| i saw this comment in an episode of Death Note, the moment's that got people hooked (don't worry, no spoilers past episode 2) was the moment the Police Chief from episode 1 came home and it was revealed that was Light's father, then the Lind L Tailor twist in episode 2, where the broadcast was only in that prefecture of Japan was the moment many people got into the series. So it got me thinking, when did your favorite anime go from just "A show to watch" to something you really held in high regard. |

| Some (like FLCL or Mawaru Penguindrum) I couldn't really tell you, they just kinda always were but for other 10s, I could tell you: Devilman Crybaby - the track event Bakemonogatari - Hitagi Crab episode 2 Cyberpunk: Edgerunners - This sounds the same as "it was always good" but the first episode specifically got me hooked |

| Right at the start of Mushoku Tensei the parents of reincarnated Rudeus actually spoke an otherworldly language, and since almost no other anime bothers with such details, it felt like an extraordinary show from the beginning. |
| First two episodes of Bakemonogatari are super good. |
| Lycoris Recoil: Episode 4 conversation between Chisato and Takina on why Chisato is non-lethal then following up on her goals in life. It follows episode 1 doing something similar and at that point I knew, these two are great partners. They actually care to know why each of them think the way they do. Bang Dream MyGo Episode 8 onward: I did not expect Soyo to pivot that hard after Harukage and best of all, she still maintains her darker personality in a more acceptable tone after the fact. Food Court: Episode 1, the moment Wada started yapping on the food court to Yamamoto, all I think of, is wow, I picture myself having these conversations with my non-anime inclined friends all the time. |

| There was a creepy case in Mysterious Disappearances that made me consider putting it somewhere in my top 5. That one was my favorite. I think they should have made all cases as creepy as that one. spoiler |

| With Madoka Magica, I remember the first time I watched it....I was a shy, lonely 12-13 or so year old in foster care sneaking a 3ds into my room (they heavily restricted any sort of device usage for no real reason...a 3ds was easyish to sneak...) to watch anime I could find on the youtube app. Sounds pathetic ik and the video quality was certainly crap, but I was just happy to be able to watch it. Anime was one of my only real escapes from life and I also liked to write my own stories and draw so I definitely latched on to those characters a lot and the storytelling and plot twists were just especially incredible to me at the time. Of course even today the series holds up, but it'll always be a bit special to me. The soundtrack is also amazing. |

The whole of Madoka Magica had me hooked But the moment that made rebellion in my number one spot is of course the ending which blew my mind. To be more specific, her conversation with Kyubey, the moment she says it's love  |

| Monogatari probably the first recap/tease of Kizumonogatari had me hooked immediately. Can't really pinpoint any good moments otherwise. Oshi No Ko tho I have one big moment which blowed me completely.. |
| Dio and Jonathan's first meeting in Part 1 is what got me hooked on the entire Jojo series and made me immediately feel invested in everything with the whole shock value of him kicking Danny. It showed that Jojo was kind of willing to pus hthe bar a bit for me and do some wild shit which is one of my favorite elements of the series |

| Bleach - When Aizen stopped Ichigo's theme song in battle, I for sure thought Ichigo was gonna win and I was so hyped up but then that happened and I didn't expect Aizen to fully violated him like that with just a finger I can't imagine how Ichigo was feeling at that moment with all the training he had to go through and also got his bankai very quickly to then be defeated by a finger 🤣🤣 Bro really said 'i'm tired of hearing your theme song it's my turn now" |

| Nothing comes to mind. A lot of the things I consider favorites from anime, manga, video games, tv-series etc. I knew almost right away that I was gonna like it a lot just from the vibes I got when starting it. So just gut feeling I guess? |

| Most of my favorites either hook me immediately or gradually ramp up with no noticeable "moment." Some early moments (not in Episode 1) that I remember fondly: Golden Kamuy: The bear hunter with an old rifle that tries to hunt a wolf Vinland Saga: The siege involving a bridge and a bunch of logs Sound! Euphonium: Trumpet and euphonium duet on a mountaintop at night Yuru Camp: When the pinecone "talked" internetguy214 said: Orb on the movements of the earth: The trial of Rafal. Great moment, but it was the scene that comes after that that got me really hooked - the last time Rafal and Nowak talk. "A wrong answer is not a meaningless one." |
| Love Live Superstar, Episode 3. At first, it seems like some silly sitcom making fun of Kanon's anxiety (though in a funny rather than mean-spirited way), then she starts crying for real near the end, in a way that really hit some buried nerve of mine. This was the point that I realized, yes, this is a story about depression, and yes, they're actually going to take this seriously rather than give a character one episode and call it a day like Love Live did many times in the past. |

| Neon Genesis Evangelion You can change the audio and subs in the settings. Bocchi the Rock! The whole episode was a masterclass in good direction, but this moment was, perhaps, the most iconic. |

| Made in Abyss - I'd say the very first moment when they first showed the abyss or the turning point on episode 10, but I think it's more how I gradually grow more attached to the world building and cast as the episode goes on that I eventually came to like it. Non Non Biyori - Same as before, I became attached to the characters and their dynamic as the series goes on. Yama no Susume - in season 2 when they climbed mount Fuji and |
