| Basically I love subs but I am someone who enjoys watching something while I perhaps play a game on my handhelds or my comp and sometimes if it is an anime I know im not that into I will go ahead and do this anyway only glancing at the screen occasionally and in general I get the gist but does anyone else with no to limited knowledge of japanese have this issue? |

| i can't even eat anything when watching anime. |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| When I watch, I just watch... What's the point of doing something else in the midwhile and not paying attention? |

| No, I can masturbate do other stuff just fine while watching subs |

|
| I have severe extreme ADHD, so it's not like I can multitask anyway. I can't jog while listening to music. I tried to eat pancakes while watching anime once. Shit was all over the place.. |
| Depends, on what other thing I have to do. I can travel while watching with subs but watching TV or playing? It's like trying to watch two movies at the same time, you get to enjoy neither. |
| If I want to multi-task, I watch the anime dubbed. Though I have no problem eating during subbed animu. |
  |
| You might be having a hard time multitasking because it is impossible for humans to do. |
 Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur. |
| its easy.. i often do something else while watching anime for example painting my nails or texting on phone |
| I watch anime for fun rather than as a background thing. I would never read a book while playing a video game because that would be stupid. I like to just lay down and enjoy the story and the characters. Even if I don't like an anime but I have to complete it for a challenge or to converse about shared hatred I still won't try to do other things while watching. I have ADD and have a hard time paying attention to things anyway, so sometimes I'll even have to rewind to read/listen to what was said because I was thinking about something else when they said it. This is likely one of the reasons why I don't really like mystery anime. Sometimes if I'm not paying attention to the subs I will be able to still understand what was said from what I heard, but if they use words that I don't know then I'll have to rewind. When watching raw anime I have to spend even more effort and rewinding because I usually only understand half the words they say. There are Japanese audio dramas if you actually don't care to watch anime. |
  |
| The only thing I ever do while watching is eating, and even then I tend to keep my eyes firmly locked on the screen which has its hits and misses. If I find myself not staring at the screen I very often end up rewinding to rewatch parts I missed. If I want to do something else I'd rather do it in between episodes as pace changer but I rarely stop mid-way during an episode to do anything. If you find yourself struggling to do multiple things at a time it's a case where you probably shouldn't be doing multiple things. |
| Yeah, if I have to leave the vicinity of the TV screen, there's a good chance that they'll say something I don't understand. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| Damn.. Able to fully enjoy the shows while doing something else... I am not that talented.. |
| This salad is salty favored |
| Usually I stick to sub as a way of keeping myself attentive to what I'm watching. If I'm watching something in English I'm extremely prone to pulling out my phone and texting while just listening to the dialogue, which, in the end just makes me miss information anyways. |

Shit was all over the place.. kek Well anyway, after watching so much anime I can understand basic conversation without the subs, that and I read quickly, so I multitask frequently. I'm actually watching anime as I'm writing this. |

WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS. |
| I will never understand how you can multitask while watching an anime. You lose concentration. |
| WEAPONS - My blog, for reviews of music, anime, books, and other things |
| I like to wood whittle or tie knots while watching anime. Just to keep my hands busy for the most part. If the anime is really good tho i'm normally completely focused on it. |
 |
| When I watch... I only focus on that task.... I don't see the reason on doing anything else, the anime medium is a much better source of entertainment, tbh. |
| Depend on what I watch, If I watch something that need concentration, I will focus on watching. But when I watch something fun like comedy, or rewatching I can do multitasking. But multitasking itself only when I ate or talk. I never playing while watching, that's only Nanba Mutta can do -> http://myanimelist.net/character/55171/Mutta_Nanba |

