I used to watch anime at 2x or even 3x speed a while ago and I highly regret it. I retained nothing and essentially have to rewatch all the shows I sped up now. Don't be like me.
>>287082076>I used to watch anime at 2x or even 3x speedBut why would you do that?
I watch anime at 1x speed. I retained nothing and essentially have to rewatch all the shows now. Don't be like me.
At least you realized you were a stupid retard before it was too late. Anime is hobby to enjoy, if you have to watch at increased speed to enjoy it then you just don't enjoy the hobby. Getting through things just to put them on your MAL or Anilist is not the reason to watch stuff.
>>287082115So he could add them to his MAL to increase his epeen size.
>>287082076Why would you watch something if you're fast forwarding through it instead of enjoying it? Do something else.
>>287082164>So he could add them to his MAL to increase his epeen size.That sounds stupid
>>287082076I watched Texhnolyze at 0.5x speed and reteined every detail. But now I feel like I have to rewatch all the shows at that speed to really understand them.
>>287082076at this point just watch a plot summary and say you watched it.Your opinion and takeaway would be equally as worthless but you'd save time.
>>287082076Take notes and recite.
>>287082076Why the fuck did you do that in the first place? If something's that boring then drop it and watch something else retard
>>287082076I watched Aquarion Evol at 3x speed but to be fair it's Aquarion Evol...Zessica is sex and I watched her scenes at normal speed but the rest is just oof yikes forever ya know?
>>287083644it IS stupid
>>287083813Sorry about your retarded brain bro
>>287083813I take 40 minutes to watch a 24 minute episode because I spend a lot of time taking screenshots and recording webms to share
>>287083644Because it is, it's just watching numbers go up and not really indulging into the hobby itself. People that do such a thing should just play cookie clicker instead, it'll have the same effect.
>>287082076What the fuck you want to retainIt's not deep
Watching today's episodes at 2x synced up to my favorite reaction channel while arguing on discord about cross-franchise power scaling and solving the captcha for my next post about sucking anime toes
>>287082115A youtuber told him to and he did it like the absolute cattle he is.
>>287082076I'll speedwatch YT or some shit like that. Anime, movies, TV shows in general I watch at a normal speed. The only things I'll skip are OPs and EDs. I don't even know how to speed up playback on mpv.
>>287086565I can accept all of those things other than reaction channels
>>287086705Skipping OPs/EDs is forgivable only when watching 3+ episodes in one day, although really, if it's not an OP you want to hear 12 times a day then that's a strike against the show itself.
>>287086756I always watch the first episodes OP and ED and the last ones for any series I watch. The episodes in between I skip past them. The exceptions are shows that have bangers. It helps a lot to cut that three minutes out when I'm watching 8 different shows that day. Following 25+ shows a season means some days are kinda show heavy.
>>287082076Kochikame made a chapter about this over 20 years ago
>>287086661To this day I still haven't seen a single anime youtuber who wasn't a retarded faggot. It's kind of fascinating actually.
>>287087011I can tune out most of the thumbnails I see as a consequence of watching PVs, but what successfully pisses me off every single time is>[third most popular show of current season] is a hidden gem
>>287086705>>287086782Same.
>>287087011>>287087123I've never seen an anime youtuber before. Are they the "consume product then wait for next product" types or massive schizos?
>>287087604Same, I have never watched one either. Probably because I'm old and if I grew up with youtubers I wouldn't be surprised if I would have watched them also.
>>287084843shes an oofy doofy would 9 outta 10 times fr fr
>>287086710I find reaction channels a bit weird but I can live with that more than cross franchise power scalingI do understand the pull though, and sometimes I have a whole post typed up involving it before I suddenly realize what I am doing
>>287086845This is the same mangaka as high school family right? maybe I should give it a read
>>287082076I don't understand why people watch things on 2x speed, read book summaries instead of the full thing. etc. What is the purpose?To get the gist of the plot? It's retarded, because nor mvies, nor literature consist solely of plot.To seem more educated? I know that people like putting up a facade, but it's just as stupid as buying Phones with credit.Just to consoom for the sake of consooming? Why? What's the purpose of consooming?Do people also listlen music on 2x speed? I'm genuinely curious.
>>287087811so they can brag they watched said show
>>287087811dopamine inflation. they binge and binge and binge. so even good stories arent fun anymore. in the same way a junkie needs to increase dosage to feel anything we arrive at the 2xspeed.at this point you need to make a massive cut and step away from any entertainment for a few weeks. see how fun then an average show can be again.
