| >implying MAL users have friends There I made the joke But just curious, do you prefer watching with a friend (or friends if you somehow have more than one friend who enjoys anime) or by yourself? Does it vary with genre or the specific show? Do you watch multiple series with someone at a time? Do you prefer watching anime movies with friends instead? |

| Depends on the show, it's easier to sit through trash with friends than on your own. |

| I watched battle shonens with friends and niche shows alone. |
| watch no anime with friends and all anime alone |

| Alone, because I hate any human presence while I'm watching anime. |

| I mostly watch anime alone, since I can focus more on the show. Though, I/I'd like watching comedy shows with my friends... |
 |
| Good mood: With friends, watching together. Bad mood: Alone, watching some anime. Great mood: Alone, binge watch all day long. |

| Depending on the genres , why would i watch a lewd ecchi scenes with my friends it's kinda awkward. But still, i prefer watch them alone so i can focus on the story |
 |
| Alone, it would be hard to focus on watching with friends. |
 |
| I always watch anime by myself. I only have a few friends and only 2 of them are into anime. And by that i mean they only watch DBZ, DBS, and the occasional shonen. |
| Friends? What friends? HAHAHAHAHA |
 |
| Idk both has its upsides, yes, yes and yes. Those are my answers to your questions. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I mean I don't have friends to begin with, even if wanted to watch with them. But I watch it alone. |

| Usually I only watch anime alone, but when I have the chance I could rewatch some animes I've watched with my friends. I Prefer watching more "touching" animes alone though. Can't really enjoy them as much with other people. |
| never watched with anyone else, so... |
 I only watch anime by myself I usually cant stand it to watch any kind of show while someone else is even in the same room |

Mostly when I watch with friends I'm talking about MAL friends and we just have this chat window open (in skype or discord or telegram) while we both watch the episode. Much more chill than watching together with someone on rl, I also find that awkward. |

| Watching with a friend can make bad and boring series bearable,but I prefer to watch the good stuff alone,except for rewatches. Always up to torture my friends through a marathon xD |

| I have always found it unhealthy to watch anime with "friends" already one of the stereotypes: band of friends no lifes prepuperbs touching on the loli this is really disgusting people who make groups to watch anime. And two if it's to have a nozzle that say what you want to hear or just the opposite a big son of a bitch that exists just criticizing no thank you. |

| I 99% of the time watch alone, but I like watching with friends because experiencing and sharing something I love with others is great, only problem is that I can count the number of my friends that watch anime on one hand. Even tho' I like watching with friends, I hate when they don't pay attention (usually by checking their damn instagram/FB/Snapchat or whatever on their phone) and then ask me to tell them what they missed. |
| I used to watch anime with my friend before and I found it nice to see his reactions usually. But recently, I prefer watching anime alone because he's now mostly asking goddamn questions instead of watching silently. |

| I usually watch anime alone since everyone has varying schedules of free time versus school, clubs, work, and classes. But sometimes if we feel nostalgic, we'll watch an old series/movies together or share something from our childhood shows. Better yet sometimes during semester breaks we'll pick an anime from the last season none of us has seen at random and binge the whole thing no matter how good/bad. I think it makes it more enjoyable. |
 |
| Both are interesting to do. But alone is good ecchi time. |
| I usually watch anime with my gf Wait, I don't have one lol |
| . |
| It largely depends on what I'm watching. If it's a show which doesn't require that much investment, like a shounen or comedy, then watching it with friends could elevate the experience somewhat. If it's a more surreal kind of anime like Mushishi or Shinsekai Yori, then it's better to watch with no distractions. |
| If I'm watching anime movies, then I'd watch with a friend If watching anime series, screw friends I'm watching by myself |
 |
| It's easier to watch a movie or an OVA series with friends since you can watch them in one sitting and talk about it afterwards. Watching TV series can span several days depending on the length of the anime, and if you plan to watch it with a friend, you won't be able to progress as quickly if their schedule doesn't match your own. As for the type of anime? Lively anime are more likely to be enjoyed with friends than anime that are more mellow and steady. So Action, Sports, and Comedy would be the types of genres that friends can enjoy more, while Slice of Life anime might be better for watching alone since there might not be much to discuss. Romance/Drama are a mixed bag. The experience of watching Romance/Drama anime with a friend can be better or worse if your friend is your significant other. |
 |
| None of my friends (who watch anime) would enjoy the anime that I watch. They would call me a moecon and a lolicon if they were to watch the anime that I watch. |
  |
| I watch with you At night. Wooo, you have an IRL friend your welcome. |
| I pretty much only watch anime with friends now. To be fair, it's through rabbit, it's not like I have friends I can physically hang out with. |
 |
| I like to watch anime alone because watching it with friends is so uncomfortable for me and it feels weird. |
| watching with friends is great when there's a conversation going throughout all the episodes. it gets awkward when your 3/4 and the only thing you say is a countdown to start the episode. |
| I watch with friends really funny shows that usually ppl like like hataraku maou sama and seitokai yakuidono |
| I have two friends irl who also watch anime but they're more casual about it so stuff like One Punch Man or Boku no Hero Academia is fine for them and fun to watch together. However, anything other than that and they would probably just cringe at my shit taste lol. So yeah, I guess I prefer to watch anime alone but some anime can be more fun to watch with friends. |
