| Just so you can add more to your anime list? Be honest I kinda rushed some cough gin couch tama |
 |
| Not really just so I can put it on my list, I usually rush through anime so I can watch another. For example right now I'm "watching" G Gundam, Gundam Wing, and Zeta Gundam. I'm "rushing" through Zeta Gundam in order to allot more time to the others, since watching them all at the same pace would take FOREVER. |

I watched the movie trilogy of gundam instead of the original series so that I could fasten my Gundam story point and reach Zeta Gundam. What I really wanted was to reach tthe infamous Char's Counterattack and F91, but I'm a completsit, I wanna have the background covered ^^ but it seems it will take a while cos Gundam ZZ isn't as engaging so it will take a while to finish those series, knowing I have so much more interesting 80's series waiting on my Hard Drive and DVD's |

| hell no, how is that even enjoying anime..thats just sad. i watch it for entertainment..lmfao |
 |
| I mean there are days that I watch like fifteen episodes over the summer. But I don't do it to fill my list, I just enjoy watching them or get tied in the plot. So I guess the answer is no... |
 Where there is no imagination there is no horror. || Arthur Conan Doyle || Happy Halloween! |
| I'm "rushing" Naruto, else I don't think I'd ever get through all of the episodes... It's mostly fast forwarding whenever they have recap/boring history of characters or flash bacsk to previous scenes. So yes, like 20% of the show. |
| The goal should not be to add more anime to your list, that totally defeats the purpose. The only time I ever rush is when I am near the end of a long series and it starts to suck. Then I will push through the last few episodes rather than dropping it. |
   |
| Not to add more, but simply because I enjoy watching series in larger chunks. If a series is more than 26 episodes, I'm likely to break it up into groups of 26 or so (unless seasons actually exist in which case I can just use those), but it's usually do I can enjoy the whole thing at once. Doesn't always work out though ;) |
| I kind of rushed through a One Piece marathon when I first started watching the series since there was a lot of episodes to watch before I would catch up. However, I was only skipping the first couple minutes, usually about 5, at the beginning of each episode because they always show what happened in the last episode. |
 |
| No, I don't. If I wanted to bloat out my list I'd add everything I've ever seen, not just things in my collection. Including all the random OVAs, shorts, specials, .5 episodes etc that I often don't bother putting on my list (though I have some). I also like to enjoy everything I watch, so I make sure to watch it all properly (and marathons are fine, as long as you're not skipping parts). |
| Well, it's been over a year and a half since I started Monster and I've only managed to watch 26 episodes. You tell me. |

It was already night when I started the Mad Pierrot hahaha ... brrrr, it's starting to get cold in here.. |

| Ya, I 'm in the habit of marathon viewing. Provided I'm free and have nth special to do irl, I rush some of the series cuz i'm so absorbed in the plot. Else for some of the show, I just wana finish them fast so that I can go on with other shows. |
We are the United. Even in defeat we stand united. |
| Yeah, I rush my anime viewing but not for the list, but the whole plot and events just got interesting. Also I like to get it done so I can watch my other anime. |
| No. I watch as many as I can when I'm free but I don't rush. |
| The community aspect does seem to affect me just a little bit. That hasn't stopped me from having a massive watched list though. If I'm tired of watching it, I stop watching it for the most part. My watching and on-hold list wouldn't be so massive if I forced myself to finish things very strongly all the time. I mean I do kind of have to push myself out the door to watch something from time to time, but I don't think I ever stress myself all that hard to watch something. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| No, I don't care about the size of my list. Most often I take forever to finish series. |

I've started Monster during vacation and couldn't stop watching. I took my laptop outside and watched episode after episode while still having fresh air for my brains to function properly. I'm sure if you start the series again you'll be the same. It get increasingly interesting further on in the series. As for me on the 'rushing' topic...I'm not sure what you exactly mean by rushing, but if it is like skipping parts, I don't do that unless it's a plain recap (some recaps I do find interesting to watch though). If it means watching in an oblivious state so you don't know what happened in the episode you just saw, then I could say that sometimes does happen. But when it does I often enough rewatch that episode, so I usually don't really miss a thing. |
| How do you rush through a series? Skip episodes? One thing I do with very long series that recycle scenes is to skip through that scene (because I usually don't watch onky one or two episodes a week), but that's just because it's boring to keep watching transformation scenes that take almost 3 minutes of my life. I also skip reminiscences about other episodes this way, so I just get to the new parts of the episode, usually because I still remember what they almost forgot. |

rebekah said: hell no, how is that even enjoying anime..thats just sad. i watch it for entertainment..lmfao True. True. I tend to forget a lot of details; rushing would only aggravate this tendency of mine and will not enhance my enjoyment. If I don't enjoy my anime, I tend to walk away. |

