MPDN

It might be dead but it still works flawlessly for me

>mpv
great on old computers, works nicely on GNU/Linux (Yes, it even has an Android release now if you're into watching anime from a something like an Android set-top box, a tablet, or god forbid, a phone), Windows (although they dropped XP support in late 2015), OS X, and even *BSD. The problem for most people is that you "need to tinker around with a config file in order to set it up", and the lack of a detailed GUI. Other people can't get used to the keyboard shortcuts. You can remedy this to a certain degree by getting something like Baka MPlayer.

>MPC-HC
slightly heavier than mpv, but it makes up for it with ease of use. You can get it up and running in no more than a minute, if you don't install MadVR.
What you need to watch anime is just the basic MPC-hc install and xy-subfilter. LAV is already built-in. MadVR isn't really important, unless you want to fuck around with scaling algorithms and improve the quality of your anime to a certain degree. However, you need a good computer to run it properly. If you're playing it on a toaster (like me), or a normal laptop, don't really bother.

A lot of people seem to shit on mpv for the lack of a gui, but what exactly do people want?
The osd provides all the controls people would want out of a media player. I've recommended mpv to normalfags who have zero issues using it.
Still there's a ton of mpv frontends like baka mplayer, smplayer, bomi, iina, and mpc-qt.

MPC-HC has extremely comprehensive settings - e.g. everything is laid out for you, you have a list of available options. Most importantly, you know what your defaults are right off the bat - they're very clearly selected. You don't have to look in the wiki to find them (so you can avoid redundancy and clutter in the config file).

Don't get me wrong, I love mpv, but MPC-hc isn't just out of the game, either.

Good one.

Talk about "improved viewing experience" eh... I can't believe ffdshow is the most reliable decoder still today, besides lav which sadly doesn't have any cool features like ffdshow.

At home, curtains closed, on your Laserdisc player plugged into old faithful CTR tv, eating instant ramen.

Sounds like a case of pebcak.
