Well, I started watching actively this February, and all that's in my charts besides Fullmetal Alchemist and Death Note (watched last summer) I've watched since. I've also seen stuff like Inuyasha and Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh and such when I was a child, but I didn't know that was anime at the time.

So, I'm really new to anime.

I watched series like Poké- and Digimon when they were on the belgian televison for the first. I was 8, i guess.

However, I only started with the 'real' anime half a year ago

I watched lots of anime as a child, but I don't remember them.
I only started watching again maybe two years ago, so not very long.

Well, if you count the DBZ/Pokemon/Digimon years, then 12 years total.

When I started becoming "serious", then that would be around 5 years.

This is tough to pinpoint, but I really got "aware" of the anime scene when I was introduced to Death Note about a year ago, really. Back then I didn't know that Gundam Wing and Dragonball Z were "anime," I just called them cartoons. :P

5th grade, was when I realized exactly what anime was, I didn't have any idea that Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z, or Card Captor Sakura was actually anime, untill 5th grade that is. Then instead of watching "Card Captors," I watched CCS<3

So that would be, 4-5 years? :D Yayy.

Hmmm, it's been a real long time. The first anime I saw was back in I think '95/'96. We had one of those, well, lets just say "not very legal" cable box that got all the pay-per-view channels for free. I remembered they played Ninja Scroll, Slayers - The Motion Picture, and Castle of Cagliostro. I loved those, and not long after that my friend got import Neon Genesis Evangelion VHS tapes, and I've been hooked since then.

I only got into anime earlier this year, when I was stuck in the hospital for a month and they gave me a laptop to use. So... Since January 2008, while I was 17.

I'd say I have been watching anime for 10 years or so now, considering I've lived in asia almost all my life i was quite exposed to it from an early time. Though, I've only started actively watching it in the last 5 or 6 years when I was a bit more knowledgable :)

I don't know how many years exactly but maybe around 8-9 years. I remember in elementary school as soon as I came home I would turn on the tv and watch Sailor Moon and DBZ and then Cardcaptors later.

I only count from when I started seeing anime as a different medium, which was almost fifteen years ago. Sure, I grew up with cartoons in the eighties that were dubbed Japanese cartoons or had animation outsourced to Japan but they weren't any different to me from anything else that was on TV. It wasn't until I got into the comic book shows that I saw there was this thing called "Japanimation" and I started getting my grubby little hands on what I could. Within a couple of years, I was hooked and started getting deeper into the whole fandom culture.

I was already watching animes without knowing that they are animes. You know like Heidi, Candy Candy, Lady Georgie, Rose of Versailles etc. I liked them better than the other cartoons I knew that there were emotion on these. And I was a fan of Saber Rider when I was 6-7 lol :D After by years when tv shows animes like these I always tried to watch them even when I missed the episode any of it I got sad I remember. My age didnt matter to me :)
And now I'm 22 :D And I'm watching animes knowing that they are animes. It's been 3-4 years :)

When I was younger I watched crap like DBZ, Beyblade and Yu-Gi-Oh because they were on t.v and I found them to be interesting. It was only a couple of years ago, 2 maybe, that I realized anime culture was huge and that there are tons of great shows out there.

I think I started around when I was 7, when I randomly came across Pokemon at a Blockbuster we found after we moved into my current home. So that'd be...9 years, coming this October. Went from Pokemon to Tenchi Muyo to Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z....and so on. The Toonami stuff. ^.^

I started casually watching Naruto and Bleach like a year ago, with some Death Note thrown in. Picked it into high gear around March. So call it 4-5 months. Ish.