Yeah, when something isn't enjoyable and is not showing signs of betterment best thing to do is abandoning. Unless you read somewhere it did get better after all. A lot of thing aren't even on my list because I abandoned them very early on. |
| I move through a series quickly if I like it. Otherwise no. |
| Not really, i'm taking my time to finish some series.. |
 |
| I've gotten to the point where I rarely skip OP's or ED's, unless they really suck. And, I absolutely refuse to skip episodes. Hell, I won't even skip most recap episodes. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| I never fast forward or skip scenes. I usually watch the opening and almost never skip the ending, previews and "previously on", even recap episodes. And considering I have about 20 anime on my Watching List, I don't have time to marathon a completed series - except for on weekends, though I still don't watch more than 10 episodes. |

Neverender said: fuck man slow down, you're going to kill someoneWell, it's been over a year and a half since I started Monster and I've only managed to watch 26 episodes. You tell me. oh right, and no I only watch stuff fast if I get the urge to do so. Nowadays I'm finding most series aren't exciting enough to drag me in, so I'm slooowly getting through my collection. oh and yeah, i agree with the above. rushing for the sake of something other than MAXIMUM enjoyment is pretty silly. It's like considering anime to be a chore (wtflolwtf) |

| I kinda do rush it but without letting the quality of the anime suffer from it. I never skip endings and openings for instance unless I can't stand them. |
| ... Even if I took time to write alot of intelligent words of deep thought and meaning in my signature, would you really care to read and comment on it? ... |
| Only if i'm really behind on a series and I want to discuss it. |

| Shame on you |
| not rush! that's sad... anime is to be enjoyed... x.x |
   |
| Only if I've started a show, and really think it sucks and just want it to be over so I can move on to other anime. |
| 行けー幼子兵器！あれは木端微塵に粉砕しろ! |
| sometimes i feel like i should watch more but im happy to savour anime. unless its a series that im watching and not really liking. Then il rush through it. |
 |
rebekah said: hell no, how is that even enjoying anime..thats just sad. i watch it for entertainment..lmfao Well said. |
| [fancy signature here] |
| if it's an anime i don't like, i'm not going to even bother watching it. no point in rushing through something i don't even want to watch :3 |
 |
| No, i don't rush anime. I take breaks and do something else irl when i feel like it, even if im in the middle of a episode. I watch at whatever pace i'm comfortable with. Its entertainment, its supposed to be fun. |
 |
| No unless the anime is really boring which I usually stop and drop it. Then, I move one of the on-hold to my current watching list. I doubt that counts as rushing.. |
 |
| not really for my anime list.. I just want to know what will happen, what the story will be like. |
| When you say "rush" I'm going to assume that you mean the same as skimming over a book. The only anime I did that with (recently) was the 1st Naruto series. I started the first Naruto before Shippuuden, but stopped at episode 20-ish. I then started watching Shippuuden and I got up to like episode 90 and they started talking about stuff in the first season. I was like "whoa", so I had to go back and finish watching all 214 episodes of Naruto (skipping most of the fillers and boring talking episodes.) |
 |
| I do not rush any of the anime I watch. (If you mean rush by fastforwarding through episodes).I have a sister who does that shit when watching tv shows,it pisses me off because I have bought her a season or two of a tv show on dvd for her birthday or Christmas. If you are going to do that why not just read the plot synopsis on wikipedia or this site instead of wasting time downloading(this has the possible risk being sued) or money buying episodes or dvds or both money and time on recordable dvds and downloading? If I download or buy something then I am watching every minute of that movie or show. If I do not like it then I will not watch it. |

| I watch when I'm bored. I don't watch when I don't feel like it. I'm not rushing my anime viewing ANYMORE, but I used to before, when I was new in MAL, lol. |
| I miss read the question so yeah lol. Over the past summer i did watch a lot of anime and really quickly. But i never did it to add to my list and i was powering through them because i had nothing better to do. I am really upset at the fact that i went through so many series so fast. |
