14 | * ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'': My father had read the first book or two and told me it would be too dark and too violent for me. (I am, admittedly, kind of a wimp about these things.) But I kept seeing tropes from the series and the situations and quotes were awesome and I finally read them and loved them. Can't wait for the next. |

181 | * And VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy. ([[NintendoHard Still haven't beaten The Guy yet]]!) |
182 | * Also several {{Webcomics}} most recently Webcomic/BrawlInTheFamily. |
183 | |
184 | [[AC:@/{{Malefix}}]] |
185 | I got here from the VideoGame/SuperSmashBros [[http://super-smash-bros.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Wiki]]. The [[http://super-smash-bros.wikia.com/wiki/Star_KO Star KO]] page had a link to ATwinkleInTheSky. I got gatewayed to: |
186 | * Webcomic/ElGoonishShive - MrExposition |
187 | * VideoGame/{{Eversion}} - DarthWiki/DarthWiki |
188 | * VideoGame/YouHaveToBurnTheRope - ItsEasySoItSucks |
189 | |
190 | [[AC:[[Tropers/MathsAngelicVersion Maths ~Angelic Version~]]]] |
191 | * ''VideoGame/AiToYuukiToKashiWaMochi'': I found it on FromBadToWorse.VideoGames back when the trope was still named "It Got Worse". I don't really like it when [[MoodWhiplash happy stuff becomes tragic]], but I was for some reason attracted to the game anyway. I downloaded and tried it, but it was frustratingly NintendoHard. Several years later, I found out that there was an app port. I bought it for some reason. I guess I really wanted to like the game. After some practice, I now find the app pretty enjoyable. |
192 | * ''VideoGame/NewerSuperMarioBrosWii'': I was looking at the ThatOneLevel.SuperMarioBros page when I noticed this title on the list of fan games. It sounded interesting, so I clicked the link. When I read that the game was a hack of the Wii game, I became somewhat sceptical[[note]]Of course, this was expected. I was just hoping my expectation was wrong.[[/note]] However, when I watched the game trailer and fell in love with the beautiful worlds, I decided to try it out anyway. I completed the game and think I even enjoyed it more than the original ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii''. ''Newer'' became my gateway to ''CTGP Revolution'', a ''VideoGame/MarioKart UsefulNotes/{{Wii}}'' hack with many custom tracks. |
193 | * ''WebVideo/ThirdRateGamer'': I've never had any strong opinions on ''WebVideo/TheIrateGamer'', but I enjoy reading the pages about it anyway. On YMMV.TheIrateGamer, I found a link to the page about ''Third Rate Gamer''. I'm not that familiar with the Irate Gamer's videos, but apparently familiar enough to find ''Third Rate Gamer'' hilarious. |
194 | * ''WebComic/ScandinaviaAndTheWorld'': I think I was aware of it before, but after finding the example on PassThePopcorn on TV Tropes and finding more funny stuff on the TV Tropes pages, I started reading it. I like the art style and the humour. The fact that I'm Scandinavian probably helps too. |
195 | * ''Literature/MaradoniaSaga'': I was reading the So Bad It's Horrible Literature subpage[[note]]I know it shouldn't be linked to on the main wiki, but I hope I can get away with mentioning it[[/note]] and found it funny that this series had a page. I haven't read the books (except for some awful excerpts), but I enjoy sporkings ({{MST}}s). |
196 | * ''Blog/ThingsMrWelchIsNoLongerAllowedToDoInAnRPG'': I found a reference to it on {{Antidisestablishmentarianism}} and clicked it. I haven't read the whole list and don't even get all the jokes because I don't play any RPG, but most of the jokes I get are very funny. |
197 | * ''Webcomic/SquareRootOfMinusGarfield'': I actually enjoy ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' unironically and was reading YMMV.{{Garfield}} when I found a link to this... thing. I don't mean that in a bad way. Many of the strips are pretty creative and funny. |
198 | * Creator/RichardHarris's song "[=MacArthur Park=]". I found it on Narm.{{Music}} and checked it out for the {{Narm}}. It turned out that I found the Narm tolerable even when I paid attention to the lyrics, and the song itself is beautiful. |
199 | * The Music/{{Tristania}} song "My Lost Lenore". I found it on Narm.{{Music}} and only listened to it because I saw the word "thy" in the lyrics and wanted to look for YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe. I didn't find any, but at least I found a cool song. |
200 | * The Music/WeirdAlYankovic song "Grapefruit Juice". Tropers/AlBundyFan365 listed Weird Al as one of their favourite artists and mentioned four Weird Al songs. I liked the other three, so I decided to give "Grapefruit Juice" a chance. I liked it too. By the way, I found Tropers/AlBundyFan365's contributor page because they posted "the miscellany section you have here is great. I've used a few examples on my own page. Thank you for your help." on Tropers/BonsaiForest's [[TroperWall/BonsaiForest Troper Wall]]. I knew about Bonsai Forest because he commented on my VideoGame/NewerSuperMarioBrosWii review. |
201 | * ''VideoGame/ThyDungeonman'': Found on YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe. |
202 | * Text adventures in general because of ''Thy Dungeonman''. |
203 | * ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' because of ''Thy Dungeonman''. |
204 | * ''[[VideoGame/SegaSuperstars Sonic & All-Stars Racing: Transformed]]'': I think I remember playing a tutorial or something, not liking it and forgetting about this game. Then I found someone gushing about a course on the [[YMMV/SegaSuperstars YMMV page]]. I thought it actually sounded pretty cool and decided to give the game a second chance. I do not regret it. Even though I'm unfamiliar with almost all of the frachises that appear in the game, I can still enjoy the beautiful and fun courses. |
205 | * There are also some works I want to check out because of TV Tropes: |
206 | ** ''Literature/HowNotToWriteANovel'': I want it for the entertainment only. I don't think I'll ever write a novel. |
207 | ** ''Manga/StrawberryMarshmallow'': Because of Tropers/ANinjaWithAIDS's entry on this very page. |
208 | ** ''Manga/LuckyStar'': Because it was mentioned on the ''Strawberry Marshmallow'' page. |

