| You pretty much said all there is about it. Nothing I can think of to add. |
| I mean I get the benefits that other people find from it, but to me the idea is just weird since you are not experiencing how the anime is meant to be experienced. The animation pacing changes. The voice acting pacing changes. I mean pretty much everything is changed. |
| yeh ive been speeding anime since forever, and emulated games even longer than that hearing overreactions over even 1.1x is just lol bonus points for claiming speeding is the opposite of enjoying |

| Sorry but that pretty retarded.You are watching anime because you want some entertainment right?So why you are trying to save time? |
| Lol scrubs, get on my level. I watch entire seasons of anime in vine format. I completed the entirety of Naruto Shippuden up until episode 490 in 6 seconds. |

| 2017 is the year of elitist and faster watching speed threads. |
   |
| That's why every self respecting critical thinker, commiting deep real sophisticated analysis watches anime at 0.1 speed. You can absolutely scientifically analyse and measure frame by frame, pinpointing every little detail and abstract symbolism which leads to the building of the entire connecting plot and subplot, with all it's characters with their own emotional body and psychological meta-interspace. Did you know anime in 1974 had the most variation in pixel design integrity and shadow color quantization?? Of course you don't know that, anime after 1994 hardly had any production value when otakus started demanding more school harems and animators were more focused on drawing oppai than showing their inner genious thoughts in the art of direction and animation. Did you know most modern seyuus are drug abusers?? Of course not, you don't know that because you can't analyse the sound in such throughout degree. Trust me, I have been analysing anime for 50 years in my old military-built basement and I have amassed an enormous knowledge base of elite thoughts and visions that only elite personas like myself can imagine to acquire. You have no such imagination, you have no such knowledge to even witness what I have witnessed in my vast experience in watching anime in 0.1 speed. My whole life was built around analysing anime as the purest form of art that mankind has ever managed to create. Only the mightiest and strongest ones can endure the burden to know the truth. Preach it, peasants. |
 |
| I just let anime play while I sleep and hope I absorb it on a subconscious level. Gotta boost those stats right? |
 |
| I really don't understand why you would watch anime at a higher speed, you won't listen to a song at a higher speed, would you? It changes everything. |
 |
| Other ways to save time on your leisure activities. 1. Sprint through art galleries - don't waste time walking or stopping to appreciate the art, just run right through there. 2. Going to the cinema - slip a roll of notes into the projectionists pocket and they'll play the movie at double speed for you, thus ruining the experience for you and everyone else in the audience. 3. Skip foreplay during sex - who cares about setting the mood or taking it slow, just jackhammer that bitch and be outta there in two and a half minutes. |
|
| But when do you ever think, "Oh boy, I better speed up this song so I can finish it on time." Point is, they try to get more episodes in for less time. It's simple, if you think about it for a second. |
Ulquiorra said: The only benefit is that you are fooling yourself in thinking that you actually finished an anime when you didn't. I wanna reword your statement. Correct me if I'm wrong. "If you fully experience the anime the way it is portrayed in normal speed, that way, you can proudly say that you finished the anime. Outside it, you are fooling yourself." It's nothing if somebody didn't really get the story. And even if someone fully understood the anime, there's the hidden right and wrong preaching here. . The quote assumes that the speaker knows how the listener feels. It could be right if the anime watching is done for MAL completion list stuffing purposes only. |
| If I could say, If its skipping some scenes that consider unecessary, I think its understanable but watching whole episode speeding up, I dont think there is benefit of doing so. If they finding it boring and uninteresting, why dont just dropped it or just give up watching it. But its way more disgusting if they doing it only to get the count of anime list on MAL, like you know what I mean, completed 1k anime but almost 50% or more of it is from speeding up. Like really? |

| Notice how you have 2 benefits and 5 drawbacks? Yeah, you are just wasting your time watching anime, while you cannot enjoy it. |

