I had just finished reading Yu Yu Hakusho, and I was craving even more of its perfection. I went on the Internet looking for some art and pics from the manga and discovered that, by golly, there was a show of Yu Yu Hakusho!

It was some weird thing called "anime" (forgive me, this was from a time when I thought Yusuke's name was pronounced "yoo-soo-kay"), but I didn't care what it called itself as long as I could get more of YYH. I marathoned the entire series. Best time of my life.

Since then, I've seen much more, but my number 1 favourite has always been my first. ^^=

What got me into anime was The Matrix, (The directors are really inspired by anime) and after that I watched some shows on adultswim and found Code Geass after Blood+ ended. That's what got me hooked on anime.

Decided to remember my younger days by watching Macross II. Then decided to watch Macross Frontier (since it was new at the time). Has been my favorite ever since.

Saber Rider
Watched it sometimes as a kid and downloaded the whole series years later.
Was really happy when they released a remastered collection with all episodes including the lost ones last november.

OP, please try to write comprehensively, at least with correct spellings. Anyhow, a friend told me about Death Note which is currently my highest rated anime. My favorite anime is yet to be discovered by me.

Natsume Yuujinchou (San)

Gee, I stumbled upon the Natsume Yuujinchou series (I think) back in 2009, when I was browsing through, if I remember correctly, Anime Season. Saw it was similar to xxxHolic and was interested, and also seeing a fat cute cat caught my eye.

Yup.

Higurashi series: A user of a forum recommended me this anime because i was looking for an horror anime like Elfen Lied. But at the end i loved more Higurashi No naku koro ni than Elfen Lied.

Pandora Hearts: In web i see that a lot of people love that so i decided to watch it and at the end i agree with them.

Ga Rei Zero: i was visiting a anime site and i noticed this anime, i read the plot and i decided to see that. The first two episodes didn't like me but then i loved it.

i like ga-rei zero too
so, after watch the anime i decided to read the manga
that was not a great ideia...
ga-rei zero (anime) is way better than ga-rei (manga)
imo, the manga just screwed the things up

I agree with you.
The manga of ga rei zero disappointed me, it's not too bad but i thought it was better than the anime. :(

I attended a Q & A session with Steve Blum at Anime Boston 2006. I'd only known him for a couple of roles at the time, but not his most famous one: Spike Spiegel. A week later, I bought volume one of Cowboy Bebop at a video store and the rest is history.

After seeing the excitement the youtube reviewer StormKing1 had for Steins;Gate is his 2011 Spring preview I decided to watch it too. Part of the first group of series I watched whilst they were airing.

Found out about it from a guy to whom I subscribed for JRPG walkthroughs. Guy proclaimed that Kirino was his Waifu. Later, he started marathoning OreImo on Twitch TV. Watched it with him to the very end. Loved it.

Summer 2010, I was at a completely nerdy and awesome computer camp over the summer. I decide to walk in on a couple of my friends to see what they were doing; they were watching this really weird show with a star-shaped giant robot and an overly innocent-looking girl. Then it turns out there were more robots, protecting the girl from some sort of scorpion robot, who got beaten by this enormous robot that looked like a battleship. I was thoroughly confused but intrigued, and so I stayed and kept watching with my friends. And watching. And watching. And then we finished the show, and a few days later I saw the early episodes I had missed.
