| K project. I hardly understand the story, but the husbandos characters, animation, and bgm was beautifully overwhelming that i decide to watch more anime to get the same feeling. |
| Akira, from the discount shelf. Just bought to test my new DVD player, didn't care for the content initially. And then my mind got blown. |
 |
| Death note or Attack on titan i don't really remember. |
| A friend of mine made me watch Black Butler and if I remember correctly that was in August of 2016. Next thing was Youjo Senki which I watched as it aired then I made another "break" which lasted until Jully of that year and that's when I watched Fullmetal Alchemist. After that one, I just couldn't stop. |

| I did watch Pokemon and a few episodes of Naruto on television when i was young, but i think my anime addiction started when i saw an episode of DBZ on television. I didn't really know much about the show, i didn't even really know that Dragon Ball was a series. I only knew about the DBZ games since i played them on my old PS2 with friends. But i was intrigued, and binge-watched the whole series. I figured out that DBZ was an anime, and i started searching on Youtube to find other series to watch. I might have watched something before that, but my memory is fuzzy so that's the earliest point i remember before watching tons of anime. |
| Elfen Lied, Higurashi, Love Hina etc.. |
 |
| Death Note, Baka and Test, and Akuma no Riddle. |

| I think it was around new year 2018 (when this account was made). I had just seen a playthrough of “Doki Doki literature club” on YouTube (when the game was on its height of popularity), and I enjoyed it so much I decided to watch something similar to that game, like a psychological high school anime. I decided to watch Watamote, a simple, yet good comedy and social commentary. During the first half of 2018 I mostly watched school dramas with psychological themes, and sadly, I can’t find any more promising shows like this anymore. |
| Bleach Already watched a few episodes on TV when I was a child, then I decided to finish the anime when I was 16 |
| It was nichijou, i remember how one day i stumbled on a youtube video of a nichijou clip and sine i watched the vid i got more nichijou stuff i my recommended, so one day i just decided to watch the whole thing. |
 |
| The original Dragon Ball in 2014. Oddly enough, my first ever exposure to the Dragon Ball franchise was the abridged series circa 2010. |
| Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows. REST IN PEACE KENTAROU MIURA |
| Mine was Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo back when I was 11 |
 |
| For me the 1st one was BLEACH. I have seen many before that, but not knowing that they were Anime. So BLEACH started my Anime watching ride back in Nov 2010. |
 |
| I guess it was Itazura na Kiss but I hated it so I couldn't finish it. Then I started Hajime no Ippo but I dropped that too. Later I did the same with Naruto. The first anime I watched AND completed was probably Death Note. Or Kimi ni Todoke. I watched them around the same period but it has been a long time so I forgot which one I finished first. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| sword art online was my first, corpse party was my second. |
| Kuzurete yuku maeni I'm pulsing, my blood is red and unafraid of living Beginning to end |
| First anime I watched fansubs of was Naruto. This was in... March 2003 or so. I was 14 at the time. However, I was already an anime fan before then... and watched plenty of stuff on TV and DVD, but you said that stuff doesn't count. I feel like I already had an appreciation of anime from stuff like DBZ, Cowboy Bebop, and Ghost in the Shell, as well as a lot of 90s Movies and OVAs that were aired on the Encore Action channel. I do suppose Naruto is the show that led me deeper into anime fandom, though... just by the advent of it introducing me to the concept of fansubbed shows posted online, which in turn led me to discover fansubs of other series airing around that time such as Gantz, Paranoia Agent, xxxHolic, Genshiken, Hellsing, Vandread, Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi, Green Green, BECK, Bobobo, Monster... as well as shows from before then, such as The Legend of Black Heaven, Golden Boy, Love Hina, Oh! My Goddess. That was a time where I could always find enjoyment in any show I found. Nowadays, anime has changed so much, and it's really much more difficult to find the type of shows I enjoy, and often times they're not even as enjoyable as the shows I enjoyed back then. Maybe it's just nostalgia, or maybe it was just teenage innocence, I'm still not sure... things just seemed more well-made at that time, for the most part. I even bought DVDs of some of these shows back then, just because I loved them so much and wanted them in the highest quality possible (at the time). Eventually, this heavy teenage love of anime culminated around mid-2007 or so, with me buying DVD after DVD of Eureka Seven, a series which I liked, but was one of the first anime series that I felt had some flaws... Also, I remember watching some first episodes of stuff like Air Gear, Witchblade, R.O.D. the TV, and Queens Blade, thinking they were all a little disappointing. And this is where I mark that my love of anime began to die... This is also around the time that I stopped watching Naruto Shippuden. Yet, I kept buying those Eureka Seven DVDs just to own them, just to collect them, because I had bought the starter box and just wanted to fill it with the rest of the DVDs as they came out. After I finished buying them, though, I really had to take a hard look at myself as an anime fan, and it led to me severely limiting the amount of anime I watched for a few years, only really checking out a few first episodes, as well as a few episodes of the Shin-chan dub when it came to Adult Swim, as well as re-watching DBZ when it aired as Dragon Ball Kai, a few episodes of Sonic X, just to see what it was like and see if I missed out on anything, and continuing to watch a whole lot of Detective Conan. I had a couple of summers there where I was mostly just binge-watching Conan day in and day out. In 2010, I began watching all of the Kara no Kyoukai movies, which I thought were pretty good, but still not as good as the anime that I used to watch. Then, after seeing a trailer for Panty & Stocking, and seeing how cool it looked, it gave me a drive to try and get back into anime. So, I watched Highschool of the Dead, which was decent for what it was, and Heroman, which... was hot garbage and almost ruined me on anime again as a whole. Thankfully, Panty & Stocking gave me a boost of anime love again, showing me that good, unique shows were still being produced, and that I shouldn't give up on anime after all. For the next few years after that, I kept watching Detective Conan, but I couldn't find much of anything else that I liked, and my love of anime began to wane again, this time mostly focused on a distaste for modern anime... so I didn't watch much, mostly limiting myself to older stuff and really noteworthy stuff like Ghibli films. I discovered a website called Toonami Aftermath, where they would stream old shows that aired on Toonami 24/7, and I started to spend a lot of time there... and I also watched the re-launch of Toonami in 2012, but didn't much care for Deadman Wonderland or Casshern Sins. In 2013, Attack on Titan came out and it made me fall in love with action shonen series all over again, and made me realize just how incredible looking digital animation can be when done right, and prompted me to start trying to watch some more modern anime. At the end of 2013, I watched Kids on the Slope, since I was a fan of Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo, and wanted to see what the creator of those shows could do nowadays. I absolutely loved it. Around the same time, I was watching the original Yu Gi Oh series from 1999, as I had just heard of it. Then, in early 2014, I decided I was officially starting to get back into anime and made an account on MAL... Ever since then, I've become a full-fledged filthy otaku weeb and watch way more anime now than I ever have before. Sorry for this becoming as long-winded as it was. I just got carried away with recalling my history with anime, as well as the 6-year-gap between 2007 and 2013 where I kept running into bad anime that even caused me to doubt that I was an anime fan at all. |

