2010s. K-On and CGDCT in general in the beginning, new gen shonen era starting in mid-'10s...
It's kinda easy to communicate with the other generations, since the shows are likable by many.

| @KitsuFrost Do you mean an adaptation of then-new Shonen Jump hits like Kimetsu no Yaiba? |

| In your groupings I'm the oldest group and smallest; but it's only people who respond that thread, not necessarily the whole site. I think the site trends younger. But I would move the "Yuri boom" to the 10s and "boom of isekai " to present 2020s. And I pray the isekai thing is over and done with before the end of the decade. |

| @SuperAdventure I've been chastising yuri boom since we started getting 3-4 shows every year, including 3-4 shows in this season alone this year. |

| 90s to mid 00s, the era of Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell, Yuu☆Yuu☆Hakusho, Pokémon, Digimon, Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and many others. Most of the anime that I first discovered as a kid were anime that first aired in Japan in the 90s, but they didn't air where I live until around the late 90s and mid 00s. Watching anime on my old 90s TV instead of watching on my laptop/smartphone was a pretty special and interesting experience for me too. As a kid who was always told to sleep early, I remember sneakily opening the TV late at midnight to watch anime, since that’s usually around the time when good anime gets shown on Toonami and Adult Swim. |
| 10s, though I did grow up watching anime in the 00s. Was one of those nerds who traded fansubbed .avi files with friends and watched shows in parts on YouTube. |

| @LoveLikeBlood Ah, avi and mp3. I never thought these terms would make me nostalgic. |

| I got into anime with Saturday morning cartoons in the 2000's era, back when I had no idea the difference between eastern and western animation. Some personal favorites of mine from back then were Yu-Gi-Oh!, Dragonball Z Kai, and Dinosaur King (JP) as well as MagiNation (CA) and Chaotic (US). |
| Being born in the late 80s the 2nd option is the one that better represents me, though I can still feel partially identified with the 1st one too; I had already been watching some 70s-80s anime series before the DBZ/Sailor Moon/Pokemon boom took the world by storm. |
| I started in the mid 1990s with Dragonball Z, Robotech, and some random movies on the Sci-fi channel like Iria: Zeiram the Animation and Green Legend Ran. |

| @RobertBobert Yes, the 10s were a significant transition between two different generations of weebs. In SoL, shonen and many other genres. |

| @KitsuFrost I didn't watch any seasonal shows between 2012 and 2015, so it was a big revelation for me in 2016 to learn how many really meaningful shows came out during those years. |

| 10s, but before the isekai boom. i would say i started watching anime somewhere around 2013-2014, the moe/cgdct craze was the main big thing, and we still had remnants of the battle shonen mania |
 I AM THE ONE CALLED POWER! How foolish and conceited these humans be... |
| 2000s gang here, start with Dragon ball, Naruto, Sailor Moon and Bleach |
| 00's. I started watching anime around 2007 or 2008 (if you don't count stuff I didn't know was anime before that, like Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh!). Very little anime aired in my country before streaming services showed up, so I mostly got into it due to friends at school and online friends at that time. I do have a soft spot for old anime though, I love the cell animation/hand drawn style of 80's and 90's anime even if the majority of those were before my time. |
| Definitely part of the Generation which saw the first Airings of Japanese Productions in Europe, in the late 70s/early 80s. Unfortunately, this option is missing in the poll, so I had to go with the 80s/90s instead. |

| 90s-2000s, though as a child I was watching some 80s anime that were shown on our local tv network. |
| Forum set + pfp by my aibou Rin. <3 |
| I was first exposed to anime in the early 2000s when It aired in our local networks. Mostly Anime produced by Nippon Animation. Shows like: - Meitantei Conan - Dragon Ball - Hunter X Hunter - Naruto - One Piece - Yugioh - Grendizer - Heidi, Girl of the Alps - Mirai Shounen conan - Takarajima - Akachan to Boku - Arabian Nights Sindibad no Bouken - Mitsubachi Maya no Bouken - Kazoku Robinson Hyouryuuki - Ie Naki Ko Remy - Princess Sara - Romeo no Aoi Sora - Doreamon |

| Dammit, missclicked and chose another option that the one I wanted. Late 90s, so a mix between options 2 and 3. Aware of anime? Watchin InuYasha on YouTube, latin american dub, three parts per episode, sometimes no op and/or ed, 240p, you know the stuff. |
| They used to show anime on TV when I was a kid. Watched it around 2005 - 2008 iirc. A little too late for Sailor Moon, but they'd still rerun Detective Conan, Digimon and Pokémon alongside random magical girl anime. Lots of reruns from 1999/2000s. |

I started watching shows like Pokemon and DBZ during the tail end of the 90s, but I didn't really get into watching anime until the 2010s, so I guess that's the group I most relate to.

| 10s! i started watching with the original pokemon when it got added to netflix due to curiosity, and started watching whatever i could off of the platforms available to me. i would say my definition of an essential would be something you find appealing. does this particular title have interesting character designs? does what you know of the plot interest you? i think it's really important to give it a try if it does, you never know if you'll like it until you try. i didn't think i'd be that interested in pokemon until i watched it after all! |
 |
| Erm the first anime i really got into came out mostly came from the 2000s but most shows i've seen are from the 2010s so i guess i kinda "grew up" with them through that era. |

| 90s. DBZ, Pokemon, Digimon and Sailor Moon were some of my first animes back in the day |

| @Zetsu_95 What Digimon series did you watch? |
 Code Lyoko, we'll reset it all Code Lyoko, be there when you call Code Lyoko, we will stand real tall Code Lyoko, stronger after all |
| I was born in the early 2000s And started anime from around 2012 Back then my first anime were dbz, doraemon, shinchan, hattori, beyblade metal and bakugan I started out pokemon around 3 years later (iirc there was unova airing on one channel, kanto on another one and kalos was airing from japan) |
 |
| My favorite decade for anime would be the 00s, there so much good that I very often enjoy go back and revisiting. But I don't mind at all watching what's currently airing, there's always some great show no matter what decade you're in! |
  MAL is the perfect place to shit talk about people's opinions. |
| Anime is not mainstream. Ask 100 people to name 5 Steven Spielberg films, and then ask 100 people to name any anime director and you will see what i mean. I would love for it to be more popular because that means more people would share my interests, but it just isn't. |
| Message me for Fate/ information |
| Shows I consider fundamental to my peers would be the big 3 Bleach, OP, Naruto so I chose 00s even though for me personally my era was late 00s to early 10s. My interest grew slowly since childhood as I grew up with anime before I knew it was anime, and then got interested in manga because of influence from my peers which later pushed my interest to anime even more. I still keep up with new anime so usually just talk about the newer anime with my sister that's a decade younger than me. |
| Mostly, the 90's and 00's are my favorite to watch. I grow up with Sailor Moon and Pokemon. Then I discovered Naruto and Inuyasha. |
| animes played different roles in different points in my life but its been there from the start but my golden age was 2015-2019 |

@Zetsu_95 What Digimon series did you watch?
| @MoonBunny9297 The very first Digimon, the older movies and 02. |
|
| I like to call myself a "90s kid" even though i was born in 98. But in terms of animu, definitely 00s. |
