| Stuff like Pokemon and Dragon Ball Z on TV, then one day I thought "Hey, I'll try watching some online." |
 |
| Watched Death Note with my mate in class. Became hooked instantly. |
| naruto on cartoon network i remember the theme song got me hyped as hell. RICE!!! SEW YO SOCK |
| When I was about 13 I watched Naruto on TV, liked it, so I started reading the manga. Then, I watched Code Geass and some other anime, but I dind't like them that much (except for Code geass) so I stopped watching anime after that. Then I also stopped reading Naruto because I was fed up with the story. About 4-5 years later I was bored, so I started playing a Yugioh video game and then watched some episodes of the newest anime. Then, I decided to rewatch Code Geass and after that I finished watching Death Note (which I left uncompleted for 5 years). Then I watched Steins;Gate and I was finally hooked. Not so straightforward and not so interesting but that's how it happened. |

I was playing an InuYasha hentai flash game and watched the anime thinking it was hentai. It was shit but I decided to watch Trigun on Netflix and it hooked me on anime. Funny how similar our situations are. |

| I got into watching anime regularly after I started watching Bleach. |
 |
| Somewhere around the time Toonami started up and when Pokemanz first came out. |
| Sibling influence. Sadly, I'm the only one of my brother and sister that watches anime anymore. |
| Dragon Ball Z influenced my art style, but what really got me into anime were the shows that, dare I say, 4kids aired every Saturday like Yu-Gi-Oh!, Shaman King, Sonic X, and One Piece along with whatever adult swim aired that night too (Inuyasha is the only one that comes to mind). |
| Used to watch pokemon, yugioh, shaman king and dbz. Stumbled upon naruto when watching dbz on youtube. Started watching it not sure if I would like it, but then my friend said he watched naruto to, and the rest is history. |
 |
| I saw the stuf on Cartoon Network and 4Kids growing up. Then I moved to an area soo new there wasno cable, so we went to the library for entertainment and I found manga. Through Fruits Basket Idiscovered the fUNimation block channel,and then the anime on Youtube . .. and it kept going from there. |

| One day I was like, hey, I really want to watch a cartoon and there you go |
 |
| One of my friends was talking about this anime named Inuyasha, and I decided to give a try. Pretty weird to think that I got hooked to the medium back then , considering it was a decent show at best. |

| Well, I think it stared in my childhood. Watched Pokemon, Digimon, Dragon Ball und such cause they were televized. At some point a couple years later I watched death note as a friend recommended it. After that I was completely into anime. |
| My parents watch anime everyday... there's no way I won't get interested |

| Had nothing to do around a year ago. Surfing on youtube and found Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-Chan by a mistake. LOL my ass out. Then Found Clannad together with after story. Marathon it and got hooked. |
| I was browsing a hacking forum, when I stumbled across their anime section. Found Fullmetal Alchemist, and got hooked from there. |
| One night while furiously discussing the Mass Effect 3 ending someone posted this page. It's TvTropes, are you really surprised it ended up landing me here? |

| my cousin introduced me to naruto, and that was my first taste of anime. so I'll always have a special place in my heart for naruto. After that, I started getting into more romantic and slice of life kind of stuff. |
| my first animes I've seen on TV (sailor moon, inuyasha, cowboy bebop) and when I had a computer with internet I started to see them online |
| My ex wife and I used to stay up all night and eventually we started watching Bleach, Inuyasha, full Metal Alchemist, Fooly Cooly, and stuff like that. We would go to the library and I found out about Manga, but with it being a library, they might have vol 1,2,4,6,7 of a particular Manga, so I had to expand and read bits and pieces of different ones instead of completing them. It lead to me to buy us our own Manga. Then I realized that they had DVDs at the library and rented Ranma 1/2 and Beck, and we watched those, which lead me to buy more Anime. I gave it up for a while to get my life back together after we seperated but recently I've gotten back into it and have been watching complete series one after another whenever I get time. |
| My interest in anime first started in 2003, back when Fox had their Saturday morning "Fox Box" block and eventually expanded towards Toonami. Looking back on those times, there are quite a few series that I never fully completed or just lost interest in, namely Naruto, Zatch Bell, and Inuyasha. Aside from those series, I remember getting early on Saturday mornings and waiting patiently for Sonic X and Kirby Right Back At Ya!. But I think after Toonami croaked in 2008 and Naruto went off the air, I lost all of my interest in anime. Despite that fact, I never expected that I eventually would return to the medium in 2010 and get to the point where I am now. One of these days, I'm thinking of watching Naruto, even if it is just for nostalgia. So how did you become interested in anime? Was it the result of Saturday morning blocks (like me)? Were you one of those people who was able to experience Toonami in its prime? |
