| Ever met an anime that felt like it drank an entire ocean of caffeine? Would you consider watching it at a slower speed, say 0.90x? Would that, in your opinion, be better than constantly pausing it? Because I'm this close to doing it with Kyousougiga. The visuals are frenetic and I love it. I don't want to miss a beat and having to read the subs is frankly detrimental. |

I guess you could try, but I think you should watch the show at the speed it's intended. As far as I can tell, you should either drop the show or continue with it. Why even bother asking the forum? Just watch it at .9 speed and make a decision on whether you want to continue doing so. |
| I have gotten used to pausing. I admire anime for its art and pausing helps me notice stuff more as well. As well as read subs when there's too much caffeine in the scene. Slowing down the video and audio just causes fancy audio artifacts to pop up (explainable in signal processing terms but I won't bother going into that). |

| The problem with slowing is it changes the intended pacing. For short anime like Kyousougiga I'd recommend rewatching. Like the first time you focus on pausing and reading everything, then the second time you can focus on the visuals. |
 |
| I guess I often find myself pausing or re-run the scene when watching fast dialogues or scenes. |
 |
| I either pause or re-run the scene which were too fast for my eyes or to admire the arts and visuals. |
  xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo So many anime, So little time! |
| idk, to me any tempo changes of the file just ruin the anime from how it was intented. If something looks wonky or off I can't be sure if it is, or if it just is because of the tempo change. I don't think I'd be able to enjoy the visuals if the happen at a different pace than intended. But I'm also a very fast reader so I barely ever had this problem. If it's really a great show you can just rewatch scenes or the whole thing after focusing on the dialogue the first time. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Why would you want to spent more time watching trash ? A true otaku watches anime speed up by 4x on two screens at the same time. |
| eh, but Kyousougiga wasn't even that fast... i mean, after watching Tatami Galaxy at 2x speed everything seems slow to me |
 |
| I never pause anime and I've watched some pretty fast ones: tatami galaxy, occultic 9, teekyuu. I just continue watching with my mouth half open. These anime aren't that hard to understand, if you read 80% of the subs you're good to go. The only exception would be sagrada reset, that anime is too fast, you have to watch it at a 0.5x speed to understand its glory. |

| No. I don't want to mess up anything that comes with not playing at original speed i.e. sound. I rather not try and ruin the intended pace. If I have to pause at 0.9 and rewind, I'd feel even shittier. I rewind commonly enough that I've gotten more used to it and it becomes less frustrating. |
 |
| Kyousou giga was so slow though, I fell asleep like 50 times. |
     |
| The only time I ever felt an anime went too fast for me was the first episode of Tatami Galaxy, lol. |

| Well I used watch Monogatari at slow speed at some moments because there are a lot of text flashing |
| Watching anime at a slower rate helps though, I definitely recommend it. |

| If you cant read the damn subs then just dont watch it lmao. |
 |
| constantly pausing could get annoying quickly, but im not familiar with that anime and how fast the subs are for that. occult;nine on the other hand purposefully starts off at like 1.3x speed or something so slowing that down could be actually useful if you are into the art |
 |
| The only anime I ever needed to pause a lot was Bakemonogateri, just to read all the extra stuff that came on the screen all the time. Slowing down to 0.9x speed wouldn't really solve anything. |
| I watched on crunchyroll so couldn't slow but Occultic nine was awful to watch at normal speed. |
| The Monogatari series is the only series I can ever really imagine you needing to do that due to how fast they talk and how many little jokes and what not they throw at you both in what they're saying and what they're showing on screen it can take a lot to catch everything (not that you can truly appreciate it unless you're like actually Japanese so you get all the deep cultural and language references I know I sure as hell didn't). Maybe Tatami Galaxy and Legend Of The Galactic Heroes both those if I recall moved pretty fast at times with how many words per minute they were cramming in (and once again ironically despite the fast talking speed it was stuff you actually had to pay attention to and think on). |
| I would never watch anime at anything but normal speed, there are a few anime that were difficult to keep up with at times though (Monogatari series, Tatami galaxy, Saiki Kusuo). I'll pause an anime if I missed something important but that's pretty rare. |
