If I were to ask, it's because of Shanks from One Piece. Though I've watched some animes before One Piece, e.g. Dragon Ball, Hunter X Hunter, etc., He's the reason why until now I'm still watching anime. At first, I don't like One Piece because I find it kinda boring but when Shanks appeared in episode 4 and got spilled by sake (not so sure if that was sake or beer) I thought he's cool. Though I keep asking myself why the hell he didn't fight back. After that, I saw/heard my most favorite line coming from an anime character. "Listen up… You can pour drinks on me, you can throw food at me… You can even spit on me. I’ll just laugh that stuff off. But… Good reason or not… Nobody hurts a friend of mine." Because of that, I became a One Piece fan and a big fan of Shanks.

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Attack On Titan is the reason why I started watching anime, and then I started watching Death Note and that's when I got addicted to anime.

Because one day while I was looking for porn flash games I found an Outlaw Star hentai game so after doing my "bussiness" I decided to watch the anime. I find it really enjoyable so I started watching many animes after that and now here you have me.

My country's TV channels (RCTI, Indosiar, TV7/Trans7) were the main reason, there were so much anime back then in the TV.

back in 2013ish, i was on another forum, talking to an anime guy. he's all like "oh yeah watch this one anime called clannad" said it was great, and all that other stuff

i looked it up... and somehow ended up watching Kanon first. i don't know how and why, but i managed to

and ever since then, i've been hooked into anime, i guess. since he made such a big impact on me, i wanna do the same to someone else, 'ya know what i mean?

Watched Card Captor Sakura on TV when I was younger. Some people might say that it is strange for a highschool kid to watch anime about a little girl, but it was so good I got hooked, and like anime to this day.

The Sonic the Hedgehog OVA, the artstyle hooked me when I was still incredibly young.

But the first I watched subbed was Death Note, followed by Bleach which was the first that I got actively involved in the community.

I have a brother that's 10 years older than me that liked it, so my earliest memories are video games (Mostly JRPGs) and anime. There was literally never a time that I remember where I wasn't into it. 7-8 was around when I first started watching subbed anime, because I'd watch Fullmetal Alchemist episodes that weren't on TV yet with my brother on his computer.

The reason is one of my friend.
We are passionate of the jrpg and online mmorpg, and we always played together.
One day I learned of Death Note, and knowing that my friend like Anime I asked him if he wanted to watch it with me.
Since then we've done marathons on marathons of Anime.

The moment I saw that, I knew I was about to watch something that would change my life. Decades later, thanks to that I've apparently completed 100 anime.

Apparently I used to hate anything related to anime, but somehow my HS friends convinced me to watch it... and the rest is history? Something like that. I tend to forget my traumatic memories, though, lol.

Watching dubs as a kid got me started, and I continue to watch it because it's pretty enthralling. Maybe it's the fascination of seeing a different culture's take on storytelling, I don't know, but something about it is so damn fascinating.

What is the reason? Simple, I've been watching Anime since the early 90s, and I've always enjoyed it, so why stop now?

Who is the reason? I'd say Captain Harlock was a huge influence on me. I first rented "My Youth in Arcadia" on VHS when I was only 9 years old, and it blew me away.

I would say for me that Pokémon was the start into "liking/knowing" about anime...but I actually started watching anime when a friend showed me Fairy Tail back when I was in the 11th grade.