Omuro said: I guess most people are not as productive as I like to be. two birds with one stone. I enjoy being able to get a dissertation done while enjoying a show and I still manage to do these things while watching anime just a little more difficult but still manageable.I'm pretty sure you need to reevaluate your interest in anime, mate. If anime is not interesting enough for you to give a large portion of your attention to, then you probably shouldn't be watching anime. If you want to dick around with your handheld games, then don't try to watch anime while playing them. If you want to watch anime, don't dick around with your handheld games. Anime watching isn't neurosurgery, my man, keep it basic. |

| I rarely watch a show without doing something at the same time, whether that is eating, posting on the forums or talking to someone. |
| I never used to, but now I always do something else while watching anime. It's very rarely I don't. I read pretty fast so I find it easy to switch between reading and other tasks. |
Kuma said: i can't even eat anything when watching anime. That sums it up for me as well. Why the hell would you do something else? To me it's more than you're not interested by the anime. But to answer your question I could do it though as I understand Japanese anyway lol |

You are just deluding yourself, unless that dissertation has the goal to prove behavioral scientists wrong that multitasking is impossible for humans. The human brain can only focus on one thing on the same time. In the best case scenario you are maybe watching an anime for a few minutes while barely noticing what happens in your game and then gaming for a few minutes while only picking up a few scenes from the anime. You may get the gist of both but you are in no way killing two birds with one stone, you are just halfassing both. |

Ok sure multi tasking in general is impossibleish but I dont just get the gist of things and I dont halfass. Maybe you cant do it, maybe a lot of people cant but I can tackle two things roughly at the same time and be fully aware of what I am doing. Go be an dick somewhere else. |
|
| Noob, get gud. I can watch anime while eating and playing a game on smartphone. |
 |
| Okay but why are you even watching something you are not into? Don't watch it if you feel the need to play games at the same time? saying you "want to get more things done" when talking about something you're supposed to do for your enjoyment, sounds silly. It's not a job or anything, what's the point lol as for the question though, not really, because I understand enough without having to glue my eyes to the screen for every line that comes up, but the most I ever really do while watching anything, is talk to someone |
 I'll be out ridin' my pony until it's time for candy And I'll be naked, because I want to ♫ |
| No, I don't multitask when watching anime |
 (っ◔◡◔)っ 𝓘 𝔀𝓲𝓼𝓱 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓪𝓵𝓵 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓪 𝔀𝓸𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓻𝓯𝓾𝓵 𝓭𝓪𝔂 ♥ |
| Sometimes, when the anime is so slow and boring I double the speed from the Anime. But I tend to forget most of the things again lol |
| Why would I want to do something else when I'm watching anime? Doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose? Sure, if I were watching a dub, I probably could, but anime is mostly a visual medium to begin with, so even with dialogue I could understand, I'd still be missing quite a lot. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Why would you multitask though, because you're bored of shows that require no engagement or understanding at all in what's going on? |

I only listen to music as a background thing, I don't watch anime that are so boring they don't keep my full attention. Kuma said: i can't even eat anything when watching anime. I can, unless the food is too complicated (like chicken or fish with bones still inside). |
| Only during scenes with lots of intense animation do I find it hard to read the subs and watch. Even when watching a dub, your attention should be 100% focused on the thing you are watching. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |

If I watch something in full english and play say an mmo I can fully play the game and know what is going on in the show..it isnt that hard. Why even watch than? lol Why are you multitasking an mmo and an anime in the first place? How can you enjoy a show that way? If the question is do you like subbed anime that you've already seen as background noise than the answer is yes. I have background stuff every now and then while I come on MAL or something lol. |
 |
| I watch both dubs and subs. I don't multitask for either of them because the anime is too entertaining. |
  |
| I know a person who does this but he watches on a small i pad with the anime muted in school and just lets it play as he talks to others, looks away, does work, these are anime hes watching for the first time as well. I don't understand it to be honest. I think it annoys me because i'm so strict when watching anime, to the point of where if i have paused it for a few minutes or something I would go back a minute or two, I refuse to miss anything. |

| Max. eat and drink, can't really do anything because of the subs, but I can understand your point, used to do it too when i was a dub fag watcher :P But the subs are better, so it's worth for me . |
