| Family friend had a daughter 5 years older than me, introduced me to D.gray man this was at the time where I didn't watch anything besides Naruto. After that I expanded my horizons. |
 |
| It all started about ten years ago with DBZ, Sailor Moon and after some time Digimons. But what really got me hooked on anime was Ghost in the Shell. |
    |
| All bout that Pokemon Movie 2000 and Toonami. |
| I never watched any anime on TV as a kid, not pokemon, not DB(Z), nothing really. But sometime last year I watched an episode of FLCL on TV. Re-watched the series over and over again, then sometime in April or may just decided to start actually getting into anime. I think the first thing I watched other than that was ika musume or madoka. |
| I guess I could say that it all started with Sailor Moon early in the morning before school. But about 4 years ago, my now husband showed me Gurren Lagann, and then I found Death Note. Now it's one of my biggest hobbies = D and on a side note.. am I the only one on this topic that doesn't have to get high/has ever gotten high to watch anime...? Killing my braincells just doesn't appeal to me. |
| Well, TV obviously. But then I quit after a while. Then during Winter 2012, I got really bored and I started watching ongoing series like Chihayafuru because I read the manga series as well. Then I followed Sakamichi no Apollon, Hyouka and other Spring ones. And then I finished Nodame Cantabile and that was the time when I was completely hooked onto Anime. |
| I really started with RTL2. In the beginning they let us watch many different kinds of anime (more or less uncut). But with it my interest for anime was started :) Greetings Cyan |
 |
| A friend of mine showed me some episodes of Death Note and I became addicted to it. |

| I actually started anime with Naruto. I was about 11 years old, and for me the world of japanimation was limited to Naruto, One Piece, Death-Note and Bleach. And at that time these other anime didn't interest me. This is only this year, when I watched Naruto again (after at least 1 year without having watched it at all), that I got very disappointed by how the serie had become. But I really felt like watching something, an anime. So, I looked for something with a good plot, not a romance thing, why not horror, and I came upon another. The chara design looked good, the plot was perfect, so I went for it. And I liked it so much, that Another totally introduced me into the world of japanimation. I wanted something else, that I could like as much as Another. Therefore I first only watched horror show, and then I started to interests in other genres. |
| well besides the miazaki movies that i did not know where anime. i did not even hear of the word anime until i watch higurashi so ya higurashi got me into anime because i loved the story so much. :3 then i moved on to other anime. |

| Well, it all started during my early childhood. I can still remember rushing home from school just to catch the latest episode of DBZ and yuyu hakusho on tv. But of course, that didn't really get me into anime. it was during 7th grade (or first year highschool in the philippines) that i really got into anime. I remember back then that during summer break we had just moved into our new house and we had no wifi. So while rummaging around the piles of junk, i stumbled upon an anime dvd which was Tokimeki Memorial: Only Love, if i remember correctly. After that when we finally got an internet connection, the first thing i googled was anime. And roughly 4 years later, here i am, still watching anime. |

| when i was 10, i tripped and fell into a pool of anime |
 |
| When I was 5, I watched my first anime to be followed by naruto.. And makes me addicted even now.. I can't take not watching anime in 1 day.. It's a maintenance. xD |
 |
| I got into it when anime started appearing on Saturday morning cartoon blocks. Like many others, I started with your 'mons and Dragon Ball Z. Random VHS rentals as well of Miyazaki films as well. It wasnt until December 2002 when Shonen Jump came stateside that I really got into anime/manga though. |
 |
| I used to spend a lot of my childhood time in front of TV , I was watching every Anime on a french channel called Manga and another channel . But I never realized that it's anime and when I started using web I discovered it well . |
 Hii everyone , Please add me if you want to be friends , I really want to make new friends here ^__^ ♥ |
| Sailor Moon, back when it was aired on TV. And then Cartoon Networks adult swim a few years later sealed the deal. |

| When i was little i used to watch Saint Seiya,Digimon and Dragon Ball,but i never was really into anime. When i grew up i gave up of watching anime,i thought it was pretty bad(mostly because of naruto fans,they annoyed me all the time),then i decided to give animes a try.I watched Death Note and i really like it,then i watched Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood,after that i watched a few others...and i'm here today. |

| When I first got into anime would be pokemon/digimon, but they dont really count. So it would probably be Naruto |

