Does anybody else wait until it's dark out to watch anime?

In my case, I don't like to watch anime when the sun is up because it seeps through my blinds and distracts me a bit. When it's dark in my room, I have a "black" background behind my laptop screen which obviously has no distractions. Also, I'm still a teenager and live with my family, so it's nice to have everyone asleep and/or quiet while I watch anime (screaming little brothers or the sound of feet on the floor above my head attract my attention the most).

Further, it's at the end of the day that I find myself the most relaxed.

So, do you wait until night-time too? Please provide reasons as to why or why not.

I thought I was the only one. I like watching in darkness :) Even if the room is dark but the sun is out, it's not the same. Just like going to movies.

I do because everyone is sleeping then, so there's nothing to distract me.

Nope I just watch them whenever the subs come out generally. I have no time preference.

I watch anime on my iPhone while lying on my bed at midnight. Its complete darkness besides the light emanating from my iPhone and I have soda and chips with me. Every night is a good night :)

The people I live with are loud (especially when they're drunk), so I'm forced to care.

i usually watch anime from 7pm till 11 pm..
I'm still studying at university so i'm quite busy during the day and when i reached home i unleashed all my stress by watching anime and you can say it's one of my favorite reason for not studying at night. XD

I prefer to watch it in the morning before I go to school. Having some tea while watching anime is a nice easy way to start the day.

I do prefer to watch at night because no one bothers me. Bad thing about this is I usually go to sleep around 3 in the morning then when I get up I'm the walking dead.

I watch during anytime of the day. I don't think there has ever been a specific reason. I prefer to watch stuff at night that requires little attention until I fall asleep.

I like to watch at night too...but I don't have the time. I could only watch from morning to noon. But I still wait for the clouds to cover the sun a bit...I don't really like watching when the sun is so bright.

Yes for many reasons. I have my pc hooked up to my tv and people like to ninja the tv from me. Too busy during the day, when I do have time to sit down and watch a show, I get 20 questions on what I am watching/what's going on/what's gonna happen next. Just more peaceful to watch at night when everyone else is asleep.

Love to watch anime at night and certain titles are just better to enjoy at night time yes. And I don't tend to like sunny day-time conditions very much, prefer cloudy or stormy; the darker the better mainly because I find it more comfortable for my eyes. I also hang up dark sheets over the blinded windows in my room to help stop glare and it generally makes things much more comfortable when watching TV or on comp. I wonder if I'm the only one who does that? lol

It depends on the genre. If it's sad, or scary, I normally set the mood by waiting for nightfall. Action or comedy on the other hand I watch as soon as they get subbed. ^^

I used to, then school started again and kicked my ass with homework, so now I have no time to watch at all. On the weekends I try to find time in the night to watch some anime, but I just get so tired and give up.

I thought I was the only one lol, I too dislike watching anime during the day. When it's night I'm more relaxed and there are less distractions allowing me to enjoy the anime more.

Usually, although I would watch anime anytime my parents step out of the house, because my PC is in the living room.

Besides, about 90 percent of my anime is watched at night. Like right now.

Only for ones that I know will be horrific, thought-provoking, or tragic. I can concentrate better at night, and it helps set the mood.

I do for ones like Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, Another, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World, Perfect Blue, Ima Soko ni Iru Boku, Monster, Angel Beats!, etc.

Sometimes I also do it for Uchuu Kyoudai since the moon's out and all. ^^=

Not a chance. I've done this for years because my tv/computer always seems to be near windows that cause way too much glare.

Most of the time but not always.
I like watching anime at night because there won't be anything that would disturb or distract me. Everybody are asleep and I won't need anything like bath, meal etc.

I watch anime whenever, but if I know its going to be sad I wait until everyone goes to sleep so that way I can cry without anyone laughing at me. xD

When it comes to stuff that isn't sad or is naughty I just pause and switch tabs pretending I'm looking at forums.

Me too, in most cases. Because then it's quiet outside and I don't have better things to do. And I can have a beer when watching.

Haha, that's funny, there is a lot of us. Yes, I do it too, mostly for the same reasons as you. I like it when it's dark in my room and I can focus on the screen better, I feel more relaxed at night and in the evening and it also helps that everyone is asleep.
However, it gets harder to stay up late during the week, since I have to get up early for school and stuff... then I don't mind watching anime in the afternoon. But I certainly prefer to watch it at night.
The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything.

In the day time I'm usually occupied, so I normally start watching anime/tv shows in the evening around 7. If I've got nothing to do then i'll watch it through the day.

Yes I tend to do that, since my internet is much faster when it's around 1 in the morning.
