But then if I watch anime with sound off I can't compare how faithful the sound of the anime with the sound from the manga!

Sometimes manga has better sound then anime.

Why would I do that? It's more dramatic with sound. The soundtrack is awesome too.

No? I don't see a reason why I'd want to watch anime with the sound off.

Not usually but I get it if you can't have your volume on at that moment

But it's much more enjoyable with the sound on

I watched some parts of Yuri on Ice with my sound turned off because those songs they skated to were too much for me. That narcissistic guy singing his own glory still pisses me off.

Actually responded earlier without thinking I did this yesterday watching episode 2 of Black Heaven because the audio and video were out of sync so yeah I do it on occasion.
Besides that no not really unless I'm watching dubs, then I just turn off the monitor.

I've done the opposite a few times, being on another tab with the audio in the background, and when I hear stuff going on I'll check back in. Mostly because it's hard af to just sit there and watch it alone

Main reason why I prefer watching anime over reading manga is because of the voice actors.

Imagine watching this scene without sound:

That's the worst idea ever.

You should only do this when you have watched the whole series and are editing it for an AMV.

Can someone please explain to me "why" you would watch anime with the sound off??? The whole purpose of video media in any type of video is to watch and listen to the show. There is a lot of things that are not in the subtitles, such as background music, sound effects, voices, etc. Even watching subbed anime should only be watched with the sound on too. It really makes no sense why you would watch anime without sound.

I have before, just because I didn't have headphones by me, I had to be quiet and I really wanted to finish the episode. But I prefer watching anime with the sound so you get the full effect.

Sometimes i just want to watch something and chill to the animation kinda like a lofi video but i usually go sound off with anime I've already watched before i would never do that on a first watch

Sound is a huge part of the anime viewing experience. Take that away and it’s pretty much just pointless. You’re better off just reading manga at that point.

How come you do that? I mean, personally, at that point I'd just read the source material instead.

We got the same problem, but instead of turning the sound completely off, I lower it down for like 7 - 50% of the volume.

No. Some of my favorite anime moments are made better by the sound. From the stellar OST in March Comes in Like a Lion's scene of Rei breaking down to Riko's fantastic voice acting in THAT scene of Made in Abyss that hurts me every time to Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken's great audio joke about having no sound files to the insert songs in A Place Further Than the Universe to just Aoi Koga's stellar performance as Kaguya in Kaguya-sama, I truly believe watching without the audio would make these shows worse

Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength.

????? That makes no sense. One of the reasons I watch anime....is the sound lol.
All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath.
