You can do that? As in there are sites where you can arrange something like that, or you just skyped a friend of yours and watched with them?

I've actually done this before with a local club before. (a club I attended for maybe a month) :/

I even set up a way to stream stuff live online with a chatbox, IRC or w/e to the side. u no like twitch, only better. The page is actually still up if you wanna see how it worked: http://tentaclera.pe/live/ obviously not active anymore though because of reasons I already mentioned. Was pretty cool when it was going though. I could get it running again if anyone actually wants to use it, just shoot me a PM.

I thought about doing it with real internet people before but it seems like it would be difficult with time-zones and whatnot.

There's a site, I forgot the name...it was "rabbit" or some shit like that, and what basically does is that you can see the screen of the host, although I never tried it for myself.

Edit: It was rabbit...

I prefer watching it on my own instead of with others.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

No one I know in real life watches anime, and if I am trying to show them a show I'm usually having to rewatch a show I've already seen. I guess I wouldn't mind if it was an anime we both haven't seen and they didn't talk a lot of make weird noises in the microphone.

Yes, I've watched and rewatched a lot of shows with one or more people I only know online. Sometimes in a skype group and more often just by watching it at the same pace and exchanging thoughts for each episode, like a private series discussion thread. Since the series discussion forums are usually either inactive or full with random people insulting each other so it's nice to have guaranteed responses from people you value when watching and discussing a show.
I probably regret this post by now.

I've watched with people online and offline. So far I've had good experiences, though online people seem to like chatting while the show is on and I don't.

Watching with others once in awhile is alright but I mostly just watch by myself.

I've done it several times and it can be distracting so I just usually join the fun when it's something I've already watched before.

I don't even have an Skype account, and I don't intend to make one.
I like watching it alone, even when I was playing online games I muted the other players because they distract me.

Watched The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya with a friend on skype. Also watched One Punch Man with a few friends. I wouldn't like doing something like this with people that I'm not close with, but if it's close friends I don't mind, as long as they're not the "chat during watching" kinda people.

No. I don't get it's appeal either. Or maybe I'm just too opinionated.

I don't like watching anime with people, let alone simulwatching.
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives.

I don't like watching anime with people, I just feel like I'm less enjoying the anime. I like to re-watch anime with other people though.

Definitely.
Just about any anime can be enjoyable for me when I'm watching with friends as long as it isnt overly disgusting or something.

Yeah, I've done it a lot with irl friends and online, but it's usually an anime I've already seen. I wouldn't enjoy watching new episodes with someone else.

yeah, i often watch bad anime with friends online because we can ease the pain by making fun of them. there's no way i could bear to watch Owari no Seraph or Shonen Hollywood by myself
