| Fairy Tail, unfortunately enough. |
 |
| Excluding childhood shows like Pokemon, Digimon etc and Studio Ghibli movies, the one anime that made me start watching anime as a hobby and on a regular basis was Naruto. This was in 2006. As soon as i discovered that there were more anime to watch online i immediatly dropped Naruto. |
| It was Attack on Titan and Sword Art Online. Watched them both in the same weekend. |
| Pretty sure it was Death Note. Good gateway anime. |
| When I was little I watched Pokemon, Naruto, Yugioh, Beyblade...yeah. But what brought me to watch anime more would be Naruto Shippuden and Death note, classic. |
GiReibun said: Lol it was my first anime too, I still have its CD. No comment xD.My first anime ever was Tokyo Mew Mew, I still cringe when I think about that show lol. |
| My first was Sakura Card Captor when I was quite young ^^ However, I've started to binge watch Anime with Toradora some month ago xD |
| L・Ψ・≅ |
| Back in 2007 when I was watching Naruto. I couldn't get enough of it. After that it was one ecchi harem after another and it just kept going on and on and on and... |
| For me it was Steins;Gate and Death Note. Hooked since then. |
 |
| Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. Before that I think I watched Mermaid Melody when I was little and kids at school were super hyped about the manga Naruto in grade 3. But I never got into it till FMAB. |
 |
| naruto showed me the real door after tons of faliures from the effort of princess tutu, vampire knight, avatar, beyblade, pokemon, yugioh... thats it! ah yes i was not even aware of what anime was until then. |
| Sonic X is basically an isekai |
| I used to believe all anime was trash. Until I discovered Detective Conan |
| The first anime I really liked that I knew was "anime" was Clannad & After Story. My timing was such that I watched the final episode or two of After Story as it aired. The anime that really pulled me into the medium a few years ago was One Piece, though. |
| Monster <3 <3 The first cartoon I ve watched on PC was Avatar the Last Airbender. |
 Kawaii,Kaori ! |
| Naruto is definitely what got me into anime a few years ago but I used to be a pretty big fan of Yu-Gi-Oh! back in the day. |
 |
| Fairy Tail and Log Horizon were probably the first ones to get me hooked into anime |
| Gurren Lagann <3 The one show that got me into anime as a whole. |
| lol these threads always tell me who else is old XD im from the DBZ, Sailormoon, Pokemon, Digimon days, but it was Pokemon that got me hooked |
   |
| Sword Art Online ironically enough. |
| Think it was Fate Stay Night, back when it came out on Netflix. Which was kinda meh. Kara no Kyōkai/Garden of sinners kept me going. Altough i had (and still have) a giant 'should be watched someday' bookmark list long before i actually started watching. And although i'm a eighties baby/nighties kid myself, i never watched much tv when i was younger. |
| I watched City Hunter at a really young age(I think hmmm...about 3/4 years old?) but just a couple episode because the nudity etc XDDDD But well- the first anime I've watched (the whole series) might be sailor moon & Cat Eyes(also the same mangaka as City Hunter~) |
 |
| Digimon Xros Wars! I watched Shakugan no Shana s1, half of its s2 (i plan to finish it someday) and Ragnarok the animation then quit. About 11 months later i started DXW. Just randomly picked it and started watching, and since then i've never stopped watching anime. |
| It was probably Cowboy Bebop. I remember watching it late at night in my parent's house while no one was home. I was too young to watch it, but the animation had me hooked for a little bit. |
 |
| Pretty cliched answer but Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. In around the 6th grade. Technically got into the manga first and then switched into the anime. Got about halfway through the manga and then started the anime from the beginning. While it was the first one that hooked me completely my first actual anime episode I watched was SAO and the first manga I read was Fairy Tail, but I found these two to be just alright at first, and ended up dropping Fairy Tail pretty early on. Then some of the shows that further cemented me into anime were Clannad, Fate Zero, and Steins;gate. So yeah :D |
| Pokemon and DBZ were the first ones (I think not knowing they were anime), but Bleach is the one that got me really into anime (knowing what it was). |
| Used to watch anime on TV as a kid, so I'd try to caught on to my favorite shows until it got tiring that I'll only watch what's there to see at the time. I learned about anime streaming sites, but never took interest in the first place. When I did become interested, Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai NEXT first caught my attention because of the title. That was before I realized it's the second season of the series. And I just kept going from there later on until now and still is. |
 |
| Well I binged Naruto when I was little, but I'd really consider FMA to be the anime that got me into anime. |
| Other than anime from my childhood: Sakurasou. Weird place to start and I honestly can't remember how I even found it but yeah, Sakurasou :) After that, I watched a ton of romance/school anime, I'm still yet to add them all to my list because I've forgotten whether I finished some of them or not. (This was a year before I created my MAL account). |
| For me it's kind of weird. When I was 18, my friend made a post on facebook about some random thing and someone in the comments wrote something like "The goriest anime I've seen is Blood -c" but in Swedish, after that I watched it and wanted to watch more. After Blood-c, I saw Zero no Tsukaima (all the seasons) and Rosario to Vampire and after that I was completely hooked. |
| toonami, and dragon ball z, my first dbz eep was gohan holding a sheild with piccolo dieing behind him, it was the garlic saga which no that im older relise sucks |
| All the anime aired on toonami in the mid 2000s. So Naruto, Bobobobobobobo, One Piece and DBZ. |
 |
| When I was a child I watched several animes o Tv: Pokemon, digimon, Sakura Card Captor were animes I watched (And I am forgeting some). So, thanks to them and internet I decided to watch more. |
| Original Saint Seiya (1986), back in 1996. |
Fang said: sakurasou is one of my first animes too!Other than anime from my childhood: Sakurasou. Weird place to start and I honestly can't remember how I even found it but yeah, Sakurasou :) After that, I watched a ton of romance/school anime, I'm still yet to add them all to my list because I've forgotten whether I finished some of them or not. (This was a year before I created my MAL account). |
 still life: pink roses |
| I used to watch anime without knowing when I was child like almost everyone like yugi and digimon. Attack on Titan was my first Anime To watch when I have grown up, But the second anime was really the one who made me dig into Anime, it's Clannad. |
 |
| When I was about 5 my dad introduced me to Pokemon; 12 I saw Inuyasha on Adult Swim, and what really got me into anime was Black Cat and hentai. Gotta love them tentacles. <3 |
 |
| The first run of Pokemon got me when I was eight. Then Dragonball Z and Gundam Wing on Toonami hooked me for my teenage years, but when I watched Kill la Kill in 2013 it was the first anime I ever watched an anime from start to finish on a week by week basis. I'm talking I watched it two days after airing and got into seasonal anime and it was all down hill from there. |
| Persona 4 The Animation, had the post anime depression after watching T^T Air was also part of it because of how much I loved the opening theme. |
| Detective Conan. I will always be grateful to Aoyama. |
 |
| i dont like lying so im gonna have to be straight (not in every sense) with you all... boku no pico |
| I really enjoyed Naruto, One Piece, and DBZ as a kid. But like 5 years, I went and watched all of One Piece and that has inspired me to watch even more. |
| Yu Yu Hakusho and Naruto is where I actually started to noticed the difference between cartoons and anime and made me want more |
