I feel it's easier for anything to fall into the "speed watch" group when it's a notch on the belt. Tis all. That’s the idea, judging which series fall into which categories.

Otherwise, they just don't make a lot of sense. My guess is that most people who want to speed through that would get frustrated and give up. On the reverse side, some series are just fluff. Spending time analyzing it often produces redundant thoughts. Some series have to be watched at a slower pace. Otherwise, they just don’t make a lot of sense.

I think we all have a mix of these viewing styles, and it isn't about the person, just the way they watch a title, or their level of intrigue (passive or active). I guess it does come off as labeling the viewer, rather than habit/style of the viewing, but I meant the style of viewing rather than saying people are absolute a certain way in every case. I've yet to find any one person who is absolute in every case, so it would be unjustifiable for me to state such a thing. hehe A single person will experience the same type of thing in various ways, it's natural. I'm not sure how I could sum this entry, maybe: The strong titles will be better with savoring, the very weak titles will be better consumed, but the grey titles may need more savoring to bring them up. Of course, the level of a title is subjective as well. Sucking the marrow out of media, I suppose. :) Understood.

Personally, pretty much every anime I've seen has at some point been a number on a lost of 'shit I need to get to' It takes nothing away from my viewing experience though - whether or not I really experience a show comes down to the show itself obviously. When I really like a show I will look for the director and studio and try to explore the background and think about the characters, and if I really like a show it usually changes my life by making me want to become a director XD (see: ef) however when I don't like a show I'm viewer 1. Take Nanoha which I watched parts of in 1.5 speed, read a book through parts of, and watched most of without sound, listening to music over it. I certainly consumed it just because I wanted to know why no one would shut up about it. I wouldn't use the consumer or sniper labels on people who watch anime as a whole, but as a classification for how they watched a certain anime. And yeah, seasonal viewing is hell, IMO.
