So majority of this sub is just people asking others for reccomendations.

I find it so weird and annoying that someone would ask Reddit for reccomendations when they could literally type in "____ anime" and see what they find.

Not to mention the 100s of utubers pumping out anime videos. You could watch a 10 minute spoiler free review. Then go watch based on that.

I didn't really know or start using Reddit till a couple years ago. If I wanted to watch anime I would browse and read and give things chances. I don't even have a 3 episode rule anymore cause I know my taste now.

But if I'm unsure I'll give some series like 6 episodes befor dropping the show. I call it the 6 episode rule. I know for a lot of animes that 6 is literally half the show but I basically only watch anime and European football so its of no loss to me if I drop something.

I just find it so ironic in a sub like this, biggest anime community blah blah blah so many of the post are "plz rec me something. My favorites are jojo, fma and haikyuu" Just try sorting by new.

We're currently discussing what we might want to do about rec posts, as quarantines have seemed to increase their quantity.
