| When I was much younger, I watched shows like Cardcaptor Sakura, Dragonball Z, and Sailor Moon but at the time I did not realize that I was watching anime. I got into anime consciously and seriously after watching some Studio Ghibli films. |
| Actually, one of my friend was watching anime and recommended One Piece to me and then i fell into it and i also started lots of other animes and i love it |
 |
| since little - pokemon, sometimes digimon and things like that, later naruto, vampire knights and so on (all these in TV), later I started watching online |
 I've got a bad habit of clicking spoilers too fast, then regret it .. "The only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed." |
| Well, I've watched stuff since my childhood but what got me back into anime was Chihayafuru during Spring time, since I read the manga for it. Then I went and started watching more ongoing animes like Sakamichi no Apollon and Hyouka. And now I'm trying to watch everything I can. ^^ |
| it was actually when Toonami when was up and i saw one anime movie i really really liked and then i researched up the one similar to it and what came up was Full Metal Panic and after that anime i was completely hooked. |
 |
| It was Yu-Gi-Oh!. I watched the show, and started playing the game, which led to me reading a lot about it to try to get better at it. I read that there was a comic of it, and wanted to read it. That got me into manga, and is what really got me into anime. The first anime I watched that wasn't for kids was FMA. |
| well it started with pokemon dragonball z yugioh cardcaptor a lil bit of digimon a lil bit of gundam wing toonnmi a few animes that was on british tv sci-fi had loads of violent anime which was awesome a tv channel had FMA kural phantom memory elfen lied * OMG was this awesome jinki extend Guyver and a few others i cant remember mtv had deve-something eve * man those boobs were big gelgamesh anime central had gundam seed * sadly ghost in the shell seasons 1 and 2 bleach .hack//SIGN Witch Hunter Robin Vision of Escaflowne Wolf's Rain s-CRY-ed Cowboy Bebop after watching the ones on british tv and when i couldn't find anymore i decided to buy them all on dvd and have my own anime library because i enjoyed watching them |

| It was in my 9th Grade and exams were coming up. I was bored to hell and connected the pen drive I had gotten from a friend of mine to see what was in it. There were six anime episodes in it. Code Geass R2 episodes 1-3 and Darker Than Black season 1 epsiodes 1-3. That's where I got hooked on to anime............... and I failed my exams. |

| I started watching Naruto over year ago and then I continued to other anime series. Ofc I watched Pokemon when I was young :D |
| Well I used to live oversea's and they had this channel that was exclusively for anime. I would switch over to it every once in a while when I was bored, but never really watched anything. Then one day I caught the first episode of Gurren Lagann. I was like sweet, post-apocalyptic wasteland setting with giants robots, this could be interesting. So I watched Gurren Lagann till the end, and my opinion of anime skyrocketed. This was probably 4 years ago. After that I watched most of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and the first half of welcome to the NHK (a lot of the jokes and stereotypes I didnt understand at the time, so I just stopped watching it) About 3 years later I was living in the states and found HOTD on netflix and decided to watch it because the whole zombie theme sounded really cool. I was a bit disappointed though, as the over the top ecchi took away a lot of the shows potential IMO. After that I randomly came across Calanad and decided to watch the series even though it wasnt my style, and after that I was set. Anime became all I watched basically, as it has some of the best action, creative settings, and romance I've ever seen. |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
| yah i started with toonami also i remeber getting home from school with a bag of hot cheetos getting ready to watch dbz,tench muyo, and gundam wing |

| My cousins were so into anime that I got influenced by them. Main reason I got into anime was conformity issues. Basically, I just wanted to fit in like the rest of them but I've grown up loving the medium so I don't really care anymore. Right now, I don't really know if they are still watching. I think they've gone through that phase where everything isn't great anymore. Its like having a high standard and other factors involving judgment. |
| Friend wouldn't stop talking about it, & I realized that I should probably watch anime before I made fun of her for watching it...now I watch as much as her :p ...still annoy her with the shows she watches, but only because they're the exact opposite from what I like to watch |

| I got into anime years ago when I stayed up until like 3 A.M with my cousin so we could watch Eureka 7 back when it was still on t.v. |
 |
| I started to marathon the big three. Then, after i finished, i searched for more titles like it. Eventually i just watched anime |
 |
| I watched very little of Hunter X Hunter (The old one) and One Piece when I was a kid..Then I stopped for a long time..And it was that I was on a forum and there was a section for Anime..And there I got interested and watched Death Note...The feeling was awesome and I got into Anime |
-------Only God will judge me -------- iSignature |
| Death Note ^.^ Never really cared for Anime before that. I then felt like giving other shows a chance after that. I don't regret it at all xP |
| I started with Gundam Wing on toonami, then into DBZ and other crappy dubs until i got a computer in 4th grade and was open to the world of the internet. |
 |
| Started with shows like Attack No.1 or Captain Tsubasa on german TV. Later there was Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon etc. |
 |
| I watched anime before I knew what was anime. When I went through those anime sites there were discussions about other anime. Tried searching it through then yeah... |
Alone on a Friday night? Remember that DIO did nothing wrong! |
| My anime started with a simply Tv watching moment, when they were showing Detective Conan and Lupin the third..After that just started to watch other anime shows from the internet aaand..here im now..everyday watching many many anime series.. :P |
 |
| Aside from stuff I watched on the telly when I was a kid, my friends kind of dragged me into it in the beginning of High School hahah and there went any semblance of a life I may have had previously. |
 |
| lol my first anime was railroad express 999 x.x I just seen it and it looked cool, let me tell you that shit still haunts me to this day XD |
| 'I will protect those precious to me, and destroy those who would do them harm!' |
| watching toonami with a big bag of hot cheetos after school everyday |
| Hmmm. Started watching tokusatsu in 2010 then got bored last year and went back to anime cos I did watch some anime back in the days which I interpreted as "cartoons". Lol. |
 |
| my friend gave me bleach five years ago, I got addicted... Then, I wanted to watch more shows like it, and... I continued this way, and became otaku more and more... |
 |
| In my younger days I would DBZ, Gundam Wing, and stuff like that on Toonami after school every day pretty much. I stopped watching in about 2005 or 2006 because I lost interest. In May when I heard Toonami was coming back, I decided to give it another try because a bunch of my friends were starting to get into anime again. Deadman Wonderland got me hooked and excited about anime again. After that, I started watching series after series up to this point in time. |
| I just stumbled across Death Note some day on Youtube and I've been watching since then :D |
| since i was a child i love the anime :P |
 |
worldd32 said: since i was a child i love the anime :P i second this. Toonami FTW |
| I got into it by watching it on our local TV. Thank goodness we didn't have cable back then! Anyway, I remember when me and my classmates or friends from elementary. We would go all gather in front of the tv and watch animes together. Animes like DBZ, Yuyu Hakusho, Slam Dunk, Detective Conan, Hunter x Hunter and more. This question brings back goood memories! |
| DRAGOON BALLL ZZZZZ!!!! i did watch Doraemon when i was little and it was very entertaining but DBZ is what got me into anime ;) |

| Mmhhm, Idk how just seen a series I cannot remember now and went from there. |
 |
| I watched DBZ when I was young :) Then my work colleague's watched anime like Naruto and Bleach. That's when I got addicted to anime! ahaa xD |
