I've done worse than that and watched Minami-ke season 4 before the first season. I didn't even notice until I had almost finished the entire thing. I blame the anime for re-introducing every character at the start and making it look like the start of a series.

Yep, for some reason I watched Tsugu Tsugumomo before the actual Tsugumomo. They shouldve just named it Tsugumomo S2 honestly

Not S2 before S1 but a similar thing happened. If I remember correctly, I was about to start Chihayafuru S2. I thought I was watching episode 1 when a few seconds to a minute later I realised it was the last episode. Oh shoot, what a big spoiler.

- NOT your usual shounen anime
- Pure comedy? DEAD WRONG
- Treat Gintama as SoL/weekly sitcom especially earlier seasons
- Ep 1 & 2 are for manga readers
- BIG patience for its 'slow' start

I watched the first 12 episodes of the first season of Fruits Basket and I pressed for episode 13 or something and I accidentally watched the last 13 episodes of Fruits Basket Season 2 and when it said end of season 2 I was like wtf

No, i'm pretty sure i never did that, i always check so this doesn't happen.

I always find it weird when i see the second, third, fourth season etc. of an anime in someone's list but not the first and/or previous one(s)....smh. -_-

When I was new anime fans, I watched Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Gou (Season 3) without watching the prequel (Season 1 & Season 2) first. As for the others, I purposely watch anime (only season 2) for various reasons.

Nah never tbh. I mean seriously how do you just start watching a sequel without watching the prequel? I mean for me it would totally feel off ngl

It never happened accidentally but I watched sequels of anime before watching the prequel by choice. What bothers me more is when I watch an episode thinking it's a new one and I realize 10 minutes later I already watched the episode. Thanks to MAL it rarely happens but sometimes it happens when I forget to update the episodes.

i don't know if this counts but, with higurashi: when they cry on netflix, i didn't know that the earlier version was actually more of a continuation rather than a remake of the old higurashi.
And something else happened similar to that, it's with tonikaku market, i accidentally watched the movie before the series.

Not sure if this counts, but I watched Magi: Sinbad no Bouken (TV) before watching Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic.

It's labeled as a prequel here on MAL despite being aired after the latter. It's also pretty much incomplete, leaving a huge story gap between these 2 shows.

Excluding shows like Pokémon, where it doesn't matter if you start with S1 or not,
FLCL progressive before the OG. Then I figured I should probably watch the OG before alternative, so I did that. If anything, it reduced my enjoyement of the OG. This wasn't accidental, though...
Yu-Gi-Oh! DM before Season 0, didn't know it existed.
So, nothing huge.

For manga though, I started Berserk half way through the prequel chapters. When I caught up, I figured I might have missed something, and went back to read the first few chapters.
Might be one of the reasons I don't care about it; I didn't actually understand more than the surface level.

There's been a few times i watched the second season, thinking it was the first. Like with Gatchaman Crowds, i bought the dvd and know it was Insight, the sequel. So i added the first season to my mal until i caught the mistake.

I forgot the name, but there was a series on Youtube i watched that wasn't marked properly and it was actually a sequel.

Most of the time though, it's if i buy the dvd and don't pay attention.
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

It is a prequel, but fate/stay night came out first, so you are technically supposed to watch it first. Fate/zero wasn't created as a starting point.

lol, this happened to me pretty recently. i watch stuff on netflix when i can and i was getting caught up with teasing master takagi san, but i realized when i was over halfway thru that i was watching season 2 instead of season 1. luckily it doesn't matter with that show as much since it's pretty episodic, but i basically put it on hold until i watched all of season 1 before i continued with s2 on netflix.

It doesn't really matter to me what you want to watch first, just wanted to point out a common mistake people make :)

I watched the whole 2nd Season of Bakuman. (because all seasons are listed as "Bakuman."). I thought it was pretty interesting how the show started at half the journey and didn't need to set up all of its characters, a bold choice I said because it worked for me and made me think the authors just had the most trust in their story to do it that way. It turns out I was watching the 2nd Season... And I would again, it's the best one imo. It helped me get through season 1 which had some moments I didn't like that much, the main romance isn't perfect to say the least.

Yes, I watched S3 of Saiki K thinking it was S1.

It was kinda weird that some random characters appeared without a presentation but I though it was just lazy writting or something, I didn´t notice I skipped 2 seasons till I was in ep 6.
