| Like for real... 4 out of the 5 seasonal shows that I watched this season is just because I’ve heard it from my fellow FG regulars. I just get on the bandwagon and such, except if it’s a sequel of an anime I watched like Mushoku Tensei. Soooo for me, I don’t pick... I just get on the bandwagon and watch, without knowing if it would be shit or not. And if it’s a sequel to an anime I watched, I will watch it no matter what. |
 I hope no one I know irl sees my secret account~ Anyways, do I look cute in this outfit?~ |
| New series I'm interested in or sequels I want to follow. |
 |
| I look at the seasonal listings, and see what's interesting. When something is a slice-of-life (or not plot-driven at any rate) that I'd like to watch week after week, I decide to watch it this way, as a seasonal (and this is the bulk of my seasonal watching too). And sometimes there are shows that I plotwise find so interesting that even though they are plot-driven and not slice-of-life, I decide to watch them right then as they air after all (this was the case with e.g. Moriarty the Patriot). Before I joined anime sites, I looked at the front page of my streaming site of choice and started whatever seemed interesting from the poster (and this was a surprisingly sound method, as I encountered less sucky stuff than you'd think). |
  |
| I don't know, I just watch whatever I want whether it's bad or good. |
| I usually end up watching majority of the seasonals (new ones) so there's not really a way I am picking them. I have some tips though - either I heard about them in youtube videos or I know manga/LNs. I watch all of the sequels, no matter how shitty previous seasons were. I usually watch all shorts too because they are easy to follow. Other shows... I don't watch stuff like heavy mecha or idol shows (with exceptions). For the rest I am not certain about... I just read forums and decide whether it's worthy or not. |
 |
| I look at the studio mostly or the source material. |
 |
| Sequels I'm interested in, covers, tags, and yes a little hype probably helps but not always. |
 Life is a despicable endurance race |
| Literally just whatever looks good. Seeing what anime youtubers are interested in for the season also helps a bit too. Then I just go through the seasonals list and just add whatever looks even mildly interesting to watch. Usually avoid all the typical isekai titles unless it's called mushoku tensei. First week is just watching the first episode of all the seasonals I've chosen, and then by the 2nd or 3rd episodes of each I'll probably have decided whether or not to continue or drop them. This Fall 2021 has been pretty good, only dropped like 3 or 4 I think, and am still watching like 12. Although some of them have become close to shit- but they're almost done airing so might as well finish them. Anyway, here's what I plan to watch for winter 2022: Attack on titan (duh) Demon slayer (duh) https://myanimelist.net/anime/48736/Sono_Bisque_Doll_wa_Koi_wo_Suru https://myanimelist.net/anime/49721/Karakai_Jouzu_no_Takagi-san_3 https://myanimelist.net/anime/49114/Vanitas_no_Karte_2nd_Season (once I catch up on the first season) https://myanimelist.net/anime/44516/Koroshi_Ai https://myanimelist.net/anime/48414/Sabikui_Bisco https://myanimelist.net/anime/46604/Dolls_Frontline https://myanimelist.net/anime/49969/Tribe_Nine https://myanimelist.net/anime/48553/Akebi-chan_no_Sailor-fuku https://myanimelist.net/anime/45560/Orient https://myanimelist.net/anime/45425/Slow_Loop |

| Any show which seems interesting to me or a good studio is behind it otherwise, I usually end up watching sequel seasons of shows I liked when it comes to seasonals, watch what interests you, and try not to focus too much on public reviews and opinions. some shows might be bad in others eyes, but just watch what u feel like watching |
 |
| I choose them via Eeny, meeny, miny, moe... :) |
 |
| Minimum of 10 seasonal shows. Must watch all sequels/spinoffs of prior shows I've watched. At least 5 must be new adaptations of a franchise that hasn't been adapted before. Nowadays I mainly go off of synopsis when earlier I just went in blind. |
 |
| I normally follow the 4 rules I have which I think are the ones anyone should follow. 1. Plot - Need to be interesting, otherwise it could waste your time. 2. Genre - Check for the genre you enjoy 3. Sequels - Unless the earlier season was bad then skip that 4. Fandom - Check if the fanatics are just crazy or is this something that can be good. |

