| Yeah, I started Welcome to the NHK because Misaki was a cutie. I left the show with a favorite OP, a soundtrack I listen to pretty regularly, and an S-tier waifu. |

| Yes, Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit. I wanted to see how a story with a protagonist in her thirties would be handled. It was handed very well. |
 I recently started watching Vinland Saga because my friend told me how much of a badass Thorkell was - punching horses and wrestling bears. I was half-sold on that alone already. But when he told me that he's a real historical person and so are most of the characters, I was like Gimme some of that historical anime! |
Ya boy is going to Con Alt Delete 2020! See you there! |
| Started Kyoukai no Kanata because of Mirai Kuriyama. |
| Jojo's Bizarre Adventure - Came for Dio (because Dio memes), stayed for the Jojos |
 |
| Only got into watching Black Clover because I saw a pic of Gordon Agrippa. Anime Marilyn Manson? Uh... Color me obsessed. |
Have you done your punches of gratitude today? |
| It happened to me more than i can remembr acually. I started Re:Zero to judge Rem for myself, and begin to dislike her for an actual reason. She ended up being my 2nd best girl though. I'm about to begin KanColle just because I've become obsessed with Shimakaze's look. I watched Denki-gai no Honya-san because I fell in love with some pics of Sensei talking about panties. I watched Magical Nyan Nan Taruto because the main looked like a catgirl mahou shoujo maid. I watched Musaigen no Phantom world because I saw a gif of Mai's boobs giggling. That's what I remember now, but I'm sure that the list could go on if I were to dig. |
  |
| Code Geass because of Lelouch. But cuz I recognized CLAMP's design right away (my favorite mangakas) and watched. Anime is my favorite now too |
| I had this wallpaper for quite some time: ...recently, I said to myself: "I need to see this anime featuring that cute pig!" Thus, I started watching Seven Deadly Sins because of Hawk. |
| I started watching Black Lagoon because Revy seemed cool and I love badass female characters. Another one is Berserk, I started watching it because I was heard that Griffith is one of the most hated characters ever and I got interested. |
 |
| Ok, I started sword art online just because of Asuna. I was a noob to animes and I loved her so much that I had to look into it. Then when I looked into the premise, I thought it will be a dope anime as well. It kinda disappointed me though. But I'm grateful to Sao for introducing me to the vast reserves of anime. Moreover, we just have the best season in alicization. And they're doing war of underworld so well that it is not seeming like Sao! |
| SAO PROGRESSIVE ANIME HYPE |
| Makise Kurisu from 僕たちは勉強ができない. I saw a clip of her in YouTube and I was like, "I got to watch this." was not disappointed |
| Official account of the Eastern Roman Empire |
| index, because of misaka. she looked like a cool yet normal person. she doesn't scream badass, but looks like she can handle herself. I stayed for accelerator and well grounded western magic. |
| 馬鹿げた倫理 全部ガラクタで |
| Fairy Tail because I remember liking the design of Natsu and how he acted in a clip on youtube. If I saw that same clip now I'd laugh and think about how retarded I was back then. |
| I saw nyanpasu renge clip. Never thought I would make a post in this thread. (non non biyori) |
| Well I cant answer your question at the moment but I can tell the anime that Im gonna watch in the future cuz of one character, the anime is Golden Time. Kouko Kaga looks so cute <3 |
 |
| One recent example I remember is that I watched a YouTube video on tsukishima from haikyuu. His character development was extremely fascinating to me, so I decided to watch haikyuu for him. |
 |
| I watched Tsurezure Children after I saw Akagi Masafumi The Tsundere Tamer in one short clip. |
| I just started watching Hunter x Hunter because of Hisoka Morow. |
 |
| I started to watch Free! because of Mcs. Mcs are the sexiest and hottest guys I ever seen |
 |
| FGO Babylonia, because of Gilgamesh. Surprisingly it made me interested in the entirety of Fate franchise. |
| Theres a lot but the ones i only remember are: Misaka (Toaru Series) Megumi (Saekano) Mikasa (Shingeki no Kyojin) Tsukuyo (Gintama) Akame (Akame ga Kill!) Kumiko (Hibike! Euphonium) Horikita (Classroom of the Elite) Kunieda (Beelzebub) Shiemi (Ao no Exorcist) Yuuna (Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Spring) Maryla (Fairy Gone) |
| B O C C H I S W E E P |
| I watched Angels of Death purely for Zack's sexy psychotic ass Also Black Lagoon for Revy, someone told me she was amazing and she really is |
| I started HxH because of Hisoka and FMAB because of Roy Mustang. |
 |
| I started Inuyasha because Sesshoumaru seemed like an interesting character.I kind of had a vague idea of the arc he goes through,so I wanted to see that. |
|
| Just finished Darling in the FranXX, and that's a good example for this; watched it for Zero Two. Other than that, I remember... Chuunibyou for Takanashi Rikka (She's adorable!) Code Geass for Lelouch Lamperouge and CC (They're a popular duo, it's a must.) Monster for Johan Liebert (My friends seemed to like this character.) Kaichou wa Maid-sama for Usui Takumi (He's a popular character as well.) Gundam SEED for Athrun Zala (I really liked his character design, and Gundam.) Natsume Yuujinchou for Natsume (Also popular among friends.) |
 |
| Watamote tbh, even tho the premise got me interested as well. Also Mahouka. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Saitama - One Punch Man Maybe there's more I didn't remember when I wrote this. EDIT: Just remembered that I checked out an isekai anime a few months ago(?) for a red headed(?) villain who back stabbed the MC her memes were all over the place, the hate was real and I wanted to know what it was all about, I was disappointed, the character was likable lol |

