Unfortunately not. I rarely series I didn't know about beforehand (I have friends who all have different tastes so I end up knowing a lot of series). However, sometimes TCGs do motivate me to play/watch things that I didn't have the motivation to watch or play earlier, which is pretty great.

Edit: I just remembered, it wasn't on Pairings but on Reverie. I remember I liked DRAMAtical Murder deck so much I decided to give the series a try.
