No, I think you have an attention span problem if you feel the need to speed anime up. You might as well read the manga or something.

better option would be fast speed and 16 media players open at once. 1000 Anime in one week

1.5x speed is my limit; even at 1.5x speed, I can't enjoy anime at speeds higher than 1.5x because sometimes I can't understand what is being said if the voice actor has a bad accent or if his voice is not clear.

@BakuGoDokiDoki Why not just read the manga at that point? Pacing is almost always faster in manga, plus you can choose whether an artwork is worth appreciating for extra time.
@OrenjiDonatsu It's true that it's easier to control the pacing by reading the manga, but sometimes I find it hard to understand the scenes in the black-and-white manga, especially the fight scenes, which is why I choose to watch the anime instead.

Also, there are some anime that have been adapted from novels directly into anime, so I'd have to watch the anime if I want to see the character designs illustrated.

Still, reading manga is a good alternative! Thanks for the advice!

Nope, I watch anime at normal speed like most of us here

However I do skip some scenes when the anime is boring or when there's an unnecessary recap (hello One Piece)

Nope can't relate, I might skip the op and ed song. As well as the recap episode. But never do what you do.

I watch at 1.75 x always. It feels really odd when playing at normal speed

I watch on either 1.1x or 1.2x because 1x feels like characters talk too slowly. Sped up to that, it sounds like how normal people talk.

I do the same for a lot of Youtube videos.

What’s the point of watching something if you can only tolerate it at a higher speed? Sounds like you aren’t enjoying it and just watching it to put it on your list at that point.

I watched Gundam SEED Destiny at 4x speed, because watching that stupid boy Shinn Asuka at real time would put me to sleep. Same with his blonde psycho bitch. Again, I don't want to get to know some stupid kids in real time. Kids that make me want to bodily punish them like their soft parents never did. Stupid kids that make me want to chew on their asses like a drill sergeant.

Took that punkass boy forever to get a real girlfriend.

Playing anime at hypersonic speed sure helps when an anime is all TMI. Studios should save such details or trivial shit for someone that cares.

No, because I watch anime to enjoy it, not to tick boxes.
For the most part that is. There would be the rare anime I'll start but feels like it's dragging but not to the point I would drop it.

I mean my attention span is short too, but what even is the point if you watch everything sped up lol. Anime should be enjoyable as is, it's just a hobby. The only time I watch 1.25 or 1.5 speed is if I am rewatching an old season of something that got a sequel after many years and I want to refresh my memory of the story.

Not at all, if i have to watch an anime in a faster speed i'd rather drop it rather than just hate watch it.

I'd never even thought about changing the speed. I want to watch something the way it was intended to be watched.

I did that one time when I was drunk and one show I watched was boring af. I got such a good laugh watching it at faster speed and hearing high pitched voices. 11/10 would recommend.

I'm only taking a guess that most people here on MAL are probably only putting it as "completed" if they "watch" anime not in the normal speed, specially if most users on here don't want anime dubbed, like how're they going to be able to read the subtitles & know which character is saying what for the subtitles? The same goes for watching dubbed anime or anime without subtitles in a faster speed, as it'd sound weird. They're probably just trying to see who can have the highest completed number for anime they've "watched".

To me there's no point of watching something in a higher speed then the normal one. Like I said in my first post on the second page of this forum, it's not really watching anime if people watch it on a faster speed.

If I like the show: Normal Speed
If I'm watching my PTW on my list that I'm not interested: x1.5 Speed
If the show is generic isekai: x2 Speed cause most of the plot are linear with every isekai genre that I watch like I die, I isekai, I got power, I will kill the demon lord and so on.
If I wanna suffer (for example Abunai sisters and ex-arm): x4 Speed cause I don't have to think about what I am consuming and don't wanna suffer on normal speed I had enough 💀

Almost no. I tried a couple times to increase and decrease speed of OP/ED of "Monmusu", was quite funny. But never again.

Other than that, I only watch good anime or top-tier stuff at normal speed. Besides, I'm surprised that most of you kids have been reading subtitles so slow.

Imagine if someone paid a kid to read fast. Would the kid do it or be up to the challenge?

If you're really PhD material, then hypersonic to lightspeed reading and a having keen memory should be no surprise to you (my reading is ultrasonic at the very least).

Is your memory keen enough?
