how do you find new anime?

[Ashendarei]

Anime News Network. Any time I hear about a new series I check up on it there for a basemark of genre and votes.

100% word of mouth. My friends suggest things, I give them a try. So far only 1 over the past decade has held my attention from start to finish.

Boo ya. ************.

I rarely hear about anime through word of mouth or post of text. I frequent sites with many animes on them line animeseason.com or animefreak.tv or crunchyroll.com or anime44.com and if I see something on the front page the interests me, then I check it out. Many of those sites also have advanced search options. Animeseason.com has a filter to select what genres you want to show up and only anime that fit into those categories show up. I rarely get into an anime by seeing it as an AMV. That's only happen to me with soul eater. (The amv was Soul Eater Kid Power btw if you wanna search it up). Sometimes going down the anime list a name might intrigue me and I'll check it out.

Tvtropes. I always go through examples of tropes I like and if I see one name enough then I check it out. Or I just go through the list of shows on Hulu and Crunchyroll.

Same here with TV Tropes. It is such a useful website for finding shows with specific themes, even if it does waste hours of my time if I'm not careful. Plus, TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife].

I see if the next season has anything interesting in it:

If something catches my eye, I take a look at the first episode, other than that, amvs, and other peoples recommendations.

I find all Anime to be complete shit in my opinion, that's how I 'find' it HAH!

This, and Anime-Planet. I think about the sort of things I want to watch, and I'm prepared to experiment a bit and try something completely random. I can thank my curiousity too, for there are alot of shows I watched after liking the AMVs on youtube.

I wrote a new topic in response to this:

It boils down to anime sucks. Read manga.

-shakes head- That's a silly generalisation. There are plenty of good anime still being produced today, despite the rise of Moe and Harem shows.

AMV hell and just AMV,s also if it,s mech related I just stumble on it.

 

[AngryMongoose]

Right now I listen to the in jokes the peeps at my Unis Anime Society make and then look them up.

I find videos like this:

And I look them up.

... yeah.

Nichijou; pure. fucking. brilliance.

Currently watching while playing a drinking game. Every time something happens that makes no sense: you drink.

Alternatively; every time a title card comes up with no relation to the plot: you drink. That way you get to survive to a second episode.

Pretty much how i've discovered every anime that I like.

Full Metal Alchemist
Trigun
Claymore
Bleach
Ghost in the FREAKING shell
to name only a few

I typically review sereis my self and keep up with anime news networks seasonal preview chart. The question is what type of series do you want to see?? There is more than one genre in anime, you have your shoujo "girl type shows with romance" shonen "your action shows like bleach", drama, slice of life, comedy, horror etc.