234 | * My list of WebComics is too long to be duplicated here, see my contributor page if interested. |
235 | * I discovered ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' here. |
236 | * I never thought I'd be interested by anything related to ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'', especially not tie-in material. Then I read here about Literature/CiaphasCain, '''[[FakeUltimateHero HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!]]'''. |
237 | ** Which also led to my subsequent acquisition of the ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar'' complete pack.[[note]]Well, that, and there were 50% off[[/note]]. |
238 | ** And my later acquisition of the tabletop game itself in early 2010. |
239 | * Video games like ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Iji}}''. |
240 | * I discovered ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' here. |

243 | [[AC: @/MeikyuButterfly]] |
244 | I just wanted to look up the lyrics to the latin chanting in [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII "One Winged Angel"]]. Google came up with the page on OminousLatinChanting. I laughed my guts out when I read it and decided that this is the best website ever. |

291 | [[AC: @/MercuryPenny1]] |
292 | As surprising as it may be, given the very few pages for [[Game Mods]], I actually found out the entirety of ROM hacking here. Other content I discovered here includes: |
293 | * FanFic/HalfLifeFullLifeConsequences |
294 | * VideoGame/ASuperMarioWorldCentralProduction |
295 | |
296 | [[AC: Tropers/MikuruFan]] |

304 | * WebVideo/JennyNicholson (her video on ''Opposite Worlds'' was linked on Horrible.GameShow) |
305 | * ''WebVideo/TheMysteriousMrEnter'' (Oddly, because I confused him with Creator/MoBrosStudios, who had made a video on [=SpongeBob=] that I enjoyed, so I ended up watching one of Enter's videos instead. This led to me getting into the VideoReviewShow genre as a whole.) |
306 | * Advertising/CompareTheMeerkat (Ever bingewatch advertisements from across the pond?) |
307 | |
308 | [[AC: @/MillenniumJim]] |

323 | * ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' |
324 | |
325 | [[AC: @/Miyukimae123]] |
326 | * I found several freeware games like ''VideoGame/StarStealingPrince'', ''VideoGame/AlterAILA'' and ''VideoGame/AoOni'' through here. |
327 | * VideoGame/TalesSeries - I played Legendia once, then I decided to look it up here. Best decision ever. |
328 | * Music/{{Vocaloid}} - I've heard about it a few times, but I mostly avoided it because I hated Miku's voice. It was only when I got here that I found out that there were other less-squeaky sounding vocaloids. |
329 | |
330 | [[AC: @/{{mkmlp}}]] |
331 | * AbridgedSeries in general, but specifically: |

