| I don't rlly want to shame anyone who actually speeds up anime, in fact, I've done it before I'm not gonna lie. I only did it when One Piece was releasing one anime episodes which felt like half a chapter. Honestly, I think I made my experience worst by doing this. When I sped through One Piece, I put myself in a position where I just wanted to finish the goddamn episode and barely understanding what I was watching. Some people here who do it kinda get on my nerves. I was scrolling through some reviews and found one where this dude could not take the first three episodes and just "sped through the rest of the show in 2.0x speed." Like is watching anime enjoyable at this point? I've seen anime where it's boring in the beginning and ends alright. Even if you are enjoying the show I feel like it takes away some of the enjoyment because how can one read subtitles/listen so fast while paying attention to what's going on? I'm sorry if I offended anyone but how do y'all feel about people who watch anime at a faster speed, and do you do it? I feel like I'm writing about a stupid topic but I haven't seen anyone talk about this in these forums. |

| some of the people who do that aren't really, genuinely interested in the work, but are rather interested only in having another sweet +1 in the completed list asap. |
| well they do that to save time and watch more episodes in a given time than usual... what's so hard to understand about it if they can keep up with the subs then it's all good |
| Sometimes I speed up what I'm watching, not as far as 2x but like 1.1x to 1.5x. There are a couple of different reasons, like being on a time crunch, or the characters are speaking very slowly (mostly a problem with dubbed anime) I speed up other media sometimes as well, like youtube videos, so I don't think speeding up a show should be treated any differently. |

| Here's the thing, playing an anime at a faster speed only really affects the audio and some of the animation (Some animation gets better and some get worse). For people who watch subs, it really only matters if you can't keep with the speed of the text, that is unless the pay a lot of attention to the voice acting and music. And yes, some people can keep up with subs while watching it at 2x, especially if they're experienced. You have to remember though, most people who do this only do it for shows that they find boring, i.e. they aren't interested in what's happening on screen or there's not much happening anyway. Besides, I don't think there are many people who watch all of their anime sped up. I watch shows that I find boring on faster speeds and I usually find that it definitely makes it better. And yeah, yeah I could drop shows that I find boring but I try not to drop things. |
| I don't understand it. If you don't like it or don't have enough time simply don't watch. Personally, I've never speed up any show. |
 |
| I hate speeding up the episode. The people I’ve met who speed up the episode just do it to flex (for some reason). |
| I hate the sense of incompletion that comes with skipping filler, so honestly, I just speed up filler to get back to the main storyline, then I put it on normal speed. I've only done this with 2-3 shows though. |
| Just watched hyouka at 4x speed, thank goodness I did because even then I was still bored... how much more for regular speed Now if you want the full emotional impact as the creators intended, of course watch at the speed you're supposed to. But more often than not there's just alot of downtime in the scenes and all that precious time can be cut away by using 1.5x or 2x speed. It's like reading manga, you can flip through that stuff pretty quickly. But when it gets the adaption then you are forced to go along with the speed the characters talk, when really you can read the subtitles much, much faster. Increased speed is just for us who want to get to the main point of the anime more quickly |

