So in order to finish an anime faster, and having no interest in the wiki, can you watch episode 1&2 on two screens at once, then 3&4 and so on? It takes a lot of skill in multitasking and maybe comprehension but do you think it's a good idea? This can revolutionize binge-watching.

Are you willing to try it out?

P.S also works with 3+ screens maybe.

If watching anime is such a bother that you want to speed it up, why bother at all? Just drop it.

Anyway, seeing it's not your first thread about this kind of bullshit, one would think you have completed more than 30 titles...

Don't think of it that way, think of it as double enjoyment.

If fights are boring and slow watching two at once can really make things intense. Don't you agree?

I agree with Imaishi, and besides, how will u understand anything if u do that?
You get what you deserve? Nope. Who decides what you deserve? Does that person even get to deserve deserving what others deserve? And who decided that that person deserves do that? Exactly. Complete bullshit. Only one thing I know that everyone deserves. And that is the right to watch good anime and drop the shitty ones. Have a nice day(you probably don't deserve that :P)

If only someone could create a real life braingear where I could watch anime in my dreams.

OT: The sound from each series would cancel each other and will disrupt your concentration. Not legit by any means.

What the fuck?!? How do you plan to know what happens in the second episode without watching the first. That is dumb, if anything just play them at an increased speed, or enjoy them like a normal person. Why do you need to increase how much you watch?

i love how ppl are being to closed minded on this topic...yes it might not fit u but it can fit other people.

with sports i have like 3 different channels on also with news or even award shows

thing is with anime if ur watching dubs its fine and even if u are able to read the subs of both fast enough and u can retain the info ur good.

i personally thing its not my cup of tea because i like anime alot, to the point where i want to give it all my attention until im done. meaning i dont chat, text, post on forums or do anything else while watching anime.

YES! THANK YOU!

Sure some anime require to much concentration to do this right but others.... Hmmm
Also plot twists are just as good in reverse (knowing what happens then watching how in prev episode)

I don't mean to be a hater, nor do I hope like I sound like one right now, but thats just retarded. Seriously. I'll try not to be close minded on this, but even if you could read fast enough, or if the anime wasn't complicated and had no plot twists, doing so would still be annoying. You wouldn't get the full blast of the series, and the enjoyment will be over even faster. Plus you'll still miss a lot of things. Really. Its just stupid

I will never understand it. What's the point of doing that. I suppose it means you are very bored with the particular show, isn't it better idea to just drop it then? I imagine it also really screws up your view on the animation and voice acting.

I don't understand the point of this? Anime series are not there for the sole purpose of being an achievement to have completed in the shortest time possible.

It does feel overwhelming when there is so much out there to watch and so little time in our busy lives. I think that trying to finish an anime series by compromising your own enjoyment and understanding of the show defeats the purpose of relaxing and enjoying some anime.

If you proposed watching two different anime at once it would not be as ridiculous but watching the same show on different screens makes no sense...

yea, I agree with you, im just saying if 2x speed is much better than split screen

Just watch anime at 2x speed, same time spent and you won't spoil yourself.

For the people against speeding up, it's actually quite nice for slow or simple shows where you don't need a long time to absorb information. If you have a fast enough thought process, it should be too hard. But I recommend starting off with 1.1x speed and slowly building up.

You might think you're saving yourself time by watching two Glasslip episodes at once, but you will be sorely mistaken. The enriching symbolism and foreshadowing you miss will haunt you and make you rewatch one at a time.