crx07 said: Meau94 said: I believe your statement assumes that (1) there is a standard on how anime is meant to be experienced, (2) you know it, and (3) everybody should experience how anime is meant to be experienced. Correct me if I'm wrong.I mean I get the benefits that other people find from it, but to me the idea is just weird since you are not experiencing how the anime is meant to be experienced. I'll disagree on all assumptions. But because I don't want to argue on the first two assumptions, I will argue on the third assumption. Anybody can deviate from "proper" methods on anime experience. The unspoken drawback on deviating is that their enjoyment of that deviated experience will be different from their enjoyment on the intended experience. And the unspoken assumption is that having a deviating experience is wrong and experiencing anime as intended is right, and anything wrong should be stopped because they will understand the anime wrongly and thus, rate it wrongly. It leads to statements such as "Mind your own business." and "Don't dictate what I want to do." When anime viewers who speed up watching anime (not all) are not enjoying the pace, they give up the pace, just to cut to the chase. How can we convince them to watch at normal speed when they perceive that watching anime at normal speed hurts their enjoyment? Or maybe some of them just don't care about the pacing, etc. so they don't mind speeding up. It's fine to think it's weird. You don't need to relate to anime viewers who speed up watching anime. Speeding up anime is not more of a rational issue but more of an emotional issue, I believe. Well I'm not saying that people need to follow a law that they need to experience it in a certain way. I wouldn't say it's 'wrong' and they shouldn't be doing it. I personally feel I would rather follow the flow that it should be experienced the way as intended from the anime producers, but not to say that people shouldn't alter the experience to their own preference. I just don't understand it and would never be able to do that myself, but like you said, maybe some people aren't as bothered about pacing and such, and overall probably aren't bothered about all the small details as much as I am. It would indeed be more of an emotional issue if that's the case we are talking about. |
crx07 said: Eufie said: Skipping unnecessary scenes is impossible to do unless someone else who watched the show dictates what to skip or not or you have psychic powers that will help you see what to skip or you skip like 5 seconds which is tiresome to the hand. What if you accidentally skipped interesting scenes without noticing?If I could say, If its skipping some scenes that consider unecessary, I think its understanable but watching whole episode speeding up, I dont think there is benefit of doing so. If they finding it boring and uninteresting, why dont just dropped it or just give up watching it. Have you read my post? I admit that I was skipping some scenes from only this one anime Kuruko no Basuke, I was skipping some of the talks they do to their opponent in basketball court and in the middle of the match, the one where they show "Im way better than you so gtfo" (speaking it in a rude way) kind of thing and was paying attention more to the match itself. I know both is not a proper way to do while watching anime but I understand some people do have their reason on certain anime of why they skip some scenes which I consider like OK. But comparing to those who speed their anime only for the count of MAL list or other anime community website, this 2nd one is worse or the worst. My point here is comparing these 2 things actually, so my 2nd paragraph from my post which you delete for you to quote is also important :) |

| Benefit of watching anime at faster speed is solely for my enjoyment alone (unless you are offended by my siggy) As I mention in other thread: 1. It is because I have hoarder completionist mindset, I usually dont drop stuff I stockpiled. Even I drop it, I wont write it my list lul. 2. Saving time is the main reason. I will go as fast as I can humanly understand the story / read subtitle. 3. Enjoying the "moment". I can just say that human memory are not perfect, I no longer remember most of the details for anime that I have watched for last 15 years. Does watching normally will leave long lasting impact? Might be, but in the end you will forget most of it anyway. For people keep saying watching in high speed will give less enjoyment, I will say that I enjoyed much more specific anime by read synopsis / story explanation after finish watching it. I did this for Nausicaa, Mononoke, Yuri Kuma, Mawarum Penguindrum & Ergo Proxy which help me understand more about the anime lore / symbolism etc. I wont able to get that from watching series normally. Additionally, another fun things I love to do I to put VLC in normal speed in 2nd monitor and listen and understand the dialogue. Best with slice of life anime. *I dont understand why the hate against speed-watcher. It is just opposite side of people that dissect anime frame by frame. |
| Nah, i dont think sharing anime ratings in signature is cool thing. Here, stare at this pointless signature instead. |
| Lol now these even worth as discussion? meh |
 la critique de l'intention pure |
| One of the most enjoyable thing in anime is the audio part. Seiyuu, bgm, and simply sound effects. Speeding up destroy the audio. What's the point of destroying something enjoyable for the sake of watching more? Also, if you have 2 hours to watch anime, watching in accelerate or not you'll still watch for 2 hours, so the difference will be you'll enjoy less and you'll have bigger number on you MAL account. Wow, bigger numbers. So important. ImO if you feel like an anime can be accelerated, you should just drop it because that means you're not enjoying it anyway. so speeded up or not it's a waste of time for you to spend time for an entertainment that doesn't entertain you. |

| @crx07 No that is not what I was saying.My point is watching anime movie or playing games etc. is not a "waste of time." You are willingly use that time for doing those things.Also for your second paragraph (which is not about this topic but again I will talk about it too) if you find this Anime X boring then you should watch something else.I mean of course it is waste of time if you are not enjoying.As @Lord_Sithis stated we are not racing or something.Or at least most of us... @_Ako_ That is sad if you ask me.You want some fun right.Then you can do everything that gives you that enjoyment.There is no efficiency while doing it. rsc-pl said: If it's not a troll thread, then I lost my faith in humanity for good.

Some songs are better at higher speed, but its totally different with shows. I mean the only ones I can think of are One Piece and all generic moeblob(that would be just to boost stats since after youve seen one of these, the rest has nothing to offer) Some people have the no-drop rule so I guess that would help them. Why tho? |

| Not related to the speed discussion, but Saiki is not sped up, that's just how it is. The pacing is part of its charm. |
| Uh why do these threads keep popping up? Its stupid, just stop watching if your speed up parts. "Saves time" is not a good excuse, you already set aside time to watch anime so why make the experience less immersive for yourself? |

