I only tried to watch anime once with a friend and man, it was annoying - mostly because my friend doesn't really like anime but wanted to try one lol

By myself, it's awkward when people are around.
I feel uneasy.
Especially if it's some romance/ecchi thingo.

Most of the time I watch anime alone since I don't really have anyone to watch it with, apart from some anime movies I watch with my sister the few times she's actually home.

Most people here watch anime alone cause it's awkward with other people who don't know what's going on, so would you watch anime with another anime fan?

I normally watch it by myself. But with movies like the Studio Ghibli ones i prefer to watch them and find they are more enjoyable watching with others.
Normally depends on the content and story of the anime which determines whether or not i watch with others.

Only by myself..
1. i don't have any siblings
2. my parents are divorced -> i'm only living with my mum -> she's always working anway
3. my friends aren't into animes.. and the ones that are only like different animes that i do.. when i was living abroad i sometimes watched animes with my friends there (well, in asia a lot of people like animes/mangas^^) but to say the truth i didn't enjoy it that much.. :| i sometimes wish i'd know someone who enjoys the kind of animes that i like .. but i have yet to meet that person :)

By myself. Watching series with friends is pretty weird, unless we're all watching by ourselvs and then discuss it. Everyone watches at different paces, like reading.

This. It's the reason I have a MAL account. So I can discuss my interests with others who share them.

Most of the time I watch anime by myself. I have no siblings and most of my friends aren't interested in anime anyways. There are times where I watch anime with my friends though.

As is the case with a lot of you, mostly by myself. Most of my friends who are into anime get rather chatty while watching things with people, which kind of ruins my ability to "get into" the show or film.

always alone....

depend on the content of the anime....if its something like Hellsing, Black Lagoon, Mononoke, Baccano, Durarara..etc
i have no problem watching with friends due to it acceptable content

there are time you need to watch alone...especially those exceptional anime
where you have to pause, take a few deep breath or just face palm
for it down right embarrassing moments, cliche romance, unspeakably embarrassing line/scripts

not just romance alone, action/shounen anime are generally guilty of making you face palm as well...
it is painful to watch this kind of anime with friends/family...kinda equivalent of watching porn

i usually watch it by myself, but watching it with others can be fun. especially if it's something silly like Ouran. me and my friend love watching that together, we've rewatched it together tons of times.

I only watch by myself, I think it would be a bit weird watching something like Clannad Afterstory (for example) as a group. I wouldn't mind watching some shows together with others though.

Used to watch it with friends back in the day but now I watch smaller series by myself.

Might watch the occasional anime movie or series with one of my friends tho.

No; I work alone. How am I meant to read text/glance at animation when someone is chattering away, or follow the story in English when someone else keeps trying to talk?

Going to the movies is, in our society, more of a social activity than anything, so it's understandable to not go alone to see the latest Hollywood offering, but there's no way I'd let others distract me when I'm watching something at home.

By myself because I get this awkward feeling if I watch it with someone else. Anime and Manga sort of grew on to me as a personal hobby so it's kinda hard to change (well at least for me). I also tend to skip around a lot of parts in epsiodes. I'm ready to rip my hair out if I get in the situation where I have to watch an ep start to finish with no skipping/fast forwarding.

There are some anime that i watch with my sister and some anime that i watch with my boyfriend.

My sister mostly likes school comedies and horror anime, she's a big fan of Berserk like me. Her favorite are Death Note, Claymore, Azumanga Daioh and School Rumble, now she's all worked up for Highschool of the Dead too. She likes Miyazaki's movies a lot too, her favorite being Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Except Berserk and Uzumaki, she has not read any other manga.

My boyfriend is more into action, he likes seinen and shounen. Mostly seinen though. He dislikes childish comedy, touching romantic moments and too much drama. His favorite anime are Death Note, D.Gray-Man, Baccano, Darker than Black, Black Lagoon, Claymore, Hajime no Ippo and Kara no Kyoukai to name a few. But his absolute favorite, the undisputed King of the Hill for him, is Hellsing Ultimate. He even made a tatoo of Alexander Anderson on his shoulderblade and he's looking to make another of Alucard on his arm, even though I'm telling him not to!

Hajime no Ippo should be his second favorite. He and a friend of his got into a trip with martial arts ever since they watched that anime. They got into watching UFC and Pride matches and they joined a martial arts school of kick boxing. They would not have done if they have not watched Hajime no Ippo before.

Rarely, my sister's boyfriend join us into anime watching. He's kinda still beginner and doesn't understand english very well, so it makes it kinda hard for him to watch all this anime with english subtitles. But when there's an anime he likes so much, he tries to find Greek subtitles for it. He's done that so far for Death Note, Soul Eater, Elfen Lied and School Rumble.

Some friends of my boyfriend have also been watching anime with him. Besides the one who watched Hajime no Ippo. He gets them to watch Death Note, Hellsing Ultimate and Claymore. All of them liked it. It's kinda strange how all of them absolutely love Teresa from Claymore.

So as you can see, I'm one of the lucky few, I got a lot of people to watch anime with. All of which, I was the one who got them into watching anime in the first place. XD
Signature? I ain't got no signature! I don't need no signature! I don't have to show you any stinkin' signature!

I have watched anime with others but I surely don't like to. It just fills odd, others tend to want to talk during the show and I don't like that. I prefer to watch anime on my own.

By myself.
There are times when I hit the fast forward button often in the case of really crappy anime scenes.
But, in the case of silly shoujo or comedy anime, it's actually kind of fun to watch with friends.
