I started watching food wars just to get some photos of anime food so that I can post them on pinterest
(The girls were an added bonus)

It was 5-6 years ago, we used to do a miniscule amount of tomfoolery back then

I'm not sure if it's considered stupid, but I started watching "My Hero Academia" because somebody gave me t-shirts that had characters from the anime on them. I then thought to myself, "Maybe I'll give this show a try," and I did, and it turns out that it's really good. I can't wait for the 6th season.

I'm surprised you like Hero Academia. Not meant in a judging way ofc, but I'm surprised you like it. It doesn't seem to fit your overall taste.


That's true. "Battle shounen" isn't exactly my genre, but "My Hero Academia" turned out to be really good. The pacing isn't too slow, like some of the other long-running battle shounen anime, like Dragon Ball Z, which was too slow paced for me. Slow pacing is fine for drama and romance, but not for action-related stuff, but that's just my opinion.

I've just searched for anime with an R rating and watched them without knowing anything about them. I guess you could call that a stupid reason. It's generally a pretty safe bet though.

I watch a lot of ecchi and hentai; all of them occupy low score on my list as a genre. I watched them only because I felt that I should know everything about the Otaku culture even though I don't really care about participating much in it.

Yep, I'm banking on it. It looks ridiculous enough to be a parody of itself, so yeah.
I don't catch cringe from anime, only from real live performances on stage and things like that.

Then you will have a pretty nice time with it. Some of the attacks are also parodies of other well-known anime so they are actually pretty funny if you get the references.

Damn, now I have to watch all popular ones first to get the references, I hate being out of the loop. Not even joking. Unless it's like battle shounens.

I've considered watching Black Clover before, but I've avoided it, because I heard that the main character has a really annoying voice, lol.

I think the references are all well-known even if you didn't watch that particular anime. All I can say is that you already watched one of those at least.

I've watched anime for plenty of dumb reasons. I watched Gabriel Dropout because I like the girls' hair clips. I watched Love Get Chu because of the OP. There's also countless anime I watched just because they have cute girls, even if everything else about them is pointing to them being trash.

Of course, I could sit here and think up multiple answers to this answer on my own behalf, but I'll just say that - and this isn't stupid per se - someone I know wanted to watch Jojo because they liked Risotto's character design and I didn't know how to tell them that he doesn't show up until the fifth part and even when he does show up, it's not that many times... RIP.

Maybe not "stupid", but part of the reason I decided to watch Black Lagoon was because it had a major Black character, and I wasn't used to that. I probably wouldn't do that now just because there are many Black characters across animanga.

I bought a short OVA called "The Adventures of Kotetsu" on VHS specifically because it was dubbed and released only on VHS in the west. No DVD, Blu-ray, or streaming to speak of.

It was very enjoyable in a cheap 90s import kind of way.

I was trying to watch next episode of Beelzebub, however for some reason Nichijou loaded. May be a website mistake.

It was a good episode so I got into Nichijou from there on and kind of forgot all about Beelzebub. Need to add it to the list btw.