| to be honest i dont get why you would speed it up. Atleast for me watching anime is something i enjoy, and something i want to spend my time on. If i have nothing else to do i go and watch a few things, and have a good time depending on if it is a good anime. If you are speeding stuff up just to watch more and more in a short amount of time is that not defing the purpose of enjoyment? if you enjoy something you want to make it last. And watching a show on normal speed can feel to short from time to time. So what is the thought behind speeding it up ? That you can see more and more ? honestly i think you are ether additic to watching so you want more at a higher pace, or you need to see so much that you can find some pride in yourself by telling that you watched all that. Either way that is not what enjoyment is about. Honstely enligt me about this is dont get it at all, not from a scientific point of enjoyment view nor personal experience. |
 |
| In long running series (mainly shounen) that catch up to manga, each episode is made very slow on purpose to fill the time, so I believe anime should be sped up on these cases. Like in one piece, which has less amount of fillers but to compensate, each character speak at snails pace. So speeding it up is the 'right way' to watch it On other occasions it is just up to the viewer, though I would recommend not speeding it up unless you are watching it for the sake of completing it |
| *Creates a thread about speeding up anime and saving time*. Proceeds to waste the time he "saved" by creating a wall of text explaining something so pointless. A tad ironic eh? Don't watch anime you don't want to watch. You're wasting time and it's embarrassing. |
Fang said: *Creates a thread about speeding up anime and saving time*. Proceeds to waste the time he "saved" by creating a wall of text explaining something so pointless. A tad ironic eh? Don't watch anime you don't want to watch. You're wasting time and it's embarrassing. The person has used the time he saved to discuss a topic he is interested in. Who are you to claim it is a waste, or that it is pointless. Also do you have any basis to say he does not enjoy the anime he speed up? You are embarrassing yourself with such an immature comment (It doesnt matter which side of the argument you take. If you are convinced about something, make a proper argument to support it. I also dont like speeding anime up on most circumstances) |
| Either way you look at it, speeding up an anime doesn't have a single benefit. If there is some insignificant scene that is repeating itself quite often, if there are a lot of flashbacks, if there's a filler that is not directly connected to the story or recap episode you don't believe you need to watch, if you don't feel like watching opening or ending over and over again, just skip it as you won't really lose any track of the actual plot as you mentioned - and that goes for anime longer than 100+ episodes. Besides that, everything else is supposed to be watched and experienced at its own pace. I won't even go into discussing how wrong it is to do any skipping or fast pacing to a shorter anime as it basically loses all the charm and you simply can't pick up all the important details or grow to like a character, let alone understand it or try to put yourself in their position. Does it really matter if you watched 10 or 12-13 episodes in 240 minutes ? If you don't have enough time to finish them all today, leave them for tomorrow. Other thing you mentioned is impatience - people who truly like watching anime enjoy being patient for something important as those things are what anime is truly about, using their own imagination, trying to solve mysteries and problems on their own. I find myself pausing the anime sometimes or re-watching the scene, thinking about if i understood everything correctly or if i would do things differently. If you are, however, really that impatient, then google it and keep watching at normal pace. People who decide to watch an anime at a higher speed are those who care only about increasing their anime statistics, not overall experience and enjoyment. |
| Patiently waiting for the best day of my life, the day when i die. |
| For me, I have no reason to speed up a show. *Saving time?, there's still tomorrow, no?. I enjoyed when I can immerse to the shows I watched, so dialogue, atmosphere, and sounds are important things. Beside, surely I can watch 240 minutes anime in 200 minutes. And 40 minutes for extra episodes (extra enjoyment?). But I doubt the level of enjoyment watching that anime in 240 minutes long (normal speed) will be the same as watching it in 200 minutes (speed up), since the quality of that anime will be reduced as it got speed up. Even if the extra 40 minutes (speed up) being added to the 200 minutes experience (speed up), I doubt it will be as "enjoyable" as 240 minutes (in normal speed). "Number of completion" is not a determinant of "watching experience" enjoyment, while the quality can be a factor. Also, ignore the enjoyment level, if watching anime means enjoying myself, doesn't it mean watching 12 episodes in 240 minutes is just the same as watching 15 episodes in 240 minutes? So, whichever the case, where's extra enjoyment? I don't see where's that extra enjoyment comes from but from the amount of episode watched. Means people who do that might only care about his/her completion. If I want extra enjoyment then I just need to watch anime on another time. Or "wasting" more time in front of tv/pc. Simple as that. *Comfort from impatience?, I naturally loved slow pace shows. But yeah, sometimes, I also feel like I wanted to pass the show fast, but I think it's more because I was tired of watching and need some rest. I understand if some people can't enjoy such shows though. But speed it up? Does it really changed their opinion about the show? (means more enjoyable?) Or does it just make the show passed fast? From where I am standing, I can't understand why people watched anime faster if only "they didn't do it for the sake of completing the show". . . But well, people have their own preferences I believes. . . |

"People who don't see that anime has changed are either wearing "glasses" or watching only a certain type (and or era) of anime" "Having a low mean score doesn't necessarily mean one doesn't enjoy anime. Rating system is not a school grading system." "Elitist is people who think he is superior than others. Not necessarily ones who insulting/critisizing your favorite anime or people who enjoy a certain type of anime" "Fanboy is people who translating "your favorite anime is shit" into "you are shit".
