| Oh no! Your days watched on MAL will be inaccurate! More seriously, no, I've never done that. I tend to like the talking parts in anime, and I also like to pay attention to details, something I feel may be difficult if I watched it sped up - not that doing so was ever an option I considered until now. It's not like I'm in a rush to finish each episode. |

| I cringe everytime i read that someone actually speed up their anime to waste less time or skip ''boring parts'' that could be important to enjoy the anime more. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| I sped up Inferno Cop and it got funnier. Otherwise, no. |
 |
| I don't watch series with 110% pacing or 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999% pacing of the story. I just watch it as it is, the normal way, no fast pacing shit, even if the series is boring. Or something like Naruto with tons of fucking flash backs, shit like that. Or Conan's series wherein, it follows the pattern every single time(as far as I can tell)... I mean dude, I don't wanna make mah lolis seen in the screen in their bathing suit and watch it in 200% pacing... I'm not that fast to fap. I take it slow... So... To answer your question, I don't watch series fast forwardly, I just watch it the way it is, though if I didn't like the OP/ED I'll skip it. Allen750 said: Gundam is a good series, but it's even better when I don't have to watch all the boring talking parts. Also, it helps save time. After 10 episodes, that 10% adds up. And after 50 episodes... you get the point. And no, I don't get the point if you ask me, I embrace the shitty things and good things in what I do, and if I watch series, those little things are what I embrace, and the series itself also... I guess you could say it as my form of "thanks" to the staff and the ppl who put their effects in making the series, doing stuff everyday, the artstyle and stuff like that, so yeah...

| Wouldn't it be easier to just not watch boring shows and instead watch something that doesn't make you feel like you're wasting your time? However, watching at 90% speed can be helpful when watching without subtitles and trying to learn Japanese. |
 |
| Maybe if you watch at faster speed you are time traveling. |
| Nah, I'm watching my anime at regular speed. |
| I never did it,lol. What's the point in watching it like that anyway? The talking parts are basically the plot of every single anime, so you are only going to watch the fights and skip all the dialogues? |
 |
| I only speed up anime if all three of the following conditions apply: a) I'm at least halfway through the series b) It's really bad and I see no possibility of it becoming better c) I still feel some strange obligation not to drop it Thus I rarely do it. Honestly, though, watching at a higher speed doesn't affect my perception of shows much at all. The only reason I don't do it for better shows is that it just feels wrong, like you're not getting the intended experience. Edit: And yeah, OP, I don't blame you one bit for doing this. Most people who are steadfastly against it probably haven't tried speeding up and noticing how negligible of a difference it really makes in their enjoyment. |
| I only do that when my weekly watches are filled with a variety of meh to good shows. So I fast forward the mehs in order to get to the goods. |
 |
| You do you OP. Not sure why you're getting bashed for saying you watch anime at an almost unnoticeable, but accountable increased speed. It's perfectly fine for most if not all anime (especially slice of lifes, they tend to be slow paced, and sometimes you really want to move on). |

Living is a velleity, because ice cream is life.  |
| The only time I've ever done this was to get through Bleach's fillers (watched at 2x speed and was still able to keep up relatively well). Other than that, I watch at normal speed, even if I don't like the show. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| You're not supposed to be watching Gundumb if you don't want to hear talking, guy, that's what the show's about: civil discourse. |
 |
| I don't know why some people freak out here. It's only 1.1x the speed. I'm pretty sure most of the things, if not everything, is easily comprehensible at that speed unless you're fucking retarded. |
A stupid thread deserves a stupid answer!  |
Ulquiorra said: I never did it,lol. What's the point in watching it like that anyway? The talking parts are basically the plot of every single anime, so you are only going to watch the fights and skip all the dialogues? I do it while watching Naruto, well did. Well I did it because of the GODDAMN FUCKING PACING. It was so slow, it just changed scene after scene. And btw I sped it up by 1.5% |
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. | You know what I hate the most? People who aren't free. They're no more than cattle. |
| loool I think I'm the first guy who used this method in 2009 or maybe old, now many ppl using it. I used it with the shitty anime, One Shit |
| I usually watch anime on 1.5/2x speed. There are times when I binge as fast as 2.5x |
 |
| 110% is not enough for me, I start with 135% the first time, then 170 -> 240 and lastly 300 (since I can just press 3x times + on VLC) I dunno if anyone realize, but there was couple of anime that slow normal conversation that I kinda feel slow with pause between lines, long establish short. (I think normally japanese speak very fast but have a lot of body language and empty phrase eto eto ano ne etc) 85% of anime I watched in my list was normal paced, it just lately (since mid late 2015) I pressing for more time to play video games instead so I need way to finish anime faster. So I have choice of either: 1. Watch anime while doing something else (not 100% on it, but focus on hearing) 2. Give full attention and watch it at faster pace (problem listed on my signature) 3. Skip couple boring scenes rapidly (you can read subs, but you will missed on audio) 4. Drop the series (waste the bandwidth / HD you used to download it) 5. Watch normally, skip OP/ED/ Extra at the end (even it might have important plot info) Sometimes I have to slow it down a bit depending series (current Tatami Galaxy is abit too fast) *When watching manga, I also tend to skim page by page very fast and only glance at the graphics **I admit I have hoarder/completionist mentality but that shouldnt hurt anyone else on the internet |
| Nah, i dont think sharing anime ratings in signature is cool thing. Here, stare at this pointless signature instead. |

