Whether it be you saw a cool fight scene from it or you saw a clip that was just so weird that you had to get the context behind it. What are some anime you watch just to see the context of a clip that you would scene from it out of context.

My example would be Highschool of the Dead. Cause I wanted to get the context behind the matrix tiddies.

Huh. Good question. And honestly? I'm not sure. Maybe I've watched anime before, due to the clips I saw from it, but I don't think I ever watched an anime JUST to get the context of a clip.

I think the main reason I watched Unlimited Blade Works was to see what the deal was with the "just because you're correct, doesn't mean you're right" and "the archer class is really made up of archers" memes, and to see if it was really that bad... It was really that bad.

Also, the memory is hazy, but I think I watched Aldnoah.Zero because of this clip, but spoiler warning if you're into that.

Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai. Saw the clip of the library girl trying to yell, "baka." Had me super curious and decided to watch. No regrets. Anime is pretty funny and chill.

I watched fate/grand order blah blah babylonia because all the clips made it seem like it was in permanent tiger dojo mode. It was also a great opportunity to catch up with a few other entries in the franchise that I missed.

I watched Quintessential Quintuplets simply because the ad on Funimation was appealing to me, I don’t believe I’d ever have seen it under any other situation. It was still good though.

I watched it exactly because of that too!

Another one would be Blend S and all the different takes people made on the opening made me really curious about it. I knew that opening by heart before I even watched the first episode.

Usually, it's when I start seeing a lot of memes about an anime, not really videos.

Never watched a show after seeing a clip. I've seen clips sure but never made me consider the show. I always just go off what I search for at the same time as something else on MAL, recommendations on MAL or when browsing manga via the sources I do I may come across the anime for it.

Shimarin’s quote “my ramen transformed into kiwis” got me very curious to know the context behind the quote. After watching the episode and finding out how that happened, I gotta say, I am very satisfied.

Fate Apocrypha:

I saw a gif of Mordred confronting some blue eyed, long black haired, middle aged wizard type dude, in a London setting. Now after watching the anime, I can safely assume that was a promo for the Fate Grand Order phone-game. And NOT ta scene from the anime. Disappointing but just goes to show how high quality game promotion videos are.
