| Funny enough it was SAO for me followed by FMA 2003. I do not mind being a weeb though I keep quiet about it at work. |

| Kanokon did when I was 15 years old. But anime would not be on my radar if my older sister didn't show me Cardcaptor Sakura when I was 6. I want to crossdress and fuck while wearing a magical girl costume because of what my sister showed me. I needed Kanokon to realize it that I was degenerate. |

| Probably kinda cliche but AoT for me. Before watching that show, I just thought anime was about loli's and anime titties. And while that is still present, AoT opened my eyes to the possibility of the type of stories in the medium. |

| Assassination Classroom on Youtube. The first anime I sought out. |

But yeah thats a very good thing it happened to you that it wasn't just all what is sterotyped as it is to be. Lol. I am glad to find that there is more to anime than meets the eye. Stories like fma, Steins;Gate, the promised neverland, and made in abyss I never thought would exist in the medium that is anime. |

| Azumanga Daioh with its dank meme from the 00's. |

| sword art online probably |
 |
| Probably Lucky Star when it first aired back in 2007. There was no turning back at that point. |

| I got into anime back in 2017. I was watching ONLY Dragon Ball Super. To me, at that time, ANIME is just Dragon Ball, nothing else. So I'm only thinking about Dragon ball all day every day. So Dragon Ball, my first anime, made me an otaku. Now I'm watching all kinds of anime. I watched 85+ shows at the time I was writing this. |
| Either Tokyo Ghoul or Blue Exorcist |
| I was expecting some kind of degnerate stuff when I watched Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, but what I ended up with was one of the most comfiest anime I've ever watched and it really opened my eyes to the power of Slice-of-Life anime. |

| Koe No Katachi, coz i was looking more anime that has same vibe & aesthetic with it |
| hyakka ryouran samurai girls, it ignited the love for ecchi in me and made me understand that anime comes in lots of flavors |
    |
| It's difficult to say but I guess animes like Ashite Knight, captain tsubasa and high school kimengumi since they were among the first non battle shounen I watched. |

| No game no life or SAO eep not like this. |
| Po. |
| The 90s and early 00s Ghibli movies hooked me into anime, Tokyo Ghoul manga, irregular at Magic Highschool LNs, and DxD LNs for written were what hooked me there. There were other things but those stand out as the things that I got enthralled by the most, I think it was a process more than an instant single event. Many others added to the obsession though. |
| For me, probably Urusei Yatsura and Ranma (I'm showing my age). But probably what first 'primed' me was Gatchaman (Battle of the Planets) when it was on TV in the (gulp) 70s, so when Robotech came out, and then other anime in the late 80s/early 90s, I was already familiar. Also JRPGs such as the Dragon Quest (Warrior), Final Fantasy, and especially (for me) Phantasy Star series. |

| Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo. I'm a bit like a mild hikikomori(I just finished NHK ni Youkoso). I somehow stumbled upon "The ultimate anime recommendation flowchart" on r/anime. I chose something calm and warm there: Sakurasou. When it ended, I felt the emptiness feeling. I knew it was how animes work: they make you feel empty so you watch again to feel better. But knowing this didn't solve anything. I still didn't have a life. So I became a mild otaku. |

| One Piece Naruto Bleack HunterxHunter Eyeshield 21 Yu yu Hakusho Shaman King Recca no Honnou Sailor Moon Cardcaptor Sakura Alice Gakuen Prince of Tennis Gintama This is that era when I watched these shows that nothing is labeled underrated or overrated, no one would rate shows or even put some genres...I dont even know that such a person who loves watching them is called otaku. Back then, it was just always for enjoyment, fun, and entertainment. Back then it was just anime. no fans, no communities, no debates. |

| Spice and Wolf, I tried getting into it before this anime even watched some anime I thought were amazing before Spice and Wolf like Higurashi but those never gave me the drive to go full throttle like Spice and Wolf. I felt left out of my friend group too at first since everyone around me loved anime IRL and online friends. |
| Code Geass. Shaman King and Naruto introduced me into anime in general, but Code Geass was the anime that got me into anime. |
| Naruto/Bleach/SAO were my gateways, but the point of no return I'd say would be Monogatari |
| I maybe Code Geass, NGNL, OPM, Soul Eater and Bleach too. Basically, the days when I found out YuGiOh wasn't the only anime. |
| Sword art online. It was my entry to anime. After I completed it, I was actively seeking for anime from there on. |
| Have a good time ^-^)/ |
| MHA, it was my first mainstream and I loved it |
| I guess it's Card Captor Sakura, because that show made me do more research on the creators and tried to watch another anime by them. One of them is Kobato, that made me learn about seasonal anime and led me into watching anime regularly at some point. |
  |
| Kyo Kara Maoh unfortunately. I watched it on TV back in 2006 and it turned me into a crazy fangirl lol. |
 |
| I've always watched some Anime here and there, but the one that really got me into I think was Kuroko no Basket |
 |
| Probably either Cowboy Bebop, Fist of the North Star or Mobile Suit Gundam. Those were huge turning points for me as an anime fan. |
| It had to be Spice and Wolf. When I realised that I had a crush on a fictional character Holo that was when I knew I strayed from the right path. |
 |
| In my case Gurren Lagann was that anime Which really changed my whole POV about anime . I simply Loved it man... |
| High school of the dead, found the action and story interesting (not much of the ecchi) enough to pull me out of my shounen shell |

| Darling in the Franxx. The Romance aspect of that anime made me wanting more from any other anime shows., and the vibe that Darling in the Franxx gave me an idea of how nice of a feeling that anime could bring. |
