Either you saw random clips of it on YT and decided to check it out or it was featured in one of those clip compilation videos of funny/random moments.

We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by

Oh, I remember! This video brought me to Sankarea anime because its interesting thumbnail also made me curious lol.



By the way, I didn’t watch it, just looking for the source.

Sure, I’m glad I've watched the anime.

How not to summon a demon lord. This is the only time I watched a show because of a clip and it ended up being one of the most mid series I've ever seen.

If you wish to treat this incident as our nation’s scheme, that is fine by me. History is written by the victors. All of your false accusations will soon be erased.

I watched Monogatari because I randomly saw this video

If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Perhaps, this is hell.

There are many but those who come to mind are: Grand Blue, Saiki K, Barakamon and Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-Kun.

There are many, but coming to my mind, there are Ueno-san, Senko-san, and Tsurezure Children.

I mean assuming you watched what I think you watched, did you really expect something with that kind of scenes to be a good anime?


My biggest regret: Reading all 200+ chapters of Kanojo, Okarishimasu

See that's the thing it probably wasn't what you think it was. The scene I actually saw a fight scene. That being said I still shouldn't have expected anything good from that scene lol.

The main reason I got into Yu-Gi-Oh! was the funny dub clips on YouTube and the memes, I made my own clip YouTube channel for this reason.
Same goes for Touhou Project as well.

The only clip channel that actually ever pops up for me is the official Crunchyroll one, but I do sometimes see short clip of something pretty in the background of an anituber talking video, or as part of an AMV and if it's interesting/funny and cool-looking, I watch it.

A few off the top of my head:
Sabikui Bisco, Heaven's Design Team, Kyoukai no Kanata, K, Darling in the Franxx, Dr. Stone, Hetalia, Ousama Ranking, Food Wars, Tamako Love Story,...

Shout out to the Khornime youtube channel. It doesn't upload anymore, but while it still had videos it was the channel that "taught" me anime. I probably watched a couple shows because Khornime showed clips of it, but what I really remember it for was making me able to recognize an anime just based on a clip. I probably wouldn't have a general knowledge of anime as large as I do now if it weren't for that channel.

Edit: It also probably kickstarted my phase I had for a while of trying to find the name of every anime and manga I came across. I don't do that now days, but there are some shows and manga I now know of that I've honestly never heard anyone mention, and I probably wouldn't know them if I didn't go through that phase.

I think I watched some of the more meh ones based on yt recommendations. The first 3 where somewhat interesting, but I thought deadman's was really mediocre. None of these really got me into anime this year.

I've watched a few anime by clips on Youtube (Aho Girl, Chuunibyou, Majo no Tabitabi, Machikado Mazoku).

I've also watched anime just by having seen a meme, but my I think my peak is to have seen a random character's picture, search for it with the reverse image search engine, get its name from there and watch it.

Not from YouTube originally, but a major thing that led me to seeing RahXephon years ago was seeing this AMV.

Approximately 70% of anime I watch from my PTWL is purely from a random clip. I think clips give a good insight of what kind of anime they are. But of course I check the comments first to see if that anime has a good reception (then add it to PTWL even if people don't praise it)

clips of some shit naruto fmv back in like 2002.
Naruto had only aired about 50 episodes at that time. Before shippuden. Before Boruto.
Somewhere in the chunin exams me thinks


actually come to think of it, after watching that AMV it first led me to watching Cowboy Bebop and the first 25 episodes of bleach using the ancient technology of burnt CDs.
But then online streaming was sorta becoming a new thing a that time in the sketchy parts of the internet for anime and i found naruto with some fan dubs of varying quality.

I hated anime clips as I found them to be pretty annoying. So I don't think I ever watch some anime because of that.

When I first got into anime again (right after discovering MAL) I unironically watched a lot of Watchmojo.com videos since they were the first thing I thought of that had clips of different anime.

It got me into FMA:B, Devilman Crybaby, and Btooom though, so I'm not complaining.

I actually got into Dragonball Z via Toonami promos that I found on YouTube as well as seeing adverts for it on Cartoon Network and the rest was history. Though me saying that, it has happened fairly recently but I can't remember what it was for. Otherwise I haven't done much of that.
