I randomly stumbled upon Basilisk (2005) on a pirate streaming site back in 2012 and got hooked.

I randomly picked up Bakemonogatari(the book itself) without knowing anything at all about it. Seriously, I didn't even knew it was a supernatural story with half-vampire protagonist. I just came across it when looking for Japanese light novels. Going into the book completely blind was one of a kind moment in my life.

Strawberry Marshmallow, Azumanga Daioh, Bakuon - it was one of 8 shows available on anime network when i found it. I loved it right away!

Aishiteruze Baby - It was uploaded by a channel on YT, not legally, but the poster uploaded another anime i was watching

Mayo Chiki, Kiss Him not me - randomly recommended to me on YOuTube
My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine.

We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by

I've been watching anime for over 10 years, but in the last 3 or 4 years, I completely stepped away from that world. I only started watching anime daily again about six months ago, and it's all thanks to '86'. I stumbled upon it by chance, watched it, and it reignited my passion.

Two other honorable mentions from the last six months are ReLife and Call Of The Night.

Anyway, when I first started watching anime, it wasn't popular at all in my country, so every anime you found felt like a discovery and a probable gem.

Almost all titles seem as random to me looking back to even the 80s and 90s. Specifically even back in the early 2000s simply needed to catch a lot of shit to watch that wasn't available being broadcasted on TV, one would have to rent it on VHS or DVD, or simply just buy the shit at some place like Suncoast video, simply just to check out.

One Anime that comes to mind for me the early 2000s was picking up the 1st volume of "Miami Guns". That shit is sheer hilarious top tier trash (If one is into shit like this, it's a most own classic). To this day I sometimes watch that shit just for a good laugh to share with friends, in my mancave while we drink beer and shot games of pool.

Something more modern was randomly picking up "Ōoku: The Inner Chambers" on Netflix when it was streaming.

I never see (or in some of their cases, have very rarely seen) people talk about these, but I thoroughly enjoyed them. Most of them I found by randomly browsing on here.

Psychic Princess

Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts

Princess Jellyfish
(lots of princesses on this list today lol)

Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro

My Roommate is a cat

Welcome to Dr. Irabu's Office/Trapeze

Mokku of the Oak Tree/Saban's Adventures of Pinocchio
(This one is the most niche of this whole list lol, it's a dark af "children's" Pinocchio anime)

https://myanimelist.net/anime/26/Texhnolyze one of the most unique anime in all aspects. Very interesting cast of characters and world along with story. The journey from beginning to end was unforgettable and though its very confusing at the start its still worth the watch.

I first watched the new anime for this series but now ive watched the og aswell https://myanimelist.net/anime/31433/Ginga_Eiyuu_Densetsu__Die_Neue_These_-_Kaikou truly the best space anime with a grand cast of characters.

https://myanimelist.net/anime/37965/Kaze_ga_Tsuyoku_Fuiteiru i never thought an anime about running could be so beautiful.

Cross Ange. I decided to watch it literally not even having read the synopsis. I was in love with it halfway through episode 1.