334 | ** ''WebVideo/UltraFastPony'' |
335 | ** ''WebVideo/MyLittlePonyTheMentallyAdvancedSeries'' |
336 | ** ''WebVideo/ScootertrixTheAbridged'' |
337 | * ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'' and the other works of ''Creator/JamesRolfe''. I had gotten into ''The Nostalgia Critic'' independently of this site and was looking through the various pages regarding him on here and The Angry Video Game Nerd kept coming up, so I checked him out and discovered one of my favorite internet personalities of all time and the man behind him. |
338 | * The ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}. |
339 | * ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'' which by extension helped me get more into comic books. |
340 | * ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' |
341 | * ''WebVideo/BadMovieBeatdown''. |
342 | * ''Franchise/DoctorWho'': How ''dare'' you introduce me to a series I have [[ArchivePanic no hope of completing in this lifetime]] TV Tropes!!! |
343 | * ''Franchise/{{Fallout}}'' |
344 | ** ''WebVideo/CouriersMindRiseOfNewVegas'' |
345 | ** ''FanFic/FalloutEquestria'' |
346 | * ''Series/GameOfThrones'' and the [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire book series]] that inspired it, which by extension helped me delve deeper into literature in general than I would have probably gone before. |
347 | * ''WebComic/GirlGenius''. Also, web comics in general. |
348 | * ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'' |
349 | * The works of ''Creator/BobChipman''/''Movie Bob''. |
350 | * ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' and by extension, ''many'' fanfics like the ''FanFic/PonyPOVSeries'' and web videos based on the series. And [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends the]] [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTales other]] [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyG3 generations]] to a lesser extent. Before I started reading TV Tropes, I was largely indifferent towards this franchise. I'd heard about what a surprise sensation ''Friendship Is Magic'' sensation it became, but I never bothered to look into it. But after I kept seeing the series come up everywhere on this wiki, it became interested (I specifically remember reading something about pony punching out something called a changeling somewhere) and when it happened to be on one day, I decided what the heck, watched it, and became hooked and with the very expansive list of fan works on this sight, found a seemingly endless array of content related to the show. |

356 | * ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'' |

358 | * ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' |
359 | * Several anime, pretty much renewed my interest in Japanese animation after ''Creator/{{Toonami}}'' went under ([[YouBastard damn you]], ''Creator/CartoonNetwork''!) |

361 | [[AC: MrBadAxe]] |
362 | * Series/BabylonFive |
363 | * The Franchise/StargateVerse - This actually helped me for a class I was taking. I had to write a paper for a class entitled Radiation and Life, about a radiation-related topic. I chose to analyze the ''SG-1'' episode "Meridian", specifically how realistic the depiction of Daniel's radiation sickness was. They seem to have ShownTheirWork. My paper got a 94. |

372 | Website/TvTropes got me into everything. Yes ''everything''. Before, I had no particular interests outside of a general love of cinema. A friend of mine showed me the site, I started looking up my favorite movies, and after a long WikiWalk later, I was hooked. Through [=TvTropes=], I got into Anime, Comics, numerous cult movies, Video Games outside of ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'', a lot of old cartoons I watched as a kid, and many original fan works from around the internet. Yes, [=TvTropes=] made me into the Geek I am today, and I wouldn't have it any other way. |

