I remember another thread like this but I can't find it, anyway...

I'm watching Madoka Magica because some reviewer said it was better than Neon Genesis Evangelion and I had to check. It's pretty good.

You?

I started JoJo just for the memes, but stayed for the storyline.
I actually watched Pokemon from episode 1 of the original anime all the way to Sun & Moon just because I saw some cute fanart of a certain character. (that's about 1000 episodes, 20 movies and 20+ specials/ova's)
I start many shows just because they belong to my favorite genres.

if the standard for "weird/stupid" is as low as a mere comparison in a review, then maybe like a third-to-half of my list

it's "stupid" because I wasn't interested in the anime. There's nothing wrong with comparison.

I watched SAO because a friend of mine was obsessed with it being the best thing human has ever made (and Kirito being objectively the best character ever from his point of view) and I wanted to piss him off with an actually objective opinion and analysis.

I watched Shokugeki no Souma because another friend tried it and his description of the first episode made me laugh a lot. He absolutely hated it and dropped it, so I thought it could be interesting.

I watched Re:Zero as the result of a survey I made with random normies that know nothing about anime.

I watched Mars of Destruction with my sister as a birthday present for her.

I watched Nichijou and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure because of memes.

I watched Monogatari Series because of its characters' designs. I regret nothing.

I watched Gintama because of a random YouTube video showing Gintoki singing the Doraemon OP.

I started Uchuu Senkan Yamamoto because I saw a gif with a blonde who had a great ass.

I ended up dropping it 2 episodes (or was it one and a half?) in though.

Most of what i watch is whatever @Dask tells me to watch. I'm like an unenthusiastic obedient slave that goes with everything.

Cat Shit One is one of them.

Now make it your dumbest reason by watching it because of this post.

for a more on topic reply, probably Shiki
the only thing i knew about it before starting it was a thread about "anime about communism" and this picture http://i.imgur.com/KIJxzfC.jpg
(needless to say for those who seen it, the anime is not about communism)

I found Getsumen To Heiki Mina through the random anime button and it seemed interesting. When I checked the description, I saw that it was a spin-off of the Densha Otoko TV drama. Intrigued, I sat down and watched Densha Otoko, and it quickly became one of my favorite stories of all time across all media (srsly, watch it goddammit).
Afterwards, I watched Mina and even though it wasn't anything special, it still certainly had its charm and the fact that Mina got her anime alone was fuckin awesome.
I'm really happy I decided to watch the two because both shows were truly awesome experiences and I'll never forget them.

...seriously though, watch Densha Otoko. It's amazing.

I watched Binan Koukou Chikyuu Boueibu LOVE! because I loved the song Kaerura Adamasu

But there wasn't this song in the anime, probably in the next seasons, but whatever. I still love the song.

I watched the first two OVAs of Generation of Chaos because Nana Mizuki sings the openings of both of them (and she also voices one of the main characters of the second one). Both were awful, but at least her songs were great, so I don't regret nothing. Heck, I haven't watch the third OVA because she doesn't participate in it. I'm honestly a pathetic weeb.

Too many to list. I have quite a good amount of anime that I watched because it correlated to goals I was trying to achieve for the hell of it

10 TV shows or equivalent length (depending on the year) for each season starting 2010 (less pre-2010 based on the last digit of that year from 2000).
Completing all canon entries of 3 different/unique franchises for each letter of the alphabet and it must be TV length as well.
90% of the top 250 most popular entries watched including all related entries
All entries in the top 50 highest rated watched including all related entries

Thinking of doing 10% watched of studio's works over 100, but there are a few studios that make me not want to commit to this goal.

I watched shippuuden because all my classmates were going on about how good it is. Even without filler I sat through 270 episodes and even though there were some good moments the mediocrity and cliche of it was too much. It wasn't a bad show but there's so many better shows out there that I could've watched instead. Now I don't let irl normies make me watch mediocre battle shonens. Unless it's hxh.

Oh, I have a good one for this. I watched Bible Black when I was 13 because I thought it was Death Note. and before you ask how that makes any sense, I didn't know the name of the show, I just knew that it was about a black book and people dying so yeah.

Uhm... lets see...

-Hanebado!: Because I thought the tomboy girl (Nagisa) playing badminton in the trailer was kinda hot... and she actually is.

-Hibike! Euphonium and DanMachi: For the huge amount of fanarts of Kumiko/Reina (yuri fanarts I must add) and Hestia respectively.

-Himouto! Umaru-chan: Because I'm stupid.

-Kill la Kill: For... the outfits... or the lack of them?

-Konohana Kitan: Because all the main cast were fox girls.

-Mahou Shoujo Site: Because I'm stupid beyond belief.

-Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou: I thought the plot was weird as fuck and I had to check it out... I ended up giving it an 8. I regret absolutely nothing.

-School Days: For its final scenes. Its satisfactory final scenes.

-Shingeki no Kyojin: Initially I thought it was another anime lol. I don't know how but I mistaken the name of the show I firstly wasted to watch with SnK's. Glad I did it tho.
