| The anime that really get me into anime is Naruto. But since I was a kid, I have watched other animes, on TV, since in Phi. Every morning, respective channels airs anime. |
| Watched CCS, Digimon, Pokemon, DBZ when I was little, then Miyazaki and GitS, read some manga in middle school. When I started college my flatmate told me to watch Naruto and I was converted |
| well i moved to the west. canada, specifically. in sixth grade. this one girl came up to me and yelled " DO U WATCH ANIMUU." she was the only person who approached me. so obviously i said no what is that and for the rest of middle/elementary school she persistently tried to force me to watch anime. at that time i though they were retarded asian cartoons, and thought that I would never ever watch them, lol. in 8th grade, she succeeded. she is no longer as weeby as before and obviously watched more than me now. we seem to be 'best friends'. also it seems her true motive was to ruin my life, she also succeeded in that. |

| Yu-Gi-Oh GX was my first anime. Then as a teenager I watched Death Note. The spiral of anime madness began... >_> |
  |
| When I was in 7th grade I found the first season of Clannad on YT, the rest is history. |
 |
| Puberty -> Porn -> Hentai -> Anime Dem hormones and dat curiosity. On a serious note, I just watched it as a kid with regular american cartoons and the occasional mature anime films my dad had. Eventually just focused more on anime, especially when we finally got internet. |
| Well. I've watched my first anime when I was a kid. Shaman king, after that Naruto. But then the channel got closed down so I took a very long break. After that my friend got me back into anime so yeah. Still watching it since that day. |
 |
| I used to watch it with friends, or before I went to school. |
 |
| Back when I was a youngin in High School I was an athletic teen and part of the school's soccer team. Very dedicated. I had a fucked up knee that took a turn for the worst and I couldn't play soccer anymore. So I went to anime club at my school because I had a few friends in there. Had never watched anime before but then I was addicted. First thing I saw in that class was FMP and I was hooked. I had been so wrong about anime beforehand and for the next few years of high school I became involved in my school's anime club as well as started attending anime conventions etc. Now I'm basically a loser who never exercises and spends my spare moments watching or rewatching anime. I make good life choices. |

AnimeGenork said: -Senpai- said: The real question is how did anime got into me and how do I take it out? That, my friend, is a procedure as yet undiscovered by scientists. Wrong. You just need a bullet to go through your brain and it's over. |

| You can't get into an anime, because it is a 2d world. |
 |
| Toonami. I wanted to watch YuYu Hakusho to the end, and Toonami just stopped dubbing it. Using the internet I found out where I could watch the rest, was exposed to Japanese for my first time and just continued watching other shows from there. |
| An older cousin showed me Ninja Scroll when I was too young to see it. The rest is history. |
| I used to watch a lot of the very Americanized anime such as Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Beyblade, and Bakugan when I was little. All the ones you didn't know they were anime. Second semester of freshman year of high school, my friend just randomly started talking about anime, and told me to watch anime. Asked another friend where I should start and he replied Cowboy Bebop, ended up hating it, since I was so impatient at the time. Told me to watch Samurai Champloo, loved it, but I didn't start really getting into anime until like a year ago, I did watch it here and there, but not as much as now. |
 |
| A long time ago in a galaxy far far away.... I searched "anime" on Google. I found Naruto. I watched it. And that's how I got into anime. |

| The naruto airing on tv was progressing too slow so I googled naruto episodes.. Turned out I could get further ahead if I watched subtitles... never went back to dubbed. |

| I moved out of my house and with this girl temporarily (like a month or so 9 years ago?) and she was a huge anime fan. I didn't care much about it, but one day she showed me an episode of Hikaru no Go and I found it interesting. Then we watched Ouran High School Host Club, super fun! She totally hooked me with Naruto though....... totally a gateway 'drug' |

| i was HEAVILY into cartoons as a toddler then Pokemon and Digimon came out in elementary school and i realized Japanese cartoons were 100x more appealing than western ones, especially for the character designs |
     |
| I've always liked cartoons (I still watch Cartoon Network even though I'm 22) and I have every possible cartoon chanel on my TV. I once checked the TV guide to see if there's something interesting and I saw Death Note on some cartoon station I usually avoided because they never had anything interesting. I didn't even know what anime is (I mean, just some kids cartoons but in japanese, right?) so I decided to check it out of curiosity and here I am now 4 years later, slacking off on MAL instead of studying. |
 |
| I've been watching animes since my childhood, I just got used to watching it over time. I can clearly remember when I watched my first animes Cowboy Bepop, One piece such a damn thrill. I wish I was still a kid |
 |
| Well, I haven't been buying/renting anime, so there hasn't been any interest on loans yet. :ok_hand: OT: Tales of series got me interested in anime |
| All my TV shows were either off season/cancelled/getting boring and I've been reading manga for years and I decided to give anime a try a few months ago. Generally its the other way around of people watching anime then reading manga but I thought watching anime would confirm my fate as a weeb. Somehow reading manga didn't make me weeby? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I even learned how to read Japanese to read more novels/manga but watching anime was just crossing the weeb line. Anyways, I've given up on it and embraced my fate. |
| Almost a year ago, my friend kept on telling me to watch Kill la Kill and after about a month of her telling me to watch it, I finally took the time to sit down and watch the show. I instantly loved it and was pretty sad when I finished it. After that, I looked up the studio that made KLK (Trigger) and found out that they had two (at the time) upcoming series, Kiznaiver and Space Patrol Luluco, which would both be airing very soon. When the time finally came, I decided to watch a lot of the other anime series that was airing that season and since then, I've been watching anime. |
| the anwer to your title is: DBZ on cartoonnetwork many years ago |
  |
| I was addicted to battle shouen back in my childhood. Grew tired of them and anime in general, but HxH revived my interest in anime again. Nowdays I struggle to watch a show that has more than 26 episodes. |
| I used to read webcomics in high school and somehow I came across Death Note (the manga) and loved it. Once I started reading manga it was inevitable that I found anime |

| PPV on dish network tbh, this was wayy back in early 2000's. |
 |
| I watched death note with my brother ,we loved it then I started searching for something similar. The end |
 |
| I grew up watching anime that was aired on t.v. I always wake up every morning on the weekends just to watch them. My first anime was Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z, and Yugioh and from there I started watching more anime such as Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece. Ostensibly I grew up watching and enjoying a lot of Shounen anime. Afterward, I went on and find a lot of variety of genre of anime to watch then it all went on. Apparently a few years ago I lost interest in anime so I decided to take a break from it. So then a friend of mine recommended a anime series for me to watch because he was watching it, so I gave it a shot and loved it, and sooo on I continued to watch more anime series. |
 |
| Two of my friends kept nagging me about how good anime was, but I didn't want to get into it because it didn't really interest me. After a few months of them constantly telling me to start watching, I decided to give Death Note a try since the premise intrigued me. I loved it, but I wouldn't have called myself a fan of anime at that point. It was after finishing One Piece that I fell in love with the medium. |

| thread so old ;~; but i just had to catch them all when i was smaller |
 |
| I wasn't interested in anime at first. Then my classmate introduced me to hentai... Things went off to a weird start. |
| E7 pretty much pulled me in, when i was younger I always watched adult swim with shows like cowboy bebop, outlaw star, trigun, and toonami with tenchi muyo, and DBZ. After E7 i started to watch more titles so, Thank you cartoon network |
This life is a marathon, I'm on a steady pace |
| I remember back when i was 6 my sisters would watch animes on TV like bleach, inuyasha, zach bell, gundam seed every week at night. I ended up joining them and yea i started to really like anime |
