Finally realized I was binge-watching anime on 1.5x speed for six months and missing half the emotional beats

Caught myself during a quiet scene in a Ghibli film and noticed the music was hitting way differently at normal speed, so now I'm wondering how much I actually absorbed from the last five series I blew through, has anyone else dealt with adjusting their viewing pace after realizing they were rushing?

Adjusted my pace from 1.5x to normal and suddenly realized I'd been speedrunning emotional scenes...

Never thought about it before but you're right, that really changes how you experience the show.

Man it's wild how one little shift in perspective can totally flip everything upside down, right? I've been noticing that a lot lately with pretty basic stuff I always took for granted.
