Anime episode downloads is something very close of my heart as an anime fan. I want to be able to get the episodes of my favorite anime and keep them so that I can revisit the scenes again and again and dwell in the emotions as well as ideologies that are being exemplified. I gather a lot of my inspirations from anime and I believe some of you do too. Anyway, enough talk, here I will be touching on how you can find anime episode downloads at close to zero or no cost at all.

If you do not mind lower quality anime episode downloads, you can try streaming sites like YouTube and Google video. Sure you can watch them online but what if you really want to download and keep them so that you can watch them offline too? You can do so using 2 methods. Once you have found the anime episode you want on YouTube for example, copy the URL and go to keepvid.com. Paste the URL and with a click of a button, a download link will appear. Another way is to use a Firefox plug-in called Fast Video Download. However, you will need Firefox browser for this. Bear in mind that anime episode downloads from streaming sites are typically in FLV format so you need an FLV player to view them. Don’t worry, you can find free FLV players easily.

If you are not new to the web, you should have come across torrent sites and P2P software before. You may even have downloaded from these before. Well, I will not say that torrent sites are bad as some of the files are truly genuine and of high quality. However, for average downloaders with amateur computer security knowledge, I would suggest staying away from these. They are haven for hackers to spread viruses, spyware and Trojans. You never know when your credit card or online banking information or even your personal photos are stolen. Your PC or laptop’s operating system may also be corrupted as a result. Use these sources at your own risk.

One of the best sources of anime episode downloads are membership websites. These sites not only contain the latest episodes of all the anime but they are perfectly safe as well. They are not free though but a lifetime membership will cost you no more than $40 to $50. If you consider the lifetime use of the service with unlimited downloads, the one-time sign up cost is well worth it for constant supply of quality anime series.

I am a hardcore fan of anime and I have come across many membership sites offering anime episode downloads. Read this review on anime episodes download sites.
