I'm debating doing it while watching One Piece because the arcs are dragged out so, unnecessarily, much to a certain point that it can get boring while watching and you just look forward to another arc, which will also most likely be as dragged out

I use to watch some shows in 1.25x speed but nowadays I don't. Only time I skip shows is during moments that I find cringey or them stuffing up stupidly as I don't like that stuff but they never last for too long.

Watching anime at double speed ruins the pacing and timing of delivery of scenes in shows. I do not watch anime this way and recommend against it.

I only watch at x1 speed.

Though, I can see how others would enjoy anime at faster speeds though (it matches their comfortable brain processing speed, story > everything, etc.).
I remember talking to a friend about people watching anime at faster speeds, and he just said "I never thought about that. Good idea" :P

That's just a waste of time then. Why do you have to force yourself watching something double the speed while you can watch something more enjoyable? Then you wouldn't need that speed up at all

I actually like slow-paced shows, so I would never do that. For me, half the enjoyment in something amazing is the buildup leading up to it, so speeding up anime would defeat the purpose entirely.

I give subbed anime my whole attention. When i watch dub i can put it in the background but to watch it 2x the speed is just stupid.

I often speed up the anime I find boring upto 1.5 so that I could finish them fast, mostly the ones I have rated 5 or less.

You're going to be all right. You just stumbled over a stone in the road.
It means nothing. Your goal lies far beyond this. Doesn't it?
I'm sure you'll overcome this.

I agree with all arguments against increasing the speed. It lessens an anime's impact and experience.

However, I used 2* speed for a show or two my friend recommended that I didn't especially care to watch or read their summaries.

I have not thought of fast-forwarding or speeding when watching anime or any other show. It will spoil the enjoyment of watching it.

No, it never crossed my mind. If i don't have the time, i would rather do something else. If it's because i find an episode boring and it continues through multiple episodes i would drop it.

Man, these anime speed runners looking for validation. As for me, the last time I sped up a video was when rewinding VHS tapes.

I make it go a little faster but only when I need to, like when the story and characters aren't interesting. Sometimes I do it when shows use 3D animations and the fps goes lower than 30 (or what I think is 30); when the 3D stuff looks very jittery.

Usually, I keep it at 1 to 1.15x. The highest I'd go would be 1.5x if I really could not care about the show anymore, but if I weren't too far in I'd just drop it. At 2x speed, my eyes would bleed and dry out. Would ruin dialogue and music.

I did it only with Naruto. The pacing is damn slow so I had to fast forward most part of it so I could complete it early. Not to mention, sometimes with HxH too

Watching anime at 2x, 4x, etc is why we have so many shit takes these days. People just gloss over shows, claim to have watched it and then drop stupid takes that have you wondering whether they've even seen the promotional art, talk more of the show itself.
If you feel the need to watch a show at a faster speed, it's a clear sign that you should drop it.
