| Mostly what I hate when with others is if subtitles are missed and as such it'd bother others to go back. |
 |
| I'll get back to you when I have others to watch things with :( |
| the subtitle thing never happened to me `-` depending on person-anime combination, and the context you're watching(irl vs skype, alcohol vs sober) it can make a difference.. with one friend we made lots of commentaries and in jokes of the anime we watched so that deffo changed the experience.. the cabbages in konosuba were suddenly the funniest shit ever similarly, i'm sure the madoka experience was different when marathoning it at another firend's house with his dad's wine than if i were home alone doing it one episode at a time and no wine |

| There's some stuff I prefer to watch alone like more instrospective anime, but I found that watching Re:Zero with friends made the otherwise torturous experince less sufferable. |
 |
| Alone. You will never convince me to watch my anime with others. |
 |
| Eh, I think it's fun to watch anime with friends who are just as into it as you are. But I feel like I can enjoy it loads more when I'm watching anime by myself. I feel like I don't have to keep up a conversation, and I don't have to worry about seeming dorky when I sing along to theme songs :P |

Holocaster said: Its because they must not care about the medium enough. Unless its a rewatch, I never understood a group watch on a subbed anime. It sounds like a recipe to miss content and shit.Kagami said: You will miss the anime if you partake in conversation though.

Absolutely, it would be frustrating watching a subbed anime with a group of people. Perhaps if you found the right kind of people it could be really enjoyable, but it's definitely something, at least for me, that's better enjoyed alone. |
| Sometimes I'll watch anime and one of my siblings come in and start watching it with me. I think sharing your favorite things with people close to you is always a fun thing, whether it be anime, music, tv shows, etc. Although they usually only stay for an episode or two and then leave. |
| I never watch anime with someone else if I did I may lose my focus than watching alone. |

| I've watched subbed anime with friends plenty of times and it has always been enjoyable, we are all used to subs so it wasn't like it was hard to pay attention or anything. I hate people that talk too much during movies or series though, or people that use their phones while trying to watch something together. I usually give those people one chance before I don't want to watch anything with them again. I think I prefer company when watching anime though, especially seasonal as it's nice to have someone to enjoy it with. |

| I prefer to watch alone all the time but if I want to watch with someone, it actually depends on: - the type of the anime - the relationship between u and that person u r watching with - sometimes age is important like if that person was younger than u and don't forget the most important thing is the - mood - |

| I used to think that watching anime with other people was fun but then I met some people who just wouldn't stop making noises or commenting on or snarking about or spoiling the shows. If I do watch anime with friends these days, it'll be with very close friends, and only a few of them at a time. Meanwhile, I find watching alone to be more immersive. Devoid of distracting commentary. Orwell420 said: I only watch anime with my friends in order to make fun of an anime, otherwise I always watch alone. Yeah, I've found that snarking is much easier than taking things seriously when watching with friends. And I actually like it when things get taken seriously. |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| I prefer watching anime alone since I could focus on the episode. Watching with others I pay less attention so I may not understand what's happening. Also I can't replay a scene with others watching. |
| I wouldn't watch anime with people who annoy me so for me it's not so much "it depends on the people" but rather "it depends on the show" and "it depends on my mood." Most of the time I watch by myself, it's quite simply the most convenient option - I can watch what I want, when I want, at my own pace, pause whenever I have to without bothering anyone else, that sort of thing. Every now and then I also enjoy inviting friends over for pizza and anime or watching via rabb.it while talking on Discord or Skype, particularly to re-watch my favorites with my friends (and having them show me their favorites) or try new shows together. There's not a huge difference in enjoyment to me, though it does make me happy when my friends end up liking shows I love and a bad show becomes a lot more tolerable when you can make fun of it with someone next to you. |

| It really depends on various things. - My mood - The anime - The person I watch with - If it is a rewatch I don't like watching anime with others when I don't know it already. Unforeseen awkward moments can lead to awkward moments in real life. I really hate it, when the person I watch with doesn't get the point or doesn't pay attention if it is an anime I really like. On the other hand, I like to show others my favorite anime, so that we can share the greatness. I would not watch anime with a bigger group, except for things like dragonball, where you can goof off and kamehameha with your friends. I enjoyed anime with my ex girlfriend, because she liked it almost as much as me. And if ecchi moments occured, we knew the right thing to do...^.^ |
 |
| I enjoy watching it alone. Would be embarrassing if they saw me watching Ecchi stuffs. XD |
.............. |
| I always watch anime alone, so there isn't any difference for me. |
 |
| Watching things with people makes me talk with them and don't concentrate in the anime so I prefer to watch it alone. Unless I'm rewatching |
 |
| To be honest, I prefer company when watching anime! I think it's way more fun when somebody is around you can be silly with, talk about the show, fangirl, etc. My friend (who introduced me to anime thx lol) and I have regular sleepovers where we basically bingewatch anime together and it literally is the best thing ever when the person you're watching anime together with shares the same level of craziness :D and what do we learn from this? Just get your friends into anime, it worked fine for my friend and I'm the one who ended up being totally addicted to it haha xD BUT, as you guys already pointed out, it really depends on who you're watching with and what show you're watching. I guess I wouldn't want to watch some overly complicated stuff with anyone either since it could ruin the whole experience and you might not pay full attention to what's happening. |
| What a weird question no offence. I can't see anyone who would prefer watching with a group rather than themselves. You would be distracted and miss the good parts and it'll be annoying in my opinion. It'll only be good as a group of its rewatching the show, then your'e having a discussion on the important parts of the episodes. |
| It's more fun watching anime with other people. Though most of the time I watch anime on my own and still enjoy it. |
| I'd like to watch it with other people, but I'm not friends with people who like it. It'd probably be funnier that way though. |
  |
| I find it easier to watch more episodes in one go with my boyfriend vs alone. We're going to watch HxH 2011 together soon. |
