Do you know a place, along with instructions on how to do torrenting? I am a rookie with the practice.
I have no idea what's the status of piracy where you live in, but for good practice and to avoid some bad surprises with your ISP (Internet Service Provider) you should always use a VPN (virtual private network) that allows peer2peer networks (torrents) to hide your traffic from your ISP. There are other solutions but a VPN is probably the easiest way for your right now. Depending where you live, you could get in trouble !!!!
The first step is to find a P2P BitTorrent client, I would recommend qbitorrent which is multi platform (windows, linux, macOS).
Second step is to find your torrent file, for anime I would recommend nyaa.si. If you search for
The snow queen
you will come across a few results and the one that's probably interesting for you is the following:[Live-eviL]_The_Snow_Queen-Batch-[h264&MP3]
.Why? Because it's english translated (subtitles), It has 5 seeders (in green) and 1 leecher (red).

's page you have 2 solution:Download torrent
where you download the torrent file and need to open it in your BitTorrent clientMagnet
which will automatically add the torrent to your BitTorrent clientEither way is good, there's more to it but that doesn't matter here and now. Something important to note is that it has not much seeders (green) so the download speed can be a bit slow. There are a ways to speedup your download speed but this would take to long to explain everything specially if you're new to torrenting.
The most important part (after you get used to how to torrent files), is the philosophy behind torrents. It's a peer2peer network based around sharing (seeders). Every person shares the files he already downloaded to others, if there are no seeders, there would be now way to download your file ! So after you downloaded your file, please keep it alive and become a seeder (not a leecher).
How to? Simple, just let your downloaded file sit where they are and keep qbitorrent open, it will automatically seed the files to others ! If you are limited in download/upload quota from your ISP, you can limited the upload speed a bit.

EDIT:
I have downloaded the files and I'm seeding it so your download speed will get a bump :) The quality is much better and you will probably appreciate the quality boost compared to streaming.
