If you watch an anime without subs or dubs, how much do you understand?

Posts

I know bits and pieces so idk, I still feel I would not get the full idea of what is going on without having subs on.

I mainly watch subs, but if I see a raw clip I can usually understand the common one-liners. Everything else is confusing though

A fair bit. Can't say I'm really amazing at that but I got the overall sense of pretty much each action in Gokujo.

That depends.

When I watch kids anime, there's probability that I know the story 60%-100%.

And when I watch kind of Ghost in the Shell or Texhnolyze, it will be less than 60%.

I kind of enjoy not being able to understand, if I just fall asleep it probably won't matter and I can watch it again if I missed anything...

Other than very common phrases, I don't understand shit. But I'm not watching anime to learn Japanese so it's all good.

this tbh

obv the more dialogue-heavy shows will be harder to understand by just seeing the visuals

I can understand basic Japanese grammar, but I'm still fairly ignorant when it comes to vocabulary and Kanji, so I maybe can pick out anywhere from 15% to 25% of what's said.  Ideally, that range will increase as I study more.
