Two years of serious anime. Been faithfully following Digimon and Detective Conan on TV and VCDs/DVDs, and casually viewing a number of anime titles on TV since I was a kid, however, for about 7-9 years.

I started watching anime on my computer in 2005, possibly 2004. I remember watching all that crap. But I loved it, because I loved anime. And I watched Air as it was airing. Omg D'X

3 years more or less. I started sometime in late-2007 or early-2008. The first anime I started seriously watching was Bleach. I discovered watching anime online with that series and it was also the first manga I ever read too. LOL And because of that I'll try to stick it out with the series to the end. -shakes fist dramatically- xD

First time I watch anime knowing it was 'anime' was in 2003/2004 when I randomly was flicking through channels at night and discovered "Inuyasha". I was hooked, and eventually I got all my friends hooked to InuYasha. So about 7 or 8 years.

Of course like most people I watched Pokemon/Sailor Moon/Digimon as a kid but I don't think that counts as anime since as a kid it was just a regular old cartoon.

I don't really watch it full time like a lot of people here do. I'll watch really good series in a good ol' marathon style like FMA brotherhood but usually I just casually watch anime; watching an episode every few days. Thus why my list is so small for someone watching Anime for 7 years.

Besides growing up with the stuff on Toonami? Well, either when I was 8 or 9 and went out my way to watch Digimon at every oppurtunity or 4 years back when I started watching, gah, Naruto.

Got into Trigun while I was in high school... saw a few more after that which I liked. But didn't really get into the anime scene until about three years ago.

I started to actively watch anime for probably about 8-10 years. I have seen anime when I was elementary school in the 1980s on tv, and in the 1990s on tv and buying the occasional anime movie in the 1990s.

I suppose I have been watching it since the 80s when I was a kid, although I didn't know anything about what was Japanese and what wasn't. I didn't really get into it seriously until 2001 though

late 90s I think. so around 12 or so. Whenever things like Sailor moon, and rurouni Kenshin where shown on cartoon network.

1 year. Definitely excluding DBZ, Pokemon, and Yu-Gi-Oh when I was a kid. Back then, I referred to it as "cartoons", so I don't really think it counts.

Aside from Pokemon/DBZ etc, I started watching anime ~September '09. My brother's friend bought around his Death Note DVDs, I watched them and here I am. I've still got a lot of anime to catch up on which I've missed. :P

I used to watch Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Dragon Ball Z and all those kind of shows as a kid back in the 90s, but I didn't really know what anime was back then, so I guess I have been watching it properly for around three and a half years.

12 Years.

I'm picky and very easily distracted so there are a lot of anime I have seen but have never finished. This is an issue.

Nonetheless, it's the only hobby I have that keeps me sane other than listening to/playing music. :3

I've watched anime throughout my life but not as intensively or passionately as I have in recent time. So I guess you could say I have become an avid fan of anime for about a year now. I don't see myself ever stopping after experiencing anime like my top four.

For about 4 years, but I've watched less anime than some people who have been watching for a year. Proud of my non-nerdiness.

nearly 6 years. Sometimes casually, sometimes intensely, sometimes just on and off.
I call them phases since each time i stop watching anime for about a month i come back to it with a new taste in anime.

I'm currently in an intensive period.

I watched the standard kids' stuff like DBZ and the 'mons, along with Cowboy Bebop when Adult Swim first started, but that was it until the second semester of my freshman year of college, which was late winter/early spring 2009. Summer season 2009 was the first time I ever watched anything as it was airing in Japan (Umineko...MISTAKE).

13 years.

I didn't really watch anime 13 years straight but I watched anime for the first time 13 years ago. My list is pretty small. Reason being I didn't watch enough anime, and I didn't list any anime that I've dropped, or any animes that I've complete but would rate it 7/10 or below.

Counting from the very first time I've watched anime, would be around 18 years maybe? All i remember is I've been watching Doraemon ever since I was 3, and my local TV aired quite a number of decent kids anime back then. But counting from the time I started to watch lots of anime like now, it would be less than 2 years.