::End of Transmission:: What have I been watching? Click here and find out on my viewing blog, "Vigorous Viewing" |
| Technically my first was Special A, but I ended up dropping that. Azumanga Daioh counts as my first completed show back in 2015 or 2016ish. I remember binging a whole ton of SOL shows after that considering I enjoyed it so much. |
| Legend of the galactic heroes. Started today as an otaku |
| shingeki no kyojin, though I did watch naruto shippuden online but that's mostly because of watching naruto on toonami |
| sic mundus |
| Sword Art Online Damn it was heavenly at the time but after I rewatched parts of it recently I can definitely see why its hated but I'm still a fan. |
| Oh god lets see my gateway was Love stage. My ex wanted to teach me about yaoi so she and i watched that together. After that I watched Jun Jo Romantica Erased and then Ben-to. |

DavidAlejandro said: Well, if you didn't understand yet let me explain more detailedly, tell me the first Anime you watched when you "turned into an otaku", the first Anime that you searched for it online to watch. When i was younger i watched Dragon Ball Z, but a couple years ago i searched from Dragon Ball Super, so i dont really know the answer because Dragon Ball was really my first, but its also the first ever tv show i watched So Dragon Ball Super. |
| Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagan,Darker than Black,Attack On Titan and Air Gear...i loved every moment |

| Naruto is kind of in the line cause I watched a part of it on TV and then watched some episodes of Shippuuden online when it started airing. But the first anime I completed fully aware what anime was is Death Note. |
  Stepped out from the darkness I contained in me. Released myself form the shackles I helped create. I've got the power of life in my hands, and I intend to keep it. My life has meaning after all. ♠ |
| First anime make me love anime is Shakugan no shana |

You son of a .. turtle  |

| One of my cousin showed me the first episode of Highschool of the Dead a 7 years ago. Wasnt a big fan of it at first and didnt bother to try anime but then, 2 years later, someone i used to work with told me to try Attack on Titan and ... here i am. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| Ghost in the Shell - season 2, then season 1, because initially HMV were sold out of season 1 LOL. It was pretty spectacular visually (for it's time) and thought provoking to boot, and sucked me (for better or worse) into the wonderful world of anime! |
| Inuyasha and s-CRY-ed in Cartoon Network |
 |
| Chobits, i don't know why exactly i started with that but it was really cute so yeah |
 |
| Dragon Ball Super. I watched only that for a year and then decided to watch more, My Hero Academia is my second. Until today, I have watched a lot of anime. |
| Blue Exorcist (Ao no Exorcist), though I stopped halfway through. The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. (Saiki Kusuo no Sai-nan) was the first one I finished. :) I did watch Spirited Away in third grade, though I didn't know it was an anime and didn't remember anything except the poor girl who ended up in a random world and a giant baby... so I rewatched that. (that doesn't count right?) After that: Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, Nanatsu no Taizai. Then I found out Howl's Moving Castle was also an anime... so I decided to rewatch that too. |
    |
| Fairy Tail actually,this is what brought me in the anime and Manga world. |
 |
| Death note was my first anime 😬 👌👌 ( excluding anime that i watched in childhood on tv ) |