| I see poster, read the synopsis and watch the trailer then if I find it interesting put it on my schedule of seasonals I will follow every week. For each season I choose 4 anime to watch and the rest on Plan to Watch list to check later. |
| If I like the synopsis, then I usually give it a try. |
 |
| im a romance anime freak so i jst put every anime which has romance tag in it,then i pick all the sequels ive been waiting for,and then at last look for animes frm the studios i like(like i started watching ousama ranking cuz wit adapted it) |
 |
| Typically I just follow the News section to catch them as they're announced, then see if the show sounds interesting based on the Synopsis, Staff, KV and PV, in that order. Then before each season starts I scroll through the whole thing and do the same set of checks to make sure I haven't missed anything. What I also do, and recommended everyone else to, is sort the seasonals by title rather than number of users. That way I don't have to trudge through 3 or 4 rows of hyped junk to get to the actually decent shows. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| I let the Wheel of Names decide for me |
   <°))))彡 <°))))彡 <°))))彡 |
| "Like for real..." I check the premise and the poster (it can contain some important information - character design, atmosphere). If I like the idea I check its first episode. Also I can check a show if there are some interesting comments about it and it's not from a genre I avoid (sport for example). |
| Mine would be prioritizing isekai and then everything else is a bonus |
| I look at the posters, read the titles. if any of those sound interesting I read the description. if it's something I'm familiar with, I'll pick it up. if it's something I'm interested in, I'll pick it up. I end up with 5 or 10 shows like this usually. after this, I just hang on imageboards, if they post something fun or a cool webm, it goes onto the watch list. if it's censored, I wait for the bluray. |

| Most of he times I go througt the list for the next season and pick everything that slightly interests me and for some I start them midseason if I heard some stuff about it. Basically I watch pretty much every seasonal, someone's gotta take the bullet |

| I'll start with the highest rated. They're worth trying to see if they deserve the praise, unless it's something obviously bad like Tokyo Revengers. Then I'll watch any anime with an interesting premise, regardless of their score. I might also check out something recommended here on AD. A positive score progression is usually a good sign here (e.g. Odd Taxi 7.2 -> 8.7, Kageki Shoujo!! 6.9 -> 7.8), but it's not always required for an anime to be good. |
| Seinen tag is given a shot, for all else I wait until the ranking stabilizes. I'm no longer watching them on a weekly basis. |
 |
| I just pick series that received English dubs... :\ |
Formerly known as Kuroni_Kuru |
| The cover art and the description. If it catches my eye, then i'll add it to the list. |
| 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 pick mine by elimination process, simply cut down every Isekai and read the remaining synapsis for picking a new show |
 |
| Avoid Isekai and you only have about 5 Anime to choose from each season. |

| The most talked anime (only 1 ep, if i dont like it then it wont even be added to my list) or the sequels/adaptations of my followed anime/manga I hv never watched any seasonal anime on a whim I am more into the anime/manga that have already been completed in the past |
 |
| I watch older stuff til the current crop of seasonals are finished airing and based on the synopsis, choose the ones that are interesting to me. |
 |
| Genres, the studio and the description given. |
 just wanna feel wanted by someone other than the police 😫 |
| just the popular shit. usually it ends up being shit |
| it is really simple more when when you come know about it first ime. it is that start from the first and end at the last.. yes you read right. watch everything . watch the first eps of everything and then choose selectively acc. to your likes and tastes |
You all have to undrestand that Chainsaw man is impossible to adapt without CG. |
| Well, let's see, out of the next season, the reason why I'm picking up each show I'm going to be watching: Dress-Up Darling: Romcome published in a Seinen magazine. Sabikui Bisco: very good PV that makes it look like an action shounen, despite actually being a Light Novel adaptation. Dolls' Frontline: based on a mobile game with female character with nice char design, tho I'm mostly hoping 416 get heavely featured. Hakozume: Madhouse Damn, listing these made me realize I'm mostly watching sequels next season. |
 |
| - Synopsis - Genres - Source Material - Studio - Staff - Trailers - Waifus |
| By watching PV and Trailers... or in the case of watching aired shows in future.... then synopsis :) |
Everything is Garbage except LoGH |
| I find 30 or so shows that look appealing. After trying them out, I finish 20 or so of them and move on to the next season. |
