| My friend kept begging me to watch either JoJo or Hunter x Hunter. So I decided to give Attack on Titan on try. (yes you read that right) |

| I thought my roommate was a nerdy ass weeb until I watched attack on titan. A year later I'm almost at 60 days on mal. |

| I'm typical, I watch anime because I grew up on it. I watched Dragonball, Pokemon, Digimon, Yugioh, and other shows like it when I was a kid, not knowing it was a separate medium. I became aware of what it was in high school, and that's when I actively started watching it knowing what the medium was, starting with the original FMA, and Death Note |

What animes have become your favorite since starting? As of now, FLCL and this niche show ACCA: 13 are by far my favorites based on the story, but for comedy it would be "Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou." the comedy in that show was next level because of how relatable it was. |

| I watched Death Note and than Claymore before travelling to Japan, and since then I became addicted. |
| I shit you not, it was at the end of 2008, when Soul Eater was at its highest peak in popularity. I was watching random videos on YouTube and I stumbled upon Soul Eater's opening. I loved it so much, but I initially thought it was a fanmade animation (it was in the recommended videos of some Newgrounds animation). After a couple of weeks of constantly rewatching it YouTube finally started recommending me stuff like Soul Eater AMVs and episode clips. At that moment I found out that Soul Eater was actually a cartoon. I watched it all, I loved it, and I found out about Japanese animation as a whole. |
Your favorite anime is cringe. My favorite anime is a masterpiece.  |

(yes you read that right) Did you ever go back and watch JoJo or Hunter x Hunter after watching Attack on Titan? Yeah, I watched Hunter x Hunter later and loved it, unfortunately I only watched the first season of JoJo, I just couldn't get into it. |

| I started watching ANIME as kid,I begin watch naruto,BLEACH and over anime,today I watching FMA and DRAGON BALL gt |
 |
| When I was a little kid, one of my first anime series was Sailor Moon. I don't know exactly why I used to like it, but it was awesome for me. Later I discovered Cardcaptor Sakura and I was amazed by that. Just like with Rurouni Kenshin, Gundam Wing Zero, Saint Seiya, Dragon Ball, Sakura Wars, Pokemon, Digimon, and so... I don't know exactly or how to explain it well. Definitely, I loved cartoons like Cow and Chicken, Dexter's Lab, Johnny Bravo, Invader Zim, etc. Maybe it was the artworks, the way it was drawn, maybe it was a more "complex" way for storytelling, idk. But, for me, anime is one of the best animation style ever. |
| We are EVERYWHERE... |
| Two friends I made at the beginning of high school who were really, super into Naruto, and I wanted to fit in more with them. All my first anime recommendations came from those two. It's sad that I'm not in contact with them anymore |
| I used to casually watch anime on TV when it was on. I got serious when I started running out of good live action movies to watch. |

| I have watched fujiko fujio shows and pokemon for all my childhood. I knew it was japanese animation so I searched it one day and some shows came up as result. I decided to watch school rumble and I liked it. After that I watched Ouran high school host club and finally fairy tail which got me into anime. |
 "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost." |
| Its embarrassing, but it was actually...SAO(yeah i know it sucks) even though my first anime was actually naruto, but SAO actually became the very gateway for me to start watching anime, not saying it's my fav. though. |
 |
| For me? Well, I was already a pretty huge pokemon fan from a very young age (like 4 or 5), so I used to watch all the pokemon episodes dub and stuff. Now, if we're talking non-commercial anime, then it had to be the mangas I started reading in high school, really. |
| Dragon Ball Z and Saint Seiya after school. It was the year 1996. |
| I would say my brother got me into it, though it took a while to watch other shows. I remember watching Cowboy Bebop and Evangelion when I was young. There was DBZ, Yu-gi-oh and Pokemon, but those first two properly cemented me into anime. |
 |
| My sisters are a fan of the Love Live series and one of them plays SIF a lot. I remember one day, said sister made an account for me on the game, however I never played it that much so I gave her that account (I recently made a new account and got back into the game though). A few years later in early 2017 (mid-March I'm pretty sure) I thought to myself, "Y'know, I should really watch Love Live." So I ended up watching it, and I loved it so much that I started looking for more anime to watch. So yeah, it's basically become one of my hobbies now. |
 |
| Pokemon and Yu Gi Oh. But only after more than 10 years i've started to watch other kinds of anime. |
 |
| I've got into anime thanks to myself and my curiousity |

| As a kid, age 6 or 7, I forget. I woke up early, but there was no point in going back to sleep. I went a turned the TV on, there was an episode of Dragon Ball Z, one of the filler episodes where he was running snake way. After one episode I was hooked, I'd get up early every morning that day onward to see the next episode. Through Dragon Ball, I branched out to different shows and here we are. |
| Same as you, growing up watching pokemon, beyblade and yugioh, even getting teased at my older brothers for watching yugioh was worth it |
| I liked certain anime movies storytelling, and I gradually looked for more stuff to watch. |
| For me it was pokemon when I was really young, my father would even record the episodes on vhs tapes so I could watch it. |
 |
| probably amv's, some have pretty gnarly music in the background so got me interested |
| Watched Pokemon on tv back when I was playing a lot of Pokemon Yellow on the original Gameboy. A few years later started watching Naruto, after that I just started finding anime along the way. |
