well if you skip the op and ed than it takes you 1h to watch 3 episodes so it would still take you 8-9h
as for me I usually watch 2 ep a day, before bed, sometimes 3, even 4
so It takes me around 6-7 days for the most part

Depends on conditions. Generally I binge then pause for days, weeks or month then rebinge then pause.

Can go from a month to a day, depends on the show and the amount of free time I'm willing to dedicate to the show.

Well if you increase the speed you really need to reconsider watching anime cause no one enjoying a show will do that.

It really depends on how much I like the show, and how much time I have. In optimal circumstances, a day, maybe two days. Usually around two weeks or so, with my previous schedule. Now, it would be around a month.

Depends on the series and how busy I am. Usually it takes me around 2 weeks unless I really like it, then it would be about 4-5 days.

could take me ages
about 2 1/2 weeks if it interests me a good bit

I have college and work and i'm also heavily active on discord so I do lots of other things outside of watching anime

It would take me around 2 weeks. In the past it would take me say 3/4 days but I don't have as much time.

It depends on how interesting it is, I'll usually binge watch it if it's a day off if its really interesting or 2-3 days max if I'm not off work+uni. Although, if the show is a bit slow it may take me longer, like about a week or two. And if the show sucks I'll either put it on hold or drop it lol

Totally depends on the flow of the slow and the genre. E.g. after I survived the crappy Exam arc of Hunter x Hunter I basically spent 5 to 10 hours a day watching the rest, so I was finished in under 2 weeks. On the other side there is Moribito with a total boring middle part. It took me a year to finish it.

But right now I would say several weeks. I dont have the time and the willpower to binge watch something and it is really hard to draw me in. But if a 9/10 or 10/10 candidate appears (e.g. True detective season 1) I also can spend 5 hours a day or even more to watch something. But I just cant bring up myself anymore to spend hours and hours to watch a 7/10 series. Ofc I dont dislike this series, but its just not good enough to keep me entertained to not even consider breaks or doing something else.

It frightens me that people can watch 14 episodes or more of an anime in a day.

To answer the question, I don't watch many longer series (more than 13) but when I have/do, I can finish it in maybe a week if I keep a steady pace.
It also depends on my interest and what device I watch it on.
Of course, most anime I watch is all seasonal so it will take me about 26 weeks or more.

Depends on show. My average is 2-3 days; over a weekend, as i have no time during the work week. On binge weekends, I will watch a 26 EP series in a day on Saturday, and another on Sunday.

Crap. I have no life.

A day. I can binge anime for hours on end if I don't have any due dates, games to play, etc.

Anywhere from a month to three months. I usually find that I have more urgent matters to attend to.

I depends, if I'm binge watching it, it'd take maybe a day.

If I'm taking my time though it could easily be a few days to a week.

Also kind of depends if I have nothing to do or if I want to go outside and do stuff.



All the Anime's on my list are all one's I own Personal physical copies of, or have seen in theaters that I plan on buying, series that I've watched on FUNimation or HIDIVE will not be on here unless/until I have already bought it.

4.5 hours over 2 days, or 2 weeks, or 2 months, depending on how good it is. Or 20 minutes if it sucks.

Why do you increase the speed? Do you feel the same enjoyment as a result? I usually try and watch at least 3 episodes a day. So, that would mean that I could watch a 26 episode series in about 10 days. Obviously, that's only a hypothetical situation.

It depends on the anime. If I'm really into it then maybe 4 days and if I have to watch because a friend of mine will kill me if I don't then around 2 weeks or so.

Purely depends on how much I enjoy the show, if I really enjoyed the show maybe 2-3 days or even one day maybe. But I'm also still watching To Love-Ru after over a year of it being on my watch list.

Probably 1-2 weeks considering I watch seasonals. If I'm focusing on it then maybe 2-3 days.

Usually around 1-2 days. [Depending on my work]
I don't increase speed - because it seems stupid to me - to mess with the show's pacing/tempo.

Rofl, it's like asking how long do you take to shit? I do it quicker because I take laxatives.

If given the opportunity I'd be able to knock a 26 episode in about a day. Well, a day if it's good. Otherwise I tend to pace myself between 2-3 days.

It really depends on the over all enjoyment plus, if i dont tend to enjoy the OP i would skip it, anyway you would be surprised on how much time that saves .

Because anime are very slow paced. Animation costs money, going slow means it's cheaper. If I didn't speed it up I'd fall asleep between sentences or be forced to do other things like post on MAL while "watching" the show.

Mell8 said:

No, it's more enjoyable because it isn't mind-numbingly slow and boring. You get exactly the same out of it, just faster. You will very quickly get used to it and not even notice it.

i assume i finish 2 ep in a hour, so 26/2 13 hours or less since i skip the OP/ED. (if i want to spend a day watching anime) Otherwise ill split the ep into 2 days so 13 ep a day.

I could't calculate it because, first of all, I don't like to watch just one anime at once.. i like to watch 7-20 at least.... so, that way i think i finish in 1; 1,5 month.. but if the show is really enjoyable to me, i guess I finish it in 1 week....

Four or Five days, I guess. If the anime isn't really interesting - it will take the way longer.

Truly depends. Because of school and such, it might take me 5+ days. But if it is something I truly enjoy a lot and I have a lot of time and don't have to worry about homework and so on, it might take me 2-4 days.

If I have a good run, two days.
A 50-episode series can be done within a week.
