What speed do you watch seasonal anime at?I've been comfortable with watching most shows at 1.5x speed without missing out on dialogue and details, but I'd like to increase my speed at some point.Any tips on how to train up your watch speed?
>>282869505Fuck off.
kys
>>282869505Watch it at normal speed first, then you can go as fast as possible.

>these are the people saying you need to have watched 1000+ anime to post on /a/
>>282869505Conechads... we won...guh..
>>282869505The worst part is that this could be a genuine post.
I only speed watch filler episodes.
>>282869505Watch it at 1x or drop it faggot.You should watch anime because you want to, not because you want to fill some checklist or because you have FOMO.
>>282869543
>>282869505OP's life going to end at 1000x speed.

>>282869505>VLC_for_iOSthe cherry on top
>>282869505>without missing out on dialogue>reading in 2025I watch dubbed anime at x2 speed on my third monitor
Why the fuck is it so common for people to not watch or listen to media at the intended speeds these day? I swear, I see this everywhere on the internet. What happened?
>>282870349First time I'm hearing about this
>>282870349FOMO. You discover a new hobby. You hear veterans talking and want to be a part of the conversation, to understand the memes, to get angry at controversies. That is, you're here for the social aspect. But to properly engage with the social aspect you need to do boring chores like actually engage with the hobby, so you speedread, or watch at 2x speed, or rush the game with a guide on easy mode.
>>282870349>What happened?Vines, TikTok and the whole short videos trend that has people acting like cartoon clowns. Where were you the last 10 years? I've had kids scrolling "their" phones next to me in restaurants fucking vibrating and chanting the lyrics to songs that consist of 4 words repeated and i'm not exaggerating.
>>282869505Why do you waste your time on shit you clearly don't care about?Are you a retard?
>>282870537If you ever search for a popular song on YouTube, check the comments, there's always someone mentioning that they change the speed.>>282870552I imagine rushing probably ruins the enjoyment of the said hobby. There will always be somewhere to talk about it, especially if it was trendy. Though, I guess they don't see it that way.>>282870606I've not been keeping up with the youngsters, that's for sure.
>>282869505i'm dyslexic, so i watch anime in 0.75 speed with pausing
>>282871511>I imagine rushing probably ruins the enjoyment of the said hobby.It does. But all your friends are posting memes clowning on the Gojo vs Sukuna fight except you're still watching the first season of Demon Slayer and people on twitter are starting to talk about this Dandadan thing. If you don't hurry you're gonna miss out on all the fun.
>>282870349People got their brains fried by Tiktok and stuff like that, the content there is both at high speed and low duration so the brain barely has time to digest the info.
>>2828695051.0x, because killing time quickly is a stupid thing to do.
>>282869505i turn it down to 0.9 for dense dialogue, and up until i can handle the cringe of bad scenes.
Some anime have worse pacing than soap operas but you shouldn't watch those anyway.
>>282869505I can easily watch at 2x-4x speed depending on how slow the pacing isalso skip all OP and ED
>>282869505>I've been comfortable with watching most shows at 1.5x speed without missing out on dialogue and details,I'll only speed it up if I'm looking for a particular scene. I don't get payed to watch anime and I don't learn anything from it so if it's not worth watching at intended then it's probably not worth watching. If I just want to pretend to watch something I can read a recap of an episode and that'll take me 3 minutes or so at worst. speedwatching anime i though because I don't have that good of a handle on the ajpanese language and reading subs while taking in the scenes takes a little extra brainpower. I do like to speed up lecutures and talking heads television and video essays. People simply talk much slower than they think, especially when experts are choosing their words carefully they'll talk a bunch slower and depending on whether they're expressing ideas that are novel to me or no I'll want them to speed through their argumeht or subtopic.
>>282869505>speedIs this fucking animal for real? Kill all zoomers.
>>282870349PFFFI know, right?They can't just skip the parts they don't care about like the real OGs.To this day I haven't even read the last 3 volumes of any manga
>>282869505Watch more anime. When you know all the tropes it doesn't matter if you miss a bit of dialogue here or there. You'll still have a general idea what's going on and they'll probably repeat that part later on anyway
>>282869505>Seasonal animeGenerally, 0x speed.