393 | I originally came here when I was looking up story ideas for an RPG I wanted to make. Since then, I've decided to stay and scrap the RPG for a web novel (Unfortunately, [[JustForFun/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife I tend to stay on this site too often to work on it]] or by the time I have ideas I get Writer's Block). I know I'm missing a few, but these are just some examples of what the site helped me get into or at least had a hand in helping me get into. |
394 | * ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'', along with... |
395 | * ''Podcast/RiffTrax''. |
396 | * ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}''. [[SarcasmMode Thanks a lot]] [[InvertedTrope for this one]]... |
397 | * ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'' and ''Website/ChannelAwesome'' as well as, by association, ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'' and ''WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment''. (Seeing the "final" battle on [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd Cinemassacre]] didn't have me very interested, Creator/TeamFourStar's addition got me a little curious, [[DisasterDominoes then I started going here and...]]) |
398 | * ''Manga/OnePiece''. Lost touch in mid 2008, helped me get back into it a year later. |
399 | * ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}''/''VideoGame/MetroidPrime''. At least partially. |
400 | * Reinforced my curiosity of ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' (I was not disappointed) and, eventually, ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}''. |
401 | * ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', I think. If not, it helped a lot. |
402 | * ''Anime/{{Monster}}''. After several months of curiosity. |
403 | * ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' |
404 | * ''Literature/{{Slayers}}'' |
405 | * ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'': Was '''exactly''' [[JustForFun/MadeOfWin as awesome as the site made it sound]]. |
406 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'', which was helped by my then-recent interest in ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead''. |
407 | * ''Anime/GhostStories'', while looking for a GagDub similar to like ''Manga/CrayonShinChan'' or ''Manga/SgtFrog''. |
408 | * ''Series/{{Firefly}}''. Finally got me with this one. |
409 | * ''Manga/BlackLagoon'', partially. I was considering it for a few years until I saw it available on a streaming site and caved in. |
410 | * ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent''. That damn comic is in almost every trope I go. |