| i prefer anime with 10-12 episodes. cuz it ends pretty fast .don't wanna stick to an anime for too long cuz it starts to look like a kids cartoon |
 OBAMOS |
| Maybe to skip the slow parts and get to the "good stuff" if there even are any. |
 |
| Give the names. Tag that person so we can spit and stone them :D |
 |
| Most people who watch like that don't watch for the content, They watch it to certify that they watched the show and have the right to (Put it on the completed list, Shit on it, And watch the coming seasons that could be better), I never understood how people are cool with doing that, It takes so much from the experience and even if the show got a bet better, You wouldn't notice since you're butchering it, The music's gone, The voice acting's gone, The dialogue most of the time gets overwhelming that you either REALLY focus on understanding everything at 2x speed or just not care if you missed fifth of the conversation, If it's a mystery/thriller/phycological etc, Then the atmosphere's gone, Jokes will barely land since the timing is muffled, Also, Since it's faster so just noticing the things on screen gets generally harder since you have less time, This is the part where nearly everything gets affected since you're trying to look at the background art but shit the characters are saying stuff, And I still don't get the 40 sentences that they said before that and it's just a lot harder to try to take the show from a critical perspective since you're brain is working on 2x speed. |
| I don't speak English that much, so please cut me some slack |
| the way i see it - people who are doing so are justify themself in all kind of claims, true or not, in the end they not: 1. experiencing the way it should be watched 2. really value what they watching 3. thinking only about themself and not about the anime and as a result they get the anime not how it should be, even if they.have good reason, they are changing their watching experiencing and then when they are used to it, when they try to watch it normally they just can't. i will admit that i tried only to understand how people do it. in 1.1x, and it was horrible. people don't have time to watch? people want to "skip" slow pace? people want to "get over with the anime" or whatever? no matter what the reason, today with players they can just click mysterious small button called "pause" and watch it later without setting yourself in what speed to watch, and if there's. a reason inside the episode itself that making you want to rush it, maybe the anime isn't for you or you shouldn't watch it or rather have more patient, or rather dropping it than ruin yourself the watching experience. have a nice good day. |
| I would rather do something else than watch anime sped up. |
 |
| Only if it's really boring and I want to see the ending. |
| bcuz i'm a completionist and i have problems with paying attention to one thing at a time |
| Some people may not have much time to watch anime, so they might want to watch the most anime they possibly can and still enjoy them in a shorter time. Sometimes when I don't have much time on my hands I watch at 1.25 or maybe 1.5, never anything higher since it would ruin the experience and thus wouldn't be worth it. |
 |
| If you watched it on fast forward you didn't really watch it. |
 |
| I don't know why some people do that. I can't imagine myself watching anime sped up. It doesn't feel right. Skipping openings, endings and/or recaps are fine by me though. |
| If an Anime is getting so bad that I consider watching it faster I might want to consider dropping the anime instead honestly. There have been only a few anime where I did that because I was almost finished anyways but honestly I wouldn't do that on a regular basis A good anime is good all the way through. If there are things that are so bad that you want to skip/2x them it's probably just not a good anime or not something for you |
| Because I want to see the sex scene with context, I don't like when onii-chan is simply banging his imouto-san, I want to know how they got there |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
Play2X said: I see a lot of butthurt people, who can't have it that people enjoy anime in a different way then they do. If people want to do that, let them. There is no universal law that tells us 'WATCH ANIME AT 1.0 SPEED OR YOU SHALL BE ERASED FROM EXISTENCE' or something like that. Oh, yes, there's something called Holy Bible and there they say that you MUST watch anime at 1x speed. |

I can't imagine myself watching anime sped up. It doesn't feel right. Skipping openings, endings and/or recaps are fine by me though. Actually, I think skipping openings in particular worse than speeding up slower parts, because openings are usually created in a way to set the mood for a series, and are the first contact point of the episode. Endings can be skipped if you binge the whole series in one day, same with Recaps (or if its One Piece). Let me get this straight, you don't skip OPs/EDs even if you don't like them ? Is there some kind of unspoken rule that you're not allowed to skip openings or something ? Cause if so, I've broken that rule waayy too many times and I don't plan on following it anytime soon. |
| Honsetly Ive havent watched anime at a faster pace but I did it to some gameplays but it really just makes it faster. You really dont notice it being faster after like a while And you really dont miss anything and it is better sometimes to be real. There isnt anything wrong with speed up anime. |

| Mainly I do that for boring episodes that happen from time to time. Sometimes due to lack of time. And does it matter if you can keep up with it? |

I understood Monster perfectly BECAUSE I watched it faster. and i was thrilled and enjoyed because the slow pace of monster, it made perfect sense to me, to say you understood it's like reading manga, what make anime special is the way things are performing and not the way they are writing, that's what makes anime special for me.there are a lot of excuses for watching faster. some make sense and some don't they don't make sense at all, you are just justify yourself to feel good, fast-forwarding anime is bad thing because you jus want to watch it faster than it is, ignoring the pace the studio wanted you to watch and watch it in the wrong way, and then call yourself you loved it, it's wrong, you didn't liked monster or other anime you watched it fast because the quality of it, but because you got rid of what bothered you in the anime, so instead confronts with the flaws or seeing their place in the production, you preferred to ignore them and claiming you loved the anime when you actually hated it. |

I'm not a critic. I don't analyze shit and criticize others for not appreciating shit as I do. so I don't care about the flaws monster has. because for all 74 episodes i was entertained by the fun it provided. if someone likes things this way then good for them. i don't care if it was "meant" to be watched like this. I'm watching it for ME not anyone else. ME |
