I used to do it with some friends back in the day, they never really stuck through an entire show ever, stopped doing it because it wasn't really ever fun.
Isaac Morgan
Retarded. Watching something you enjoy should be done by yourself in a comfortable room and without outside noise.
Watching something with others can be done on a second+ watch.
Robert Russell
this! unless: you're doing it with like 2 other poeple your close with cause then it's quiet and we discuss what we just watched afterwards
Justin Jenkins
It's good for a couple of episodes but it should really only be done with more hype shounen than anything else.
Cooper Barnes
I never really get anywhere if it's a full show, but watching OVAs and movies with my friends is fun
Grayson Nguyen
only good for when you're making youtube reaction videos for money
Levi Rogers
I think a fundamental part of experiencing media is communicating about it with others. Not just reacting to it as an individual but coming to understand how the same work can incite different reactions in other people gives you a more full perspective of it. In that way I think group watching is worth it because you're all there to experience it in the same way and directly reflect on it after
Carter Perez
I wish I had friends to watch with. I was able to watch stuff with my collage roommate 2 years ago and it was great. I miss it.
Charles Barnes
Aside from getting someone to watch Popee the Performer around 10 years ago and watching Akira in the 90s I can't recall it happening. I assume it could be fun if I'd ever known anyone that likes similar anime or if I knew anyone now.
Essentially episode threads are group watching and is good enough.
Charles Torres
Good for dumb fun shows. Absolutely horrible for any sort of serious drama.
Bentley Barnes
see you fucks in December

It really depends on who you’re watching with. I hate when I’m watching an anime with people over a stream and they decide to just play some video game when we’re halfway through
Jason Gutierrez
I had a great time marathoning Symphogeah with some random anons earlier this year.
Enjoyment greatly depends on the type of show, though. From experience, things like FullMetal Panic, Code Geass, Log Horizon or Outlaw Star are extremely enjoyable with a couple of friends. Things like Higurashi, Paranoia Agent or even Bebop on the other hand don't really work, and the group watch just makes it awkward to get properly invested
Adrian Cruz
Good for good anime but not shitty anime like Symphogear

I wouldn't know.

Hopefully the threads don't get nuked this year
Caleb Martinez
I don't have any friends

Unfortunately the mods are well to be faggots.
Isaiah Campbell
I'll be your friend
David Foster
Never done it outside of one time where I visited my close friend's college for a sports competition and he took me to an anime club meeting.
I keep my anime hobby a secret generally.
Isaac Williams
my initiation into anime was my girlfriend and her friends making me watch all of hetalia with them
Carson Richardson
nice tits
Justin Torres
do storytime threads count?
Gabriel Edwards
Technically i'd say yes
Juan Carter
I've been watching the sopranos at a friends house for the past month or so and it's honestly just okay. I don't understand why people talk about it like it's the greatest show ever. /blog
John Moore
Can't wait.
Evan Bennett
It doesn't work because some retard's schedule doesn't align with the rest of the group then you just end up not watching anything
Adam Ross
Fucking flakes, man. Those guys plague half of my TTRPG sessions thanks to their rubbish sleeping schedules.
Tyler Williams

Austin Hernandez
I only have one fren and he's not big on anime so I wouldn't know
