What are Zig Forums's thoughts on group watching?

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.

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.

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

It's good for a couple of episodes but it should really only be done with more hype shounen than anything else.

I never really get anywhere if it's a full show, but watching OVAs and movies with my friends is fun

only good for when you're making youtube reaction videos for money

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

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.

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.

Good for dumb fun shows. Absolutely horrible for any sort of serious drama.

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

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

Good for good anime but not shitty anime like Symphogear

Unfortunately the mods are well to be faggots.

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.

my initiation into anime was my girlfriend and her friends making me watch all of hetalia with them

nice tits

do storytime threads count?

Technically i'd say yes

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

Can't wait.

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

Fucking flakes, man. Those guys plague half of my TTRPG sessions thanks to their rubbish sleeping schedules.

>Interacting with other humans

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