| I totally agree with you, I find it utterly stupid. If you can't watch an anime at 1.0x speed, then either postpone it, put it on hold, or just don't watch it. I don't consider it as "watching", in terms of progressing. When I check on One Piece episode forum pages, I see ppl proudly claiming that "it's watchable on 2x speed" and things like that because of the pacing. Shake my head. |
| Is this actually serious? Been watching anime for a while and that's news to me. Shit. |
iwansquall said: I would like to ask you how read normal manga then? Voice in your head every dialogue? Speed reading through once then read it again normally? (I can add in to ask if you consume the content legally or not but it is not my job to judge what other people do on internet) Well, pacing for manga is controlled by pannel size, composition, length of speech bubbles, amount of visual information in the pannels, etc. The equivalent to watching anime with increased speed for manga would be skimming through thumbnails or something like that. |
 |
| I tried it a few times when the episode was really slow but it's pretty stupid and ruins everything. I don't think that there are actual people that do that but you can never know |
| I never heard about people doing this before either. This is the first time. Well, if it's a damn KyoAni anime, that might just be a brilliant idea because of how freaking slow paced their shows are. I just feel like sleeping when attempting to watch their slice of life shows. I might actually try that. Watching for the sake of completion is dumb though. I find it hard to believe people actually do that for this reason. |
| Wow, 'am impressed so few people seem to watch anime at xlambda speed. I do it pretty often. Why ? Let's take an example : there's this super-popular anime which you find is shit from top to bottom. But some blue-haired gurl confessed (you know, a "normal" scene in a shitty show looks fabulous, obviously) and the whole community goes nuts about it. If you wanna follow the tremendous amount of memes, you gotta watch the show. But you don't wanna lose your time (and your brain). But you wanna know. So you watch the show at x2, x3 speed and see that yes, indeed, Rem is the best gurl and Subaru's one of the worst MC of the season. And you forget the existence of the elf or whatever she is 'cause you basically never see her. And you didn't lose thaaat amount of your brain. Conclusion : - 'am able to laugh at ReZero memes. - I didn't have to spend x hours on a plain shitty anime - I can have a conversation about it with average weeaboos - 'realised Rem best gurl (well, in my case I guessed ReZero would be as shitty and hyped as SAO, AgK,... so forced myself to start it. But above could be the situation of any other decent person) Oh, and I don't have the "completed" complex. If the show doesn't please me and isn't hyped I just drop it. I might look one last episode at x3 to be sure, but I agree it's pointless, watching a show at x3, if it's only to get more completed. |

| I do it all the time. It's to save time cuz not all of us have time to watch anime all day like some can. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| @MizushiDei if you had watched it on 1x, you would've been part of the Emilia master race |
 |
| Actually currently I'm watching animes with x1.2 or x1.3 coz I don't have that much free time because of work, proper sleep and going to the gym (I want to be healthy somehow) and maybe because of my girlfriend..shhhh..hahaha And also because I'm not that eager to watch a certain anime and I feel that watching would waste my time but I would like to give it a try because it has good reviews..Like the anime Rainbow, I don't want to watch it first because all the characters are boys and bald..definitely not my type but after watching it, I thank God for stumbling upon such a gem :) Also long ago I have watch Gurren Lagann DUB on x2 speed because I don't feel like it at first because of overly exaggerated fight scenes but then I saw a great character Simon then everything changes..I finished the show on x2 speed(except for the ending) and I can still very well follow the story maybe because I got used to hearing and watching things on x2 :) |
 |
| I have a feeling I wouldn't get along with anyone who does this. |
| so that the lolis sound younger try watching GochiUsa at double speed |
 "The sun is my enemy, but the moon has been good to me." |
| haha I can't belive the number of people who get triggered by those who watch anime at x2 I did that a few weeks ago cuz I was curious and I regret nothing , probably I'll keep doing this (x1.5) in particular cases c:! |
| When you reach a point you often feel like skipping over the bullshit, so I often use my 1.5x button for it. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Because the whole fucking point in cinematography is to create certain tones etc based upon pacing and other elements which are completely destroyed by altering these factors. |
 |
| If you're just going to speed it up I don't see the point in watching it in the first place. |
     |
| Nope... It's just uncomfortable.. Besides who would do such thing like watching... an anime with that kind of speed? And another thread.. just got repost... NEXT... |

