| basically the title is it efficient for me to watch my anime in x4 but pause whenever there's dialogue so i can read and kinda grasp what i'm watching? |
| just read the manga since its all about reading more that way |
| If your goal is to consume as much anime and trying to comprehend what's going on in those stories, then yes, that would be quite efficient. Tho I would never ever ever recommend doing that, as many stories in anime are just so wonderful to experience. All the lingering moments, awkward silent pauses, gorgeous animations and amazing soundtracks which add on to the story. Not to mention voice acting which is amazing. |
 |
| maybe you can lower it to a more reasonable 3.5x |
 |
| No it is not efficient. You need to pump those numbers up kid! try 10x |
 Truly a Divine Comedy  |
| *FACEPALM* Sure kid, that'll be real efficient. You'll be able to claim the highest completed count in maybe 5 years instead of 20. You apparently have no grasp on reality, so that will fit right in with not grasping anything about anime at 4x. |
 You're never too old to watch anime. If I ever stop watching anime, check my pulse I'm likely dead. I wake up with coffee & anime, I go to sleep with coffee & anime. Sorry if my sarcasm is bad, it's not my first language. |
| I think this person deserves a trophy |
| I think it's more efficient if you just first start at 00:00 then drag the progress bar directly to the end. ffs x4 speed wastes so much time! |
| Or you could just not watch anime that you feel the need to watch at more than normal speed. If you still do for some reason then x4 speed dubbed would be better. |
| By doing that, you'll be missing a lot of art details, soundtrack, voice acting and importantly, the feel/excitement you get while watching. Why do you even bother to watch anime, if you'll just end up rushing everything an anime is about? Just read the manga/LN/original source instead. Its faster that way. And you can comprehend things at your own pace. |
| Youre bad and you should feel bad. This should be illegal |
| Hmm if you're still enjoying it, then why not. I think there are anime like bakemonogatari that cannot be in high speed to avoid missing all the subtitle flavors if you're not used to it. |
| 3.5x speed is an ideal. So you need to stfu. |
| The most efficient way is jump to the epilogue... |
| 4x speed ? Phhhh fckn casual. Real fans watch anime in 16x speed on 8 screens at the same time. |
| Using x4 speed and then pausing to read the dialogues, kinda defeats the puropse of time saving, don't ya think. You can probably enjoy it a normal speed. If you still want to rush things, use x2. |
| Are people really getting this lazy with an industry they claim to love? |
 Ｓｗｅｅｔ♥I guess, as long as I have life, all I can do is fight with all my might. |
| You can try to read manga. You set your own pace. |
 |
| How come you want to watch an entire episode in 5 minutes? I'm sad that an episode only has ~21-22 minutes. |
| No not at all, you have to do it at x8 speed in order for it to be worth it |

| It is not efficient Tried it once but with 2x speed, annoying to keep pausing and reading. Besides, I'm watching anime for the action and hearing the characters' voices and all. But for series like One Piece it gets annoying after a while because pacing is slow af. But it won't help to multiply speed to speeden up the proces of watching, it's just too hard and annoying to do. The only option is to read the manga, if u want something faster paced and just want to read the story. |
| Why not just watch it in normal speed like you're supposed to? |
| I watch anime for enjoyment and doing something like this would make the viewing experience, well, not enjoyable. It's up to you obviously, but I would suggest not doing it. |
| Get good at listening and reading fast so you don't have to pause at all. Maximum efficiency! |
Least degenerate visual novel enjoyer.  |
| Sometimes I don't know if you guys are baiting or you're really this... dumb |

| What a PLeB! Real fans watch it 16x speed and 10 different anime on 10 different screens at the same time with subs and dubs. Up your game and not shit posting. |
 |
| If you are going to watch Anime sped up, why watch it at all? I seriously don't see the point of this. 1.2-1.5 I can sort-of understand, but x4? Since you don't really care about watching the Anime, you might as well just read summaries or reviews, save yourself some more time. |
 |
| How about you play it at normal speed, actually take in what's going on, and not worry about your MAL completion stat. |
 |
| The problem with watching series at 4x speed is the music is pretty ruined then which does not help accompany the scenes. I usually watch at a normal pace but go to 1.5x speed if everything is really slow. |
 |
| yes, but it works better when reading manga. |
| :v |
Shamo6 said: That's like watching it just to increase numbers in your list. If You feel like that in any anime just drop it maybe you missed my last thread, https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1742971 |
| Why the hell anyone want to do that??? |
| i see watching it in 1.5 or 2x speed because thats what im doing with jojo right now and i can still read all the subs in time and it makes some scenes look funnier lol. but 4x ? boi thats like not even readable. if u are gonna do that u might as well just not watch it at all |
My Candies:  |
| Yes, it is. I am glad you have found the most optimal way to watch anime too :). |

| Alot of Anime shows out there are enjoyable, however, despite being enjoyable, they can drag on in parts for far too long. One Piece is one of my favorite Anime Shows of all time, however, after 712 Episodes of non-stop enjoyment; I eventually hit a wall in which I was getting uncomfortable with the Arc's length (Dressrosa). I was planning on either skipping that Arc, or dropping the show entirely. Luckily, I discovered that by watching that dreadfully drawn-out Arc on 2x speed, I could complete an Episode in 7 minutes, thus I had witnessed everything that Arc had to offer without the need of skipping the Arc or dropping one of my favorite shows. My point is, just because you feel a need to make a show more urgent in its speed, doesn't mean you hate that show and should drop it. If you have watched enough of a show to know you love it, however, you want to burn through a boring/slow part of it quickly, do 2x speed. Do not go beyond that, as at that point you'd be torturing yourself. If you hate a show and just want to complete it, why bother? Just drop it and move on. |
Platypus7 said: After 8x speed you can no longer watch dubbed since the audio get so fucked you need to mute it anyway.Or you could just not watch anime that you feel the need to watch at more than normal speed. If you still do for some reason then x4 speed dubbed would be better. OT: It may be efficient, but since this is a media of entertainment meant to be enjoyed efficiency isn't something you need to strive for. |

| Unless it's one piece i don't think you should be watching anime at x4 speed. When your hobby turns into a chore, than maybe you should just stop and find something else to do. |
| If you're speeding it up to a point that you have to pause then you're wasting more time. The efficient method if you insist on speeding it up would be to match the pace you read. |
