How do you pick new anime to watch? Is it something which is easy to do for you? If it's easy then.... |

| Very easy, there are plenty to choose from. |
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |
| Very easy. I have a huge list of older anime that I wanted to get into, a lot of classics too. |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Aaah, 100+ Stuff in my PTW list, Im suffering from over choice. My strategy is to just quickly hit one and dive into it no further questions. Eg in mood for a specific theme? Just choose the first option |
| Why will it be difficult? Since I have many ongoing series, I just need to go to the list and pick one. |
 |
| What kind of question is that, obviously yes. |
| Since I started streaming 7years ago I haven’t had any difficulty finding15-25 series to watch per season. If I ever get tired of seasonals I have plenty older series I missed or didn’t finish. |
  |
| I just check seasonal ones. atm it's just hard to continue what I started. |
| Personally I don’t think I’m gonna have a hard time finding a new anime to watch. My PTW list is close to 200, so not gonna finish that any time soon heh |
| If there are cute anime girls being advertised on it, then I will watch it. It is that simple. |
| Recently I've found it easier to pick anime to watch. I'm watching way more seasonal anime now than I ever have before. Been sniping series on the side too, feels good to make progress. There is still a ton of anime that I want to watch though. After I finish Lucky☆Star I'm in-between choosing a couple different shows. Gonna pick one and make it happen. I'm trying to work my plan to watch down but it grows every other week. lol |
| Yes. Once gathered some watching experience, simply looking into the recommendations sections for anime you already saw is probably the best quick way to find great shows you will most likely enjoy. I was surprised how my favorite anime which nobody talks about is the 5th or 6th recommendation for an anime that has impressed me so much that I started looking for something similar. It's been 2 months before I finally found it, but if only I have checked the recommendations section before, it would take less than a week for me to discover it. Use ratings for any rare brilliant anime rated below 8 or even below 7 which nobody talks about to find people who are smart enough to see its brilliance, they have the widest knowledge of less popular anime and most honest ratings that reflect both their feelings during the watch and cold-blooded reasoning after the watch. You will find probably just one such person among a thousand, but it would be simply impossible with anime rated 8+ because the 9s and 10s given by competent viewers are mixed in with the 9s and 10s given by everyone else. Ask friends for recommendations, people from your social circles generally have tastes close to you. Follow reviewers who you trust. What not to do: Trust public ratings and public opinion for high rated anime. Restriction of range decreases the predictive validity for ratings for popular anime down to zero. |
Black★Rock Shooter (TV) is beyond its time arthouse fantasy/psychological drama/psychological horror/action. Should you watch it? See my review.  ⁺  ⁺  ⁼  |
| "Oh, this anime looks interesting... Adds to PtW" "Scrolls through PtW some unspecified amount of time later. Oh, this seems like something I want to watch right now." Basically, just this. Sometimes someone will say "You should watch this", and I'll decide whether to add it to my PtW or not, but beyond that I also have a "Priority" list on my profile, which is more or less a personal self-suggestion. So basically, it's very easy, since my PtW list is long enough that replenishing it is a non-issue. |
Opinions are opinions, and differing opinions can co-exist. 🙂 But I don't do debate, life's too short to spend time debating people.    |
| i haven't watched anything in a year i think. I try to watch something but can't continue. it's been really tough to get back into anime for me |

| Look at whatever pops out on social media for new anime content tbh... |

PostMahouShoujo said: You're wrong. Very often (unless it's a super popular title that gets its ratings because it's super popular) public opinion generally matches the anime or manga. You can also read reviews and see collections similar to animeЧего не следует делать: доверять общественным рейтингам и общественному мнению в отношении аниме с высоким рейтингом. Ограничение диапазона снижает прогностическую достоверность рейтингов популярного аниме до нуля. |
| Not easy, feels like quite the commitment to watch anything rn. |
| Depends. In terms of seasonal anime, it's either gotta be something I heard about ahead of time and I know I wanna watch, like an adaptation of a manga I really like, or if I'm just scrolling through the seasonal page, it has to fit within my (narrow, extremely specific) personal criteria, i.e. no harem, no isekai, no all-female cast, preferably have a seiyuu I like, etc...I don't like picking out seasonal anime to watch blindly. Is that a narrow-minded way of choosing? Am I potentially "missing out" on "gems"? Yes. However, after almost two entire decades of watching anime, I know exactly what I want to watch and exactly what I don't wanna watch, just by looking at something, and I'd honestly rather not waste what little free time I have at this point wading exasperatedly through 12-24 episodes just to see what everyone else thinks is great about a certain series. It's also why I don't take recommendations from someone unless they have the same taste as me lol. |
| usually new anime looks shiny it's kinda hard not to catch glimpse of it. |
| Easier than I thought. This season didn't look very appealing, but here I am watching 11 new anime. Guess it doesn't take a lot to make me watch something. Usually seeing a funny scene, an interesting promise or a busty girl will be enough. |
| Hello rin-Chan.. It's very easy for me, I guess I look at the synopsis, the genres and themes and the display posters and there you have it.. That's all it takes for me.. |
| Reading synopsis & checking the genre & theme is enough. |
| People love to overcomplicate things It's as simple as >pick random anime >pirate it >watch it |

| I have a really long list with enough shows to keep me away from outside recommendations xD |

Rinrinka said: How do you pick new anime to watch? If it's shows that ended then it's like this: 1. Collection of anime that I even slightly interested in because of reasons. 2. Filter them to 10 anime based on reasons. 3. Put them in a wheel online, spin the wheel and get an anime to watch. And when I finished watching the 10 anime I put in the wheel, I repeat the process. If it's seasonal anime, then I just decide to watch anything that interest me, and might pick up a few more during the season based on the reception. Rinrinka said: Is it something which is easy to do for you? What I said might sound complicated, but it's very easy to do. |

| Picking up anime that look interesting is easy, the difficult part is sitting down and starting to watch them. Especially since the chance to get disappointed is over 90% for me these days. |
| Find top lists and look at what's the latest well-received thing. |
| The only time I find it hard for me is when I'm deciding between a seasonal or something older that's been on my PTW for a while |
 |
| Pretty easy, especially for seasonal shows - there are so many shows airing every season now, so there will always be at least 1 that interest me and I'll just watch all of them. If not, I always have something on my PTW list, but it gets a little bit challenging when choosing completed shows because I usually marathon the episodes and watch them one by one so I have to choose which one I want to watch first. |

| I wouldn't call it easy, but I do have some anime I've been planning to watch for years that I haven't gotten around to yet. I'm getting pickier as the years go by. |