595 | I learned about the site itself while searching something about Literature/ATaleEtchedInBloodAndHardBlackPencil, but didn't fall down the rabbit hole. My StartOfDarkness was when I saw on a comment the term FridgeHorror and decided to search it. The List: |
596 | * The following {{Anime}} from GainaxEnding. Yes, [[Film/ApocalypseNow I love the smell of]] MindScrew [[Film/ApocalypseNow in the morning]]: |
597 | ** ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': Do not visit the page BrokenSmile, before watching the series (spoiler-heavy reference picture). |
598 | ** ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' |
599 | ** ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' |
600 | * ''Anime/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' from the DerangedAnimation page. |
601 | * ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy'' while searching NintendoHard |
602 | * ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' from the meme [[MemeticMutation "Nanomachines, son!"]].Currently, I watch walkthroughs of the games in chronological order. |
603 | |
604 | [[AC:@/{{Nightelf37}}]] |
605 | * ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' Would never have taken interest in it without TV Tropes. |
606 | * WebComics in general. |
607 | |
608 | [[AC:Tropers/{{Ninja2634}}]] |
609 | * ''WebVideo/MarbleHornets'': I avoided it because I'm a massive coward but now me and my girlfriend watch it all the time. |
610 | * ''XKCD'': Totally hilarious. |
611 | |
612 | [[AC:@/{{aNinjaWithAIDS}}]] |
613 | * I would like to thank this site for introducing me to these shows, several of which are very obscure. Also, I am always looking for more SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic; so shows whose soundtracks I love enough to own will be marked with an asterisk(*) |
614 | |
615 | |
616 | * ''Anime/AnoHanaTheFlowerWeSawThatDay'': This one is very similar to Creator/KeyVisualArts' big three (shown below) in that it's a huge TearJerker and has a [[MagicRealism light touch with the supernatural]], but it's more about coping with a loved one's death along with repairing friendships, so expect SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments that hit just as hard. |
617 | * ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'': I have seen this show as of this post, but I had stopped watching it a long while ago. It was very difficult for me to maintain my interest in it, especially among the more unique shows below. |
618 | * ''Anime/CorrectorYui''*: This show is essentially ''Anime/SailorMoon'' [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]] ''Film/TheMatrix''. Why it [[NoExportForYou never made it to the United States' shores]] is beyond me, assuming a good reason exists at all. |
619 | * ''Anime/DogDays'': Who knew [[MilitaryAndWarfareTropes warfare]] would look so [[{{Moe}} adorable]], [[LighterAndSofter lighthearted]], [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome awesome]], and badass [[NobodyCanDie without having anybody die]]? |
620 | * ''Manga/DokiDokiSchoolHours'': Chaming series this one. The SenseiChan was [[{{Moe}} freaking adorable]]! Then, there's the WackyHomeroom itself...to summarize it here would invite a FlatWhat. It's weirder than ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'', but not as much as ''Anime/PaniPoniDash'' below. |
621 | * ''Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero''*: I didn't watch it for its [[ClicheStorm overly predictable plot]]. I watched it for its RomanticComedy. It's SoOkayItsAverage in my opinion. |
622 | * ''Manga/HidamariSketch'': [[LittleNo No]], my [[MemeticMutation nutbladder]] couldn't handle this show either. |
623 | * What I like to call Creator/KeyVisualArts' big three which are ''VisualNovel/{{Kanon}}''*, ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}''*, and ''VisualNovel/{{Air}}''*. [[TearJerker I]] [[{{Utsuge}} cried.]] |
624 | * ''Anime/{{Kamichu}}''*: "[[PhysicalGod God]][[LittleMissAlmighty hood]] done [[RealPlaceBackground realisticly]] and [[AGodIAmNot sensibly]]" is the best way I can describe this show. It's one of the [[SugarWiki/NeedsMoreLove barely known]] [[EnsembleDarkhorse greats]] of [[{{Iyashikei}} its genre]]. It's definitely one for [[SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel the whole family to watch in the evening]]. |
625 | * ''Manga/KamichamaKarin'': This is a very different MagicalGirlWarrior show. It starts off with a few huge TearJerker moments, but after the first three episodes, it quickly throws in SugarWiki/FunnyMoments to make up for it along with a [[JigsawPuzzlePlot rather unusual plot]]. |
626 | * ''Manga/KOn'': [[{{Moe}} Cute girls doing cute things]]. That's all this show is; but it's still rather enjoyable, especially when [[SixthRanger Azusa]] joins in. |
627 | * ''Anime/ALittleSnowFairySugar''*: I found this thanks to the Moe Stare page image. This SugarWiki/NeedsMoreLove oh so much. |
628 | * ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'': Now [[PunctuatedForEmphasis THIS]] is a true classic, and more literal, take on the MagicalGirlWarrior concept. If ''Manga/SailorMoon'' had not come, then this show would have certainly [[TropeCodifier codified]] the archetype. |
629 | * ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha''* : I feel this is a truly great GatewaySeries to get into both the [[MagicalGirl genre]] and the [[{{Anime}} medium itself]] |
630 | * ''Manga/{{Mahoraba}}''*: This seriously SugarWiki/NeedsMoreLove. It is just as hilarious, if not more so, than ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' (both of which were made by the [[Creator/JCStaff same studio.]]) |
631 | * ''Anime/MyHime'' and ''Anime/MyOtome'': Action, romance, [[HoYay Les Yay]], [[DarkerAndEdgier dark]] and [[JigsawPuzzlePlot epicly twisted plots]]? Yes please! |
632 | * ''Manga/ManabiStraight''*: This is among most unique and captivating SliceOfLife shows out there. It's a definite must-see for fans of the genre. |
633 | * ''Manga/{{Nichijou}}'': I like to view this as {{Anime}}'s version of ''Film/TheThreeStooges''. |
634 | * ''Literature/HarukaNogizakasSecret''*: This is a beautifully realistic and respectful portral of the {{Otaku}} sub-culture. The RomanticComedy aspect is also done very well. |
635 | * ''Anime/PaniPoniDash'': This show literally drove me insane just by watching it. It's pretty much Japan's answer to ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' except the former [[QuirkyWork must have had plenty of crack and acid passed around]] its [[Creator/StudioShaft production team]]. |
636 | * ''Manga/PitaTen'': Hoo boy! Another one from Creator/KogeDonbo. This show (at least the AnimatedAdaptation) is just lung-breakingly hilarious! |
637 | * ''Manga/{{Pretear}}'': Although I didn't like this show as much as other shows in its [[MagicalGirl genre]]. I personally think it's more of a sloppy [[HaremGenre harem show]] than anything else, even for its [[{{Shoujo}} intended demographic]]. |
638 | * The ''Anime/PrettyCure'' franchise. [[SincerityMode It was quite the effort]] [[ArchiveBinge to watch this in very rapid sucession]]. My current favorite series from this CashCowFranchise are ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure'', ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar'', ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5'', ''Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure''*, ''Anime/SuitePrettyCure''*, ''Anime/SmilePrettyCure''*, and ''Anime/DokiDokiPrecure''. |
639 | * ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''*: This show scared me, a 22 year old man (now 23), into reminding himself what [[NightmareFuel fear and horror truly meant]]. The last thing that induced this feeling onto me was fighting [[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 Giygas']] [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm true form]] for the first time at 16 years old. |
640 | * ''Anime/{{Redline}}''*: Whoever posted this example on the SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome page has my grandest of appreciation. This ''is'' '''the''' ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' of the Racing Genre. |
641 | * ''Anime/SasamiMagicalGirlsClub'': This was a pretty neat take on the [[MagicalGirl genre]] and its [[CuteWitch sub-genre]]. It's more about self-discovery and learning about both worlds as well as the magic that brings the characters together. SliceOfLife fans should also be interested in watching this show for this reason. |
642 | * ''Literature/ScrappedPrincess'': Judging from the title, you may think this show is [[GirlShowGhetto perfect for little girls]], right? [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForLittleGirls Wrong]]! Just take a [[ApocalypseMaiden glimpse]] [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt of]] [[SternChase its]] [[WhiteAndGreyMorality premise]]. Oh, and there's a good bit of NightmareFuel to be found here too. |
643 | * ''Manga/SquidGirl'': Squids? in something that isn't a {{Hentai}}, but rather a SliceOfLife? Yes, It works; and it's [[RuleOfFunny hilarious]] [[VerbalTic de]] [[MemeticMutation geso]]. |
644 | * ''Literature/{{Slayers}}'': This show boils down to an AffectionateParody of ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''. There, go watch it...like, '''now'''! |
645 | * ''Manga/SomedaysDreamers''*: This is another show about a MagicalGirl, [[DullSurprise yay]]..., but it's a [[AnAesop thought-provoking]] and deeply emotional story in [[TearJerker more ways]] [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments than one]]. It's very similar to ''VisualNovel/{{Air}}'' and ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'' in this regard. |
646 | * ''Anime/SpaceBattleshipYamato'': '''The''' classic gold standard for ''any'' animated SpaceOpera. Many of today's takes of the genre owe much to this show. |
647 | * Manga/StrawberryMarshmallow: This is pretty much the derpiest SliceOfLife show out there, not counting ''Manga/LuckyStar'' and ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' of course. |
648 | * ''Anime/{{Symphogear}}'': [[DiscoTech Sing]] while fighting to the beat of [[AutobotsRockOut rocking]] [[ThemeMusicPowerUp power-up music]] until the [[ZergRush many]] [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]] all die? '''''[[BigYes OH HELL YES]]!''''' |
649 | |
650 | [[AC: @/NNLand]] |

