What player do you use for playing your anime episodes?

9 months later

I don't really watch too much animu these days, but when I do, I always use either KissAnime's player for streaming, or MPC with the CCCP.

Sadly I'm running on a craptop, so I don't get to use any of the real high-fidelity effects; but it's still leagues ahead of VLC or even Windows Media Player.

mpv with a custom config on linux. Sometimes use svp with it too. More often for films.

I just use VLC since it's easy and I don't have to install codec packs.

I originally installed VLC to view WebMs before I knew you could just open them with a browser and kept it around to watch anime on. Recently decided to try out MPC after VLC finally hiccuped on me during an anime.

I've been using MPC-HC with CCCP for so long that I've forgoten that anything else existed. ^_^

Hate me but I use WMP because I actually like the pretty buttons at the bottom, and K-lite Mega (I know it includes MPC-HC BUT u.u)

EDIT:
oh yeah, and if I'm on linux, just regular mplayer

I recently discovered that it's incredibly easy to convert MKVs into a format the PS3 can stream so I've been messing around with that lately. Anime looks pretty good on a big TV.

MPC-HC with the Smooth Video Project running at 60FPS. Save some specialized hardware, a good TV, or a short clip interpolated in Twixtor, nothing else comes close. :3

I'm a pleb supreme when it comes to this stuff, I just use mpv with the default configs like @[deleted]. Only becuase its easy to use. For anyone interested, mpv combines well with some software called youtube-dl. Which allows for you to type:

$ mpv {link to video}

into your terminal of choice. to stream a video directly through mpv, its really useful!

When all it takes is adding --profile=opengl-hq to mpv then you really should bother!
