I personally prefer watching it in normal speed, but if I'm forcing myself to watch a slow-paced anime that I don't vibe with that much, I'll probably do it.

Never, I would maybe consider 1,5x speed for a boring show but at that point why would I watch it anyways ya know? I remember a friend of mine telling me he watched one piece in 2x speed to save time but I just don't see the merit in that.

That’s not how you consume any sort of media in general. By speeding it/slowing it down, you ruin the experience for it. It’s gonna piss anyone off (unless it’s a book, you can always read those at your own pace).

Y'all ever watch anime double the speed?
No I just drop it if I don't like it.
There is no point watching double speed.

Double speed? Meh.
I watched School Days on 4x speed. That shit is unbearable to watch, but for the sake of experimental, gotta finish it. Good things it only takes about an hour for the entire season.

No, but if it's something I really like I slow it down, so that it lasts longer. Only those who have watched Aria at .25x can be considered true fans of the series. Just try it:

Yeah, for pretty bad fillers. I do slow down if I find anything interesting. Also I have a keen eye for anything I have to go at normal speed to appreciate. It's a thing developed from watching all types of media for years...

Forget about double, I'll sometimes go 4x if it's that bad. Sometimes I just realize it's not worth spending time on a "planned" bad filler episode to hate the rest of the show...

I'm somewhat of a fast reader so normal speed is kinda slow for me so most animes, I'll watch at 1.25x. If an anime gets boring and I begin to see where the show's going, I'll go to 1.5x max.

Only for Terror in Resonance. Couldn't stand that show, but was curious just how dumb it would get so I finished it. That was like seven years ago, though. Now I absolutely wouldn't have the patience. If something's so terrible that I have to watch it on 2x speed just to get through it — dropped.

No. Never. I see no reason to do this, and I see no reason for others to do it. Whats the endgame? To get through more anime faster?
If the first thing you think of when watching anime is "how can I get through this process faster?" why are you even watching to begin with?

I once watched school days switching between 2x speed and 4x speed since i wanted to watch it just for the sake of watching it and I didn't regret doing so. The plot is just hentai without sex scenes which is pretty repetitive and I probably didn't miss much in general.

2x speed is too fast. Idk how anyone can watch that way. Every time i blink, i don't know what is happening.

The fastest i can go is 1.5x speed, although i rarely ever do that.

This reminds me of that MAL user who bragged about watching anime at 3x speed all the time, lol.
3×. You need too much brain power for that. I can do ÷3 but 3× is Outta my range in any possible way.

No. I'd rather drop it halfway than watching it at 2x. It's not a documentary or Udemy Course (even those I watch at 1.25x at max). Anime should be consumed the way it's made, i.e. at 23.976 fps / 24 fps and at 1x. No 60fps bullshit too.

No, I did 1.5 speed for some anime before, because they were seasonals I had fallen behind on and wanted to complete before the next season started.

I don't do it anymore though, it fucks with the sound and I rather watch anime how it's intended.

I heard a lot of Japanese people are doing this. Too busy at work to spend a lot of time watching anime, so they watch at 1.5 or 2 times speed. Or least use the skip 10 second function.

I don't do it a lot; I just do it when the anime is super slow, and I'm waiting for it to get to a certain point.


To put it simply, no. If I feel the need to speed up an anime or it's too slow etc., it's probably not the anime for me, and I stop watching. I watch anime because I enjoy it; if I don't, I drop it. :)
