Why even watch than? lol Why are you multitasking an mmo and an anime in the first place? How can you enjoy a show that way? If the question is do you like subbed anime that you've already seen as background noise than the answer is yes. I have background stuff every now and then while I come on MAL or something lol. Why is everyone assuming I am not enjoying the anime or dont find it entertaining..I never ever SAID or IMPLIED this. |

Feramoo said: Intense said: Okay but why are you even watching something you are not into? Don't watch it if you feel the need to play games at the same time? saying you "want to get more things done" when talking about something you're supposed to do for your enjoyment, sounds silly. It's not a job or anything, what's the point lol as for the question though, not really, because I understand enough without having to glue my eyes to the screen for every line that comes up, but the most I ever really do while watching anything, is talk to someone When did I ever say I dont enjoy what I watch? Look at my profile and you will see how picky I am. but you literally did say that though Feramoo said: Basically I love subs but I am someone who enjoys watching something while I perhaps play a game on my handhelds or my comp and sometimes if it is an anime I know im not that into I will go ahead and do this anyway only glancing at the screen occasionally and in general I get the gist but does anyone else with no to limited knowledge of japanese have this issue? |

Reread that again. I said IF it is an anime that I may not enjoy THAT much then I dont care as much to fully pay attention. If I am watching something I really enjoy like lets say Jojo part 4 coming up then my attention is more diverted between two things. |
|
That's literally not even possible lmao. How can you play an mmo and watch a show and give them both your undivided attention? You can't expect you enjoy something if you're only putting in half the effort. |

You can add as many ifs as you'd like, but it still says you're not really enjoying it, because you wouldn't need to be playing games if you did. I don't understand why you'd watch something you know won't be interesting enough to keep your attention, but whatever floats your boat I guess. |

| I'm the kind of person who literally don't want to miss even one second or word of what I'm watching so I don't multitask at all. At most, I might eat something simple (e.g. rice and beans which you can just scoop into your mouth). |
Gabagool said: That's literally not even possible lmao. How can you play an mmo and watch a show and give them both your undivided attention?

|
| I half understand Japanese anyway, so it's usually just a case of glancing at the subs if a sentence was too complex for me to get it. Reading subtitles was absolute hell when I first started doing it. I think Code Geass was one of the first ones I watched subtitled, and the fast action scenes coupled with monologues to help you understand what the fuck is happening made it super hard. I just couldn't handle the dub, man. Like, Johnny Yong Bosch as Lelouch was passable, but everyone else was pretty poor. Hence switching to subs and becoming the trash I am today. |
 |
| It's hard as hell to multitask when watching a japanese anime, but the thing is even when it's dub it's hard. I mean why watch something entertaining and do other stuff at the same time? I, personally, try to be as free of all the work other than anime as possible. But with dub, it's probably easier. |
| Thinking..... |
Deserada said: You might be having a hard time multitasking because it is impossible for humans to do. True. I am a psychologist and I can say with confidence that you cannot successfully do 2 things at one time. Its either you dont understand so well what you are watching or you kept losing your games. |

My bad, this whole time I thought YOU were the one wondering why YOU couldn't read subtitles for one show and still somehow do other things at the same time. Evidently it was me all along. I'm the moron who thinks you're having trouble doing 2 or more things at once because you can't comprehend the fact that it's impossible for your brain to give undivided attention to multiple things at once. MY BAD... Please forgive me. |

| I never like multitasking for anything. I don't even like listening to music when I work, for example. |
| I watch animes only with subs & mostly I'm eating and chatting on phone while watching. |

Feramoo said: Ok sure multi tasking in general is impossibleish but I dont just get the gist of things and I dont halfass. Maybe you cant do it, maybe a lot of people cant but I can tackle two things roughly at the same time and be fully aware of what I am doing. Go be an dick somewhere else. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=95256794 Don't thank me~ It sounds anyway pretty obvious that if you can mmo at the same time is that you're not totally into the anime. Which is actually a waste of time. |
| Why even bother watching something, if you're not gonna pay attention to the show?! |

