I used to watch Chinese cartoons that happened to be anime since 2003

But if we're talking about “being into it”, then since April 2019 with AOT. Then I lost my interest after 7 months of watching anime nonstop (I used to finish two whole ass anime a day), took a break for a couple of months and came back to watching anime, since late 2020. Now I don't watch it excessively, but I'm still into it.

16 years, I only joined MAL less than two years ago, since I was slowly getting back into watching anime when I stopped 11 years ago.

4 years. Used to be passionate of anime but losing interest rn, especially since I've been satisfied by knowing nasuverse exist.

Before it I used to watch the dub version that was broadcast on TV (DB, YOGIOH, Beyblade, etc)
Used to watch seasonal anime each ep. weekly, but now I just wait until the it finish and watch it whole.

Since late 2012 I think (I'm here for my vet card). Decided to try it out because I kept seeing One Piece posts online. I went through it like a hot knife on butter. 11 years and hundreds of shows/movies later, I'm still here. Got burned out around late 2010s but came back. I probably underplay how important it's been in my life.

Over 8 years, started in 2015 summer. Used to watch a lot at the beginning, but after a while burnouts tended to happen, so was watching less, especially after mostly finishing my PTW list.

I started actively watching around 2017-2018 until 2022 just because I kinda watch all of the anime that I wanna watch. I do comeback every now and then, binge for a week then feel burn out then repeat. I still do watch seasonals tho since its not too time consuming

I would say either 8 or 9 years because I rediscovered my interest in anime in 2014 with Parasyte and Akame Ga Kill on Toonami, but it was in 2015 when I really began binging series and watching anime consistently.

If I didn't count anime kids shows that I watched on TV, probably it's around 2010 that I started delved further into anime. So, it's been 14 years and still counting huh? Time surely fly fast.

I was really excited when I just started my anime journey, I used to watch anime like a maniac during those years. It's kinda funny that I never really get any burnouts, it's just became a part of my life.

Even though I no longer watch anime like crazy nowadays, it's just because I ran out of good anime to watch and being busy with other stuff.

I first started watching anime in 2015 in in my high school freshman earth science class. I'll never forget it. Idk how much earlier it occurred, but I distinctly remember seeing an add on YouTube for Parasyte, and thought "Wow this looks sick, but I'll probably forget about it" and i did LOL. but due to the nature of the show i was able to easily find it by googling best horror anime or something. so yeah, Parasyte was my very first anime i watched (not counting pokemon and stuff like that xd) way back in 2015. i of course have gone through burnouts, lasting up to a year or something. But yeah the past like 5 years have been pretty consistent, with the burnout phases lasting no longer than 2 or 3 months. Man, I love this medium. :)

I watched my first animes in 1996-1997 but didn't know they were "anime". If you count Sailor Moon and Ninja Scroll, Fatal Fury etc. I didn't know they they were "japanese anime" I was so young. Back then your average joe wasn't into this stuff. Usually it was asian kids and nerds. You were considered a "loser" or male nerd if you were into this stuff.
Funny how times changed. Now I meet 30 year old women who are into anime. Its crazy how much "the scene" changed in the last decade or so.

But I "officially" began watching them seriously with full consent(lol) around 2005. I saw Berserk and I was sold... I'd go on something called MIRC chat and type something and it would download what you wanted. I was in heaven...until torrents appeared. Torrents changed the game lol

Yeah I'm old lol

How many years? Nearly all of them. I've been into anime ever since I found out about it as a toddler.
