by the colorful characters depicted in the cartoons, not to mention their engaging storylines which always have a lesson to tell.

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 way to getting online downloads is the use of torrent files. Torrent files need torrent clients and are much more difficult to use. Simply put, files for download are converted into a file called .torrent. The downside of this is that one may not shoulder the cost for the actual download, but there is an associated cost for using a torrent client.

The last method to download your favorite anime series is to go to the membership sites. The memberships are reasonably priced and can range from $30 to $50 depending on the features and database size. Each membership entitles you to unlimited access to their anime and manga selection anytime you wish without any bandwidth limits. Expect the anime movies and series to come in high DVD quality. Download speeds can be 300 times faster than the normal ones you are so used to at torrents and P2P sites.

Among the 3 options, using a paid membership site is perhaps the most affordable and safe one. Consider the hours you wasted downloading at the free P2P and torrent sites and you will appreciate being able to download anime series quickly.
