While we are on the topic, that was how I do things with manga. With anime, its a different story. First thing I do when a new anime is released online is to check the summary. Usually more than 10 anime are released simultaneously so I check the summary for all of them. If one seems interesting, then I watch the first episode. If the first episode fails to gain my appreciation then I decide not to watch it.

However, I may regret this sometimes. In fact it happened yesterday. Sometimes out of curiosity I just check the latest episode of an anime and to my surprise its actually pretty good. Then I have to go back and watch all the episodes prior to it and then go and read the manga versions or light novel versions. So you see, my method is not without flaws. I may miss out on some very good series, but at least I gained admiration with a few of them.

However I'll admit one thing. When it comes to perverted series, then I don't watch at all, I simply skim through by clicking through the video time. Sometimes, the series is actually good, albeit perverted, so I watch it anyway since its a good story but I don't really "watch"-it-watch-it since its too embarrassing and wrong. This is where the extremely well written series come in, they are indeed perverted but luckily you can figure out exactly where to click on the video to get a normal scene. In other words, the series isn't devoted to showing fanservice and other things at every second.

In other words, for me, choosing anime to watch is a very complicated process full of errors. And since i'm gonna start schooling again, the no. of anime I can watch will greatly decrease.

And I'll add one more thing, the opening song. If the opening song is amazing, then I immediately get mesmerized. I have a weak spot for anime openings.
