I watched Blend S because of that damn opening song meme (Didn't everyone watch it because of that though?) and I actually ended up enjoying it despite the fact that the blonde guy was basically a pedophile lol.

I also watched Karneval because I saw a picture of Gareki and I thought that he was hella hot (which he is, goddamn).
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me.

I watched (...) To ship two characters that I've seen shipped online:
- haikyuu
- durarara
- code geass

To see girls make out:
All yuris on my list.

Because someone told me to watch it as a joke:
- Boku no Pico

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.
Jesus fuck that's hilarious. How long did it take you to realize you were watching the wrong thing?


Longer than I would like to admit tbh. I watched 5 episodes in 1 day before I asked my friend why he omitted all the sex that they had in the show. The guy bursed out laughing and informed me that there's no way I was watching the right thing(technically I suppose I didn't realise by myself). Anyway he gave me a torrent of the actual show(don't judge this was 9 years ago and official sources weren't a thing yet) and we both got a funny story out of it.

I watched all of Milk Junkies so I could write a 2000 word blog post talking about it.

It turned out to be better than any essay I've ever written.

The Toaru Index series just to see why people like it. I still don't understand why people like the animated series and will continue to be dumbfounded and frustrated on how Touma wins his battles. Not to mention the lazy and stupid "misfortune" trait that allows him to have girls fall heads over heels for him (a bit of a exaggeration) *cough* Itsuwa *cough*

Though I dislike the Toaru series with a burning passion, it's the first anime to make my blood boil so I'm still going to watch the upcoming 3rd season.

I have to be honest, I watched the Madoka Magica anime because a saw a meme of lesbian mahou shoujos and since I had no clue about what MM was really about... I saw MM then and wow. Such a plotwist.
In all honesty, I ve seen a shitton of animes because of memes about them, including Jojos bizarre adventure.

I watch dementia anime and weird stuff because it's weird. Sometimes i just randomize by using random anime script and that way I founded some really good series.

I watched Trinity Seven because I was watching a Cristiano Ronaldo motivational video and it kind of got to me, Cr7.
Okay, this is definitely one of the most stupid reason but I assure the second of such instance in my library is more to the normal weirdness kind.

I started watching Dragon Maid expecting a romantic relationship to develop. Boy was that a mistake.

Also if something is bizarre, violent, sleazy and has a terrible English dub, I want to see it. Anything cyberpunk is a good bet.

Uma Musume because I had to know how a horse-girl would look like.

But once I knew that in the first episode, I dropped it.

Aho Girl I suppose. Someone told me it cracked them up. I like slapstick comedy, pratfalls and falls so it was pretty good although I thought sadistic in places.

I watched K-On! because at the time I was obsessed with moe (I still am btw) and I saw the Moe Moe Kyun! on yt... it was love at first sight.

I watched Denki-gai no Honya-san because I saw some screen with a serious and detailed discussion about panties done by a girl, and that was enough to watch it instantly.

I watched Doujin Work because I thought it was an hentai, but I still loved it for the comedy.

I watched Simoun, Kashimashi, Shoujo Sect, Maria-sama ga Miteru and Mai-Hime because of an amv.

I watched Watamote because of the Molly amv from TheBestAmvsofAllTimes.

I watched Madoka Magica because I was pissed that everyone thought it was better than Nanoha, but they were right.

That's all that comes to my mind ATM, but there's a lot more.

I watched omamori himari and then nyan koi with my sister. This was her idea, because their plots revolve around cats, and she likes cats.
Afterwords we watched elfen lied together, because the main character's horns looked like cat ears.

This was where we both 'started' watching anime and also pretty much where she stopped.

tl;dr my sister got me into anime because she likes cats.
