I watched a few anime because of one single character. Character design is very important to me so if someone catches my eye and the anime seems somewhat interesting I will definitely put it on my ptw.

- I think the first one was Haruka Nanase from Free!. I saw a gif of him with cat ears and even though it was edited, I really liked the design so I binged the hell out of it.

- Esdeath from Akame ga Kill. I saw a pretty intense discussion on Facebook about Edeath and Olivier Armstrong, they were fighting over who the real ice queen was. Some people included pictures and Esdeath caught my eye. I didnt want to watch it but many years later I did, and I loved it.

- I watched The Case Files of Jeweler Richard for the two main characters. I saw the covers from the novels on Tumblr and assumed it was Victor x Yuuri fanart until I saw the tags :P Richard reminded me of a blonde Victor so I immediately watched it.

- Eichi Tenshouin from Ensemble Stars, well, I'm not sure if this one counts because the anime wasn't out at that time but his design definitely got me into the game. I would've never watched the anime if I wasn't into the game tho because I don't like idol shows much. so I guess it kinda counts :P

- I started watching Aoharu x Kikanjuu today which was on my watch list because of Hotaru Tachibana. I have a huge weakness for blonde characters and when I found out she was a girl it got me even more interested because I really like reverse traps.

I can't even count how many. Sometimes I research specific types of anime, for example anime with certain king of character, then I watched maybe half a dozen or more shows based on it having one of that kind of character.

Easy. List pretty much every ecchi anime there is. Yuuna-san, Rosario to Vampire, Kanokon, etc. Of course at times we have cases like the thigh lord from SSSSS.Gridman. Yeah generally if only for one character it would probably be because they looked as if were freshly baked out of a high end borderline-hentai.

Yeah, I found about Shinobu from the anime man as well. C'mon, how can you resist to a two for one vampire waifu (adult + loli) xD

But it seems the Ararararagi harem is quite complete, difficult to choose indeed.

Gintama - I saw a video of Gintoki singing the Doraemon opening song and I guess it went well.
Shingeki no Kyojin - because of Levi, basically, and its popularity.
Re: Zero - because of Rem, same as Levi.
Code Geass - Lelouch pretty much convinced me of watching it because of him being so famous for his intelligence.
Durarara - I saw Izaya Orihara's badassery and I started watching the show a little time after.
Hellsing - Alucard. Nothing more to say.
Kuroshitsuji - Sebastian was my main reason to watch the show, but even though he's indeed amazing, the show isn't.
One Punch Man - Saitama.
To Love-ru - Yami, though she didn't end up being my favorite. I ended up preferring Momo, Nana and Mikan.

1. Koi To Producer = Gavin (he is too hot to ignore)
2. One Punch Man = Genos (same reason as above lol)
3. Given = Uenoyama (because he looks similar to my husband Hijikata)
4. Haikyuu = Tsukishima, Kuroo and Oikawa (Before I watched/knowing anything about Haikyuu, these three always left big impression on me).

A silent voice. The design of the MC is so full of character! One look at the thumbnail, and I just had to watch it. I wasn't disappointed; the animation was brilliant and full of character. I did not enjoy the anime itself as much as other people did, but it was worth it for the animation.

Date a live. Kurumi's design was so cool that I had to watch it even if its a harem anime.
Also, Haruhi's design caught my eye I thought she was pretty different from most anime girls and I wasn't disappointed

Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko for Erio Touwa. I like her design with that luscious blue locks. Ended up not liking the show, but still stayed for Erio.

Kaguya-sama: Love is War for Ishigami, I was so curious of why was he the most favorited character here on MAL even though I've always see Kaguya or Chika posts everywhere else. I still don't understand why he is the most popular one, but it was a fun show.

Kannagi for Zange, because I saw my friend using her picture as an avatar. Fun show, ended up liking Nagi though.
