Depends on the anime. If there is a large amount of fangirling involved, I will watch it with my fellow fangirling friend. Then we sob while eating ice-cream in the sad parts.

I usually try watch them with friends. It's easier for me to stay awake when I have someone watching with me.

Joint flaming commentary is fun.

If a friend is willing to watch it with me sure, but for certain genre's I'd prefer to watch it alone due things can feel a little awkward at times lol.

Alone, I don't want any distractions when I'm trying to focus.
Also if I watch it with friends I would have to watch it in dub, not that I have any problem with that but the majority of animes I prefer to watch in sub.

Watching anime is alone. to me, those serious animes relating to romance, like clannad, it invokes those required feelings for the anime. when youre solitary, you dont need to be sensitive to your surroundings and get a change in emotion.

but when youre watching animes like baka to test, humour, its better to get friends. the more the merrier for a good laugh!

Have no friends near me that like anime. Hell, 95% of them don't even know what it is.

Well most of the time I like to watch alone with my toughs but sometimes it would be funny to watch with someone

Alone, al though I do have friends who watch anime, but I have this habit on commenting on what's happening in the show, and for any one else that can be plain annoying. Also, I wouldn't be able to concentrate as we would only be paying attention to each other.

Me and my wife will watch some if we are interested in the same, but I use to be in an anime club in college and I can tell you it was pointless to TRY and watch it there..to much noise.

It depends on the anime.

If I'm watching something serious or deep or dark, I prefer to be alone so that I can get into the mood and/or think about the things that are happening.

If it's a funny anime, I'd like to have friends nearby to laugh along with me, but I can enjoy it just as much on my own.

If it's a bad anime, I need friends. It'd just be boring without snarky commentary. xD

Depends. I can't get into the "zone" if people are around me.

If it's something like One Piece or Naruto i'll watch it with a friend. A lot of people in my school like Anime.

Actually I would agree to that, mainstreams (for all ages) are all right but i wont dare watching anything with an ecchi tag with someone

Everything is better when you watch it with someone else, at least in my experience.

It's fun to watch it with friends because we can talk about the anime while we're watching it. Unless it's not romance or something like that.

Mostly action and good story anime.

You know what I'm trying to say over here.
Anything that is "suited" should be watched with a companion. Obvious shows that are not meant to be watched with someone else are obvious.
The forums are dark, and full of ego.

Alone. Watching it with someone else would definitely annoy me unless it is someone who has the same taste as me.

None of my friends, at least my close friends, watch anime. Granted, I'm 43, so not that surprising. So I pretty much watch them alone.

Though have gone to a couple of cons recently, but really haven't met anyone to call good friend yet. But have to admit, going into some of the anime watching rooms, with folks was fun, and enjoyed enjoying whatever anime was on with the crowd.

Alone, because when I don’t read the whole subtitle until the end, I feel way freer to rewind as many times as necessary. The same goes to those particular good scenes that I also rewind many times.

I have a few anime loving friends at school and I pretty much got my sister into anime ^_^ So I sometimes enjoy the anime more if I watch it with them, lets say something like Naruto or a comedy I'm pretty much comfortable watching that stuff :D

Alone, when I watch anime I tend to go on marathons and don't expect anyone else to sit through 20 episodes straight. And I don't really have the patience to stop watching if someone else wants to.

The first time is almost always alone. When I re-watch an anime, it's almost always with a friend.

If its an romance anime I watch it alone with exception of 'The World God Only Knows'. I watched that with my brother and cousin. I also saw some of the Dragon Ball/z series with some of my brothers and cousins and I watch Bleach on Toonami with my cousin and sometimes my brother.
