how do you find new anime?

[DeadFOAM]

Netflix, Tvtropes, and word of mouth. The problem with this is that it makes my "To Watch" list increase faster than I can watch them!

 

[Thetwistedendgame]

I search for a random list, throw a dart into the monitor and pick the anime it lands on.

I tend to discover new anime by watching amvs on youtube. one of my favourites is soul eater, which I would never have found without this video

Combination of amvs, friends, and the escapist threads

Anime World Order
It's my favorite podcast, and their recommendations usually go right along with my personal tastes. They usually only review older anime and manga (3+ years), but it's not like "newer"="better" when it comes to anime.

now a days anything not related to lolis, schools, and cute girls doing cute things might be worth checking out. Basically I don't watch anime anymore

 

[Marik2]

I find videos like this:

And I look them up.

... yeah.

AHAHAHAHHAHA THAT WAS SO OVER THE TOP DRAMATIC XD

And yeah I forgot that as well, some random youtube clip catches my eyes and I tend to watch it because of that.

And heres another deer video

A combination of amv's, recommendations, and whatever I just happen upon. Plus checking new shows each new season and seeing what's good. It's nice to get some weekly running shows mixed with backlogged stuff.

I use realitylapse. For 20$ I have six months to download whatever the hell I want. I just download an episode, preview, and if I like it, download the rest. *Gestures at both 1TB hard-drives* Yeah, I tend to like almost anything.

 

[Delock]

TvTropes (also how I find webcomics and some older games), forum topics, and the fact that my roommate occasionally suffers from anime fever and has a Netflix streaming account linked to his Xbox in the common room.

 

[Mute52]

Netflix and suggestions from friends.

 

[Adam28]

Forums and My Anime List (although I don't use it). I like to stay away from most the community though.

 

[GodofDisaster]

I have several ways of finding new anime to watch.

1.Go onto a legal anime streaming sites (such as funimation) and just pick one at random.

2.Suggestions from friends.

3.Some of the anime dvds I own contain trailers for other animes.

4.I come across the opening theme or other clips by accident on youtube. (I've found most anime using this method, I tend to think, "Hmm that's a pretty catchy opening, I might look into that show.)

It boils down to anime sucks. Read manga.

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

Every season that comes along, I find one of these in one place or another.

I pick six or seven that have interesting descriptions or aesthetics if I can find it on a legal streaming website, and drop the ones I don't like by episode 4.

I go back over ones I didn't pick up if I hear enough good things about it.

It has yet to fail me.

 

[spartan231490]

I troll discussion forums as well as websites that post vids. I google. stuff like that.

Except it doesn't. and manga is harder to multi-task, therefore anime wins.

 

[ModsDeleteThisAccountPlease]

4Chan and TvTropes. All the animu I will ever need.

If you'll excuse me, I have manga to read.

 

[Knusper]

I have a couple of escapist threads on favourite anime bookmarked that I dip into now and again.

 

[Casual Shinji]

I find videos like this:

And I look them up.

... yeah.

That was so freaking hilarious it almost made me want to check out new anime shows.

...Almost.

 

[DarkRyter]

There's a new season every... season. Usually the major blogs have a list sometime before the season begins and I usually pick from that list.

I check blogs, Random Curiosity, Kurogane, Blogsuki, and occasionally Star Crossed and ANN.
