I like lolis.

I don't like them sexually.

It's hard to not like lolis, their cuteness pander to the same emotions that naturally makes us fathers.

But it's hard to get off to anything that doesn't have any adult women characteristics like large tits, ass, and thighs.

Well three of my top 5 series(Gurren Lagann, Shakugan no Shana and Fairy Tail) where all watched for a red haired character. That's not the only reason I like those shows it's just what got me interested in watching them.

Yes. Pretty much every schoolgirl comedy I've watched and enjoyed was because of how some characters interacted with each other.

Also, I watched Bleach mainly because I liked Aizen and Hollow Ichigo.

I watched Mondaiji just for Kurousagi and that was by far the worst decision I made as Mondaiji has been the absolute worst series I have ever watched.
I will never again watch a show just because of a character design.

I saw Haruhi on someone's signature, and I think she's interesting. Plus, she is liked by many, so I watched the series. It didn't leave me much impression, but Kyon made the show watchable.

Onizuka. Reading his profile is enough to make me watch GTO.


This is my fall into Anime... She was honestly attractive, so I asked "what is she from?"

A lot of the times when there is a cute anime girl in a series that's supposedly pretty bad I'll watch it anyway.

No fucks given.

A few shows that come to my mind that have a few characters that made me continue watching the show was Mirai Nikki, ToraDora, and Spice & Wolf.

If not for the dynamic pairing of the cool and collected Kirito and hot-blooded rash Asuna. I most likely would have dropped it. oh and Yui >.< adorable.

Thats about all I can think of.

Oh yes, many times xD I'd start Bleach because of Aizen, Durarara because of Izaya and pretty much more that doesn't come to mind right now. But that's how it mostly is. I see one cool character, look for their profile and if I like it, I start watching it eventually after some time (watchlist is too filled x_x).

Yes.

Also, I've stuck with a show for a character/pairing. (Bleach for a pairing, numerous other shows for specific characters)

I have, actually! I was seeing all kinds of Mako and Gamagori images on tumblr and I thought they looked so cute together. I finally figured out they were from Kill la Kill (I didn't want to watch it at first) so I just decided to give the show a shot and watch it. Now I love Kill la Kill, so I think everything worked out in the end ♥︎ I'm still a hardcore Mako x Gamagori shipper, though~.

To be honest, I think Maya of Tenjho Tenge got me through most of the series. I'm not fond of bloody brawls and fanservice, so it's really amazing that I even finished that anime. I got even more hooked when I learned about her history with Mitsuomi.

As for recent anime, I guess this happened with Nagi no Asukara. I had little to no expectations for it at first. I stayed because of Chisaki (I could relate with her.). Then again, this changed after a while and I grew to love the series.

Robotics;Notes - Kaito and Kona

Although they didn't end up together but the scene where Kona was on top of Kaito and kissed him while unconscious makes up my reason for watching the show in the first place
