I watch every anime at normal speed except for Dragonball Muscle Tower arc, I think I watched 2 episodes at 1.25x because the fights were so drawn out…

I never understood this. Why watch faster if you are (probably) not enjoying what you are watching? I'd like to know why.

I did that on the last few episodes of Gundam Wing because they were crap but I don't understand people who do it on everything they watch.

Depends, I can watch dubbed stuff at 1.75 speed, but probably couldn't do that with subs. Once or twice I've watched raw Korean & Japanese stuff at 2x speed, as I'm not going to understand it anyway.

Because i watch anime for enjoyment. Not for completing them just for the sake of it. Watching at a faster speed makes it unenjoyable.

I think I've only tried that once or twice on an Anime I checked out but felt kinda slow. Or maybe it was an Anime that I was beginning to get sick of but am already halfway through, so I forced myself to finished it? Can't remember what Anime that was though.

I always watch YouTube videos at 2x speed but I'll never do that with anime, I'd rather drop them (even though I'm sure that some of my dropped would have been more enjoyable at 2x speed).

If I take a long break in the middle of some series, I rewatch a few episodes before where I left off at high speed (1.5x-2x), but otherwise not really.

No but Boruto might get me to start watching anime at faster speeds. Alors, I failed to reach the character minimum, again. Oh, woe is me. I guess I'll just have to pad this reply with something obscene and pornographic. But what? Perhaps lewd pictures of Master Roshi x Gohan?

Always at normal speeds... unless I'm watching something random that's getting boring and I'm just finishing it to complete it. But that has only happened like once or twice. Also when I watched Dragon Ball GT (lol)

I’ve only watched it in normal speed, anything slower or faster sounds really odd.

If it's not worth watching at normal speed, it's not worth watching.

I do occasionally accelerate short sections, if I know exactly what's going to happen and it's the bad/repetitive side of this show. But only short sections, and not for most things.

I watched inu sans dog's in 2x speed after a certain point....


thats about it. everything else i watched normally.

that one show was just too boring and empty of anything even remotely important.

why did i finish it?

cause half way through i realized it may be the first anime that i gave a 1/10 to.

spoiler alert, it was.

it was a high 1/10 though if that means anything to anyone.

I don't usually do it but when I do I put it at 1.05x at most, which is barely noticeable.

I've only sped up anime once, and that was only one episode out 12 because I was already too deep in to just drop it. In general though, I don't see the point in speeding it up. You don't get a medal for the most amount of anime watched in the least amount of time, and I feel like it loses it's value if you're trying to speed through it.

No, I don't watch anime at higher speeds, if I don't like the anime it just sits in my watching list until I have realized that I have not watched it since 3 months or so. Also, I am proud to say I watched entirety of one piece without skipping or speeding. (Excluding the episodes that promote one piece movies, I have watched those movies so it doesn't matter as much)

I didn't like speed-watching before, but I've taken to it lately.
If it's anime like Chainsaw Man and Vinland Saga, I'd watch it at normal speed; I'd even rewind certain scenes or watch it several times because the art and music are just that good, and I'm invested in the story.

However, there is just too much anime to watch, and some have dozens of, even hundreds of episodes. Recently I've been watching Assassination Classroom at 2x speed, because the pacing was a bit slow for me, the art is good but not superb, and the soundtrack felt repetitive. Also, I could follow the plot even though I'm watching subbed version and at 2x speed.

Why am I still watching the anime then? Because I'm interested in the plot and what happens next. I'm aware that I might not be able to fully get into the atmosphere if I speed-watch it. But I already know I'm not gonna be particularly touched just from this soundtrack and this plot. I'm not watching it to be emotionally invested in it; I'm watching it just because I want to know how the story is gonna progress.

In my opinion, I think it's acceptable to speed-watch some anime, but not the high-budget ones where every frame is an artwork of itself, and not if you want to be emotionally invested in it.

I never had done it till last month when I started watching Beast Tamer, this anime is so crap that I was watching it at 3x. I know that I could just drop it, but for some reason I want to finish it despite it being so crap.

Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength.

@Palets I get you! Sometimes I still finish the whole thing because I just wanna know what happens next even though I'm super disappointed in it.
This has happened to me when I was watching Ajin season 2. 2x all the way...

I always watch anime at 1.5x speed. Even though it is a really enjoyable anime, I just can't watch it at normal speed. It just feels off for me now that its become a habit to watch anime in faster speed.

1x speed, because I have a normal attention span like everyone else. It's really weird to speed up a show if its not just a single scene you want to skip through.

Majority of anime I watch at 1.5x, I've got "infected" with that way of watching as my ex was watching youtube like that and I started doing the same and I do that till today. The only anime I watch at 1x in nowadays is Bleach. For stuff which are having a slow pacing or are a lil bit too boring I would go with 2x speed.

yes. I often watch at 1.20x speed. The difference is pretty minimal(maybe I just got used to it). I still really enjoy watching. I just don't wanna spend too much time watching since I have other stuffs I need to do. I often put it back to normal speed if Its approaching my top 10 or I just simply have enough time and wanna savour it

anything above 1.25x is just too fast and I doubt you'll still enjoy. just dont grind mal stats, pls enjoy show

No, good OST's would be wasted. Characters voices would sound weird. It will be more challenging when watching with subtitle. Just normal speed.

I almost always watch them at normal speed. There are 2 types I don't: the "it's boring but I wanna know the ending/if it gets better" and the "it's boring but it was recommended by a friend" type.
