| For me, this happened on the 1st episode of I got reincarnated as a slime. Coming into in I only knew it was an Isekai since I was looking for that type specifically to marathon. And as I watched the 1st episode the whole vibe and like interaction of the MC with his environment checked all my list and even reading the side stories just made me love it more. Honorable mention: 2nd episode of One Piece when Zoro was introduced 1st episode of Snow White with Red hair when Zen and Shirayuki had that "love at first sight" meeting and their banter with one another |
| "When I decided to follow my dream, I had already discarded my life.” -Roronoa Zoro |
| Gintama proved that to me, I liked Gintama from the very first episode and and I liked it to the very end, truly a Masterpiece |
 |
| Yeah same, I totally agree with TenSura. Fucking great show. |

| It's Love Live and Symphogear for me. These are just recommended for me and I insta love these. For older time, it's MSG 08th MS team. After the first episode and knowing that the mc name is Shirou, I know I'm gonna loved it. And I did. rated it 9/10 |
 I wasted all my time in rewatching to the point of my rewatch total is higher than my overall anime total lmao |
| The first scene of Gatsu no lion when he said that he likes the view of the river and goes out in the heat to buy something idk maybe water. |

| recently it was fate zero. dont remember others atm |
| "Nobody is stronger than me, even when I go easy on them. Remember that" - Ayanokoji Kiyotaka |
| Monster, because I like thrillers and from the first episode it set a very good atmosphere. Steins; gate, even when some people think the first 8 episodes are boring, it got my attention completely. And mainly Gintama. The first 2 episodes where weird, but I liked them and the love continued increasing. Others could be Erased and Code Geass. |
| Higurashi, the moment Rena went psycho the first time I knew it was gonna be good, and I was not disappointed. |
| All of the anime in my favorites. I fell in love with them right from the first episode, even One Piece and Black Clover. |
 |
| Sakura Trick The lesbians dont waste any time and kissed early in the first episode,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES From that moment I know this anime is for me =P Hehehehehehe and it just gets better and better,,,So many sweet lesbian kisses,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES  |
 |
| The first few minutes of HxH drew me in instantly. I felt like, "damn, this is going to be the best kind of nostalgic wholesome". Oh how wrong I was on that front, but I ended up loving the show for all kinds of other reasons. |
| Fate/Zero. The first episode is still my favorite 1st episode in all anime. |
| Always nice to see love for slime <3. For me it was Revue Starlight and A Place Further than the Universe in 2018. Both went on to become two of my favourites ever. |
| When Saitama started punching I was already in. |

| Here's my list: SAO, this may seem bad to many, but when I watched it, it amazed me. Attack On Titan, the first episode made me know I was in for a masterpiece. Steins;gate, the first episode had a weird affect, nothing in this episode made sense up until the ending of the anime and then I considered it a masterpiece. Akame ga kill, this may seem like a shitty pick, but at the first episode I knew this anime was for me, and it was. Mushoku Tensei. Although this one is really new, the first episode blew me away and im still loving this anime. |
| I gave up on character of the week since it takes too much thinking. I'll just change my forum pfp to whoever I want every week lol. |
| it was prison school i watched the kiss at that moment i knew that this show's gonna be a fuckin masterpiece and indeed it was a masterpiece |
 OBAMOS |
2077 said: for me it'd be made in abyss, the world sucked me in right from the beginning. one piece it took a while though Same with Made In Abyss. The final scene of the first episode (where we first hear Hanezeve Caradhina) sold me on it completely. So much so that it's worth linking again here :- |

| I always go into high mean score shows with high expectations, and my favorites are those that exceeded that. This includes Gintama, Clannad AS, Death Note, and The Tatami Galaxy. |

| gintama haikyuu episode 1 k-on episode 1 attack on titan episode 1 etc. |
| Talentless Nana. Predictable show with boring cast but i watched it in <1 day and really liked it |
| signature under construction lol |
| The pet girl of sakarou-sou. It was one of my first animes and I found out about it when I was scrolling though yt and it recommended me a complication of Shiina Mashiro moments and idk why and it’s gonna sound really stupid but something clicked that made me think that I’m already gonna like it. I watched the first ep and it was just as good as I though. I also finished the whole season in about a day and already rewatched it 2-3 times over the past year. It definitely one of my favourites to this day and I don’t think it’s gonna change. |

| The first episode of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun did that for me. After watching a girl coin flick knock up a car, I just knew I would like this. |
 |
| Steins;Gate: I really loved how Okabe and his friends act towards each other. It reminds me a lot of how my friends and I act towards each other. Madoka Magica: Highly intriguing and had amazing visuals. I knew it was going to be my favorite the second I finished the first episode |

| The one I am currently watching, its called ACCA. I had it on-hold for years. I watched the first ep sometime in the year it was airing...i put in on hold because I cant handle watching a currently airing series. But the moment I saw its picture i knew i would like it, and even if I did but it on hold for years, i still went back to it and yes I did love it. I simply dont want it to end. |

| Kingdom Come Deliverance II GOTY 2025 Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is another worthy GOTY contender I tip my fedora to Sandfall Interactive, excellent debut gentlemen! If digital buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing My curiosity is an act of love for truth I do love the truth, I love it so much that I don't want to lie. Lying is tiring & in the end, the only thing that stands the test of time is truth, lies decompose over time. |
ACasualViewer said: The first episode of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun did that for me. After watching a girl coin flick knock up a car, I just knew I would like this. No truer words were ever written. Railgun Forever. |
| Tons, upon tons. Here are a few; Akame Ga Kill One Piece Bleach Naruto Hunter x Hunter Kuroko no Basket Major Durarara etc. etc. etc. |
 |
| The ones that I remember being like "I'm gonna love this" in the first couple of episodes the most were Gintama, Uchuu Kyoudai, JoJo and Golden Kamuy. Also Jujutsu Kaisen around ep.4. |
 |
| Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken Magic Kaito 1412 Cowboy Bebop Violet Evergarden K-ON Kono Subarashii Sekai Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou Kakegurui Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear |
| The Fate series for sure Monogatari Oregairu Those 3 i loved them |
 |
sameeee. laughed my ass off every episode. |
| Definitely K-ON. That shit had me hooked from the first minute I saw it Clannad as well, when I listened to Dango Daikazoku for the first time I went "oh fuck the magnum opus of anime is right before my eyes" |
| watch this and your dick (or vagayna) will literally blow off with the sheer amount of force and momentum created by inertia and Einsteins second law :) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXJuefY2tG1lB9q7QaFJQLQ |
| Death Parade and Houseki no Kuni The vibe of the first episode of Death Parade and HnK had me hooked. Death Parade had that amazing first episode with darts and cheating, which had me on the edge of my seat. Houseki no Kuni looks amazing with its visuals and music which got me interested even more. |
 |
| Sora yori mo Tooi Basho 3-gatsu no Lion Steins;Gate Kakushigoto (as soon as the first opening hit) |
| Don't mind me, just passing by... Halloween 2024:       |
| The most recent that I remember is 3-Gatsu no Lion, before watching I had a feeling I'm going to love it, after watching the first few minutes of the first episode it instantly hooked me, now it's one of my favorite shows of all time. |
* |
| Pretty much all my favorites were exactly this, especially Utena. It gave me everything I thought it was promising with its first episode and so much more. |
