| Anime for kids on local networks. Mornings, before I had to go to pre-school. In grade school I discovered more anime in the afternoon still on local TV networks, and on AXN, and Toonami. |
| When I was like 4 years old, I always used to watch Saint Seiya, Dragon Ball or Slam Dunk with my dad. He loves anime too. I didn't like another series if it was not Anime. My dad realized that and he started buying more series for me to watch. Over the years, I never got bored of watching anime. And my father supported me in that sense, we've watch many shows together. And finally, here I am. Still obsessed. |
 |
| Naruto and Pokemon from when I was younger, but this girl from a Pokemon forum got me to watch Hetalia... the bam! I checked out more anime after watching that and got hooked. |
| My friends got me into it, it started with the elementary school Naruto club. lolz |
| I saw Death Note w/ Greek subs and after watching sth related to DN I saw a comment on YT for Code Geass and I saw it by curiosity and I fell in love w/ Geass and started watching animes. That simple. It's almost a year since I saw DN |

| Ive been watching anime without ever realizing it was anime when i was little, but i actually started watching different animes after watching Highschool of the Dead. |
| As kid I been watching stuff like Cowboy bebop, Hunter x hunter, Yu Yu Hakusho etc. It kinda just started randomly! |
| I recall watching Sailor Moon and Pokemon when I was a kid. At the time, I never got into anime. My cousin introduced me and my brothers to Death Note. After that, I got into watching more animes. |
| Stumbled upon Azumanga Daioh somehow one day and loved it. Then somebody on the internet suggested I watch Neon Genesis Evangelion and I was hooked. |
| I watched Sailor Moon and Yugioh as a kid but High School of the Dead was what really got me into anime. |
| Well, I didn't have a lot of friends in third grade but I knew a group of kids who would talk about Naruto all the time so I watched the series to get close to them. It actually worked and those kids were my best friends that year. I used to watch Naruto on Toonami so I got into a bunch of anime thanks to that. They would show Saint Seiya, Pokemon, Naruto and Zatch Bell, in that order. Most of the time Toonami would reset them all at a certain episode so that's when I started watching online and really got into anime. |
| Watched a bunch of anime when I was a kid but I didn't even know it was anime back then.. I guess it started when I clicked a related video on youtube to a 'best moment moments in Rosario + Vampire' or whatever and I thought I had to watch it. I've Been watching anime since then. |
| i'm gonna have to say Fullmetal Alchemist: brotherhood. Adult swim started playing episodes randomly and i wanted to finish the series so i downloaded episodes to my psp, and when that stopped working i found a site online that showed it and other anime. Plus a few of my friends online talked about anime and suggested some good ones to me. |
| I stayed up late one night when I was young and I watched adult swim and they where playing Cowboy Bebop I thought it was a cartoon for adults, so I just started watching other animes because I thought that's what grown-ups did. Ten years later still watching anime. |
| Watched the Dragon ball series a year ago then my brother got me to watch Fullmetal Alchemist in October and then I watched some shit on netflix then started to develop my own tastes. |

| When I was eight years old, my dad brought me to work with him. He had me help rewire a server room (obviously I didn't do much at the time). But it took multiple days and the server room was about 4 hours away from our house so we stayed overnight in the server room (which was frigging cold). We worked during the day, and at nights we watched Macross (my first anime). One of my favorite memories would be of eating pizza in a sleeping bag on the floor of that server room watching macross. I have loved it since. |

| When I was a little kid my mom showed me and my brother her old Speed Racer VHS tapes. |
| OMG Speed Racer! I forgot about that one |
| Well my Onee-chan showed me Trigun...And then I watched Hokuto No Ken on TV..and that's how it began |
 |
| I watched Pokémon and Sailor Moon when I was little, but I didn't know it was anime. Then, in middle school at a book fair, I saw Idol Dreams, it had pink pages, and read it. I got interested in it and wanted to read more, but I can't find any. Then at a public library, I saw Fruits Basket and got hooked on manga. Then I discovered what anime is and got hooked on it too. |
  |
| watched some main stream anime without knowing what anime was as Captain Tsubasa, DBZ, Kinnikuman, Dr. Slump, Doraemon, etc... later I started watching anime with Naruto only and Bleach but just that, without knowing that every season a lot of shows appeared and blablabla. Later one day I checked and tried Elfen Lied, I rushed in 1 morning and I was hooked with anime until now :) |
| When I was a kid, I used to watch Cardcaptor Sakura, Pokemon, and Digimon. I didn't realize that these were called anime... but as a teenager my friend showed me Bleach and although I never watched as many episodes as she did, it got me hooked on anime. From there I went on a journey to discover my favorite animes!! |
 |
| Well this old man gave me a fullmetal dvdRip for free ine day and after watching it I tried to find the old man and ask him where he got it but since i couln't find him i got hooked on anime thinking it would help me find him...True Story. |
| My first experience with anime was watching shows like Pokemon, Yugioh, Sailor Moon, and DBZ when I was a child. I didn't know they were anime though. When I was in the 6th grade my friend gave me a Naruto DVD. I was so hooked on Naruto that I looked it up online and watched all 220 episodes. xD Few years later I got Netflix, and that just expanded my horizons. Now I watch anime online because that's the smart thing to do. xD |
