For me, the "Mio Loses It" clip was iconic and hilarious that it made me watch Nichijou.

Asobi asobase made me watch it right after I saw it, lol. I didn't end up liking it as much as I thought it would, but it was funny

there was also an AMV with Bahamut Genesis virgin soul with one of the two characters dancing, and I thought it was adorable.

Watched the entire Grand Blue to find the context of this clip. Worth it.

This is why I watched this series and a few other ones in the franchise because my completionist sense kicked in

Man I have a whole bunch of anime I watched solely because of interesting or hilarious clips:

Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei
I started Irregular at Magic High school because of the badass clips I saw of the main character


No Game No Life
I started No Game No Life because of how completely insane it seemed


Madoka Magica
Magical Girl Gunfight


Zetsuen no Tempest
I had only watched a handful of series at the time so any interesting fight scene was enough for me when I saw this


Selector Infected WIXOSS
The title alone was enough to intrigue me but after seeing this 'battle' scene I was so interested in the show


Baka and Test
I happened to watch this random clip (from the 2nd season of the show) and I was dying laughing and had to watch the rest of the show


Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon
It was less of a specific clip and more of youtube just constantly recommending me bits and pieces of the show until I gave in and watched it all. It's both really cute and funny but also really wholesome and sweet at times.


Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works
I had originally dropped the 2006 fate/stay night but I watched this fight scene from the later season and then immediately picked it back up and went on to watch the entire Fate series.

Such is the power of ufotable's Unlimited Budget Works

I'm sorry if I put too many shows. There are anime I get into and remember for a specific scene.

One of the first series that comes to mind is Saki, I randomly stumbled upon one clip and I saw it, I thought it looked cool, saw more clips and then I was sold

This was the first one

Saint Oniisan. The sauna scene that randomly poped in my yt recommend had me raid the internet to watch the movie and the OVA.

Watched Berserk because I saw a clip of Guts screaming Griffith. That was epic

Cromartie High School since the dub clips. Mainly the "He ate my pencil"

ghost stories dub was a gem

I saw a vid where a girl dressed as a ramen server was fighting a blonde princess-like girl, then the whole shop is destroyed, I immediately knew that I would watch that anime. the name is muteki kanban musume

i watched the doujinshi scene in gekkan shoujo and i thought it was really funny so i watched...

i watched the part in hoshiai no sora where they were talking about gender identity and it seemed angsty and character-centric so i watched that as well

weirdly enough i don't think i've ever watched a shounen show cuz of a scene??? huh.

I remember when I watched a MAD and there was a cool scene from Kekkai Sensen. Too bad the anime was a waste of time, and the clip was from Kekkai Sensen & Beyond, the sequel. So I never managed to watch that scene on the anime. -_-

Saw a clip of Gintoki and Hijikata sitting in a sauna and making the heat hotter. And like the two idiots they are, they tried outbeating one another despite it being all too warm. That is how I got introduced to Gintama lmao

Zombieland saga has been on my plan to watch list because of this epic scene.

It would ruin my experience if I watch rap animes in sub so I'm gonna watch it in dub.

If I remember correctly they did not even dub the rap. It is not even about rapping. It is an Idol show with zombies. None of the songs are dubbed. You'd still have to watch the songs in Japanese

When I first saw Naruto vs Pain, I knew it was my destiny to finish all 500eps of Naruto Shippuuden. I had just finished reading the Naruto manga, and I knew there was an anime but I didn't realize at the time that Pierrot and Hiroyuki Yamashita were absolute GOATS when it came to fight animation and choreography.

It's on pornhub, but the title was something like "Sexy Hentai Lacrosse Player Gets Her Pussy Rocked".
