| I won't post a link just yet but I've built a little web app thing that could make it easier to watch anime (and other videos as well) together with someone else, or a group online. I wondered if anyone would be interested in talking about it and going through it through DMs etc... I've seen people mention 'syncplay' and a couple of others so it would be cool to see how it compares. Let me know if you wanna help out / play around with it. |
| too many cooks spoil the broth in small group you can just syncronize pressing play but omg @ that 2008 join date :OOOGemini of the Meteor is newer than your last profile message |
 |
| its better to find a core group than asking rando's to watch never know who might troll |

| Me and a friend (and sometimes more) do this, we've watched a lot, like 3 seasons of Minami-ke + other stuff like shitty shorts for 10+ hours at a time. |

| This is a pretty good idea, although I know with me it would be hard to nail down the schedule that we could all be available. Are used to do this in college when a lot of us could get together and watch it in the same room. Alas the days of Internet laziness.... |

| Never saw the need to use some random website or app for what a simple 3..2...1..go! can do just as well. I've simulwatched literally hundreds of anime like that. There's a thing like overreliance on technology, you know :>. The biggest problem when it comes to larger groups of people isn't the synchronicity but rather the scheduling itself. Trust me, it's hard to get the timing right with more than 3 people especially when everyone is from different timezones. Plus chat becomes a mess too and isn't really like a conversation anymore when too many people are involved. So I never really wanted to simulwatch in larger groups anyway. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Watching anime with a group in https://www.rabb.it/ is cancer |
 |
| Sounds like a cool concept, though I've already watched some shit in a group on rabb.it which pretty much everyone uses. |

| I enjoyed watching alone more tho. But nice suggestion. |

| Is anyone interested in trying it out or going through the idea in private? |
| Who watches anime as a group? It sounds like the oddest thing to do if you aren't a child |
 |
| I guess it's a more sociable way to do it without it having to be in person. Like twitch or live on youtube. Either way what I'm working on isn't just for Anime but I wanted to talk to people about it - similar to Rabb.it except you just drop in a link and go. |
| Watching anime with friends is funny and enjoyable tbh. Especially with friend whom we could discuss with, not just hanging around. Mostly on rabb.it with screen sharing extension. |
 |
| Why would I want bunch of random weirdos screeching nonsensical crap while I masturbate to my cartoons???? |

| Naah watching online with someone works only if u know the ppl. Since I'm too lazy and usually just lay on bed with my hello kitty dress and watch anime so I'd be too distracted since they'll probably have too much energy, while I might fall asleep anytime. LOL. I'm more into meeting friends and watching tho it happens rarely cuz everyone is busy and I could watch anime like all of a sudden when everyone is sleeping. |
| Sounds like a great idea, but that would require socializing. >w<; |
| There's already a website that lets you synchronize videos. It only works with Youtube, though :/ |
  Crying doesn't mean you're weak. Enduring doesn't mean you're strong. |
| I've always found rabbit to be slow and frustrating. Having folks do their video stuff at the same time made it worse. Just chat was fine though. If your app runs better than rabbit then that'd be great! I'd love to help test it, but I'm pretty busy, sadly.;; I should be doing a whole bunch of things other than posting this reply right now to be honest. |

| I have only done the 3...2....1.... thing mostly but i have done a few sessions of rabb.it with some friends watching hentai together, both males and females so it was pretty fun i wouldn't mind doing more down the road but for the most part i just watch things solo. |

| How do you not use rabb.it? Only downside is rabb blacklisting popular anime sites (bc of heavy traffic I assume). I usually rip the direct link to episodes from my browser and copy to rabb's browser. |
 |
| Sounds fun. I want to spoil whatever anime the group is watching and laugh at the reactions. |
 |
+1 I've been simulwatching with friends on MAL since 2011, hundreds of shows and I never saw the need for any tools or apps like syncplay or anything else. Seems like a classic case of overcomplicating something that, at the base, is extremely simply and doesn't need any accessories. e: lol this was an old thread so I just repeated myself. Welp. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Nah..... I would like to be alone to watch. No talking, no sharing of food and no spoiling. |
 |
| Watching Neo Yokio with my group of friends was the time of my goddamn life (^: |
| At the moment if I wanna watch anime with others, I use rabb.it |
| Tried rabbit before with a bunch of online people I knew, wouldn't necessarily call them friends but it wasn't the best idea. Maybe it was the wrong crowd of people but it toxic memeing shit with not much discussions. I like pretty much simulwatching the way @Pullman described it as, like I've tried most of the options but it doesn't even really fit into my life right now anyways trying to schedule when to watch x episode together whether sync with video or through rabbit. |
 |
| Nothing quite like gathering up a bunch of your friends, sitting down on a couch with some popcorn, and popping in the director's cut Blu-ray edition Oni Chichi: Rebirth |
| I can't say i know from experience, since i don't know anyone to do that with. What are you supposed to do if someone has to go do something, make everyone pause? Too much chaos for me. Watching with a group of people seems like it would be more of a hassle than it would be enjoyable. Using something like skype to discuss is much easier. Buuuuut maybe that's just me. |
| What's your rush now? Everyone will have his day to die. |
| I dont tell my new circle that I watch anime so nah. |

| I like watching with friends. We all like the same shows for the most part. |

| I would at least try it but might not be easy to find one that none of us have watched |
| Sonic X is basically an isekai |
| Not really interested. I rather watch anime at my own pace, because having to watch with others is a form of obligation. |
