Are there any anime/games that you initially picked up solely because of the r34 of the characters? If so, how did it turn out?

I first watched Gurren Lagann purely because of Yoko, and it ended up becoming one of my all-time favorites.

I saw loliconder's senran kagura art when I was younger and from that moment on I knew I was a tits man without a shadow of a doubt. I don't even like tits smaller than them

I was a Nintendo kid growing up, so I didn't play Final Fantasy VII until I was 20.

Tifa's tifas definitely played a role in that.

There were gachas I tried because I wanted to see what the characters that I was seeing around were like in context. I don't tend to get into R34 of characters that I'm not familiar with, so I get familiar.

I gave it up though, because gacha games often have awful gameplay and it's intentionally difficult to collect characters. Popular 3D games with gacha pulling are not immune to this issue, and have become one of the most popular ways for companies to try to seize your wallet by creating systems to crank out characters meant to be popular and making very appealing advertisements for them.

way too fucking many

any that you thought were actually good after?

What about the opposite:

Are there any shows/games that you don't watch/play, but still collect rule34 of the characters?

Kubo may be a hack writer, but he draws some top-class girls.

I watched Princess Lover because I liked how the princess looked in the hentai. It turned out to be a really great anime and the hentai adaptation does not do the characters justice, especially the MC, but that's what happens when you turn him until an eyeless generic self insert.

I didn't watch Gurren Lagann because of rule 34, I watched it because of When I'm Bored.

Apparently this is so old now that searching "When I'm Bored" on Youtube no longer brings it up as the first result, even if you add Gurren Lagann to the search does it not appear. Thankfully it still shows up on Google.

No, the closest ones for me were Bleach and Naruto and only in the sense that I read wiki articles so doujins would make more sense.

I guess I picked up Nagatoro because of 774's doujins. I thought it was alright, but he definitely couldn't reign in his exhibitionism fetish.

Dead or Alive definitely fits that for me. Never played any of the games, probably never will. Honoka, Kasumi, and Ayame have squeezed gallons of semen from me.

Bayonetta and SiN Episodes Emergence. And I also started watching Ghost in The Shell SAC thanks to it.
>>
All the time, most recent in memory is probably playing Dispatch because of some Invisigal pictures I saw.

I'm pretty sure I have but don't remember on top of my head. Whenever I get hooked on an artist's r34 I tend to look at their other works and if it's amazing but for another r34 then I would likely browse that IP for artist discovery. I never watched evangalion or whatever but it sure as hell has some damn good porn that I like and I have discovered other artists through that. maybe I'll pick the anime up sometime

There are some anime that literally everyone should watch.. or at least attempt to watch. Evangelion is definitely one of them, as well as things like Cowboy Bebop and HunterXHunter etc.

>I first watched Gurren Lagann purely because of Yoko, and it ended up becoming one of my all-time favorites. Oddly enough, I don't look at very much r34 of it anymore now that I like it so much, which if kind of the opposite from many of the other things I've seen, where I seek out r34 more after watching it.
Lol Holy shit, literally me. It is my favorite and I got into it because of a yoko thread on here over a decade ago.

It's hard for me to get into something just because of the porn though

I have many r34 collections for series I've never played/watch, some of which I never intend to.

I didn't start watching it just because of r34 but I'm pretty sure I first heard of Godannar because of this Shizuru figure.

I know jackshit about Idolmaster but Jabara Tornado's art is top-tier.

A ton.
But many times, after reading or watching the source material, all I can see is how badly they got the characterization and art style wrong—and it completely kills my enthusiasm.

I gain context but loose the sweet ignorance of pure consumption

Why did he stop drawing comics?

Don't know but he started making them again a little over a year ago.

Fire Emblem. I saw there were 20-30 cute girls per game from the fanart and got into it.

I had the opposite experience funny enough. I didn't find FE girls hot until after I already got into the series. I remembered seeing Lyn on the cover of Nintendo Power as a kid and thinking nothing of it, then when I actually played her game I wanted to fuck her silly.

And that's why this site's culture has fallen to shit. We used to shame people for being posers. Failure to gatekeep properly has seen the decline of countless media.

We never cared. It was always a meme. Only you fell for it.

I saw Dizzy's underboob, immediately pirated the PC version of Guilty Gear Reload and fell in love. Shame about what the series was bastardized into later on.

The most popular and successful it's ever been?
