| Mine is watching Higurashi GOU, without the regards of watching the OG seasons. After 16 episodes of mindlessly watching GOU, I came to the 'too late' realization and it cost me my immersion to the story and the show's mystery & worldbuilding. We all have one or several instances of making a mistake in our anime experience. Things you look back to and say "yep I regret doing that thing, dear anime jesus never again". So what was your regrets/mistakes in your anime experience? |

| Watching Fate/Zero before the other fates. Now now, I know it is a subjective matter, as to whether you should start with Fate/Zero or /staynight, but I felt that watching F/Z ruined the main routes. Not only was it the best Fate, but also because there was a lot to take in from the very beginning. Starting with the og F/SN or UBW would've been like watching everything from Shirou's pov which imo would be much better than nosediving into a Game of Thrones-esque drama. |

| Watching Gintama for over 50 eps straight, hoping it would get better over time. Watching Corpse Party Tortured Souls, believing it to be a scary horror anime only to discover that was an utter disappointment. |
| Best ending line in anime history = "My name is Saiki Kusuo. I am a psychic." |
| watching end of evangelion without locking the door first. get on my level. |

| Watching Shokugeki no Soma without headphones |
| I'd say I mainly have three mistakes that come to my mind: Watching Gintama (2015) back when it was airing while not knowing any seasons before it. Though that quickly changed when I binge Gintama when it was airing and that was the best time of my life. Not paying attention when I'm binging Steins;Gate when I first watch it back in 2013 since I had a lot of anime that I want to watch back then. So I didn't fully understand wtf is happening. But when I heard there was a VN for S;G back when I was addicted with VN's, I immediately jump to the VN and was mind-blowned. So I rewatched the anime and it instantly became one of my favorites. And lastly, actually dropping Suzumiya Haruhi because it was pretty boring. I picked it up again back in 2015 when I finished watching Gintama since I need more Gintama. Why? Since Kyon is Gintoki (VA joke lol). And that was one of the best thing I did since I was introduced to one of my favorite movies, Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu. After that, I told myself to never drop any anime anymore. |
 I wasted all my time in rewatching to the point of my rewatch total is higher than my overall anime total lmao |
| Watching One Piece too fast. At that time i was too focused to just catch up with the anime, so i watch around 20~25 episodes daily. Which resulted how i barely remember any side characters names... |

| watching bleach on youtube, episodes were cut into 3 parts and the screen was smaller, but what could I do? the internet was shit in my college dorm and I only watched bleach on my tube tv at home, I was curious about hueco mundo so I had to watch it like that. I repaired my mistake now for I rewatched bleach in 1080 on my flat tv, great experience |
    |
| Watching all of endless eights like something was gonna happen *insert Mike Wazowski meme* but after watching all of it I got the feeling of success that the time loop stopped so I don't regret that too much. Also watching perfect blue recently without knowing there was gonna be a whole rape scene but I did have complete privacy so that didn't matter too much *heh* |
| searching the name of anime i was bout to watch on google , and it fucking showed up the questions like, 'How does the main character dies?' i mean wtf , i just now know that the mc dies |

I was too lazy to sit down and watch on TV or laptop, just want to get a lay down on the bed. Was confused why people keep talking about the animation on episode 19, and turned out i was just dumb and can't really see the animation. Unfortunately, I also experienced this situation. I know I am obligated to watch it on HD, but thanks to the sluggish Internet, I never got to see the sakuga cum of THAT episode. |

| Watching Haruhi suzumiya movie without even knowing that there was a series before it. The first 15 minutes were ok and then suddenly they start talking about espers and time travellers. I literally sat through 3 hours of the movie hoping - "Now I will understand what's going on" and the movie ended and I didn't understand a fuckin' thing ... Rewatched the movie recently after watching the series and it's one of the best things I watched till date... |

| Watching anime on sites like [REDACTED] etc. when there's [REDACTED]. I cannot watch anime anymore unless it's 1080p Blu-ray versions. |

| One time I told myself "I'm gonna watch all of Gundam", and then I did. |
| I watched the first 9 episodes of Steins;Gate Zero before watching Steins;Gate, thinking that it was a remake/reboot instead of the interquel it actually was. I was very confused, and once I looked up the Steins;Gate watch order, I immediately jumped to Steins;Gate the OG. I plan to rewatch it in the correct order in 2022 though. |

| Staying close-minded about genres without trying them. When I first started in like 2009 or so, I largely only watched serious and "cool" shows. Things that edgy little me thought were acceptable. (Monster, Death Note, Texhnolyze, Rainbow, Darker Than Black, that sort of thing). Don't get me wrong, those are great shows that I still love, but I was very close minded when it came to things like romance, slice of life, sports, comedy, drama, shoujo, shounen, basically anything that wasn't "dark" enough. I thought those genres were all terrible, but never actually gave them a try. As soon as I started opening up to more genres and styles, I found that there's a ton more to enjoy, and now the genres I used to call garbage are among my favorites. Edit - I also watched the first episode of season 2 of Chaika before watching season 1. Made a big mistake on Crunchyroll and thought S2 episode 1 was S1 episode 1. Needless to say, I was VERY confused. |

So back then, I don't think it mattered as to what way you should start. But now that two HF movies are out and the plot point is revealed, it's safe to keep F/Z (the best) for the last. |

I recommend recommending the VN since its God Tier story will keep you from thinking that Shirou has "plot-armor" since every choice you make is pretty important, whether it will lead to bad ends or the main route ending.

| I would say watching Full Metal Alchemist before Brotherhood. But what can I say, I never knew it was off the original story but still enjoyed it anyway. But still, I have a hard time watching brotherhood since its basically the same everything with changes in the story. Besides FMA came first and so FMAB came later and I was off anime at that point. I am confused how I would be able to watch it well. But I'll see, I gelt like watching it anyways... |

| This is why you must autistically know the chronology of every anime you watch before watching them like I do. Just know that the Monogatari series begins with Doukutsu Monogatari, and THEN Ore Monogatari. Morons will tell you otherwise. I really feel like I have a reputation here of complaining about Violet Evergarden whenever I get the chance. Biggest waste of time. @LucidDreamsED LOL look at my currently watching and on-hold. I thought my watching and on-hold were small until I looked at your post. |

| Forcing myself through ReZero S1 was pretty painful. I kept thinking there has to be a reason people like this show so much but I cant stand Subaru it was one of my worst anime experiences getting through it all. I can normally watch a 2 cour season in one day. ReZero took me several week tog et through. I feel stupid for forcing myself now but at the time I kept thinking it would get better how could it be rated so high if it stays this stupid....etc |

After 16 episodes of mindlessly watching GOU, I came to the 'too late' realization and it cost me my immersion to the story and the show's mystery & worldbuilding. I blame the marketing and even the creator claiming that newcomers could start Higurashi with Gou. As a long time Higurashi fan, that is absolutely absurd. Gou is good BECAUSE of the previous seasons and the familiarity with the characters, setting and plot. The marketing of Higurashi Gou was so badly mishandled it actually makes me kinda mad knowing that it could potentially ruin the Higurashi experience for so many newcomers. I have no idea what Ryukishi07 was thinking. Gou should have just been marketed as a continuation from the start... |