Comic_Sans said: Not at all I was born to become a master anime watcher and subway surfer playing multitasker Well then you sir must be the chosen one. |
|
| It's not about whether I can or not... I never do anything else while watching anime because not being fixated on the screen would waste away the enjoyment of the experience. To get the most out of my anime experience, I need to see every pixel all the time. If I look away for just a moment, I'll skip back 5 seconds to ensure that I didn't miss anything. |
 |
| I don't have any problems with this. (And I'm not just saying that as I've done multitasking on Anime that would've absorbed me completely but the only Anime that did that was Attack On Titan and Anime before Moe infestation happened) Hell even with subs I can eat,drink,sin (Animesins),iron while watching subbed Anime. It's not like irons hard but a lot of Anime lately barely pull me into such a level like before, or it could be because the stories aren't exciting anymore or it could be because a lot of the modern Anime have school settings that it's hard to differentiate between them. That's my two cents on the matter. |
| I play video games. You should play a video game because you read my signature. |
| I do that occasionally, it's a challenge of giving equal attention. |

Instead of saying that my comment was stupid (I wonder why it was as I even took the time to give you a source) explain why my comment (as well as the link I gave you) is stupid to you. Be a man. If you want my honest opinion, I think you just want to be an elitist on MAL with lots of anime watched. Seriously dude, you have a mean score of 3.7 and you're saying "I totally enjoy what I watch" ... come on. Don't be a fool. |

To be fair for a long period there I was forcing myself to watch things I disliked just to say I had seen them. These days I really tend to only put things up I know I am going to enjoy otherwise I know I am just forcing myself. |

Omuro said: Feramoo said: I guess most people are not as productive as I like to be. two birds with one stone. I enjoy being able to get a dissertation done while enjoying a show and I still manage to do these things while watching anime just a little more difficult but still manageable. Being able to focus on a task is a wonderful thing, it's a shame you'll never experience the joy of putting in 100% of your efforts into the completion of a task. Who knows, if you focus on your dissertation, you might be able to finish it 30 minutes earlier than you would have if you watched an anime episode while writing it, it might even end up being better written too. Remember, making something more difficult than it needs to be does not make you look smart or talented, it makes you look like a dumbass. Why do people always enjoy making assumptions..truly. |

| I only eat sometimes whilst watching anime, but when I do watch anime, I get very serious about it cause I want to understand everything the anime wants to tell me, but whenever someone messages me or invites me to do smth, I just pause the anime instead of multi-tasking.. I dunno why, but I take anime seriously, even tho my ratings wouldn't tell that, I rate anime on my own opinion, if I like it and I wasn't disturbed by anything (or if I was, but smth paid up for that), I rate it 10, you would rarely see me rating an anime with a low rating (Below 7 for me is low) P.S. I want to understand anime cause my favorite ones are Drama, Romance and Slice of life, and they normally have a deep meaning to them.. I also can't refuse smth with action and animation like Fate, Tokyo Ghoul, TTGL and etc.) |
Feramoo said: You said you played video games when you multitasked while watching anime. Wtf dude, when did we start talking about being productive. But really, how good does your essay turn out?Omuro said: I guess most people are not as productive as I like to be. two birds with one stone. I enjoy being able to get a dissertation done while enjoying a show and I still manage to do these things while watching anime just a little more difficult but still manageable.I'm pretty sure you need to reevaluate your interest in anime, mate. If anime is not interesting enough for you to give a large portion of your attention to, then you probably shouldn't be watching anime. If you want to dick around with your handheld games, then don't try to watch anime while playing them. If you want to watch anime, don't dick around with your handheld games. Anime watching isn't neurosurgery, my man, keep it basic. |

Except I do. Honestly the only barrier is language..as I have said if I am watching a dub there is no issue period. And this thread was never meant to sound like a complaint I was just curious if anyone else had this slight trouble sometimes haha |

| Eating and watching is fine for me. Anything else is too distracting. |