How did you get into anime? The door was opened. |
| As a kid, I was really into shows like DBZ, Naruto, Pokemon, One Piece etc. I would watch these with my brother we really enjoyed those shows. Toonami also got me into anime too. |

| My first dabbling into anime was seeing Digimon on a weekday morning block for a TV station that no longer exists. But as I didn't know it was anime I don't count it as my first. My first experience with anime was when I was in 6th grade, my cousin introduced me to Wolfs Rain. It took me two years to get my hands on more anime but since 8th grade, I've been going strong with anime and manga. |
 |
| A friend showed me DBZ on Toonami when I was about 9 years old. I thought It looked kind of weird at first but started to really like it the more I watched. I watched Toonami almost every night that it was on for years before I learned of all the other anime that was out there. |
| I started watching anime when DBZ aired on TV. I just kept on watching, because i had nothing else to do with my time. Gotta love childhood... :') Around that time, I also watched Cardcaptor Sakura. Didn't give a shit that it was a shoujo. I thought the show was the bomb! |

| Hmm...I'm probably about the same as everyone else. I started watching stuff like DBZ and Yugioh but didn't really get into it until I saw Code Geass on Adult Swim years ago. |
| One day I was in IRC with a group of friends, they recommended some shows, I watched them, a year later I couldn't stop. Simple simples! |
| *Cringey anime weeb stuff* |
| I really have no idea how I got into it.. I watched Neon Genesis Evangelion from my TV when I was like 14 or something and before that Magic Knight Rayearth but I don't have any memories how I got myself really into anime hmmm It's about 7 years from that now. Jeesh times flies. |
| I just watched Death Note one day completely out of curiosity and that's where it began |
 |
hahahadotcom said: I just watched Death Note one day completely out of curiosity and that's where it began Similar. My friend was crazy about that anime so I try it once and did like it. |
| randomly came upon funimation on tv and then i had one or two friends say why don't you watch this... and now i just watch it because these get released faster than anything else in sheer quantity and i have time to kill xD |
| Zatch Bell, Yugioh!, and Sailor moon were always on and that was when it suddenly began ._. |
 |
| when i'm a kid i usually watch something like hunter x hunter, cardcaptor sakura, doraemon, gakkou no kaidan, etc. that's because the TV stations in my country (indonesia) air it every week in local language so at that time i thought they were just cartoons. i found a new step of my life (stepping into anime nowadays) from watching angel beats by streaming online. i started downloading the series from anohana that's all folks |
 |
| i started by watching pokemone and dbz as a child, then while i was in highschool i rewatched dbz and i didnt want it to end. when i finished it my friend suggested chrono crusade, and it began |
 |
| idk |
| If Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, etc. don't count because I watched those as a kid growing up, then probably when I was 6-ish and came across Inuyasha on Adult Swim. |
 |
| Well when I was little I had watched Dragonball, Pokemon, Yu-gi-oh and such but in seventh grade my best friend because an anime fan through Inuyasha and told me all the shows were anime and she dragged me into the world of it and I will never turn back now it's too damn fun here ^_^ |
 |
| I saw some episodes in kindergarden but I wasn't too interested (National Geographic fan kid), but then around age 14 I was looking for wallpapers and I found some Ayashi no Ceres pictures, I decided to watch it and from then there was no stopping :D |
| I've been watching it ever since. It's like, my childhood. I acted/dressed up/watched anime. Then I realised it's called 'anime.' So I was like okay. Then let's watch online anime! And that's how it all began. XD |
 |
| One day I watched Death Note just by curiosity, and it began!. |
 |
| started watching pokemon, yu-gi-oh, cardcaptor sakura and a bunch of others that used to air on tv in my country when I was about 4 or so, then I watched Death Note out of curiosity and started watching anime online :) |
(◕‿◕✿) |
| Lol, the majority seems to have been drawn in by Death Note. It wasn't the first one I watched online, but it did play a major role in getting me addicted to anime, I can't deny that. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| For me it started with MAR (Marchen Awaken Romance), then i started searching like crazy for other animes |
 |
| i guess i got into it just like everbody else it started with dbz on saturday morings i dident even know it was anime then anime just took it's coarse and now its part of my every day life. |
