Name an anime which conned you in to watching it.

I made it through half, HALF an episode of Fire Force. I saw a clip from a fight scene online and I thought looked and sounded amazing, and then I found out way later that it was done by David Productions, so that was an automatic greenlight for me. The characters were basic obnoxious anime bullshit, the dub was aggressively mid and the sub wasn't much better, and I just full stopped when the main character did that stupid "Oh I smile whenever I get nervous" garbage with the stupid 90* angle edgy shark teeth. IT WAS SO UNBELIEVABLY FUCKING LAME and I felt genuine second hand embarrassment at that last part.

What's conned?

Tricked you into watching.

it was like the creators did not know how to end the show

iirc, Anno admitted that from the start... So that is not a surprise. Then you have the gainax scheduling crunches behind the scenes... People say they ran out of money, but they had plenty, just scheduling was a nightmare and they ran out of hours, again iirc? They had plenty of money, but not enough time. I think that is what gives eva a lot of its charm, makes it feel different and that is something you can't recreate.

If you watch texhnolyze, i recommend paring this with Lain, but you may need more patience for that one.

I said I was a huge Abe fan. Haibane Renmei is probably my favorite anime of all time and Lain is close behind. idk, I should probably give technolyze another try, I just remember being bored for whatever reason.

What's conned?

Pretending something is more then it is, to get a person to invest ever time or money. Like a scam?

I have another one which may not be as well known, but when i had little money for pleasures, so once a month i would buy some anime.

I was convinced to invest in it. Makyo Shinjo, i thought the anime looked cool with all the power and battles being shown, like it was some kind of Fist of the North star contender.

The cover had a dude in a white torn t-shirt with an explosion behind him. My dumb ass at that age thought it looked cool...

The story:
"humans are being forced to evolve, in this crumbling world, one man who has lost his memory awakes in hospital after a car accident, only be attacked by forces beyond his comprehension, will he survive?"

Each episode he beat up the challenge in front of him and absorbed the looser powers. It was a paint by numbers mess with no idea on how to tell a story..

After watching it i felt robbed and wanted to return the VHS, i was told no refunds, and had to gripe over that filed investment for a month till i got paid.

I have been looking to find pictures of the POS OVA, but i cannot, as it seems to be lost media at this point. Which is for the best..

nearly everything i watch these days is with at least one friend present so there's usually some amount of decision process and checking ahead on what we may pick up. one fairly harmless and funny misdirection though was watching Kageki Shoujo, a theatre school anime, because it kept coming up under related series while we were watching Rose of Versialles. i did enjoy it enough but it was kinda silly it only cropped up because the main character really wanted to play Oscar some day and then... never gets to for where the anime leaves off.

something i did watch on my own volition that wound up astoundingly Okay was Sacred Seven, which i purely came across because its opening theme had a big name artist of FictionJunction on it, then finding the show itself was a Sunrise production of all things. naturally it got its planned episodes cut in half in favour of the usual Sunrise affair airing simultaneously so the end result was forgettable at worst. still love the OP though

You like them for the Plot?

Nah, I'm just in it for the cast.

OHHHH you're the cute snake guy, just realized! Something that has conned me into watching it was the Ace Attorney anime, probably. I mean, it's Ace Attorney, of course I'd have watched it!

However, not only the animation was ASSSSSSS but also the pacing was trying to hard to be exactly like the game and it wasn't fitting. It would have been its own thing and it could have been better, although I don't exactly have any better ideas so not having an anime at all would be better.
