ITT: Dumbest reasons you've picked up a Manga/Anime
I have watched and read dozens of shows and books just because it had a milf that caught my attention, didn't give two shits about the MC or "Best girl" I picked it up for the fine aged wine.
watched Kokoro Connect to see that one scene in context
This webm was a reason. One scene was all it took.
>tfw tricked into watching a shitty show because it has a nice op
I dropped Umaru but picked it back up so I could participate in memes.
Almost half of these threads were started by me.
i started watching code geass back in 2007 because i liked the doujins
SAO and Mirai Nikki for controversy
Kill Me Baby somewhere after the Agiri crack thing.
Shimoneta for lewd gifs/webms

you... monster...

>because i liked the doujins
Honestly if these didn't happen on a regular basis, 2/3's of /a/ wouldn't be here, you get a pass.
I used to watch any anime if you told me there was at least one sex scene in it. Hell, even if you told me it's literally one implied sex scene that you'll miss if you blink.
Chaika because of the Dark Souls edits and later for the memes.
Watched sailor moon as a kid cause a friend told me in japan they aren't covered in sparkles when they transform.
I kept hoping eventually they editors would miss one episode.
>>140197620
I hate you so much
I watched asterisk war because the ending song was good and I wanted to upset the people that liked it by calling it shit because I really did think that when I watched it.
Picked up Cross Ange because someone called it "Symphogundam" in the threads.I will never give enough thanks to that anon.
>>140198035
I chuckled.
>>140198141
And I picked it up cause of the butt stuff in the first episode.
I only watched Clannad cause Lanced Jack kept posting that GIF of Fuko doing the Thriller dance and I thought it was cute.
Watched Rail Wars simply because Uno Makoto had something to do with it.
Reading a doujinshi of it and finding the art really appealing
>>140199335
I'm actually planning on watching it for that sole reason as well.
>>140197620
So you're the legend that I've been searching for all these years.
Read a Warhammer 40k crossover fic with Fate/Stay Night. It was called Property Damage.
From there, I got into Fate/Stay Night, which was a gateway to anime/manga in general for me.
I'll watch an entire series so I can better appreciate the doujins.I'm sure that pretty common tho
Since the actual game hadn't been translated yet, I watched the shitty adaptation of STARLESS so I could better understand the CG's I...enjoyed.
>>140199846
>Watching and enjoying Starless
Why?
I have an entire backlog based on single screenshots and gifs I see that I like the look of.
I've seen around 30 shows from it and it currently contains 18 more. Interestingly, I've enjoyed the majority of them.
i'll pick a series up if it has traps in it
I read JoJo because I saw the fighting game at AX and figured "why not".

/d/ is more of a home to me than /h/ ever will be.
>>140197290
I'm gonna need some examples of this OP.
I picked up SnK finally after years of ignoring it because of all the Donald Trump memes.
Berserk because on a podcast they said it had a really shitty ending. I was not disappointed.
>/a/ said Aria and Haibane Renmei were good for healing
Glad I listened.
>>140197290
Inoue Battle for that one .webm where the girl freaks out. Wasn't worth it.
I found Nana randomly and watched it on a complete whim. I have mixed feelings but I can't be mad at it.
I watched the blade and soul animu entirely for the boobs on the MC.
I regret it.
>>140197290
I'll watch anything that has a short haired, DFC character.
because of this picture
>>140199767
I can think of a few like that for me too.
Watched Shimoneta because a friend sent me this.
https://0x0.st/PwO.webm
Also this. >>140199767
I watched Madoka because an artist I liked did a bunch of fetish porn of it
Because of this poster. Was expecting the anime to do this image justice. God did I regret it.
I watched SAO so I could shitpost without being called out on not watching it.
I picked up Evangelion becauseI heard that it was made by the same studio that did TTGL.
>>140201034
Thats a good reason
>>140197290
>I didn't give two shits about best girl
>watched it for the milf
This sounds contradictory.
>>140201421
He did uses quotations as in the supposed best girl.
Oftentimes I will pick up a show because of the voice acting cast.
Could be anything, such as
>the cast having many of my favorites
>one of my favorites playing a character that he/she normally wouldn't do
>a veteran actor doing a new role for the first time in a while
>because I just like how they sound
>>140197290
>Picked up the fate series because Prisma Illya had a good dub, I haven't watched it dubbed.
>picked up Sore ga Seiyuu because I had seen everything that Rie Takahashi had been in at that point and it would keep my set complete.
I watched overlord because the MC was a skeleton.
Definitely a bit dissapointed by the end.
>>140201399
I regret that the webm probably won't be finished. It was so good and deserved more.
>>140198233
As did 80% of people who watched it.
