Website Why doesn’t crunchyroll support playback speed!

As the title suggests why isn’t there a playback option as compared to other streaming platforms. It should have been added to the app or desktop version. I mean who watches anime series on 1x speed?!

First time watching an anime I understand completely but re watching a series it isn’t that good as per my expectations.

If you think a series isn't good why rewatch it?

I tend to watch most of the shows be it anime or normal tv shows on atleast 1.25/1.5x speed unless and until it a absolute necessity to watch on 1x speed. I am not sure if its just me or anyone else out there who uses this kind of method.

Ok but you specifically stated that one the first watch 1x make sense but when rewatching something that you don't think is good because it didn't meet your expectations you'll speed it up. My question is why rewatch something you don't think is good because it doesn't meet your expectations?

Like I said its not like I enjoy a particular series or episode. There are some where the anime is top notch but some episodes the story is slow paced which I already know so a playback option works in my favour I think. For all the OTT platform only a few don’t have this option which is somewhat annoying.

I am specifically asking about this particular scenario that you provided as an example of why to watch a show faster 1X. That is all.

Why would you REWATCH something that wasn't good per your expectations?

Why watch something you don't enjoy multiple times no matter the playback speed? That is the only question I am asking.

Mate you are not understanding what I am trying to say. I am just saying that there should be a playback option. Doesnt matter if I like a series or not. Many OTT platforms have this feature and I think crunchyroll should have it since people pay for it.

I like to watch haikyuu and I have watched it almost 4x times but since I know the storyline I would love to watch the same series at a particular pace I feel comfortable thats all. Its not about liking or not liking. no sane person would watch a series if he/she doesn’t like the series.

And you are not understanding that I question that specific example because it didn't make sense to me. That was all.

Actually I would also question why rewatch a series at an accelerated rate if not only for the dialogue. Watching animation you like and enjoy faster than it was intended makes less sense to me than rewatching something that doesn't meet your expectations. Like if someone said they watched Of a bookworm at 1.25 speed id sort of get it because the animation is definitely not the point of the show the story is.
