Pro tip: found a trick to binge faster on Crunchyroll that actually saves time

I got tired of waiting for the next episode to load after the credits roll on shows like One Piece. So I tried clicking the skip button right when the outro song starts instead of waiting for the full ending. It shaved like 3 minutes off each episode and I finished a whole arc in two days instead of three. Has anyone else tried this or got a better way to speed through recaps?

Oh man, you're definitely onto something here. I started doing that skip trick during the longer recaps on Boruto and it honestly feels like cheating but in a good way. Those opening recaps can drag on forever sometimes, especially on older shows where they recap like five minutes of stuff you just watched. I mean, the real power move for me is to just keep clicking the skip button the second the outro hits, and sometimes I even skip the intro if I've already seen it that session. Idk why more people don't talk about this, it's basically a free hour back on a marathon day.

See, I actually disagree with you here. I grew up watching stuff on broadcast TV where you couldn't skip anything and I think that forced me to pay closer attention. When you skip the recaps and intros, you miss little details or mood setting that the creators put in there on purpose. I tried skipping on a couple shows and then got confused later because I missed a character introduction that was buried in the intro sequence. It's not just filler, sometimes it matters.

Agree completely but watch out, next thing you know you'll be skipping the entire episode just to get to the credits faster. That's where I'm at now, I skip the intro, the recap, any flashback that lasts more than ten seconds, and sometimes I just fast forward through fight scenes if they're stretching out too long. It's a slippery slope to basically just watching a slideshow of plot points. Maybe we should just start reading plot summaries online and save ourselves the whole hassle.