| Hanako and Tsukasa (Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun ) Thorkell (Vinland Saga) Loved both. |
| I started watching JoJo due to DIO's excess of sexiness. I watched Inuyashiki because there was one badass scene i saw on instagram i started konosuba cuss of Aqua |
 Maybe watching, maybe reading, probably living |
| It happens to me quite often ! The majority of the shows I'm gonna list are shows I would've watched anyway, but may wouldn't have prioritized if it wasn't for the character I was interested in. -I recently started Akage No Anne because of the adorable bean that is Anne and I don't regret it, I love Anne as much as I love her show. -I watched Miss Monochrome The Animmation because of Miss Monochrome's design, but I didn't really like it. If you're wondering why I decided to watch the second season, I honestly have no idea. It's addictive. -Akatsuki No Yona for Yona, Yoon and Zeno (yes three characters I'm cheating), and I don't regret this one either. I love those three characters (Zeno even won a spot in my favorite characters) and I love the show as a whole. -Chuunibyou for Rikka, I honestly wouldn't have watched it if it wasn't for her. Unfortunately I was pretty disappointed, though Rikka's still a good character I really like. -Eizouken for many reasons but mostly for Kanamori. I love the show and Kanamori, but what's ironic is that my favorite ended up being Asakusa, the one I had no interest in before starting the show. -Gakkou Gurashi for Kurumi, she intrigued me so much. Well that was another disappointment, but this time I can't even say I really liked Kurumi. -Gosick for Victorique, and I don't at all regret. The anime is great and Victorique is now one of my favorite characters. -Kyoukai No Kanata for Mirai... This time that's not even a disappointment, and I already wasn't expecting much. -Plastic Memories Isla, ultimately same as Gakkou Gurashi. (I kinda like Isla but I was expecting more.) -Princess Principal for Chise, it wasn't bad but I expected more, from the show like from Chise herself. (Dorothy is best girl in my eyes.) -Rozen Maiden for Shinku. I really like her and the show, but the one who stole my heart at the end is Suigintou. -Yuki Yuna for Karin. I love the show, and Karin is one of my favorite characters. -Zombieland Saga for Saki. I liked her but I once again expected more. -Kill La Kill for Nui Harime, I've seen a lot of scenes with her on youtube (yes I got spoiled but I'm fine with it) and I consequently decided to binge watch the show just for her because she is the type of villains I love. That is until I realized when she was going to appear. (I've only seen the first ep for now and while I liked it, it's quite particular, so I prefer to wait for when I'm really in the mood.) -Violet Evergarden for Violet, I really like both her and the show. -Youjo Senki for Tanya, I've only seen 2 eps for now but I want to go back to it just for her. -Mirai Nikki for Minene Uryuu, I really like her but the show isn't for me and I don't like Minene enough tostay just for her. -Watamote for Tomoko after watching scenes on youtube... I've been anxious the entire episode, it felt too real. I still consider going back to it for Tomoko despite having dropped though. Edit : Funny to see this thread coming back, because I have four characters to add. -Date a Live for Kurumi, I honestly wouldn't have even approached that thing if it wasn't for her (she has a very good design and a seemingly great personality), and while at first I really wanted to slap myself for having binge-watched 6 episodes just to meet a random yandere (even though I liked her personality) the last episode I watched provided her some interesting depth, now I'm getting back the hope that I didn't watch all this for nothing. (Totally expecting for things to be bad though, that's Date a Live after all. But I hope they won't mess up this time, I really do. This girl has the potential to be in my extended favorites if they handle her correctly.) -Anzu from Hinamatsuri, I really wasn't interested in the show, mostly because of the character designs but also because I strongly disliked Hina's character when I read the first chapter, but seeing how adorable and well-written Anzu seemed to be, I decided to give it a chance. While I'm a little bit disappointed by how much her character has been recently stagnating, I'm still really glad to watch this show, not only because it just like Hina grew on me, but also because Anzu is indeed adorable and well-written. -Darling in the Franxx for Zero Two, well I didn't dislike the show but it was a real mess, and Zero Two was both what I expected and the total opposite. I don't dislike her but I'm very disappointed at what they did with a character with as much potential. -Iruma-kun for Clara, because she is absolutely adorable (yes in that case that's the only reason). Well not only is she adorable but she's also surprisingly well-written, and the show itself is very fun. I can also add that my main reason for having picked up Konosuba was because of Megumin's popularity that made me intrigued by her, I didn't expect much but she looked like a fun character. I can't say how disappointed I was (Aqua is better imo, and she herself isn't anything amazing). For a similar reason, while I always wanted to watch it Chika kinda convinced me to watch Kaguya-sama (along with the show's populariry), just because of her dance. Well I really liked the show, but while I liked Chika Kaguya definitely became my favorite character in it. (And yes I know I only named female characters, for some reasons I have a harder time getting hyped by male anime characters before I actually meet them) |

| My Hero Academia : I really loved Shinso's character design. Jojo : my friends kept telling me Dio was worth watching it, and because I also wanted to get all their references. Angel Beats!: I saw a huge spoiler about it involving Yui and Hinata that touched me so hard that I had to know the story behind it. |
| just the shows that only really have one character like the saga of tanya the evil |
| Don't know how this hasn't been mentioned yet, but I would say Trinity Seven. After watching a couple clips, I was convinced Arata would be one of the greatest harem protags, and I was not wrong. His interactions will all of the girls were gold. Too bad the rest of the show was pretty dogshit. |
| Fate Series - Because of Rin (and Ufotable ofc). Mirai Nikki - Because of Yuno. That is pretty much all, I usually go in blind when I start an anime. |
 |
| Touken Ranbu - for Mikazuki Munechika and Shokudaikiri Mitsutada Bleach - for Toushiro Hitsugaya (waiting so long for him to show up was painful OML) K - for Suoh Mikoto |