| I usually watch at 1.25 if possible. 1.5 it gets hard to keep up with subs. |
 "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." -Friedrich Nietzsche |
| This lowkey tilts me. It never even crossed my mind to try and speed up an anime. |
| If I'm watching moe, I'll usually speed up 1.2x-1.5x on a binge. Their voices are so high it doesn't even make a difference. |
The person who said that the pen is mightier than the sword has clearly never heard of automatic weapons.  |
| yes like with all real life projects, i feel many cartoons use various padding methods to reach the desired 22 minutes per episode fuck that "intended experience" shit; it was more like "tanaka san, we need 3 more minute of stills to reach 22 mins... also slow down all voice actor by 0.05" |
 |
| nah I don't do that because I'm too lazy to fix it what I do instead is just skip ahead a little if whatever is happening feels really fucking stupid like when the main girl of Little Witch Academia in the latest episode kept talking out loud how she finally arrived at the school when she has already been there for a whole day now |

KuuhakuDesu said: Don't fall for the bait:Allen750 said: Gundam is a good series, but it's even better when I don't have to watch all the boring talking parts. Do you mean the parts where you get to know more about the plot, and helps you understand what is actually happening? Why understand the story anyways, huh? OP states outlandish/controversial position ("plot and dialogue don't matter") to get reactions from people --> OP uses backlash to that position to insult everyone in the thread, while positioning himself/herself superior to them ("lol butthurt anime purists") |

| I sat through 12 episodes of Bloodivores at normal speed because I'm a masochist and like torturing myself. |
| allo |
| I would never do that, I think it would mess up my rhythm for watching anime. I already can't watch some channels on youtube that I follow at anything less than 1.5x or 2x speed. Also why would you speed through dialogue... It is part of the story. Hajinnie said: Try 740+ episodes of one piece x.x Although at least the series isn't bad, but damn the pacing sure as hell is.I sat through 12 episodes of Bloodivores at normal speed because I'm a masochist and like torturing myself. |
| I occasionally watch 2x for boring slow paced stuff |
| I'll never speed up anime. If the anime is boring at some parts, it's boring at some parts. I want to watch the show how it was originally intended to be watched. |
| You know there's this thing called dropping a series, right? A show is made with an intention of people watching it that way. If it's boring, drop it or penalise it's score when you are rating it. |
| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
Allen750 said: or just plain ol' speeding up the game on the emulatorIt's similar to playing a video game on easy for some parts, and normal on other parts. You could literally have a 200 year lifespan and not finish all the games ever made, even if you played on easy. most of them have turbo button for a reason |
|
| who does this...lol must be a bit insane..lol unless its funny at that speed |
 |
| Ahhh brilliant. The speeding up threads are back... |
| yeah thats how people who don't enjoy anime watch anime. Congrats |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I only do it with Teekyu that way I can truly understand what is going on in that anime. |
 |
| Well I tend to watch some terrible garbage anime, and I just press the right arrow which skips 2 seconds repeatedly if I get to a boring or repetitive, generic part. If the whole anime is like that I just skip all the way haha. I only do this with airing anime which are garbage but I've already watched some episodes and don't want to drop. |
 |
| I only ever did that with Diabolik Lovers. Watched it at x2 because it was bad but I don't want to drop an anime if I managed to make it halfway through. Especially if said anime has episodes shorter than normal (it's 15 minutes at normal speed) Huh, I wonder if I would drop it or watch at higher speed if it was a long running anime. I wouldn't want to drop an anime if I watched 50 episodes or something. |
 |
| The directors spent so much time on the pacing, and people completely disregard it. |
