Well, my friend introduced me to anime in the first place, and I guess he waited a while before he introduced me to this place. I guess he wanted me to watch enough anime to make a decent list.
But it seems now because of this site and all of its information about different animes, i've over taken him in the amount of anime i've watched. :)

I first heard of MAL from the AnimeNation forums around 6 months ago. I initially joined only to keep better track of the various series I've watched, and mostly avoided the MAL forums due to the clear majority of other users' profile designs being overwhelmingly elaborate. It wasn't until a fellow AN user (Vega_Vaikyuko, known on AN as Treize X Magamin) created his own club exclusively for AN users that I started to give MAL a bit more attention.

Then I got banned from AN, and my journey toward the dark side MAL became complete.

I think I found MAL back in June or July 07 just by searching for stuff on Kanon 2006 on google. However back then I used ANN as an anime info resource so I just disregarded the MAL link. Then when my list of watched anime increased I got kind of tired of using excel and word to keep track of series. So I googled anime list and er...here I am.

I googled "anime list" because I was getting sick of another site not working on my computer when I would try and access it.

I'm not sure I remember exactly how, but I think I used google to do some sort of anime related search. I think I was trying to find something that could more easily list all the anime I have watched instead of typing it out in a word document. haha

The internet???

I frequent anime blogs, and one guy had some side thing thing with "recent MAL updates". It looked nicer than AniDB. I didn't go there for a couple of months before needing a forum to go to. If it weren't for the forums I would only be using AniDB.

I saw a link to someone's anime list on Anime Source. When I saw it, I thought it was such a good idea, because I do want something to keep track of all I've watched. But I didn't join until later when I got tired of AS.

oh yeah, I remember that. That was handy! Where did it go?

I clicked a random person's sig, btw. In AP, which was a site I went to like once, then saw someone's sig and became distracted by MAL.
