How do you decide which series to watch?

I take all the points noted by Typhoon into consideration, plus the theme (fantasy, romance etc.)

I choose my animes by if they are sequels to something i've already watched, if the plot seems interesting, and the animation/the art.

I think that its best to do some background checking before downloading and watching any Anime.....

I usually read everything about an anime in wikipedia. Then check out some reviews. See if the anime is of, one of my favorite genre. Only then start downloading...

As much as I want to help the Anime Industry by avoiding fan-sub downloads. I am unable to do so, for now at least.

Later on, will surely only buy Anime legitimately...

Usually search for some images to take a look at the character settings, also read the wikis. Then try watch the 1st episode online, sometimes the last one as well. (I don't care much about spoilers or anything, you needn't blue yourself if you wouldn't like it;)

If the graphics are good and I like it. And I also like a good comedy. And interesting sci-fi stuff and especially romantic stuff, im a sucker for em. xD
