| I just decided to watch anime. To inform myself of what side was correct in the ever-spiraling hateboy vs. fanboy of anime debate. Thus, here I am. |
 |
| Sword Art Online and the replacement of my cable with Netflix. |
| Yugioh when I was a kid and I always preferred Japanese stuff for some reason (like nintendo for ever too). First anime I watched was on youtube I think then I went from pirate site to pirate site from there. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| Panty shots. ...w-what? |
 |
| I remember being around 5yrs old and my friend telling me check out this show that came on around 3 in the noon. It was DBZ back when it aired on toonami during the noon block. I started watching Yu-Yu-hakusho and zach bell soon after. |
 |
| I was introduced through Boku no Pico, and i got hookd ever since |
| Gomenasai, my name is Ken-sama. I love watching Chinese cartoons, and more specifically, yaoi, and my favorite is Boku no Pico. |
| My cousin corrupted me by downloading 60 episodes of Bleach when i was ten years old |
| Dragon ball, Master Roshi was like a father figure to me. Sailor Moon aswell I wanted to be Tuxedo Mask when I was younger, that man was a true pimp. |
 |
| I started to watch anime because I wanted to start a conversation with some cool kind from school who watched anime! Started with AnoHana, although I had watched Digimon before |
| Lab Member 004 |
| Mom always working, I was alone 60% of the time,so the TV was a companion, and there was a lot of anime in the public tv (DBZ,Digimon,pokemon ,etc etc). And after so many years I still like anime. |
 Blonde hair is best hair. |
WarriorAngel said: Halicone said: Yup, Sailor Moon, Pokemon, Digimon... they were everywhere on TV. I just grew accustomed to watching cartoons over the years. :) |
| My sisters used to watch anime together all the time, so when I got a bit older they started introducing me to anime. I didn't get into manga too much and wasn't really loving anime either. After a show or two I started to become obsessed with anime and watched the good, popular ones like Naruto and Fairy Tail and Death Note. Now I'm always spending my free time watching anime with my sisters, my friends or myself. My sisters created a monster ^_^ |
| Well, I watched Pokemon but that didn't get me into Anime and I didn't know it was an Anime. It would have to be DBZ. I avoided it for the longest time because I simply couldn't grasp the concept. The artstyle was extremely foreign and I viewed cartoons as a children's medium, that adults could enjoy. I finally gave it a shot and after a few episodes I was hooked. I became so hooked that I was recording episodes (VHS...) and watching it every chance I got. I stumbled upon the manga and that led me to a new world. Adult Swim/Toonami got me into even more Anime. Adult Swim really changed my view of what a "cartoon" could be. The internet really caused my love for the medium to skyrocket. I was one of the first people to jump on Naruto, Bleach, Death Note, etc... In fact, I was with Bleach/Death Note day 1. Now I'm older, but I still discover stuff that makes me continue loving this medium. |
 |
| I watched pokemon when I was younger but I didn't know it was anime. My real anime interest started back when I was in high school. I went to anime club to check it out and it interested me. The first anime I watched all the way through was Full Metal Panic and that show sort of started my obsession with anime. |
| Back eons ago, I saw Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball when they were on tv. (I actually saw Astro Boy when I was realllly young, but I didn't know about anime then.) I really got into anime after getting into comics. The comic book stores also sell manga and anime, so it was easy to get into both comics and anime at the same time. I remember buying some VHS tapes from the video store: Record of Lodoss War, Fushigi Yugi, Ranma 1/2. I seem to have mentioned several different things here. Oh well, life is a mish-mash. |
| bcoz of Natsume's Book of Friends <3 |
| Twitter and it's consequences had been a disaster for the human race |
| Well, apart from watching anime in dub on TV while I was younger, my friend suggested anime to me when I was 12 (14 now) and I started searching for more since I enjoyed it. |
 |
| I know most people dont consider it anime but avatar: the last airbender was my gateway drug ;) |
| Dragon Ball , Pokemon .. Bleach .. |
| Anime Lover ForEverz.. ! BELOVED×SURVIVAL  |
| Watched Pokemonz, Digimonz, Cardcaptor Sakura and Monster Rancher when it was originally airing on American TV. But I didn't know what animu was until around when I was watching Inuyasha & Fullmetal Alchemist on Adult Swim. |
 |
| Watched Death Note, Bleach, and Naruto, and then realized there were actually more anime than just the really popular ones. |
| Hentai |
| Well, a long long time ago in high school when my friend gave me a glimpse of Rurouni Kenshin when it was still airing, I was instantly hooked. I bought the entire series and watched it back-to-back. Ever since then (with long breaks in between) I've been trying to watch whatever I can. |
     |
| It all started with Death Note |
| "I wanna be the very best like no one ever was..." obviously Pokemon |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |
| [adult swim] |
| a friend came to us with a ranma 1/2 video and yeah that's it. |

| I didn't get into anime, anime got into myself. |
 |
| Played with some robot toys as usual, then i suddenly saw voltron on some channel.. Never knew for long time what anime is though. |
 |
| Some of my friends made me watch anime. First one I saw was Attack on Titan. Sadly I did not enjoy it as much as I wanted to so that is not really the anime that sold me. My friends recommended Death Note followed by Steins Gate. And after I watched Steins Gate I was sold and started to watch a lot of other shows. (*˘︶˘*) |
| First i saw Ginga Nagareboshi Gin and later Dragon ball Z, after that my cousin and i had more in common so he showed me more :) |

| Naruto |
 |
| The first series I watched that I knew was anime...Inuyasha, of course. I owe a lot to Takahashi-sensei :). I first watched it at a friend's house and my first episode was "Untamed Entei and Horrible Hokudoshi." I loved it and proceeded to binge watch the series over the next few days. I never looked back :) Technically, Pokemon was my first anime series, but I didn't even know it was anime back then. |
 |
| Technically through Naruto from watching it on Toonami, but I wasn't aware that it was an anime through my watching of it. I remember just randomly watching Myself ; Yourself oneday, found out it was anime, then went from there. |

| K-ON |
 |
| Doraemon |
