My first anime was my little monster on YouTube in 2014 then a year later I got into other anime and my second anime was literally Rosario vampire. Back when I was into anime I watched anything and for some reason most of that was incest,harem and ecchi lol.

First of all, great profile picture.

I got into it at a very young age, mainly through catching it on the telly. Didn't know what anime was at that time, then when I got into middle school...it went downhill from there.

Uncounting Digimon and Pokemon as a kid...



I actually got into anime through Naruto two years ago after being bored one day and deciding to click on a naruto video on youtube. Then I watched the show.
I hope the FBI raids some of the users in this website, and then check their hard drives, plenty of suspicious people.

My cousin brought a Hard Disk to my home and asked me to watch One Punch Man back in 2015
I also watched some episodes of No Game No Life

Never watched any anime since until late 2018, when AoT S3 aired finished not long ago, my other cousin recommended AoT to me, I knew the series because I saw him watching.
AoT was probably my first actual anime I knew that is considered anime (I knew OPM is an anime but I watched it like it was a cartoon)

Followed by finishing No Game No Life, Seven Deadly Sins and Food Wars

I got into anime courtesy of netflix and peer pressure. POkemon was technically the first anime I ever watched, but I wouldn't count it as my first anime because I didn't even know it was an anime, or what anime was yet for that matter. I watched pokemon on netflix, which you should NEVER EVER do, unless you want to watch pokemon out of order and be completely confused for the rest of the anime. Also all my friends used to tell me how great anime was, so one day when I was bored I watched death note and it was INCREDIBLE (sorry to those of you who didn't like death note). Since death note was so awesome I tried watching more and more anime through netflix until I finally caved to one of those cool funimation ads and bought a subscription.

I got into anime awhile ago

When i was younger i played dragon ball z budokai on the ps2 with my brother and the boyfriend of the daughter of my moms friend. We played it, everytime we came over to play. Then once i got my first ever electronic (ipod) i searched dragon ball on YouTube and binged the whole series. But i got into anime fully after watching attack on titan on adult swim for the thousand time (in 2013 it would replay the season all the time). I started watching other anime on YouTube after that.

So i got into Anime about 9 years ago

it started off with my brother being into boku no hero around october-november 2019 and he persuaded me to watch it, so I did. i also read the manga like up to volume 15 from my schools library thinking its the exact same as the anime, then my brother recommended k-on and boom, I realized how massive anime was which made me start exploring more and more
I did really like ponyo when I was 4 so idk maybe that sparked it

I think the seed was planted when I first watched a flash series called "The Legend of Zelda: Unknown Origins". I watched it around the summer of 2008. A few months later, I "officially" started watching anime, when I first watched Bleach.

This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes

I got into anime looking up ‘girl and boy kissing’ on my dads phone when I was 6- It was this scene from some random ecchi anime and from then on I fell into an anime rabbit hole.

I grew up with One Piece and Ghibli movies, so the idea of anime was already familiar to me. So some day I asked myself wether there are other series like One Piece out there and that's how it began. I found a similar site to MAL in my language, which had all the trending anime and so I started watching. From Shounen to Shoujo to all the other genres out there. It all began when i was 13 years old.

i always hated movies and shows and couldnt bring myself to watch any but not even a year ago i was too bored and i was like "imma watch some movie voluntary" but i didnt want to watch some netflix original shit stuff so i found this japanese movie called 37 seconds and i kinda didnt like it at first so i dropped it like in the first ten minutes and wanted to read some hateful reviews but those chads were giving it high scores so i was CONFUSED and gave it a second chance and after that moment i was like "MAN JAPANESE ARE GENIUSES" and then i watched koe no katachi and other stuff and this autumn i started watching anime regularly
so yeah koe no katachi somehow brought me here and it was my first anime as well

Was wondering how my fellow weeblets found the glorious medium of imagination known to us as ANIME(tion)?!

Ok, me first.
It was a long time ago, like a decade, so I'be sitting at home bored out of my mind and I be switching on the cable when BAM fucking FMA (not the remake wow) be airing and it was on episode 3, you know when the real hardcore stuff happened with ED and ALL's mom and stuff, and I'be daamnnn what is this hardcore gore horror nightmare fuel man!!!! Then I knew, anime was not for kids, unlike that cartton crap, no! It was hardcore. And that was how I got won bros.

Will be nice to hear all of your stories now!


Cartoon crap. Hahaha.

Mine is a nostalgic one. It was high school time and I was on summer break. My cousins had been bragging about some thing called "anime" and "Naruto". At that time I didn't know that "anime" will become a huge part of my life.

So we sit down and start watching "Shippuden" (I be thinking - what's with these weird names) and then comes Naruto vs Sasuke. Dead set on the fight and mind blown with such cool and fiery characters trading blows and ninjutsu.
There were 3 of us and we saw the whole thing again while sharing laughs, fights of who is better and related our lives with the corresponding on going story and dreamed of becoming a Hokage one day. Named our football/soccer moves with ninjutsu names XD.

One of the most memorable and cherished by all of us summer yet.