>>282870349I don't do this for anime. Well, let's say I practically never do it. BeheNeko was so bad but I was already 9 episodes in so I just watched the last three at 1.2x speed. This is something I end up doing a lot when watching modern western shows. I don't know why but it always feels like people are talking so FUCKING SLOW in shows nowadays. 1.2x is also the sweet spot where the sound isn't distorted enough to notice.
>>282869505Bait thread but I watch at normal speed and just skip boring parts if its a mediocre anime.In general it almost feels like a cheat code, watching old battle harem anime and just skipping everything that's not fanservice or a fight is a guilty pleasure.
I skip 5 seconds at a time so I can finish them in about 1.5 minutes and cross them off my MAL list.
>>282869636Technically 750 anime for OP.
>>2828695050.99x speed so I get to enjoy the show for just a little longer.
>>282869779>loving effortpostEFFORT? GET THE FUCK OUT, YOU FILTHY ORDINARY
This generation is fucked.
OP is 1.5x faggot
>>282869505What's different from watching anime split into 5 youtube videos? I know those were considered normalfags then but you also had shitty rips with wrong translation. All the official streaming sites have that as an option. If the show is literal dogshit and has no direction or pacing anyway, what would you gain from normal speed besides wasting your time?>>282876168Fanservice compilations.
>>282876183I do this but for JAVs.
>>2828695051I watch it on a second screen while I watch videos though
>>282876924Fanservice compilations usually have a shitty resolution, the main site where they're put on is as fast as a tree, with barely any functioning download links, AND they don't have the cool battles. In a perfect world they would be the solution, but unless there's some mysterious man in an alley that sends good compilations to your computer for the price of your left ear, then we do not live in such a world.
>>282869505My secret is that I rarely watch anime and I come here to shitpost.I watch it at 1.0x speed whenever I do it.
>>282869505Personally I've been finding 1x speed has been ideal for me.
>>282876924>If the show is literal dogshit and has no direction or pacing anyway, what would you gain from normal speed besides wasting your time?Why are you trying to watch things you don't enjoy? It's even less a waste of time to not watch shit you don't enjoy.
>>282869524fpbp
bait thread but i know people who do this. i wouldn't even call them weebs, they just watch all media sped up, videos, porn, etc, including anime. they'll even purposefully join livestreams late so they can speed those up.t. zoomer
>>282869505If an anime isn't enjoyable to watch at 1x, why the fuck are you watching it?
I watched it on tiktok bruh fr i watched like all of aot that show is peak mikasa a baddie bruh
>>282869505At 0.80x
>pirate a bunch of anime>don't watch them>want to get rid of them but I went through the effort of pirating them>they've just been taking up space for ages>start watching them at 1.5 speed because I'm just reading subs anywayI don't claim to be a fan, it is what it is.
>>282870349Zoomers friend their brain with social media
>>282869505Honestly it's easier for me to have AI take an episode and make a 60 second recap. I don't even get that invested in anime anymore and am just curious about what happens.
>>282877791>purposefully join livestreams late so they can speed those upThis sounds like advanced autism.
When I rewatching old animes from early 2000 eraMostly I drop titles after first episode.
>>282869505honest answer: 1.25xI slow down to normal for good fight scenes or slapstick, and 1.5x for extra slow and boring content with little dialogueAnd 0.5x for Teekyu
>>282870349the reality is, some things can be watched at x2. long talks, podcasts, news. the only thing you need to watch at normal speed is entertainment
>>282881126>Mostly I drop titles after first episode.I only really do this if I'm watching more than one episode in a row
>>282870349>Cocoa over Sxarpfalse
>>282869505>NO TIME TO ENJOY THINGS, I MUST CONSOOM!Go fuck yourself. Also>filename
why does goku have a tail?
>>282869505>watching anime at anything else than normal speedI bet you also eat pineapple pizza, faggot
0.9x. I really like to savour every detail, study every frame of animation, linger on every pause. I have an IQ of 190, before you ask.
I just drop the anime if I'm not feeling like watching it normally, however this is the first season where I watched most of the first episodes while doing something else because there was almost NOTHING interesting happening.
