| For me it was Shingeki No Kyojin and Fate, both of which I didn't get into until this year, idk how I missed out on what should have been a huge part of my adolescence but oh well, better late than never. |
 |
| Seikon no Qwaser, because I took the first sentence too seriously from the description and thought it would be dark as fuck. But literally every anime I watch. I often pick based on screenshots, but people keep missing the little sexy things and don't take screenshots of those. |
 |
| Gintama is the only anime that made me feel this way. |
  |
| Pandora Hearts.I had it for like 5 months on hold and when I watched the next episode I ended up watching all of it at once |
 |
| none of them, i watch all anime at precisely when intended ! |
 |
| HunterxHunter. I wasn't sure becaaluse it looked cheesy and childish. Oh boy. How was I wrong. It became my fav shonen. |
| One piece.I wish I would have watched it earlier so I would have had less episodes to catch up to,but here I am already 500 episodes in.It´s a fun anime,if didn´t like it I wouldn´t have watched so many episdoes tbh. |
 |
| Legend of the Galactic Heroes was sitting there waiting for many years |
 |
| For me it's Code Geass, because I don't really like the mecha element... |
| Naruto + Shippuuden. Mainly due to the fact that there are over 700 episodes, idk why I didn't start maybe a few months ago instead of a few weeks ago (half way through Shippuuden already). I would think to say the same thing about Hunter x Hunter (2011), but I'll eventually get to it once I've finished a couple of series and finished the 1999 version. By the looks of it, it could well be my next new addition to my favorites. |
| Gintama, I wanted to watch it by years but the episodic format discouraged me many times. |
 |
| Steins;Gate. Has to be Steins;Gate one hundred and ten percent. Had it sitting there for months thinking "this show looks kinda whacky idk". Biggest blunder of my life. |
| For me it's Babylon, it seemed boring since it was about law, but boy was I wrong. It made me think about the morality of the laws and the impact it will have |
 |
| For me was Gosick. Such an amazing anime |
 |
| Gintama. Should have seen it while it aired. Only started watching it after it took #1 spot in MAL from Clannad AS back in 2010 out of pure disgust yet ended up adoring it much more than anything. Once I caught up, I saw all the seasons week-in week-out as they came out. Some of the best experiences I have had in more than 25 years of watching anime came from this masterpiece. Watching Gintama made me laugh harder than I laughed watching Nichijou. Watching it made me cry more than I cried for Clannad After Story. Watching it made me love the characters more than I would ever imagine. Fun feelings, warm feelings, happy feelings, sad feelings, experiencing shock and tranquility, love and hatred, passion and disgust - all the feelings in one package. A powerful story telling of arguably one the best cast of characters, if not, the best in anime. Gintama is an experience I am never gonna forget. It really makes me think "Why didn’t I start watching this sooner?!" Embracing myself to see the final installment! Readying myself to relive all the feels all over again when I watch the Right Eye in animated form. And all this after 700 chapters, when one would think this could never have a powerful ending. :') |

| Mmm Steins;Gate I watched it last year and now is my #1 anime of all time ;) |
 |
| Aikatsu. A good friend of mine was a huge fan of it but he had no one to talk about it with. |
| I wonder if I watched Guilty Crown when I was younger maybe I would have liked it more. |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| Senki Zesshou Symphogear I thought it was so stupid looking. Wow, that was huge mistake. |
| Houseki no Kuni and Yuru Camp. I skipped both of them seasonally and they ended up being 2 of the best series of their respective years. |
| Mine is the Monogatari series. It's so different to every other anime I've ever seen. I've only seen the first 5 series, I'm trying to ration myself and watch the next chapter or series every few months. I want to savour the experience. |

