| Just wondering how many psychopaths commit such atrocity because I personally know one irl who finishes an anime by skipping "boring" scenes and finishes a 12 ep anime in 2 hours. Also, why? |

| No but I tend to skip openings and endings after listening to them for 3 times. Does that count in your definition? |

DrSexy said: No but I tend to skip openings and endings after listening to them for 3 times. Does that count in your definition? No, that's just the songs, not scenes and that's quite common/normal |
|
| The only scenes I skip are the ones with Taiga’s father (Toradora) It’s just…. Too….. painful….. Aside from that I don’t skip scenes or most openings |
| My poor signature was removed because it “took up too much space” |
| I may watch some boring fillers on 1.5. When it comes to canon episodes, I do this only if there's a horrible episode... I had to do this while watching orange road, some episodes were so cringey, horrible and disgusting that I literally punched the wall out of anger. I just couldn't stand watching some of the episodes at normal speed. |
| Imagine making anime a job. To each their own, but, y'know, dropping things exist. |
| No, but I do watch the best or funniest or most interesting scenes at .5x or even .25x so that they last longer. Like, there was this one episode of Sansha Sanyou that took me 2 hours to watch. |
 |
| If an anime is that bad that I can't even sit through it in 1x speed, then I might as well proceed to drop it. |
 Maybe try sleeping? |
| People that do this just want to increase their number of finished anime...no, saving time isnt the reason why...if these people wanted to save time, they would just stop watching or skip the episode. Why not watch a bunch of movies, that way you increase the number without wasting time |

|
| I always watch Youtube videos at 2x speed, but I'd never do that with anime, tv series and movies. Sound and directing are too important, I'd rather drop than ruin them. However, I can't exclude the possibility that some anime I dropped due to boredom might be more enjoyable at 1.5x or 2x speed, but I'm not gonna do that anyway. |

| People who watch anime (or any other media) with increased speed should seek help |
| Haven't done it yet, though there were really times where I'm tempted in doing so. |
 |
| I only did that with NGE and FLCL because it wasn't interesting to me in the slightest. But I don't like doing it cause it ruins the experience that the Director and author was trying to make. |

Skipping the scenes or the entire episodes doesn't make sense if you want to know what's happening in the story because you know, some people might actually care about things like that. |
| ????? he finishes a 12 ep series in only 6 eps worth of watching time? dafuq i'm sorry but what is he even retaining at that point, the anime is just going to be a huge blur. is that even fun lol i don't ever watch anime on a different speed. i very rarely will skip scenes unless it goes under a long and drawn out explicit type'a shit, but i don't tend to watch those anime in the first place. even if it's boring, i think, "what if i miss out important details that are crucial later?". and it isn't always true as usual. i do rewind scenes though. even outside of anime, i like to focus on one person's reaction at a time - just that person alone. then i'll rewind it again to look at another person. and the other. or just groups of people/the audience in general. it's incredibly annoying to pause on pirating sites with all the advertisements but fk it if i'm not satisfied. |
| The only time i watched anime not in 1x speed was when i watched Aku no Hana. At the time i watched it in 1.25x speed. Other than that, never. |
  I play BanG Dream! Girls Band Party Garupa EN ID: 10759829 Garupa JP ID: 36753163 |
| Sometimes I watch anime on 1.25x speed when I'm hurrying so I can watch the next episode already when I know there's gonna be a lot more interesting things gonna happen in the next eps and mostly I don't probably because I wanna enjoy every second in that anime specially when it's a short series or a movie. |

| How hard can it be to endure a few "dull" minutes of a series you're interested in? (I mean you're watching it for a reason and slower parts pay-off) If the urge to skip a scene comes up frequently then it's about time to drop ma dawg. |

Literally speed running anime He's the type of person who skips every video game cutscenes/story and is only there for the gameplay; even Persona 5. Tells you a lot and I'm guessing low attention span |
|
| I watch at 1.25 or 1.5 depending on pace of the show. I also skip op/ed (after listening to them once) and scenes with dialogues that don't really matter. Because of this i usually finish an episode in just 16-17 mins which helps me watvh as many episodes as i can in the limited time I get. |
 |
Dragevard said: well damn. i have a low attention span too but i guess where i differ is in the opposite: i legitimately don't finish it and keep it on watching forever. (hence my 121 watching series count) the gameplay is also on contrary the receiver of my ire compared to the cutscenes and story of a game. i'm trying to get through the tedious gameplay to hear more plot fed to me. but whatever floats his boat.Cazqui-09 said: so... basically eating the good toppings off of a cake and tossing the cake? has he said why he likes to speed run dungeons anime?

