| scrolling anime by popularity, wow this looks intresting, then watch |
| 95% of the time i find them on pirate sites, unintentionally while searching for an anime im going to rewatch, it happens frequently, the other 5% i find on google |
 |
| When I hear about anime through friends, youtubers or pretty much anything else i just add it to my ptw list then i just pick whatever I'm in the mood for |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| All of them except characters, reviews, the age (of the anime) and the voice actors. |
| Gintoki and Sugita's birthdays are 1 day apart. |
| Usually I will look at the cover and the characters as well as read the description. I'll try to watch a couple of episodes and if it catches my interest then I will watch it. |
 |
| If it's on MAL then there's a chance I'm going to watch it. |
| all of the above since legit any reason could drive me to watch an anime |
 |
| Looking for stuff withing genres I like is the main way I go about it, but there's a bit of some of the others in a lower priority. |
on 
| aspects that, if i like them, get stuff added to my PTW: genre and other content tags art style theme songs/soundtrack what gets me to actually watch stuff: if i feel like it |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| Thanks for all the replies, as for me I tend to watch anime based on the openings. I just like to vibe. |

So much that it's a little weird when I pick shows based on other things then go into them and sometimes I'm like "this OP is ehh", lol It's somewhat the opposite for me, if the anime opening slaps but the anime itself is bad, I feel empty inside. Same when all the other openings are terrible lol. |
| Profiles pictures. GIF. Pictures shared on Twitter/reddit thread. Memes... Seasonal anime (genre, adaptation, art style, titles, cover) Recommendations Just decided to watch all anime movies for fun. Reading descriptions of random anime on streaming websites. Searching for anime i knew the existence of... |
 |
| I forgot to put other websites, sorry |
| Genre Suggestions, the 2 main ones i use 2 find anime |
| First Reading Descriptions then decide |
| It's a result of most of the above things mentioned except reviews |
| I see them on other profiles or I watch them since they are currently airing |
 ManWild |
| Seasonal stuff is simple, I just follow the news for new announcements and add them if they seem interesting, then ensure I'm aware of everything by checking each individual entry on the chart at the start of the season. For older stuff, it's a mix of scrolling though genre or staff, or just looking up what a show is if one I've never heard of before pops up somewhere, say, on someone's list, in new reviews, wherever. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| Sometimes by ranking list. Sometimes by scrolling on website. Sometimes by cover. And so on Just watch anime don't count what you watch |
|
| 1. Voice actors 2. Genres 3. Suggestions |
 |
| I just choose any random anime I want to watch on the top of my head. |
 Scordolo's Recent Reviews To your eternity Vanitas no Karte |
| I just search on the net or literally anything that you listed above. And when I find something what interests me, I just put on ptw list. For me its a really long list now, and my on-hold are not much shorter either. After I just randomly pick an anime from that 2 list, and watch😆 |
 |
| Genre, recommendations and tags pretty much. |
 just wanna feel wanted by someone other than the police 😫 |
| Always genre, i give every anime a chance. |
| Looking at the data base like Myanimelist |
| Word of mouth from mates, mal suggestions and reviews from youtubers |
| MAL recommendations help, sometimes people actually putting together a list of things help too. Most of the time I watch anything tho. |
| All of the above, except how old the anime is and its ranking on the site. |
  x x x If I touch a burning candle, I can feel no pain. If you cut me with a knife, it's still the same. And I know her heart is beating, and I know that I am dead; yet the pain here that I feel, try and tell me it's not real, and it seems that I still have a tear to shed x x x |
| I look through my PTW or go through my memory of anime and see what I’m in the mood to watch. |
 |
| Glad to see every category got at least one vote. |
| How I find them? - seasonal list - recommendation list on MAL anime pages - personal recommendations by friends - hearing it mentioned in the community - other people's list/profiles What makes me decide to watch them? - cover art - genre, tags - synopsis |
| while browsing through net anything which watch my eyes. I do a background check on it and decide whether to watch or not. there are lots of ways to get to a anime that ranges from browsing through mals lists to some random person random comment. also usually check author/mangaka other work way more than studio or voice actor. I literally never search anime based on voice actor |