667 | Here's the important ones: |
668 | |
669 | * ''Franchise/YoKaiWatch'' - What led me to the site to begin with. |
670 | * ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'' - The first long-term fixation I had that I found through this site. |
671 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans'' - The first work for which I edited (it was the character sheet). |
672 | * ''Animation/NoonboryAndTheSuper7'' - The first work for whom I created a subpage that actually stuck (the YMMV page). |
673 | * ''WesternAnimation/TrueAndTheRainbowKingdom'' - The first work I created the main page for. |
674 | |
675 | [[AC: @/NotSoBadassLongcoat]]\ |
676 | In my case, it's more about LiveActionTV and video games. |

705 | A friend from a big German Anime/Manga-site introduced me to TV Tropes, to explain the terms EnsembleDarkHorse and CreatorsPet.\ |
706 | I'm thankful that he did, because this may be one of the best sites ever.\ |
707 | After all it introduced me to: |
708 | * ''VideoGame/YumeNikki'', a current addiction of mine. Although now I have trouble sleeping. [[NightmareFetishist That's one of the best things, though]]. |

901 | * Fanfic/NoAntidote: I'd heard about this fic before, and mostly about how [[DarkFic dark]] it is. After finally reading it, I am happy to report that not only was it not as bad as I had thought, but it left me on a fairly optimistic note. Now I like to take some time every so often to browse the FanFicRecommendations page. |
902 | * ''Webcomic/PowerpuffGirlsDoujinshi'': Before coming to this site, I'd never heard of this comic. It's a fun idea, and I now want to see how it ends. (Learning it was the inspiration for ''VideoGame/FusionFall'' was also a nice bonus.) |

