When I was 15 years old. The good thing about being born in 2000, is that you age with the years and can track when you started things. I did watch Pokemon as a young child, but I'm not counting that.

Around 13-14 at the start of high school, when the friend group I joined was really into anime, so I looked into it to find out what they were talking about, watched all of Naruto, Soul Eater and Death Note and then ended up going even further down the anime hole than any of them and well.... here we are
that's exactly the same for me expect i didn't watch soul eater

22. Looking at my list now, I believe I more than made up for being late.

I started at 25, so I got a late start (not counting normie ones like Pokemon). I originally got into anime to impress a girl I like.

My fandom for anime is a little obscure. Otherwise I would have a lot more anime on my list today than just 320. Like everyone else born back in the 90's, I watched stuff like DBZ, Pokémon, Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, etc. But then in the year 2000 I started watching anime by Rumiko Takahashi (Ranma 1/2 being the most inspired one) and that is when I felt that I really enjoyed anime a lot. The only thing is, back then I was narrow minded when it came to anime. I would only re-watch Ranma 1/2 over and over (or just watch episodes from the series that I really enjoyed) rather than adding new anime to my list.

It wasn't until around 2011 that I started watching anime by the number, rather than just continuing to watch select favorites from my childhood.

i think i fall into the majority with indirect exposure to anime through pokemon and digimon. Adult Swim's late night anime block eased me in the more serious animes albeit westernized. Later I discovered the manga section in my local library (it was in the asian foreign languages section!).

Well I loved Pokemon and Digimon then later on Shaman King and Ultimate Muscle. I did not know these were anime until I was 16 and it was then that I became obsessed with it cause my friend was watching Rurouni Kenshin on her portable DVD and I was like wow. Then she let me borrow a volume. Thats where it began with me xD

I was probably 13 years old when I found a VHS tape of Eva episodes. I found the rest online and that really kicked it off. Before that it was Ghibli films and 4kids then toonami.

Toonami/ Cartoon Network anime at age 7. First subbed naruto at age 10 with marathon of a few shounen. Funimation channel aired locally when I was 12 and that's when I really got into a lot of different types of anime. Stuff like Beck, Code Geass, Tsubasa Chronicle, xxxHOLiC, Basilisk, Aquarion, Black Cat, Case Closed, Kiddy Grade and Fruits Baskets aired locally and at that time I become interested in finding more anime.

I watched dbz and Pokemon when I was in primary school.
But it wasn't until high school where I made friends with similar interest, and where I became an actual anime fan.
