i used to live nearby Hershey and on a good wind day it would blow in the smell of chocolate from the chocolate plant and make the air smell like brownies which was always dope, and then on a bad wind day it would blow in the smell of the other kind of brownies from the farmland nearby. always a gamble

hersheys aint chocolate

i suppose the bigger question, then, is how do y'all end up deciding what to watch? i kind of just shotgun stuff by watching pvs on mal currently and dropping anything that doesn't grab me quickly and also keep an eye out for cool word of mouth stuff i passed on (like mygo). are you actively going "i like this director/staff" and watching their stuff?

idk i just try anything thats in my genre wheelhouse and doesn't look too poorly made. or anything else that looks really original and/or well made.

there are a handful of directors i hold in high regard but they're usually making stuff i would want to try anyway even if it was by an unfamiliar name

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
I'm reading this "reborn as a villainess after dying of like nose cancer so now I can fulfill my dream of being a perfumer while also wearing pretty dresses and going to balls and not bullying anyone" story and what really breaks my suspension of disbelief is how whenever she invents a new perfume and everyone goes through all the cooking manga-esque over the top reactions, she always immediately has a unique custom-made bottle that perfectly matches the theme of the new fragrance. And we never even see her talk to a glassblower or anything.

Need a new (old) series to slowly watch and thus I've picked 2 at random from my backlog.

Do I start:
Hanasakeru Seishounen

Or do I start:
Martian Successor Nadesico

I know a little about both (have seen an ep or 2 of Nadesico over a decade ago) and could be fine with either

i use the opinions of trusted seasonal thread posters for new stuff (or if i see a cool gif). if it's something old i just ask the chat thread about it to determine if it has a 68% on anilist because it's really cool or because it's really bad

in order of weight most to least:
RL friend recs (with good taste)
opinions of real heads here and elsewhere online
adaptation of a manga I like
looks good
an essay made it sound interesting
funny name or blurb
