| If there's a specific scene/episode I find boring, then yes I will speed it up |
| 4x!? Damn. If I hate an episode or a scene that much I'll probably drop it. Also, Speeding stuff up isn't really fair since if things got better (Like a good piece of dialogue or music) You wouldn't really notice, So I don't really know what the point of watching it other than saying to someone that you watched it. |
| I don't speak English that much, so please cut me some slack |
| Lmao 4x. Might as well just read the wiki pages when it finishes airing and add it to your completed. The only two anime I've watched not on 1x would be: Monster (1.25x, I'm positive it greatly improved my enjoyment of the show, Monster is slower than most shows out there and I get that the slowness of it all probably fits the vibe but I personally found myself much less bored at 1.25x. At 1.25x the dialogue and pacing of Monster is still equal to if not less than regular anime at 1x.) Tatami Galaxu (0.75x holy shit? 5 minutes in the show and they've already said more words than I do in a day. Had to pause that shit and go all the way back, set speed at 0.75x and then glued my eyes to the subs) I can still understand people watching at 1.5x-2x (I really wouldn't) because I guess you can still understand what's happening in the show if only barely but anymore than 2x is just one being stubborn and hence wasting time because of it. You do you though. If you feel like you can process everything that's happening for what it actually is at 4x then great. |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| I've watched the last three episodes of God of Highschool in 2x speed. I'm telling you, it transformed into a comedy. Much more enjoyable imo. Other than that, I don't change the speed. I usually want to watch anime as it was intended. |

| lol 4x can u even read the subs at that speed i tried to watch fate/stay night at 1.5x because it was a little boring but i coudnt even read the subs so i watched it at normal speed other than always watch anime in normal speed |
| I feel that it would totally ruin the music/dialogue therefore ruining the emotional impact of the show. So yeah, it's a no for me. |
   |
| Tried higher speed once. I didn't like it. I'd rather have a podcast playing in the background. |

| No, just skipping the summary or the Op and Ed. This reminds me of Attack on Titan lol, really slow and has a huge time of summary. |
| What the fuck? Why the hell do people speed up anime? Doesn't it sound weird? How- why- wtf. Don't watch anime if you speed it up, no matter how shitty it is, you can skip 5 seconds of some scene, but speeding up? Fuck that bullshit. Don't say you watch anime when you are speeding your shit. |
 I said keep your hands on the table |

Also, Speeding stuff up isn't really fair since if things got better (Like a good piece of dialogue or music) You wouldn't really notice, So I don't really know what the point of watching it other than saying to someone that you watched it. I tried to watch some 4x speed clips and I feel like my brain will pop, I can either not focus on anything and just let things pass or try to get what's happening and fail miserably, Maybe you're faster than me in following what's going on, But I still don't really get the reasoning behind it. To me it's just, Drop it or watch the way the creator wants you to watch it. |
| I don't speak English that much, so please cut me some slack |
| No, but I was thinking about slowing down Tatami Galaxy when I first watched it. |
 |
| 4x speed huh... I'm getting a bad case of deja vu But no I don't. If an anime is boring to me I'll just drop it. |
 |
kaizzzzz said: I know anime needs to be enjoyed, but have you tried increasing the speed on a episode(s) that you didn't like or you find boring? Well i do watch Kanojo, Okarishimasu in 4x speed because i don't find the anime interesting at all, but i still wanna watch it rather than drop it. Edit : I still watch anime on normal speed, im just speeding it up when im getting bored on the episode. Damn, reading subs at 4x which I still can't master, teach me sensei. |
| People who hate me are scums But people who I hate are worse than scums. |
| yes but just smaller speeds.... and to anime that feels slow, not necesarily boring/dont like 3-4x only when doing a quick recap/rewatch after a break from an anime or smth like that, never first watch |

| Yes. Since I try to finish all seasonal anime and anime and if they are boring I might as well watch them at 1.5x or 2x speed. Since I can read pretty fast I can still keep up with the subs. |

| Nah that's a fuckload of shit in my opinion. I've said this twice here and I will say it again. The moment that the product you are watching has to be altered, or that you have to be altered, then there may just be a problem with the original work itself. Not that I have a problem with anyone else doing it. I just never would. I honestly tried to speed up Sonic X because of how much the episodes would drone on and on, but I couldn't take it. It's an awful show and if I have to speed it to 6x to even get the slightest bit of enjoyment, there's something wrong. |