Pisces05 said: Haikyuu. I thought sports anime is always unrealistic so i assumed haikyuu is the same. Its now on my top 3 and its the one that leads me to the path of Yaoi. I love it. That's another one for me also, I'd never seen a sports anime before it & when I saw Haikyuu I thought what the hell have I been missing. I can't wait for the new series to begin airing. |

| Chihayafuru. When I was first getting into anime, I saw the first 4 episodes my freshman year of college at an event from the anime club and loved them and planned to watch the series for ages. But it always got shunted down the priority list because it's a comparatively unknown series and I had so many classics to catch up on. But when season 3 was announced, I finally took the time to watch it and regretted not having done so earlier. It's become one of those series I try to convince anyone to watch because it is just fantastic. |
| You have shit taste, and then I have taste so shit it makes your taste look good |
| AOT - two years ago this Xmas. I kept looking at the box set in HMV but kept putting it down again because I didn't like the weird face (Bertolt's transformation state) on the back cover LOL. Also, for some crazy reason I thought it was set on Jupiter's moon Titan (it's actually Saturn's largest moon) and it was in the Mecha genre - which I wasn't so interested in at the time. After the first few episodes I knew I made the right decision in buying it though! |

| 3-Gatsu, Space Brothers and the first season of Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinju. 3-Gatsu has been out and I'd been constantly looking forward to watching it but felt intimidated by how critically acclaimed it was and the mention of an infuriating bullying arc. Space Brothers kind of interested me but not too much, yet when I actually started it damn was it great. Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinju is still pretty recent so I'm not sure it counts, but I'd still been sitting on this show for a while |

| Fate/Zero Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood |

| Fate franchise Monogatari series Jojo Psycho-pass Oregairu I like these anime a lot. I've heard a lot about it for many years but I started watching them so late... Edit: How could I forget about Haikyuu? lol |
 Life is a despicable endurance race |
| I stalled on watching A Silent Voice for waaaaayyyyy too long, thinking it was over-hyped because everyone said it was better than Your Name, and now it's my favorite movie of all time. |
| professional women respecter |
| I would have to say Jojo's Bizarre Adventure because it came on while I was taking a break from anime and I didn't start watching it until I saw the English dub on Toonami. Although Part 1 started off kinda slow, things started to pick up in Part 2 and now I just started watching Part 5. Hunter X Hunter was another anime I didn't watch until I saw the English dub and that's what got me to watching anime again. |

| The world is not beautiful. Therefore, it is. |
| K-on!, love live, idolmaster series. These aren't my genre and the curiosity caught me in. |
 |
| FMAB I mean I finished it a few weeks ago, and I have it on the "to watch" list for about 10 years...even if it´s not the best shonen I have seen, it is at least top3, and the writing is flawless from around 75% of the series. |
| It would be Monogatari Series and Anohana, both of which I finished this season. |
 |
| For me it was all the older "masterpieces" from the 90's I had avoided for years. Trigun, Outlaw Star, NGE, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop, and Berserk (I had already seen Rurouni Kenshin) With those it was more of a "might as well see what all the fuss is about" than a "why didn't I watch this sooner". I'll admit I did really enjoy Berserk and Ghost in the Shell though. |
| Code Geass. By then end of the first episode I was wondering why it hadn't been in my life beforehand. Then I remembered that it was and currently is on exactly 0 legal streaming platforms in the UK (was on netflix for a while but got removed). |
| If you're reading this and you haven't watched Mob Psycho 100, go watch it and then continue with what you were doing. Also, for the record, JoJo is great, it's fans are not. |

Nine-TailedJosh said: I feel I didn't enjoy Guilty Crown when I watched it, but I have wondered for a while now whether I was too old to really get into it and get my heart hooked on it, like, falling in love with Inori, or having Shu's experiences resonate with me more, or something like that.GlennMagusHarvey said: How does this pertain to the topic? Did you click on the wrong forum? I'm confused.I wonder if I watched Guilty Crown when I was younger maybe I would have liked it more. I mean, the show has some very nice music and visuals, so I kinda want to get more out of it than I did. So, hence, "Why didn't I start watching this sooner?". |