| There are no benefits, it ruins the experience and I'll treat you as if you haven't seen the anime if you watched it all sped up because all you got was some twisted, shitty version of the actual anime where nothing from pacing to music to voice acting to animation looks as the director intended it to. Therefore any judgments you make about the show based on such a twisted experience are completely missing their target. I don't need to rely on one specific experience, I just use the minimal amount amount of brain cells necessary to apply common sense and it tells me all I need to know about this method. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| well it means faster time to finish an anime obviously but personally im not a fan of it although i tried it sometimes way in the past |

 |
| Why the hell is this even a thing? I mean what's the merit of any media watching experience if you're gonna speed the thing up to watch faster? I don't get it, for real. |
| No. Do you want to get it done with anime as quickly as possible? Is watching anime a chore? I speed up things I don't want to do in the first place so i have more time for things that I like. Watching anime happens to be one of the latter. |
| I dunno at 3.5x do you want to enjoy anime or just finish things fast and if so then what's the point of watching anime in the first place? |
| Eh i'd accept 1.5x speed at max, but 3.5x? Then what are you even watching in it? Rapid character movements which make no sense? Nah. |
| I would never speed up anime. I see it as an issue of quantity vs. quality. People rush through things so they can get more done in a day. Only to be completely exhausted in the end and never had a chance to actually enjoy what they were doing. |

| unless you wanted to have the 'Most Animes Watched Award' on MAL then it generally isn't worth speeding up and if the series is boring there's always the option to drop the series completely instead of wasting your time |
| |
| Now I automatically assume that OP has watched the majority of his Anime at 2.0x or faster speed. To be honest, you are wasting your time and should find another hobby. Your behavior is disgusting, but that's none of my business. Ohh, and since you mentioned the other guy that created the 3.5x speed thread... that guy went from 220 days' worth of Watched Anime to 240+ days in about 1 hour, so I guess that you feel inspired by him? |
  |
| So so dumb. Why do that? And yeah, more to watching anime than reading the subtitles. |
The anime community in a nutshell.  |
| what if you watch tatami galaxy speed up wonder how that would work... |
| Hottest Take Ever, fite me: Fairy Tail is better than Seiya, Bungou Stray and Hitman Reborn |
| You won't be able to pay attention to the plot as much as you would at normal speed. There's no point of watching if you're not going to understand what's going on. |
 |
Shoegum said: No, it makes them stupid. And if there are people who actually do that then I think the concept of "list padding" might actually be true. Speeding up your anime makes you casual. Real anime enthusiasts slow down their anime so they waste even more of their lives watching anime. |
 |
| Totally fine with fast forwarding a show I don't care for anymore but is too close to the end to drop (ok I admit, just shows that look boring to me in general). These are shows Id be so bored by I'd absorb as much on fast forward as I would watching every single frame. |
 |
| Because you're not actually watching the episode. You're not watching it the intended way. How is this such a hard concept to grasp? Honestly the whole speeding up your anime sounds like the most autistic thing I've ever heard in my life. |
 |
| Why would you want to watch something with everyone talking at 500 miles an hour? I've never understood why people watch anime sped up. |

ClavisM said: Why would you want to watch something with everyone talking at 500 miles an hour? I've never understood why people watch anime sped up. So you can finish more anime than all the other losers here and claim "My dick is bigger than yours" |
| I'd never do that. Nor would I skip any parts no matter what, in case I miss out on anything. Sure, if you wanna do that, then go ahead. As long as I'm not watching it with you. |
 |
| also it makes it harder to recc anime in the future because i'd wager its pretty hard to actually ejoy and follow the show and even dialogue sped up so the best you could ever give something is like a 6 or maybe 7 if someone rated an anime they sped up an 8 or above they have to be crazy because there's no way to keep up with anything (without some mental disorder that helps with concentration or something) |