| Not this s*** again. No that's pointless, anything that would require that is better off just dropped. |

| The only reason I got through Mobile Suit Gundam (1979) and Blood+ is by watching them at 2x. There's absolutely no way I would made it through either of those without dropping them if I hadn't cut down the time I was spending watching them. You probably think its dumb to keep watching a show if you know you don't like it and you would absolutely be right but I don't like dropping things I've started if I can help it and speeding the anime up is the only solution that works if you wanna get through something quickly. As for whether or not playing the anime faster than it was intended is bad, I personally don't think it is. It's not really equivalent to skipping an episode or two (which I'm also guilty of) because as long as the person watching it can keep up with it, I see no reason why its markedly different from watching it at normal speed. The only things it will majorly affect are the soundtrack ( which personally I never pay attention to most of the time) and the audio ( I watch subs, so I'm usually not even paying attention to the voices). |
| There was one time I did accidentally because it's what the site I was watching it on uploaded. It ruined the episode and I watched the rest of the show somewhere else. Other than that, probably not. For one thing, the sites and streaming services I watch anime on don't have that feature. Second, if I dislike a show, I'd rather use it as background noise or put it on hold indefinitely than try and do the speed run. |
 |
| If I ever want to imagine the characters in the show I'm watching as Alvin and the Chipmunks I'll put it at 2x speed, if not I'll just say fuck that show, I'll watch something that's not boring. |
| didnt know ppl actually sped up animes, thts pretty dumb as fuck ngl |
| I watch heroaca at 3x and I still understand everything.the whole second season feels like filler IMO. I do the same as OP with kanojo, watching it at 1x is cringe in slow motion, I really prefer watching it at 2x, it makes it much more bearable. Some series are really good but still have slow starts/ pacing problemes. sometimes speeding up makes the experience much better, but that is obviously personal preference. Sometimes just changing the speed to 1.25 or 1.3 makes big diference. 3x and 4x are absurd though and would not recommend at all except some very specific cases. |

| Nope, never tried watching anime sped up, Never will. |
| That would not be enjoyable for me and reading subs at those speeds with dyslexia would cause me to pause all the time. |

kaizzzzz said: I wouldn't worry about it. Dude seems to be fired up all the time for some reason. Speed watching is probably more common than most people realize. 4x is overkill, though. I wouldn't consider it watching at that point.Arin-san said: C'mon man you're overreacting..... I know it's weird speeding up anime and not getting the enjoyment out of it, but in my case there are some scenes that i don't like that's why im speeding it up and i still enjoy it . What's the point of skipping 5 seconds if you can just watch it by increasing the speed? It's not like i watch all my anime in 4x speed.... What the fuck? Why the hell do people speed up anime? Doesn't it sound weird? How- why- wtf. Don't watch anime if you speed it up, no matter how shitty it is, you can skip 5 seconds of some scene, but speeding up? Fuck that bullshit. Don't say you watch anime when you are speeding your shit. |

| I sometimes do it, but I really prefer to play or see another video while I watch the episode. |
| Dang I never thought of doing this. Sure it might ruin the effect for anime that were painstakingly crafted with love and care (ex. demon slayer) but if it's an anime with panning freeze frames of dialogue and what not for the majority of the run time, perhaps speeding it up a bit might do the trick. Again tho, emotional moments might get ruined where lengthy pauses were intended. Still something to keep in mind though, may try it out when I find a suitable anime |

| Watching at 3x/4x speed is like turning any anime into a parody show, why would I wanna do that? It's a bad habit that kills the enjoyment imo |
 |
| No I always watch at normal speed. Tried speeding up an ep of Hidamari Sketch to try it out and I couldn't absorb anything that was happening (why I didn't speed up an anime I actually didn't like instead of one I did like still baffles me). |
  |
| Here we go again... No, personally, I wouldn't consider being in front of the screen as the anime flashes past my eyes as watching it. I also like to see my stats go up, but it's still just sad that some people prioritize that over the medium itself (people here talking about"getting through" anime instead of watching it). No need to rush to get big numbers, guys, you'll get there eventually. |
