| I started watching anime when I was 6. They were shows like Rurouni Kenshin, Yu Yu Hakusho and DragonBall. I'm now 18 so thats 12 years for me. |
| I've been interested in and watching anime for over 10 years now. |
| Started with Dragonball Z and Sailor Moon way back on cartoon network as well as Pokemon. Expanded to Rurouni Kenshin and Yu Yu Hakusho. But I wouldn't consider that when I really started... I guess about 6 years ago maybe 5... I was flipping through and found Gatekeepers 21 on Tech TV. From there I watched a bunch of other stuff on Tech TV( before it became stupid G4) and then watched a lot of the stuff on Adult Swim before expanding to other stuff. So although I've been watching anime for close to 10 years it really started about 5 or 6 years. I kind of took a 2 year hiatus and didn't watch anything except Full Metal Alchemist. Then this past September I watched Suzuka and things took off again from there. I don't see it slowing down from here on out though. |
| uh....for about 1 year maybe 2. I watched a little here and there when my older brother watched, but my obsession hasnt been around very long. |
 |
| Anout 2 years |
 |
| Since 1998. My first exposure to anime was on TV watching shows like Pokemon and Sailor Moon. From there I went on to Ranma 1/2, Slayers, MKR, Fushigi Yuugi, etc. :) |
| For about 20 years already, I suppose, if watching "Japanese cartoons" on TV in childhood is counted. |
| eh?...20 years?...hmm...veteran...I wonder how old ya're...=P |
| I'm fallin down... I've lost my faith... When I die all the angels fade away...  |
| I've always loved anime and cartoons, but was introduced to the wonderful world of subbed anime in 2002 :) now I can't ever look at dubbed anime again >_> |
 |
| I started off with DBZ but my dad thought it was too violent. (he got over it though). But then I started watching it again about a year and a half ago. |
   |
| It's about 11 years or so. |
| Four months, 12 days |
 |
| erm i guess its about 9 years for me >< |
| 10 years or so |
| I've been properly into it for about 2.5 years now. I dabbled in high school, and watched some classic series back in grade school without eve realizing it was Japanese, but I didn't really watch a lot of it until I met my buddy Ben with his gigs of fansubs he was willing to share. |
| About 1.5 years ago (and I already have 104 series under my belt =X ). I accidentally clicked on an embedded video on my friend's myspace page and ended up seeing my first fansub ever (it was Ouran). After that, I found out about other series through anime bloggers and hunted down other episodes on youtube, and the rest is history =) |
 |
| about 15 years and counting.I'm just 18 BTW.lol. |
 |
| Saw some Anime series when i was just a little kid (Didn't know that it was Anime at that time). But i started to really get into it when i was 15, back then all Anime, even the kids show, was 18. So i had to drag my mother down every time i wanted to buy a Anime. luckily i really didn't care about my school reputation back then, or that would have been really bad. So it would be 13, almost 14 years now. |
  |
| I have been into anime for about two and a half years. Elfen Lied started it all. :) |
 |
| I saw Sailor Moon when I was around 10 years old (I'm 21 now), got into CCS when I was 15 and started watching various series here and there from then on. I really got into fansubs and keeping up with what's airing about 2 years ago though. So all together about 11 years. |
| |
| about 12 years |
 |
| About 10 years now, I believe. I was just a wee little kid when I discovered it. |
 |
| 1998 -2008 wow. ya crzy. did not start watching in japanese until about 2003. so 5 years as an otaku jaja |
    |
| I've been into anime, for close to two years now. |
| What you saw at the castle on that windy night ,and what you saw at the bridge last night .. how I smiled, never utter a word to anyone. If you dare speak .. I will find where you are .. And I will kill you. Kill you. I will rip you apart .. crush your bones And eat your flesh.. I will drink your blood. I will .. devour you. |
| Around four now, it was my older siblings that got me started. |
| lets see, i watched my first anime when i was about 6 or 7, so it would be around 12-13 years |
| I was a lot into them as a kid, didn't know it was "anime" per se. stopped watching during my teens 6 years ago, someone told me I just *had* to read X, and I did, but didn't understand the whole thing (it was in japanese), so I started watching the anime version, which blew me off totally, and put an end to my disliking of anime compared to manga ;D |
| The end of 5th grade which was in...1999. Wow, has it really been that long?... |
 |
| Well, since 2002, think so. And taking anime very seriously it would be 1,5 year. |
 |
| I grew up watching anime; I loved it. My brother used to buy it all the time. I had no idea it was anime back then. I've always liked anime, but I didn't really get into it till around. . .perhaps two years ago? Maybe more? |
||Drama List|| |
| well i watched wedding peach, doraemon, and atom (astro boy) as a child.. so that makes it, 14~ years? |
     |
| My 90's brush with Dragonball and Sailor Moon doesn't really count, so I could say I've been "into" anime since I moved away from home in 2003. |
  |
| I think 5-6 years or so |
| A little over 2 years. |
  |
| Almost 11 years now, I think. The first anime I can remember watching was DBZ/Pokemon back when I was 6 or 7. |
| Since I was in 6th grade with Gundam Wing and Tenchi Muyo, so about eight years. I mean there was DBZ and Robotech before then but they're pretty Americanized so I don't count that. |
| Jumping in Headfirst - I hear reading it causes immortality. Warning. Reading may not actually cause immortality. |
| I started anime almost exactly a year ago. I have been addicted since. Well, I actually started watching it when I was really young, like watching Sailor Moon, DragonBall Z, and this one weird one I can't remember well, they used cards for magic. ( Not Yu gi Oh even though I watched that too. ) |
| It all started with Sailor Moon for me and I think it was in 5th or 6th grade. I am almost 23 so that makes it about 12 years. I've always loved watching anime when I was younger but could only watch the ones that came out on American TV because I didn't know where to get anime. I did have a bunch of wall scrolls of anime adorning my walls back then. |
     |
| i started watching anime 6 years ago....been hooked ever since... |
 |
| 6-7 years |
 |
| about 3 years with dubbed anime, but i only started watching subbed ones this past summer. |
 |
| almost 3 years but I did watch stuff like DBZ and outlaw star about 8 years ago. |
| I've been watching anime ever since I was little so that would make 9/10 years. But only more recently, probably 5/4 years ago, have I started watching it in japanese and being a real fan. |
| About two years |
| Since last summer |