>>287087854But I've known people who don't constantly consume media, yet they'd still do it in 2x speed or shortened in some other way.Perhaps, there are different kinds of speed consumers.
>>287087811they don't care about the shows, they just want to be able to talk about them so they don't feel left out
>>287087825>>287087854>>287087896Are you telling me that the IQ divide is real?
>>287087810It's not.
1.5x is the sweet spot
>>287086845it's pretty funny on later years, but there's almost no translation whatsoever
>>287087918Huh, I wonder where I ever got that idea from.
>>287082076Meh, the moment you have the file on your drive you're free to do whatever you want with it, speed up, skipping boring parts, slow down, rewatch a scene x times before continuing...
ive only ever watched at 1x speed and im approaching 10k unique episodes tracked but its like my memory is being overwritten, ill find a show that looks really cool and find that ive already completed it. makes rewatching my faves more fun I guess just forgetting plotlines.
One Piece is the only anime where watching at 2x actually makes sense
>>2870820761.35x is perfect for most, but I increase it to 1.75x for shonens.
>>287082076>retained nothingWhat does that mean, are you retarded? I 2x a lot but obviously I can keep up with it>but why would you do thatBecause the stuff I'm 2xing is so bad I wouldn't be watching it on 1x. I'm not 2xing the good stuff, this is just me scraping the bottom of the barrel and trying to make it entertaining. I've been watching anime for 26 years, all the good stuff I've already watched and rewatched multiple times
>>287087912Yes, low IQs can't keep up with 2x. They can't read that fast and sound becomes hard to understand
>>287089151Have you not tried doing other things? Other things can't be as bad as wasting time on something you already decided is not worth your time.
>>287082076I started watching one piece at 1.5x speed aside from the few key moments here and there at some point around dressarosa probably and it was the best decision of my life. I swear to god they tell the VA's to speak their lines just a tiny bit slower than they normally would in order to maximize stretching out the time it takes to cover anything in that anime
>>287089433Meh anime on 2x is still more fun than live action or youtube videos.It's also more fun than arguing on 4chan so you can't judge me, you're wasting your time too
>>287089254>readEOP self-own
>>287089484Have you heard of One Pace?It's the edited version of the anime to keep the pacing as close to the manga as possible.I used to watch that before ultimately dropping the serieshttps://onepace.net/
>>287087918>>287088052I figured out my confusion, I was thinking of the OTHER long running jump comedy, Isobe Isobee
>>287082076You'd have to put a gun to my head to make me admit to such retardation even on an anonymous forum. I hope you fucking die.
>>287089670Yes and it's retarded but so is the pacing of the anime.One Pace completely butchered one of the best if not the best episode in the entire anime (ep 1015) and that ep had completely normal pacingIf you watched one pace you genuinely have brain damage, just pull up a filler list and skip filler episodes like normal people
>>287090198You just skip most of the series because oda says it wasn't the real one piece and you can totally hop in at chapter 1000+ and still be a proper one piece fan.
>>287090198don't worry, I dropped the anime long before tat episode. I also dropped the manga, so if anything I think you are the one with brain damage if you keep consuming that series
>>287089513You couldn't even read the rest of the sentence, retardsis
>>287082076I heard that one before
>>287082076I MUST CONSOOOM AS MUCH CONTENT AS POSSIBLE FOR MY GOLDFISH ATTENTION SPAN AND DIGEST NOTHINGGenuinely what the fuck is wrong with you people
>>287082076>Don't be like me.I would have never been fucking stupid enough to do this in the first place. I'm fully capable of speed reading and retaining the information, but just because I can do that while reading an article doesn't mean I want to do it while reading a novel. Talk about immersion breaking.
>>287082076>Retained nothing This isn't a lecture or tutorial. Who cares?>Have to rewatch No you don't
>>287082076I watch anime while eating a meal and scrolling on my phone. It's how the medium is meant to be enjoyed. Why do you think Frieren is so popular?
>>287086073No different from social media fags trying to get likes. Only acceptable if you do it after finishing the episode.
>>287086705>>287086710>>287087728>reaction channel>video reacting to the OPs and EDs before anything else>then videos reacting to specific hyped fight scenes or other anituber clickbait bullshit>after they're thoroughly spoiled on a series then it's time to actually watch the episodesThis at least applies as far as I can tell to people who react to battle shonen almost exclusively.
>>287082076zoomers watch tiktok recaps of anime and manga instead of the actual thing
>>287082076Did you do it because you didn't have much free time? I seriously hope it wasn't for bragging rights. Can't you faggots just read manga instead?
