Death Note was my first. Spirited Away was my first anime movie, and I watched that before I watched Death Note. A good series and movie as my beginning. Not bad, not bad.
I mean, I guess Pokemon before those two, but I consider it to be more of a kid's anime and I didn't open up to more anime because of it...

~The frog leapt forth to my lilypad memory.~
I was indoctrinated by an inamorata rabbit,
Adenomata affronted.
It was the verecund, dismissed creatures
That I jubilated in most.
This rabbit I would nurture,
At the aiguille of esse,
The anneal of noblesse.

Pokemon was the first one I saw (late gen 3) but Di Gi Charat was probably the one that got me more into anime.

Trigun way back in 03. I had watched quite a bit of stuff before that, but it was the show that truly brought me into the medium.

I mean if I reallllly want to be technical I'd say dragon ball or sailor moon. But the one that made me actively pursue watching anime for fun was NGE.

Rurouni Kenshin and/or Dragonball was my very first...and it goes way baaaack when I was still 5 or 7. When I hit the teenage mark I stopped watching it.

I got addicted to anime again last year when I watched toradora and AoT

I started watching anime about 2-3 years ago which means in 2013 or 2014. I saw some anime transformations video on Youtube and that was what made me watch anime. But real anime hype came in summder 2015 when I started watching One Piece. After that I became true otaku :D

I grew up around cousins that were all anime fans but I would say Kodocha was my gate. IT'S BEEN YEARS AND I'M STILL STUCK IN ANIMU HELL.
Kodocha's not a great anime but as a kid I thought it was entertaining.

Naruto. Naruto was also the first anime I watched. I have only watched 20 episodes of it as I prefer watching shorter anime.

I watched anime like doraemon , shinchan , digimon , dragon ball and some others when I was young , but after that I became manga-reader only for a long time . I always prefer reading than watching for the same series and I'm too naive at that time .

I thought at that time anime only adapting from manga ,so I didn't bother with it..until some years ago I watch golden time and found out that it is translation from light novel .so , after that I found out more about how vast the source of anime world is xD that what makes me frequently watch anime

As detested as it is, I might not have ever discovered anime had it not been for the 4kids dub of One Piece. I saw a few episodes of the Syrup Island arc when I was seven or eight, I think. Although I watched other cartoons when I was small that I now know are anime (i.e. Transformers Armada/Energon), they never really stuck with me like those few episodes of One Piece did. Around the time I was thirteen or fourteen I thought back and wondered whatever happened with "that one show", and I discovered that anime was a thing through the One Piece page on wikipedia.

From there it was a long road of minor piddling in the medium until I finally ended up starting fresh and binging through One Piece around late 2013/early 2014 and branching afterwards.

One Piece
While I did watch some anime shows before, One Piece was the first one which made me search for more anime after running out of episodes. Thanks to One Piece I found MAL and the recommendations and Fairy Tail and so on :3

I think the first anime I watched in full knowing it was anime was Fruits Basket. The one that lured me whole heartedly was Rurouni Kenshin.

Anime when it wasn't known as anime would be Sailormoon, Dragonball Z, Beyblades, Yu-gi-oh, Cardcaptor Sakura. Whatever was on telly in the morning.

Shingeki no Kyojin. I never really liked anime before because I always thought it's only about blood splashing everywhere and big bouncing boobs. I only watched Pokémon cause I really liked the games. My (ex) bf and I watched Katekyo Hitman Reborn together bc he thought I would like it but I never really got into it. Half a year ago I heard the SnK theme and looooved it and I looked up some video's and decided to watch it. Now I watch anime everyday, thank you SnK, for opening the door to the fantastic anime world x)

I want to know what shows got you into anime. Not necessarily the first anime you ever watched, but the first one that really got you in to anime. I remember watching quite a few anime before I even knew what anime was, but the show that really got me invested in the media was Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.


TTGL is a hit!! Love that one!!

The anime that captured my heart was Inuyasha.
I had always seen it in passing glance when I was a child but my parents would never let me watch it.
That was until I turned 12 and I marathoned it online after catching it on Adult Swim again.
Man, Inuyasha took me on a trip. It was everything and then the Final Act to boot was an amazing conclusion. I still love Inuyasha. It is my favorite anime cause it was the first one I ever loved.

It's a feudal fairytale!!

I have watched various series over the years, mostly because my sister was watching anime in the same room as I was. Some of these series included Death Note & Darker Than Black. I did like these shows but I had other interests at the time so I never put any thought into watching other series.

Earlier this year however my sister watched Ergo Proxy which ignited my curiosity for anime due to its complex plot. I started to realize the potential for good storytelling through anime so I started searching for other series' that I thought that I'd like. Shortly after I stumbled across Code Geass and I absolutely loved it, binge watching both seasons. I haven't looked back since.

As a kid in TV I watched Digimon, Pokemon, YuGiOh!, Rouruni Kenshin, Sakura Card Captor, Captain Tsubasa, Dragon Ball, Naruto and OnePiece.

But the one that made me investigate and get into this world was Naruto. They stopped transmiting it about chapter 20 so I went to youtube and see the 220 chapters of the original series.

I was first introduced to anime from a buddy of mine who was watching kill la kill. I thought it was pretty cool, but that wasn't what got me hooked.

Later, a different buddy of mine showed me Highschool DxD. I watched that and thought it was pretty good so, I started to look for other genres and find more anime to enjoy.

The shows that got me into anime were Chobits, Steins;Gate, and Toaru Majutsu no Index, all of which I watched back in 2013.

I watched Chobits first when it was recommended to me by one of my friends and I enjoyed it enough to want to watch more anime. At the time, the only source of anime I was familiar with was FUNimation so I checked out their YouTube page and ended up finding and watching Steins;Gate, which I loved and it immediately became a favorite, and Toaru Majutsu no Index which, despite not being all that great, I really enjoyed.

About 6 years ago, I wanted to re-watch all Digimon and Yu-gi-oh series, even the un-dubbed ones (Here in Italy Digimon Savers and the last 30 episodes of 5D's were never dubbed and at the time neither Xros Wars nor almost all 5D's and Zexal didn't existed yet). The blog I was using had also links to other "cartoons". One of them had named "Phi Brain: Kami no Puzzle" and here I am.
