Do you prefer watching anime by yourself or with people you know?  email this discussion to a friend?

The thread title says it all. Do you prefer watching your anime in silence and peace, by yourself or do you prefer watching it people with you know? For me it depends on what show it is and who is available to watch anime with. There isn't very many people I know that live near me that like anime, so I usually watch it by myself. My brother, of course, excluded because he doesn't like the same genre of anime I do, unless its on TV, and not some fansub I just happened to stream online. I like watching anime by myself when I'm on the internet streaming because there is no one around to comment on certain scenes that happen in it and distract me from the series. The only exception I'd make is that if I had already seen the series myself and am just trying to introduce it to a friend who just happens to have a laptop and wants to watch some anime. (I introduced one of my friends to Ouran this way.) How about you?

I don't really care if I watch anime by myself or with others. But anime is usually on at night if your're going to watch it on tv, but if you're gonna watch it on computer than it doesn't matter.

Yep anime is usually on at night if you don't have the Anime Network channel. . .I wish my cable company offered it lol. And yeah, I like watching it online because its
more convenient.

I love watching anime in general bit it really depends on the anime. Shows like naruto or bleach i sometimes watch wit my friends but anime with alot of fan service *cough*cough to-love-ru*cough i prefer to watch alone for obvious reasons.

Haha its the same for me as well. Anime with fanservice (or more explicit things *cough*) I download onto my video ipod for obvious reasons and watch it on there. (:

I prefer watching it alone.. lol In that way, I can laugh as loudly as I can or cry as much as I wish!

Most of my friends do not watch too. They find it too childish. doh
As for those who do, we only discuss about it, never watch together before.

I usually watch anime alone at night on my laptop. happy


myLot reputation of 84/100. YamiKiba (699)   ranked 12 out of 940 in anime  4 years ago

Hehe. Yeah. .I watch most sad or funny anime on my iPod as well. If its an anime that will evoke my emotions to the extreme. I like to watch them under the covers on my bed before I go to sleep. :)

It usually doesn't matter to me who I watch it with. Although my family often mentions that they think I'm a weirdo because I like to laugh out loud and make comments when I watch anime by myself. They think it's strange behavior on my part.


myLot reputation of 84/100. YamiKiba (699)   ranked 12 out of 940 in anime  4 years ago

lol. . .that's kinda sad. In general there are a lot of people who comment on things they watch, anime or not. You aren't weird. It's perfectly normal.


myLot reputation of 96/100. saizo6 (1456)   ranked 4 out of 940 in anime  4 years ago

lol...I know that. But my parents think it's weird because they'll hear me laughing out loud or saying something in the middle of the night. That's when I usually watch anime.

I have no idea... But mostly alone. But with someone you can give opinions or tell a joke about something funny happened there. O.O But again, mostly alone.

I watch anime mostly by myself. I do it like that because I don't get disturbed or anything and it usually works for me becuase I like to marathon a lot of anime's out there and I just hate it when someone is calling me or needs me as soon as I get to the good part of an anime. Now I've never watched it with anybody because I don't really know anyone who likes anime. My sister likes some but she can NEVER finish one or she'll stop after a few episodes no matter how good the anime is. Though the only one I think she's finished and I was actually there with her to watch it with her was Zero no Tsukaima season 1 and 2 and part of Season 3. Oh and Princess Monoke and Raxephon the movie. But being sister and brother she's a girl and has her girl opinions and me being the fanatic and older brother we share very different opinions. I did introduce one friend to Vampire Knight but stopped after that one.

Most of my friends can't take my 4 hour long slots I sometimes set apart for anime. It's fun to watch with friends, but only when they are quiet. One of my friends constantly, pauses and rewinds whenever something cool happens.

I watch most of my shows online, so I tend to watch them alone. But I always talk about them with other people later.

I love watching anime with my boyfriend. In that way, we can express our thoughts and ideas about the anime. It is one way of our bonding together.
