Do you watch new anime RAW?
| For any of the people that watch airing anime and dont understand japanese, im curious. Do you watch the raw when posted online as soon as possible for an anime and later rewatch it sub or do you wait for the sub, ive seen a number of topics on the anime series disscusion of people saying they are of watched the RAW and are going to watch the sub later so im curious how many of you do this? |
| well, i mean, if you don't understand japanese, why would you watch it raw? |
| i dont speak japanese so why would i watch it raw? and either way crunchyroll releases the episodes after just 1 hour after it is released in japan so they normally get their version up before the raw is even up |

| A few years ago (in a galaxy far far away), the first two episodes of Code Geass had already aired and no one was subbing them yet. I was interested in the show from day one, but no one was subbing it, so I checked out the raws because I didn't have a choice. |
 |
| only raws I watched were Shingeki no Kyojin, and I stopped doing so after episode 10ish~ and I don't speak japanese. |
 |
| I watch the raw of shows in which I've read the source material and then rewatch it again with subs. The rest is subs. Our resident firstfag thread starter for most ongoing shows, Stark700, always watches raw. |
 |
| Yeah, i'm waiting for the subs to come out, then watch it. I just may watch short animes without them and i'm sure that i can understand the plot |

|
| Only for the occasional movie I really want to see that I can't find subbed. Otherwise, no, I am going to wait because I don't know enough Japanese to be fluent. |

| I do for some anime, especially those ones that are slow to be subbed. I understand enough to get through them without missing much. |

| I voted other. You asked why. Here's the super lame reason(s): |
| y'all need to shut the fuck up. |
| Don't go raw kids, you'll regret it. |
| I never watch raws. I don't know enough japanese yet. And I'm very patient with that kind of stuff. |
| I wait for the sub. I can barely understand Japanese, unless there isn't some complicated plot to follow. |
| The only series I've ever watched raw was Danganronpa, and only because I had already read the Let's Play and knew what was going on even without subtitles. Unless you can understand Japanese, just wait a few hours for the subs. |
| I watch the raw of a new anime since I understand Japanese pretty well. |
 |
| always subs for me. i tried watching an episode raw and i didn't get what the heck was going on |
 |
| I watch English subs that have been translated from Russian subs, which were originally translated from Korean subs using google translate. I do this while watching with Chinese audio. |
 |
| Of course I am going to wait for the sub. I like to know what is happenening, since I hardly know any Japanese. |
 |
| gonna wait for the damn subs since i do not understand japanese language |
| I always wait for the subs because I wouldn't understand anything otherwise... The only exception is Monogatari Second Season which I always watch raw. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| Subs ONRY. Sometimes raw manga/manhwa. |

 |
| I doubt that there are people who do that.... well not unless you're someone who understand their language. |
 |
| Most of the time, I wait for the subs but if I have knowledge on the source material(For instance, White Album 2), I watch it raw. |
 |
| I don't know why it is so taboo. Anime is still very enjoyable even if you cannot understand the anime. They make episodes available raw on dvd's and you can do the same thing. |
| Nah, I'm not that impatient. Besides I would probably get bored if I was going to watch something twice even if I didn't understand it the first time. |
| i always wait for the subs. if i watched a RAW episode i wouldn't understand 90% of the talk.. by that it will takes away the enjoyment factor. |

Subs are never faster than the raw version. |
| I've tried watching raws at someone's house on their TV. Couldn't really understand half of what they're saying, so I didn't really get the character's actions. It just so happens the anime is Noucome, and I'm treated with a scene where some girl gets her breasts groped by another girl for a good 5 minutes. And I had no freaking idea why the hell she was doing that. I gotta learn more Japanese. Subs for now. |

Subs are never faster than the raw version. Unless I understood japanese near perfectly, subs would always be better, since you get a more full understanding of what's happening. If you're a person that does understand it, I don't see why not. |

| For the vast majority of people, there is literally no point in watching raw if you don't at least understand basic Japanese. Other than a few basic words and phrases, you wouldn't understand anything actually relevant to the show, so it seems like a complete waste of time to me, unless the show was just that reliant on situational cues (like a simple slice of life or something). Except for very rare occasions, I always wait for the subs to come out. I don't use anime as a tool to assist in learning Japanese, so I enjoy it through my mother language. The only exception was the Chuunibyou OVA, the Hidamari Sketch Graduation OVA (once it gets to my mailbox) and the SKET Dance OVA (heck, I watched raw then went ahead and subbed it myself; you can thank me with a Karen). With services like Crunchyroll providing ~3 day or less since time of broadcasts subs, I don't see the difficulty in waiting. I mean, don't we do other things to pass the time besides watching anime? |

| The only show which I watched raws (I also tried to watch the live stream ahahaha) was Umineko since I'm a big fan (and I had read the VN already so it was easy to know/understand what was going on). |
| What in the hell kind of question is that?? If ya dont understand Japanese fluently, why the hell would ya watch the raw only to be utterly confused by everything but the animation and if ya do understand Japanese, why the hell would ya bother to wait for the subs?? |
 |
| I wait for the sub of course... |

they license the most popular shows in north america. you have to understand that what is popular in japan is not necessarily going to be popular in north america or vice versa. |
