Alone because I just think better alone, also I have different taste than a lot of my friends but there's still some anime we both like.

I do watch anime with my sister sometimes (I watched Psycho-Pass with her) but half the stuff she watches is Shounen battle series's which bore me.

I have no friends who watch anime .

I'd like to have one though so I can finally play Saya No Uta with them .

I chickened out on the second scene of the VN .

I hate Eldritch Abominations .

Being a hermit, there's little to no option of getting together with friends to watch, simply because they're so spread out and it becomes a chore. The only person I occasionally watch anime with is my boyfriend.

If I were to choose, I'd opt for watching with others simply because I know my tendencies of skipping portions of an episode or multiple episodes altogether once I'm bored. Having someone around will keep my lack of paying attention in check.

I have many friends to watch with but I don't like watch anime with them. First of all, sometimes I need to stop anime or read again subtitles. Besides, sometimes they say something which distrupt your watch. If anime is not for trolling and totally fun, I prefer solitude.

I watch anime alone, and I prefer it that way since it's quieter and I can focus more on what's happening.

but in reality I want to watch anime with @zergneedsfood

Alone ..

- none of my friends is interested in anime anyway ..
- if they are .. maybe we have different tastes , or one of us is falling behind in episodes ..
Don't go! It's a mighty long fall
When you thought love was the top
Oh no, It's a wake up call
When your life went into shock

It seems like gravity keeps pulling us back down
Don't go! It's a mighty long fall
When you know time is up

Alone for romance or SoL, or if I'm marathoning a battle shonen. For most other things I like to watch with friends.

I really like watching series alone(or with a girlfriend) but then rewatching them with other friends.

I prefer to watch alone, because I hate when other people make comments as I'm watching. I prefer to analyze my shows on my own terms, and for myself. Not to mention, I can get very snappy if someone likes a show and I hate it, or vice versa.

What people say is true for me, I feel that comedy and action anime are cool to watch with friends but drama or psy. anime are better alone because you need to concentrate, anything you need to concentrate is better alone.

I used to watch with my Imouto when I was kid but now She quit anime, I watch it alone.

I dont regret watching it alone because my family will criticize when I watch anime.

Since I watch anime alone, I can watch it with my own pacing and without distraction.

Watching alone is easier and more relaxing, but watching with a friend is more fun, provided you both are liking the anime. It depends, I guess.

With a friend. Or a group. Especially if it is shitty or a hentai. Hilarious. Sometimes we accidentally watch something good like Samurai Flamenco because it has a stupid title so we think it is going to be bad.

Best to fangirl with someone else. I have a fudanshi Husband though...might be lucky. So I can share all my fujoshit with him. He loves it. He often fanboys more than me. I feel not so insecure about liking horrible anime.

If it's the first time I'm watching an anime, I prefer to watch it alone. Otherwise, I have no problem watching it with friends.

In terms of actually being with them (whether it'd be in person or even on skype) I'd rather watch alone. Reason being that I don't have to wait for them, or have to wait until we meet up again and what not.

Unless I'm rewatching something, I'd rather watch it on my own. I don't like people talking when I'm trying to watch something it's annoying as hell.

Alone unless it's something everyone is interested in, which doesn't happen that often.

The easy solution is to get one into it... I converted my friends with terrible anime too. Like Inuyasha. They loved it.

It's funner with a friends, as you can exchange your thoughts. Mostly it doesn't happen, so there were few times I and friend both watched in Skype and each had respond

I like to watch anime with a friend or my sister, especially if it's a comedy. But too bad she's been too busy with Kpop and Korean Dramas so we haven't watched much anime together lately, but when we do, I enjoy it a lot unless one of us ends up disliking the anime (but that rarely happens because we have a very alike taste).

EDIT: But I couldn't imagine myself watching complex stuff with my friends or sister, I think those are better to be watched alone at your own pace

I prefer with a friend if it's action or SoL, but if I'm alone it doesn't bother me at all.