>>282870349Tiktok and reels have ruined zoomzoom brains
>>282869505>VLC >iOSkill yourself.
>>282869505How do you niggas exist
>>282884254Learn to sage, retard
>>282869505Is it made by Netflix? x4 speedIs it a romcom? x2 speedIs it battle shounen? 1.5x speedNormal for everything else.
>>282869636I'm close to 1400 and I always watch at normal speed.
>>282869505Just read the details for every other episode on MAL, or watch recap videos on YouTube. That way you can get through animes fast
>>282869636I'm over 2000 and watched them all on normal speed, actually it should be way more since for example I have rewatched things like all Ranma and Dragon Ball, just to name a few.
>>282869505 I only speed through openings and endings.
>this evident bait thread is still upWhy?
People who watch everything or even a sizeable chunk of things sped up are subhuman retards.People who can't comprehend why a rational person might sometimes watch some specific things sped up are also retarded. I simply don't like dropping things, sunk costs do matter. If I get into a garbage series I will likely finish it and if it's really insufferable and without artistic merit I will do that at 1.5x. Doing that once in awhile doesn't make a person brain rotted or whatever pop psychology defect people want to assign to it, it's just standard completion autism.
>>282869505The real mindless stuff I didn't drop early, I'll probably watch at 1.33 speed, maybe skipping ahead too.
>>282870349The average human can keep up with 2x speed speech just fine so why not save a lot of time? The only reason it wasn't happening in the past is that we didn't have the technology to fix the voices getting fucked at higher speeds. It's not so good for visual content tho so I rarely watch anime sped up and when I do it's for really slow paced anime or anime that I'm over half way through and want to see how it ends
>>282887561Media is made a specific way and this includes its speed. In terms of anime (or movies), speeding the video up ruins the deliberate pacing and cinematography. Speeding up music ruins how it's meant to come across as well. Absorbing the content like you would information isn't the point of entertainment media. There are other things that go into them.
>>282887867A lot of anime has shit pacing to make it fit into twelve 20 minute episodes, just look at One Piece for a good example of horrible pacingI also said it's not that good for visual content like anime, I generally spam 1 and 5 second skips instead
>>282888035One Piece has the opposite problem from what you're describing where the pacing is too slow. Trying to cram things into 12 episodes often results in pacing that's too fast, in which case speeding it up would make it even worse. And I don't trust /a/'s opinion on pacing because I can't count the number of times I've seen people criticize an anime as too slow when I feel like it has light speed pacing specifically because of the episode thing you're talking about. A lot of anime would benefit from slowing the pacing down.
>>282869693Imagine that, a 20 minute episode cut down to 5 minutes.It is genuinely amazing
>>282888113>Trying to cram things into 12 episodesThat's only if the ending point they decide on is far enough in the story. Many anime often end up needing to fill up time to actually hit 12 episodes
>>282869505Just start watching at 2x speed.You have already practiced 1.5x, to improve, you have to push yourself.
>>282887561I suppose it depends on why you're watching it.I like iyashikei shows, they're really the only form of media I've found that can really force me to just take a break. Long moments of almost nothing happening is fairly pleasant, and also the entire point of the genre.I could see how the shows I find boring could benefit from being sped up, so I finally "get to the good part," generally I think if I find something boring that means I don't actually it. Speeding something up to make it palatable is just spicing up rotten meat, it's best not to eat it at all.
>>282876168>watching at 1.5x speed is worse than skipping 5s at a time when you're boredyou think you're better than them?
>>2828695051.00 speed most of the time and 0.25x if I want a screenshot that goes by fast.
>>282870349It's not. This thread is one more small attempt to normalize it. Your post is also shilling it, by using the extremely common "Why is <uncommon thing> so common now???" question format. All the replies to you are also shills.The reason for this is the need for constant exponential growth under capitalism. The market for shitty youtube / Netflix/ anime / whatever content has been saturated ten times over, so people like you can get jobs shilling 1.1x speed in the hopes that it makes people watch 1.1x more stuff.Note that I've used 1.1x speed as an example because even mentioning a higher speed will begin to normalize that speed in peoples' brains.
