Ask the above user why they originally watched one anime on their list.

hmmm good question, I don't really know myself lol.

it was probably either a gif of Hifumi Takimoto or a clip of her on YouTube

Came for the booba

Stayed for the surprisingly compelling lore, lovable characters, kickass fight scenes, and KILLER OST

I wanted to watch an anime on a plane and I chose Squid Girl

Christine Marie Cabanos also did the protagonist in dub and that also piqued my interest

It became one of my fav animes

This is a good choice.
So, I'm not a fan of harems, and I enjoy indulging in isekais despite the typical tropes in them. I was curious about the reverse premise with someone coming from an isekai back to modern day and trying to readjust.
This show does that and more. It's actually more refreshing than I thought it'd be.

I watched it because, the day prior, I binged all 12 episodes of school days. I wanted to go "aww that's cute." after previously going "Itou Makoto I want you suffer, more and more and more and more." What I'm trying to say is it kept me sane lmao

A few of my friends are huge stars fans and wanted to watch this one night just to see what it was like and brought me along with them. Mainly for the one directed by Trigger cus at that time I had basically only seen Trigger anime lol.

One day in search for SoL Anime, I ended up on a Quora page with this exact photo below, in someone's post, saying that this is their 76th favorite Anime.

While I initially had doubts because this pic, is too detailed to see in Anime. While either way, I gave it a try after reading the synopsis.

this is in the first 25 anime I've watched, i think i watched this because of glass reflection's review on it

@Sobann, what made you want to watch I Want to Eat Your Pancreas?

i watched it when i was a toddler with my older siblings

I didn't get monogatari one, what do you mean?

Haha, I just googled short anime series in 2016 or 2017 and this one came up, so I watched it nothing grand ik

had watched
Kubikiri Cycle Aoiro Savant to Zaregotozukai
on a recommendation, knew monogatari was held in high esteem, same author and studio, just ended up feeling like it

lmao you got that right

...the more genuine answer is that it was one of the first anime that I watched and at the time I was going purely off of recommendations from my cousin

I honestly don't remember why I watched it in the first place, I was probably just looking for more comedy anime at the time.

As to why I like it, well, comedy is ultimately subjective and I found the show hilarious and the characters endearing/entertaining. Although realistically if the characters in the show were real people I'd definitely think they're all massive pieces of shit and or extremely creepy lmao but that's what makes the show funny I suppose.

i saw a batch for school days, decided to grab it bc of low file size

i ended up watching it while farming fate/grand order

you ended up witnessing my demise T_T LOL

edit: sent twice

Hmm..... I was quite curious about this one. An anime about skateboarding wasn't done before, and I thought it seemed quite interesting given a few clips that I saw about it.

When I saw it, it was definitely worth the watch. I recommend it.

Funny enough though, I'm not too big on skating in real life.

Im a bit of a daft punk fan and decided to watch the music video one day

I was adding animes to my seasonal watching list and got curious about the plot and also found the aesthetic pretty

Welp I was searching for top music anime... and found it on top of the list... so I thought why not? and watched it

title and front cover seemed pretty interesting so i tried it out!

had this on my sights since it was announced, that's it

I watched it mainly because it's something ABe worked on and he quickly became someone who's work I fell in love with after I watched Lain (Konaka too but he didn't have a hand in this show).

As for why it's special, it's kinda hard to explain as Haibane's a show best watched as blind as possible imo. For me personally the reason I liked it so much is because it's almost the antithesis to the types of shows I usually watch. It has a lot of similar themes and ideas but it's presented in a much different manner. Compared to shows like Evangelion or Texhnolyze where it almost felt like they were trying to beat you down with how dark and depressing it could get, Haibane takes subject matter like that and presents it in a way that's almost... therapeutic you could say. On top of that it has a very cool and interesting world and lovable cast even if it's clear who the main focus of the plot is.

I didn't really mean to turn that into a review of the show but idk man I loved Haibane so much after I finished it, it's so different from almost everything else I've watched so far and somehow that makes it more special to me.

No specific reason really, I watched it just like the other seasonals i watched that season.

it looked cool and there are a lot of WAIFUS
waifu and anime girls = I WILL WATCH

Honestly I don't remember why I watched it but it was already very popular at the time. So maybe because of that and the somewhat unique palette looked cool.

I would say it's worth checking out but it's not a work that will please everyone. I like it but I don't consider myself a huge fan of the first season. So it might take a little persistence to be sure if it's for you or not.

Because it is a harem but presented in a masochistic way, it can scare both those who like and those who don't like this type of thing. But as far as I've seen it's not important to the plot.

one of the first anime i watched and to this day it's a very solid romcom that pretty much does nothing wrong and is very enjoyable

i wanted to start watchign as many seasonals as i can
stopped cuz 86 was boring and in general i cba for anime, doesn't give the same kick it used to

A meme on discord, I thought it was about a bunny girl but oh boy was I wrong
