Before beginning any given anime, do you consider it a requirement for your selection choice for it to be one recommended or pre-approved by a YouTube influencer? Or an individual or group of elitists who are the determiners of a certain subset or niche of anime culture and considered self-appointed guardians of its high art?

Wondering how many out there feel downright compelled to adhere to this process since I've heard of it being a thing.

Christ, that sounds like a horrible way to choose what to watch. At that point, it might as well not be an anime recommendation, but instead an anime conscription.

No. Unfortunately, I failed to make connections to reliable consultants who select and recommend elite sommeliers of anime.

I don't think anyone with half a brain would do that tbh, though that's expecting too much from anime fans.

Yes, I only watch anime recommended by Gagank and The Anime Men
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Perhaps, this is hell.

No, because I've already tried the majority of pre-approved anime. Going forward, I must either watch unapproved anime or give up on the hobby entirely.

So pretty much I chose what to watch before the season starts
1. Ptw any ecchi (pretty rare nowadays)
2. Ptw any series with an interesting concept that sources from a manga
3. Ptw any sequel of a season I like.
I have 0 faith in critics and mal scores to accurately represent my taste.

After the anime season starts I may pick up a series if it seems interesting. I picked up dandandan since I seen the ecchi alien scene, and was interested by it. Meme culture and hentai can market anime to me too.

Now? no. In fact, it's the opposite, if they recommends it. That just means I won't like it.

No, the only requirement I have is that I expect to like it.

No. I develop an interest in watching certain anime based on clips of it I see somewhere on the internet.

It’s nice to discover something i’d never heard about through youtube, but what would possess anybody to have “requirements” like this to watch anything?

And which is an illusion.