1013 | * I found many things through TV Tropes, but the thing I am most grateful for finding is ''{{Fanfic/Anthropology}}''. It instantly became one of my favourite fics. Also, as a bit of a challenge for myself, I'm trying to find ''Fanfic/ErisGame'' without using TV Tropes. I might have to resort to Website/{{Googl|e}}ing it, since I can't find it on Website/FanFictionDotNet. |
1014 | * Oh yeah, and I would not have gotten interested in ''VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors'' or ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'' if it weren't for TV Tropes. The fact that the JustForFun/XMeetsY page states ''Danganronpa'' is really similar to ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' probably helped. |

[[HumorMode Where's my goddamn tax rebate, HUH, TV TROPES!?]] |
1018 | |
1019 | [[AC: @/{{RhapsodyOfAWhimsicality}}]] |
1020 | * {{Anime}} in general (well, I’d watched a little ''Anime/{{Bleach}}'' before, but hadn’t developed a fondness for the genre). Particularly: |
1021 | ** ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' (Which sounded ridiculous on Netflix until I read the wiki page; it’s actually hilarious. I’m now reading the manga.) |
1022 | ** ''Manga/DeathNote'' |
1023 | ** ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' |
1024 | ** ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'' (which I was attracted to initially because of the wiki's comments about the ambiguous genre and snarky unreliable narrator. Most of the time, though, I’m just wondering what on earth I’m even watching.) |
1025 | ** ''Manga/SukitteIiNaYo'' (which I actually ended up not being very impressed with at all.) |
1026 | ** ''Anime/TheGirlWhoLeaptThroughTime'' |
1027 | * ''Literature/TheQueensThief'' is a fantastic and rather obscure book series that I read some years ago and forgot all about until I stumbled upon the Website/TVTropes page for it, after which I immediately went out and purchased the series. I reread it three times in as many months, added a few tropes, and now I can’t quit writing fanfiction for it… |
1028 | * ''FanFic/HarryPotterAndTheMethodsOfRationality'' |
1029 | ** I ''think'' [=TVTropes=] is also how I discovered the [=HPatMoR=]-inspired ''Fanfic/{{Luminosity}}'', which I really enjoyed despite having absolutely no respect for [[Literature/TheTwilightSaga the source material]]. |
1030 | * ''Fanfic/IfBellaWereSane'' (My appreciation for well-written satire, even in the form of fanfic, knows no bounds.) |
1031 | * Webcomics generally, in particular: |
1032 | ** ''Webcomic/SequentialArt'' (The platypus is just the cutest.) |
1033 | ** ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' |
1034 | ** ''Webcomic/DMOfTheRings'' |
1035 | ** ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'' (I haven’t done an ArchiveBinge, but by halfway through the [[{{Heartwarming/Sinfest}} Heartwarming]] page I was ''this'' close to crying.) |
1036 | ** ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' |
1037 | * ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' (and by extension ''Series/{{Dollhouse}}'') |
1038 | * ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' |
1039 | * ''Literature/TheSundering'' |
1040 | * [=TVTropes=] is also responsible for the fact that I went back and tried to finish ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' (after stopping in the middle of book 6) even though it’s [[{{Doorstopper}} ridiculously long to be attempting in the middle of my sophomore year of college]] and I can’t figure out how any of the female characters’ brains work despite being female myself. |
1041 | |
1042 | [[AC: @/RichardJ]] |
1043 | * Website/SCPFoundation - via the NightmareFuel page. Trust me, if you want to sleep anytime soon, don't start reading. You'll either be creeped out of your mind, or unable to stop reading the list (this happened to me, I even ended up writing a couple...) |
1044 | * Literature/TheSalvationWar - Best summed up by the tagline: 'When all Hell breaks loose on Earth, all Earth breaks loose on Hell'. If you didn't get that, the story involves a 21st Century army ''busting into Hell and blowing Satan and his armies apart''. And then they go after the man upstairs. |

