| A few series share the honour. I grew up on Dragonball, Yu Gi Oh and Robotech as well as the manga of Detective Conan and Ironfist Chinimi. That being said, my appreciation for anime as a medium was sparked by an episode of the Black Jack OVA that I stumbled across while channel surfing when I was just 11. |
Take care of yourself |
| D.Gray-Man got me invested into anime as a whole. Still one of my favourite manga and anime series. |
 |
| After much pestering of my sister and friends, I finally started to pick up on some shows that I found were interesting and recommended. I watched these at about the same time: Attack on Titan, Death Note, Death Parade, and Kuroko no Basket. I'd say Death Note was the one that really brought me in. I was hooked afterwards. |
  A simple feeling that I can't seem to shake Oh my love, you drive me crazy in the loveliest way I stay up, all night just thinking bout' the things that you say I call your phone and hope to hear your voice and all over again I am in love... Make me fall in love why don't you Just make me fall in love again I can't deny it I'm in love In love... in love... in love... ♪ |
| When I was a kid I watched a lot of Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z, Saint Seya and Yu Gi Oh, but what brought me to anime in general was Naruto. Here in Brazil the anime wasn't complete so I searched for it on the internet and started reading it's manga. I am happy that it was Naruto, I still like it. |
| DBZ, Doraemon, when I was sooo little, but DEATH NOTE is what really brought me to anime world. |

| Pokemon, YuGiOh, and Dragonball Z kind of played on the TV in the background when I'd hang at my childhood friend's house at a really, really young age, but I didn't start streaming episode after episode of a show on my own time until Shugo Chara. |
 |
| I've been watching naruto and onepiece since childhood. But i just really like anime after watching Clannad After Story. |
| Dragonball and Naruto from childhood, then Katekyo Hitman Reborn to make me wanting more and more watching anime. |
 |
| It was March 2013 that i found and started to watch Mashiro Iro Symphony and GJ Club on my TV, and after that 2 series ended i started to search more anime on the internet and here i am now. |

| Bleach in the Youtube recommendations, or was it FMAB when someone included ED 2 in their cartoon? |
| Deen's /stay night, still love the ost. |
| Shingeki no Kyojin what made me give a chance to more anime. Before that, I only watched/read the Ginga series and other Yoshihiro Takahashi's works and stayed away from other anime/manga. |
| I didn't have much idea about animes. But my friend recommended me Death Note and, well I really felt that I was missing a lot. Later, Steins Gate and Attack on Titan pushed me more into animes world.  |

| Simple, it's Naruto! I had been watching Pokémon, Dragon Ball and Doraemon beforehand from my childhood days but really at that moment anime was just mere cartoons for me. Until of course I stumbled across Naruto and then never really looked back on animes. Currently, I'm somewhat a shut-in who aspires to spend as much time possible watching animes. |

| My first anime was Girls und Panzer, i found it accidentally and then continued watching others too |
 |
| I stumbled into the anime world on accident hahaha. I was sick in 4th grade and my mom made my sister and I rent books from the library every week. I asked my sister for a captain underpants book or something similar. She came back that evening with a manga... called Fruits Basket. It was a random volume and I had no idea what was going on in the story so... I looked it up and turns out there was a show. At that moment... I walked into the world and anime and have not returned. |
| Dragon ball Z, One Piece, Naruto, FMA, bleach, Eureka 7. After watching these on TV and the ones that aired on Toonami/Adult swim I needed More |
| Dragon Ball Z and Rurouni Kenshin (especially for the soundtrack) |
| I used to watch pokemon, digimon, bakugan, deltora quest, beyblade and mirumo de pon when they aired on TV when I was about 3-4 maybe? I didn't like dbz though. When I heard about sailor moon crystal, since its trailer was on the centre page of youtube. I loved it however I didn't watch the anime. I looked for something similar until I found a fanart of madoka magica. I liked magical girls so I decided to watch it. And loved it. |

| It depends. I first started watching Bleach with my older brother back in the day. But back then I'd only watch anime with my older brother, and very sparingly. Technically that was what first unstigmatized anime for me. After seeing SAO with him, I started watching some anime independently, but only a few shows. By then I was pretty much the average casual viewer. When I really started getting into anime though was when I started watching Erased. Even though the show (the ending especially) wasn't great, it still had me by the reins for a long time. It made me realize the potential of great anime, something previous shows I'd watched failed to do. From there I became a serious fan of anime. |
| It was Attack on Titan. Spend the entire night from midnight to the morning to watch the whole season 1. It did a good job of disproving what I initially thought anime was, since I thought the only shows that anime had to offer were more slice of life shows that I wasn't pulled in by. |
| dragon ball, one piece and Naruto and some other shows that used to air on an arabic channel called spacetoon when i was a kid but then i stopped watching. i started watching a lot of shows again after watching death note, AoT and FMA:B in 2015. |
| I watched a few series when I was little (Doraemon, Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball,...) but I never thought much about it. Naruto was the first show I actually followed with genuine interest, but it didn't make me want to look for more of the same genre afterwards. The first anime that actually took me into the anime world was Vampire Knight, and Elfen Lied sealed the deal soon after that. |
| Katekyo Hitman Reborn brought me to anime. I got addicted to it and thought the characters was so badass, like when weak Tsuna transform into his badass self with flames on his head and his serious orange eyes; and Kyouya too, he's like the epitome of badass. But when I started watching more better action anime like the first (1999) Hunter x Hunter, I started to think that KHR wasn't even that good after all. After that I discovered more shit on Youtube; yes Youtube. That was my first site for streaming (mirrored) anime. |
 |
| A manga called A Town Where People Live (or something like that...) which eventually led me to Clannad and The Familar of Zero. I never really saw anime on TV other than the yearly Halloween airing of Spirited Away. |

| I grew up watching Pokémon and Digimon but I think it was Sailor Moon (the 90's version) that brought me back for good years later (2013 I think??) |

| My first animes were sailor moon and dragon ball z, but I think what got me in was because of Inuyasha's ending songs they were super catchy lol |
| Death Note was the first one I watched, but I didn't really feel hooked on to anime after just that one. then I watched HS of the Dead and Elfen Lied and I was just so fascinated how the industry is so beautiful it can make something as great as DN, and then also something that's just like ????? like HS of the Dead |
| On my childhood, its initial d and cyber formula, also inuyasha, back in early 00s I watch back anime after i watched danshi koukousei no nichijou and anohana |
| Life isn't as fun and easy as anime. Watch anime to bring that fun!! |
| Used to watch the dubbed versions of Doraemon, Shin-chan and Pokémon when I was young, but I didn't recognize them as shows made by Japan. The first time I watched an anime which I recognized as anime, it was Detective Conan. Probably got through the first hundred episodes and gave up because it was so long. Death Note got me hooked to anime, and from there, I watched Shingeki No Kyojin, Cardcaptor Sakura, et cetera... |
| FMA:B, death note, AoT and ergo proxy brought me back to anime. |
| dragon ball is what started me into anime |
| Before I know "Anime" : - Idaten Jump - Law of Ueki - Pokemon - Bakugan - Captain Tsubasa - etc After I know "Anime" : 1. SAO 2. AOT 3. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (glad with this one) |