Just low attention span I guess edit: even persona 5??? hah??? that game had such heavy dungeon crawling that i got burnt out over, and this was with my new release hype active. i'm gonna guess the slice of life daily aspect also wasn't his thing, yet there i was, stressing over the calendar. |

| I mean, they're not even really watching the show at that point. |
| I've only done it for Sleeping with Hinako because it's impossible to watch at normal speed (49 minutes of pretty much nothing) and for some reason I was curious about it. Found a helpful Youtube video that played it at around 16x speed. Then watched the parts where something actually did happen at normal speed, and I think I got the full experience minus the boredom. Otherwise never. |
| After watching 200 anime watching them got boring so I always watch in 2x or 1.25 as I find many scenes cringe worthy’s and don’t find any difference in watching 2x or 1x as it’s in Japanese so I don’t understand a thing and reading subtitles fast isn’t that hard |
 |
| usually not, but when I'm watching that's so unbearably boring or unfunny (to me) I play it in 2x speed. I can't help it. |
| one piece episode 321 15:46 (or 16:33) you're welcome |

Care enough to speed it up xD The point of watching an anime, is to also experience the music, art, animation and direction of the anime(unlike in a manga). Small details like pauses in speeches(showcasing indecision or careful thinking), silence(to create tension) or small movements will be missed by the viewer Imagine watching Angel's Egg at 2x speed or doing the same on the Sparks scene in Berserk. 2x speed is a total different experience and your 1st experience with an anime is an unique moment that can't be replicated, no matter how many times you rewatch the same anime...believe me, I did it a bunch of times |

Especially when those scenes include particular content like rape or abuse WITHOUT ADDING ANYTHING TO THE STORY. |

| Watching on faster speed ruins the atmosphere and pace of the anime and there's no other reason to do it other than to increase your total anime count. I do skip some scenes but not entire episodes |
| I did that only two times until now: last season of Oregairu mainly because the prom arc was the most boring thing I've watched and because I was rooting for Yui, and final season of AOT because I've read the manga and didn't like the ending. Actually, AOT was over for me after this happened |

| I sat through 3 whole pointless seasons of a character in a coma dream and all the Naruto filler. If someone with a shit attention span who gets bored as easily as me can do that, then there's now excuse for anyone to not be able to sit through 1 or 2 boring scenes...If you can't even do that, then you might as well skip that show entirely. |

| I skip forward many times per episode. There are hardly exceptions. |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
couldn't agree more |
|
| Absolutely not, what's the point in that lmao? |

I also meant to say sped up ✌🏻 Skipping it or watching it sped up, it's all not really for me. They were definitely special. It's rare to see so unlikable charas portrayed in such a casual way. I think most viewers are too used to see characters like that getting some sort of punishment or redemption later down the line. That's why them doing their business without consequences could rub you the wrong way. |

|| I skip op & Ed after listening to them the first episode. And the only thing I skip is in Pokémon when Team Rocket is reciting their motto. I watched Magia Record on 1,5x speed because it's the same concept as Madoka so I was familiar with and now I'm back to watching normally. I needed the change of pace for a bit. |
 |
| I rarely watch at any other speed than 1x and when I do I'm usually meme watching it. |
  |
| Bro, if you do that you're a psycho!! I know that some time the scene in painful to watch, but you can't even follow the subtitle in 2x or you could end up missing important information  |
| I never, EVER say how to and how not to watch anime. But those 16 (as of this comment) who do this, you're watching anime wrong. |
| Only ever done it with one anime, but it wasn't because I wanted to finish it faster. I genuinely think the pacing and dialogue delivery was slow and watching it at 1.5x made the show better |