1053 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}}'' |
1054 | * ''Literature/SpiceAndWolf'' |
1055 | ** With exception of the last, I loved all that I found here (about ''Spice and Wolf'', it's not that I disliked, the soundtrack is amazing, but it just didn't catch my attention) |
1056 | * Lots of fanfics, I try to repay the favor by always recommending my favorites or ones I think that need attention |
1057 | |
1058 | [[AC: Topers/RoadHazard7696]] A friend showed me this at school, now it is one of my permanently opened browser pages on my phone. |
1059 | * ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' Had no interest in it, until i found out about the sleazy jokes. |
1060 | * ''WesternAnimation/TimeSquad'' Thought it was good when it was on, now its downright hilarious. |
1061 | * ''Fallout'' Had New Vegas, but found hours of playtime in the rest of the series. |
1062 | * ''VideoGame/DeusEx'' |
1063 | * ''Film/FullMetalJacket'' Planned on seeing it eventually, but got the book as well after this. |
1064 | * ''Film/PulpFiction'' |
1065 | * ''Watchmen'' Again, wanted to see and read it, but this sealed the deal. |
1066 | * ''ComicBook/VForVendetta'' |
1067 | * ''AbridgedSeries'' |
1068 | * ''ComicStrip/TheBoondocks'' My friends watched it, but after reading about it, started an ArchiveBinge on the comic strip. |
1069 | * ''Film/TheBoondockSaints'' |
1070 | * Webcomics in general. |
1071 | * ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' |
1072 | * ''VideoGame/HalfLife'' |
1073 | * ''Film/ThereWillBeBlood'' |
1074 | * ''Film/IngloriousBasterds'' |
1075 | * ''ComicBook/SinCity'' |
1076 | * Non FPS games, although there were a few that I liked before. |
1077 | * ''Series/PennAndTellerBullshit'' Which led me to other Penn and Teller works. |
1078 | * ''Series/PushingDaisies'' |
1079 | * ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' |
1080 | * ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' Which led to Rifftrax. |
1081 | * ''{{Wiki Walk}}s'' |
1082 | |
1083 | [[AC: @/{{Rpgingmaster}}]] |
1084 | * VideoGame/SuperRobotWars - I was already a fan. This wiki just made my passion for it go OverNineThousand. |
1085 | |
1086 | [[AC: Tropers/RyanPuffs]] |
1087 | * ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' |
1088 | * ''VideoGame/Payday2'' |
1089 | * ''Radio/TrueCapitalist'' |
1090 | |
1091 | [[AC: @/{{Ryusui}}]] |
1092 | * ''TabletopGame/{{Chrononauts}}'': Someone posted a ''TabletopGame/{{Chrononauts}}'' example in my TimeCrash trope. I started doing my research and now I can't wait for December, when the new edition comes out. Until then, I'll have to be satisfied with [[http://zenith.homelinux.net/chrononauts/ Chrononauts PC]]. |
1093 | * Literature/{{Discworld}}: I had heard of it before Website/TVTropes, though I dare say [=TVTropes=] was my incentive to start reading them. ''Literature/{{Hogfather}}'' was the last one I read, and with two more on the way in the near future, I better get back to catching up. |
1094 | * ''Manga/FrankenFran'': I'll admit it: I usually avoid fansubs and scanslations like the plague. The words "GratuitousJapanese" usually do not ''begin'' to describe them in my experience: by the time I'm done banging my head against all the translation notes, I begin to wonder what the point in calling it a ''translation'' was to begin with. This said, [=TVTropes=] made me curious enough to give ''Franken Fran'' a look...plenty of {{Squick}} and NightmareFuel to go around, but good stuff in the absence of a translation of ''Manga/PetShopOfHorrors'' that I can trust (that's right, Tokyopop's just as bad as the fansubbies IMHO). |
1095 | * Manga/LiarGame: Like ''Franken Fran'', only with ''this'' series I'm silently raging at why no one's picked this excellent series up for the U.S. yet. Imagine ''Leverage'' (or perhaps more properly ''Series/WhiteCollar'') meets the early volumes of ''Manga/YuGiOh'' with a bit of ''Manga/DeathNote'' for flavor. |
