Why watching anime at 0.25 speed is an excellent idea

Does anyone slow down their video on VLC when they're watching anime? I find it very useful to enjoy anime better. Mars of Destruction is a good series, but it's even better when I can slow down the show to understand the complex scenes in it. Also, it helps waste time. After 1 episode, I only have 1% of my time, and after 300 episodes... well you get the point.

I like watching anime slowed down at 0.25 because:
1. It helps you understand better what the characters are saying
2. If you think the anime is too short you can make it longer
3. You can read all the subtitles if you miss some
4. You can analyze better animation frames
5. You can tell your mom you're watching another episode before going to bed

What do you think?

That's why every self respecting critical thinker, commiting deep real sophisticated analysis watches anime at 0.1 speed. You can absolutely scientifically analyse and measure frame by frame, pinpointing every little detail and abstract symbolism which leads to the building of the entire connecting plot and subplot, with all it's characters with their own emotional body and psychological meta-interspace. Did you know anime in 1974 had the most variation in pixel design integrity and shadow color quantization?? Of course you don't know that, anime after 1994 hardly had any production value when otakus started demanding more school harems and animators were more focused on drawing oppai than showing their inner genious thoughts in the art of direction and animation. Did you know most modern seyuus are drug abusers?? Of course not, you don't know that because you can't analyse the sound in such throughout degree. Trust me, I have been analysing anime for 50 years in my old military-built basement and I have amassed an enormous knowledge base of elite thoughts and visions that only elite personas like myself can imagine to acquire. You have no such imagination, you have no such knowledge to even witness what I have witnessed in my vast experience in watching anime in 0.1 speed. My whole life was built around analysing anime as the purest form of art that mankind has ever managed to create. Only the mightiest and strongest ones can endure the burden to know the truth. Preach it, peasants.

There's only one major flaw in your system:
Your MAL stats for Days of Anime watched won't accurately account for that.

Literally trash!

It's viable only for very fast paced action scenes but watching a whole episode like this would be torture.

P.S. I don't like torture.

It would destroy musical scores that could be potential favorites of mine since I would be unable to hear them in their intended state. I live for the OSTs.

I have enough anime to watch already so there's not point in watching anime at a quarter the speed taking 4x the amount of time I should be taking. Garbage idea, 1/10, try again later. I also don't like the idea of speeding up anime, though. The producers made the anime in the way they want it to be watched. If you watch it in your own stupid way you won't get out of it what they wanted you to.

Ordinary speed NGE is shit because you can't clearly see Asuka and Rei's boobs and you can't make out that the sounds of EVA 01 were made by the fairest squirter back in the day. Come back when you'll have watched every Ghost Stories episode on 0.25 speed.

I also suggest this new revolutionary anime watching way: watch the top half and bottom half of the video separately. This way you will be able to better focus on the details of each of the half. This is opposite to the heretics who watch 2 episodes on 2 monitors.

That's weak, I only watch 26 episodes on different screens.

Jeezus, and make it slower than it is? It's bad enough that it's a slower medium than reading and you want to slow it more?

Only retards do it slow. #3xspeedmasterrace

How dare name such an incompetent player? Winners only watch anime on a fresh Windows 95 OS while majestic MIDI is played in the background.

Watching girl head's explosion scene at 0.25 speed would help to understand the greatness of the scene to everyone. It's just the best scene of every fiction of all time but people don't care.

Mars of Destruction is so underrated.

I think the dialouge is too slow and isn't good idea to slow down the speed for new series likes now (2010 or up)

BTW i rather going for normal speed because i can do that benefit all in normal speed

I wonder, isnt watching the episode 4 times better? or 8 times at double speed?


Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself.

That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes!

IIRC, the TV aired anime actually speeding their airing to give more sapce for ads.... so most of illegals tv rip we saw actually faster than how it should be... i can't confirm this thou, since i got this in internet forum too...

however, i usually does slower the play too in 2 condition
> the dialogue is soo fast, i have no time to read sub... my recent example is saiki
> to appreciate sakuga animation... nichijou for example...