>>282890751>moralgrandstanding because he uses 1.1x instead of 1.5xabsolute hypocrite
ninbros...
learned from tgis thread there are people who just spam skip ahead. that's honestly more degenerate than watching at 2x, at least they experience the information, albeit at an unintended pace, while you people just lose information entirely.
>>282870349I got a bit depressed when I clicked onto an 8 minute video and at the end the guy asked if this "long form video" format was ok with the viewers.
>>282891456haha why would he ask that, what a weird question
>>282870349because>most youtubers/streamers speak way too fucking slowly>the pacing of most modern media is really fucking bad because its designed for literal retards. I cnat stand watching normal TV or movies anymore because it takes them 3 hours to tell 15 minutes worth of story.
>>282887867for music, particularly soundtracks, i won't take anyone's opinion on pace. maybe a track hits right at its recorded pace with the video, but without video i will decide how it sounds best.say if i use it as a bgm when playing vidya, i'll compress the dynamic range and adjust the beats to how fast my mind is going.adjusting the mind with sounds is a thing in psychotherapy.
>>2828695051.7x, regularly skip ahead to step over cringe dialogue, but >>282884546 seems correct (aside from normal speed)
>>2828695051x + picrelI'm watching between 20 and 50 episodes of naruto shippuden per day and I have missed nothing. I'll probably watch One Piece with this after. Objectively the correct way to watch these.
>>282870349Lots of information to absorb, not enough time
>>282869505This must be ragebait, right? The only time I watch anime faster than 1.0 is when I basically already decided to drop a show, but check whether something redeeming happens during the rest of the episode
>>282869668Zoomers all stream their slop, so not really.
>>282892485dont worry anon, jeets are learning to make a mockery of the principles of german engineering when they immigrate.it will have shit but smeared with percision.

>this thread is still active>retards are STILL bumping it
I used to do it with anime I didn't like just so I could still discuss them. Now i just don't bother watching them. If you like an anime, why would you speed it up?
>>282894258We're bumping it at 2x so that it dies faster and we can move on to the next thread.
>>282869524/thread
>watch it a normal speed reee!People watched Erased at normal speed and still think picrel is NTR.And also watched Frieren at normal speed and still think the demons are an allegory to immigrants.On this day, watching a normal speed is worse than a faster speed when media literacy is on hell.
>>282870349OverallBlame slop content on the internet and those people expecting viewers to take such content seriously.
>>282869636Let's say an anime is 12 to 24 episodes. Watching fucking one piece isn't a good idea anyway so we'll go with 12+24/2 = 18 episodes. Keep in mind you're not forced to watch anime you dislikes until the end. So 1000 anime is 18 000 episodes. If you watches 4 episodes a day which is not even equivalent to one arc of re:zero it will takes 4 500 days of watching which is 12 years.If you're watching anime for less than 10 years you shouldn't be on /a/ and keep in mind 4 episodes a day is a small amount of annie may. Basically, yeah you should have watched at least 1000 anime to be here. Now suck my cock, faggot.
>>282898378And what you got from watching all that anime?If you got nothing then you did not watch anything at allIf just for faps then there is the internetIf it was to "kill time" then you watch anime as background noise You are just a pretendous faggot
>>282898589>You are just a pretendous faggotYes. If you're not, you don't have a place here.
Too bad /a/ does not need a "pretentious faggot" verification to post here :)
>>282898378That's assuming you don't read manga. Which is a fair assumption for most of /a/ but some people actually like reading manga, which will take up some of that time. That's also assuming someone on /a/ doesn't enjoy doing anything else but watching anime that would also take up some of that time.
>>282869636you should
>>282898938My calculus only takes account for anime. For manga everyone read at their own pace, depends of the number of words too. Reading Gon ain't too hard.Anyway, let's add manga to those 1000 anime.
>>282900407Reading manga only makes sense when you learn Japanese.
>>282869505I pause my anime, hit the right arrow key to advance 5 seconds, and read it pause by pause like a manga. This gives the truest experience to the source material.

>>282886082Don't agree with the completion autism. No reason to waste your time on things you don't like. This mentality is why people keep watching "remakes" which are almost always censored and/or bastardized slop, and buying new game releases for old vidya series that are objectively worse.
