Anime Question

Do you you usually watch an Anime mostly because, of the art designs or how do you usually choose an Anime before you watch it?

I always go by art designs most of the time and then I'll go for the plot depending on how well the art looks to me.

The plot first usually. There are rare amounts of time that I watch an anime for its art.

If an anime is popular I'll watch it, but I mostly watch anime for the plot. If the plot isn't good, I won't watch it.

I watch an anime for the story and characters. Thats how I got interested in Gregory Horror Show. And I choose an anime due to how popular it is. I usually see what's the next best thing. I also ask my friends what anime they watch to see what kind they like

I'm all over the place when it comes to why I watch certain anime, it just depends on my mood at the time.

Sometimes I'm in the mood just to seek out a specific genre, sometimes I look for very pretty animations, sometimes I try whatever is popular at the time, sometimes I only want to watch a 12 ep max anime, and sometimes I just browse recommended anime for me on my anime-planet account and go for one that has a good plot :)

Clearly, I don't have a solid answer as to why I watch anime x3

You're like me. I jump around as to why I watch what I watch. There's no really solid answer for me either. Variety

Usually when I hear a really good opening & soundtrack I look at the anime and its plot!

Primarily the anime series's summary/storyline and genre as well as (of course) its art/animation style and design :)

Everything is important to me. Usually the plot is more important than the art, but sometimes there are shows that I just can't take the art, even though the plot seems interesting.
(an example being nna. the backgrounds look gorgeous. the plot is interesting. the characters... oh my god i cant handle that art at all im sorry ill never watch it)

Actually, I am one of those people that looks up the anime first on google images; I can usually tell if I will like it or not. I know I shouldn't judge a book by its cover but if the art gets on my nerves or it looks perverted I usually know I won't enjoy it. Then I wikipedia it for the plot and that has to be interesting and then I bookmark it and add it to my ever growing list.

But it should be noted, just because something is pretty doesn't make it good. Some of the best plot anime I've ever seen are "unattractive." But art does have a lot to do with how I end up liking the anime overall. I can really appreciate the time put into making it.

How I choose anime from that never-ending list depends. I go on rotations it seems on anime. I'll watch really popular ones then I'll make a point of watching a series I've never heard of. Then I'll watch ones that have tons of characters, then I'll watch one with only a few characters (gives my brain a break remembering names haha). Then I'll watch a new one with bright pretty designs, then I'll watch an older anime. And then there's genres... ha I should stop before I rant anymore.

Sorry for long (prob boring) answer. Good question though! It's interesting to read everyone's to see how much art makes a difference and why people pick what they watch. Pic just represents some of the different art styles I've seen.

For me I pretty much always go by plot of the series,I almost always look up the anime and see a little of what it's about just to get an idea of what to expect,although there have been a couple times where I've wanted to see an anime series just based on the art itself..but it's very rare for me to do that.

If I see a picture of it and I think it looks cool then yeah I might look it up and read a description, but if it doesn't sound good I'm still not going to watch it. On the other hand if I find an anime who's plot sounds interesting, but the art style is to distracting I also won't watch it.

I can never say for sure why I watch an anime, it changes all the time. Some, like Kara no Kyoukai, I chose to watch because I loved the art (Shiki's Mystics Eye of Death Perception, specifically). Some, like Serial Experiments Lain, I discovered at random and watched on a whim. Others, like Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, I gave a chance because they're popular. And then there are those that I watched because they seemed underrated, some I watched because the plot seemed interesting,etc.

It varies from anime to anime.
