I watched some Studio Ghibli films when I was little. Spirited Away was the first one, I think. I did see the first Pokemon movie but didn't like it very much. My parents didn't pay for subscription TV so when we got digital TV it was through a Freeview box. Consequently children's TV in our house was limited to CBBC, CITV, and free-to-air digital channels, particularly Kix! (now called Pop Max) This led to me watching an... unusual selection of anime TV series. I remember watching:

| "The suburbs dream of violence. Asleep in their drowsy villas, sheltered by benevolent shopping malls, they wait patiently for the nightmares that will wake them into a more passionate world." - JG Ballard, Kingdom Come (2006) |
| In my childhood it was thanks to television, every afternoon from Monday to Friday they showed anime and on weekends almost all day, as an adult through the typical pirate pages, currently I use Crunchytoll and Netflix mainly. My first animes were Pokemon, Digimon, HXH1999, YUGIOH, Captain Tsubasa among others |

| I watched a lot of Pokemon and Studio Ghibli as a kid, but one day I decided to give Violet Evergarden a try. It sounded interesting. First time I cried to a show and I was hooked. |

@FZREMAKE Will do! Thanks, and I'll get right on it. Maybe I'll do a review on the entire Fate series as a whole, idk why, but I feel the Fate series is a heavily underrated series and it should be more in the limelight, as I've yet to hate anything about the series at all. I even use to play the gacha game for Fate, but I had to stop due to money issues because Gacha pulls are expensive T_T
| @TheAnimeLogician Many people don't watch it because of the confusing watch order. Once you get past that, it's an interestingly watch. Also, I never payed a single dollar for their gacha games. Used to play with the characters I have. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| I was exposed to the dubs of One and Bleach with dubs when I was a kid. It converted me into a great fan of the new hobby? Present day I may not watch Anime as much as I used too, but I am fine with watching some shows here and there |
| I'm new! |

@BilboBaggins365 That makes sense, only reason why I never feel burnout form anime is because I make anime content; Tierlist, news videos, documentaries, theoretical discussions based on what anime character is stronger or who best girl is?
It's all fun to me and my passion for anime will never die. Soon when I purchase my 4-string bass guitar and my half stack amp I will do anime covers on my channel.

| @TheAnimeLogician Well that's good it's a creative outlet for you. Anime has encouraged me to engage in that more myself at least. I don't think I could avoid burning out on anything frankly, you always need some variety. Though yeah I have wanted to watch more anime than I have of late. |
| When I was a child, I was watching pokemon. Not because it's an anime, but because I was liking it much. Later on, there was someone in my class who was really into anime and manga. I mean, she was only 12 and already having a Death Note. In the library of my school, I've started to read Detective Conan. After some time, I thought it would be cool to watch anime as a hobby, so I've started watching anime with titles such as FMA: Brotherhood, Cowboy Bebop, 11Eyes, To Love-Ru and Samurai Girls. |
| My introduction was a school project.Back in middle school we had something called research work where the teacher would pick a topic every week and each group of students had to do homework based on it. One day, the topic was cartoons from different countries and the one my group got was anime. Now in my case I didn't know what exactly anime was, (besides some I watched on tv as a kid like pokemon,yugioh,dash kappei etc.) so I decided to watch some random titles I found online. One of them was Tokyo ghoul (which I droped it) and Noragami which I completed. After that I kept watching more and more and the rest is history. TheAnimeLogician said: my uncles also introduced me to video games and some of the first video games I got to play were Twisted Metal: Black, World of Warcraft, and Final Fantasy 7. My uncles had a Playstation2 and a gaming pc while I was visiting their house from time to time, and it got to a point where I would ask my mother to drop me off at my uncle's place in order to hang out with them. My brother is the one who introduced me to video games. He is the reason why PS2 games were a big part of my childhood. |
| I found it on cable television way back in the 1990s. |
| My brother is 16 years older than me, and loved anime as a kid. He introduced me to pokemon and sailor moon when I was around 7, and then I never stopped watching anime |
| I knew about anime for some time but was not interested by it. I first got into manga and from there I watched the anime adaptations of my favorite manges, which naturally led to me getting interested in more anime. The rest is History :) |
| Like most of you guys, Pokémon (still to this day my favorite video game franchise) was essentially my "gateway" into the anime world. I watched the Gen 4 anime back when it first aired on Cartoon Network and was immediately fascinated by it. I didn't really get into anime other than Pokémon until February 2020, when I got bombarded by YouTube with random recommendations about True Tears, a somewhat generic romance anime created by P.A. Works. I completed the anime in about two days and couldn't get over the conclusion (best girl didn't win, much to my dismay). Fed up with the way the anime concluded, I decided to rewatch the whole damn thing a few times immediately after completing it in the pious hope that my favorite girl would win somehow ๐น๐น๐น |
