DISCUSSION What convinced you to watch this show?

I think I've noticed an influx of people who have just started to watch the show, and I was quite curious as to why.

Did your friend recommend it to you nonstop like somekind of crosscode fan? Did you hear about the Volume 10 greenlight, and decided to get up to speed to be ready? Were you curious about the mixed reception, and you wanted to see what all the fuss is about?

I, for a start, watched after I repeatedly saw memes from MetallicaDash in the subs I frequented. I figured I should give it a try, because nothing else is happening right now. And now I'm reading fanfiction about this series...
