Heyya~ How did you find your favorite anime?

SUPER-DIMENSIONAL FORTRESS MACROSS... by proxy of it's mid-80's US/WORLD Localization, "ROBOTECH"


a Nephew got me started by Happenstance when i was a young boy... giving me this transformable model kit
of the principal poster boy Mecha from the series;




half a dozen years on, - in my middle-teens -
my dad got me this smaller-scale, non-transformable model of the same Mecha, in one of it's three transformation modes;



in 1996, i began to find dual-episode ROBOTECH VHS Cassettes at my local mall's "SUNCOAST VIDEO"



in the same year, i found my very first Anime Magazine at SUNCOAST...
which piqued my interest so hard that it was a one-way road to OTAKUdom for me from thence onward;

Netflix! I watched naruto and bleach growing up and I was just on netflix and I just randomly decided to watch an anime on netflix! So I watched deathnote(my fav) and thats when I truly got into anime

Steins;Gate/Grisaia/Ben-To/Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S and high school dxd was when I brought them to build my collection end up becoming annual rewatch for the dear place they hold in my heart.

Hibike Euphonium/No Game No Life/High School of the dead/Gabriel Dropout/New Game/Ryouuo no Oshigoto and Sakura Quest just usual binging but end discovering gold that those still hold a place today.

Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata was in my first weekly seasonal I still remember watching the last episode on the way to work in the autobus with tear in the eyes but how much I just loved my time with the characters.

Neptunia discovered because of a meme end up becoming a hard supporter of the franchise afterward. To this day I still pre order every single release on console for the franchise and also brought again the franchise on Steam. Have the series twice (limited edition and essential) plus all regular edition for the games.

I watched Bocchi after a long anime break because I wanted to hate on it since it looked like it was just another comedy pandering to losers..

But it’s love for music and great characters made me love it

Oh, it's a pretty weird story, actually. I didn't have much internet access when I was a kid, but I was into anime regardless and would buy pretty much any DVD I thought looked interesting, especially since anime DVDs were something of a rarity in South Africa. Bought a copy of Ghost in the Shell and it had a trailer for End of Evangelion. I thought it looked cool but I kinda memory-holed it for a year or two until I found a second hand copy of Death and Rebirth at an outdoor market by the beach. The guy selling them told me it was a great series and that it’s a must for anyone into anime so ended up picking it up. I was 15 at the time, around Shinji's age.

I ended up watching it the very next morning and, while it was obviously a condensed recap, I was awestruck by a lot of the bizarre imagery and the dark, morose themes and subject matter. Ended up watching the full show a couple of months later and fell head over heels. It's been more than 10 years and I've yet to see something that resonates in the same way.
