it's usually when i come to the forums and find a profile that seems to scream "i'm not a seasonal anime watcher"

edit: like this guy bellow me. i just clicked on his profile and there's fucking Zettai shounen on his favorites. how many people you know like Zettai Shounen?

I'm more of a manga list checker than anime list ones. If they're my friend here on MAL then surely I'll take a peek.

> If they are looking for recommendation, so I want to see what they like and try to fit my recommendation to that

> If they mentioned series that I didn't know or hear much about. Usually it's manga though, not anime since there are way more manga that are unknown to me than anime. To look for more series to watch/read.

It could be various reasons. Sometimes they may have opinions about certain anime and I like to see how those opinions are reflected in their scores. And other times I try to see if they have similar taste in anime as me.

I dont actually. It is impossible to wade through hundreds or thousands of titles. I only see their profile and favourites . If they write their favourite series in their profile, there is a chance I might read about it.

Iā€™m usually only curious to check someoneā€™s list if I think the person consistently makes incredibly intelligent and insightful comments on things. Iā€™ll also sometimes check out the lists from MAL friends as well.

Also, if I find someone to be very pompous, I might unfortunately want to check his/her list too.

I just look up their list to point out their hypocrisy cuz I have nothing better to do :P
Other than that, I don't care about other people's taste.

Off topic but where did your forum set came from? Looks familiar.

I tend to look more at profiles rather than lists, then faves, like I literally have to be really curious to check out your list

Well if they got a nice forum set, then I'll check their profile to see if they have a nice profile. If they got a nice profile, I'll check out their list to see if it has a nice design. And then sometimes I check to see if they are an elitist or not.

When they shit on my reviews. This is more true on AL, people said I have L taste so I got so mad I had to look at their list to see what kind of anime they enjoy to feel more superior to their subpar taste, because at the end of the day, I know everything. I am the smartest person in the universe.

When I like someone's profile picture, or find someone interesting, I might check out that person's anime list! Or should I look to find out if someone like me has a taste !?

Same. Over 95% of my posts are recommendations so the math would indicate I've looked at well over 5k possibly 6k profiles & their owner's lists. Of course that's after 7 years now. Seen some really cool profiles along the way :)

I'm in search of people that have given Clannad After Story a 10. They are most likely nice people to talk to.
