| First anime: Dragon Ball Kai (However, it was the censored Nicktoons version.) First Anime For Real This Time: Bleach Just one night I thought; "Hey, those Japanese anime shows look kinda cool. I think I'll go and watch one. Hmm, which to choose? I think Bleach is one of the popular ones, so I'll start there." I proceeded to watch anime for the rest of my life. |

MesuRaion said: holy shit.This is a question I've been meaning to ask because I recently found some of my old DVDs and re-discovered some animes I used to love, and guess what. (Story time) my parents made me an otaku It was decided from the moment I was born. It was written upon my birth certificate: This girl shall one day cry many tears and squel many squels over japanese cartoons. ...Okay, not literally, but they did set me up. I got a pikachu doll before I was even one year old and my mom gave me my first anime when I was seven; Saint Tails. Then introduced me to Inuyasha when I was about nine. Then I found Yu-gi-oh, and she watched her budding otaku fly off into the sunset. Alright, story-time's over, back to the question. What was your first anime, and who introduced you? For me, Saint Tails, and my mom. My friends in high school introduced me to manga. |

| Besides the TV which intoduced most people to anime in their childhood, my first serious venture into anime was from youtube and other forums- I was going to watch Full Moon wo Sagashite but tried Clannad instead (which I loved!) and the rest is history. |

| My first anime was Oni Chichi, sponsored and introduced to me by my penis. |

bunny_lover said: Same thing happened with me but in Junior High. My friend asked me if I liked anime, I didn't really know how to respond because at the time I didn't really know what the term meant until I saw this Kingdom Hearts Manga he showed me. Then after reading a little bit of that, I was instantly hooked on both Anime and Manga. Though I have been watching anime since the early 90s like DBZ and Pokémon. I started watching Naruto in like 2007 whenever it used to come on Toonami. At that time though I didn't know it came from Japan, or that it was even anime. But thanks to that good friend of mine, I have see well over 100 different anime already, or at least close to it.MesuRaion said: holy shit.This is a question I've been meaning to ask because I recently found some of my old DVDs and re-discovered some animes I used to love, and guess what.

| The internet introduced me to Cowboy Bebop. I was bored and everyone said that it was an amazing show, so I checked it out... and goddamn were they right. |

| My first animu was Saint Seiya and the TV introduced me to it |
I luv u |
| Parents bought me My Neighbor Totoro on VHS when I was in diapers. I grew up with it being my absolute favorite movie and I would watch it multiple times a day when I was a wee lad. So not to sound blase about it but I've been an anime fan since I was in diapers lol. |
| I'm going to exclude series like Pokemon, Digimon, etc, because I didn't at the time know that it was anime. My class was going on a camping trip to some random forest with a large pond when I was like 12 or something? Anyway, we had set up our tents and one of my friends had brought tons of mangas for us to read, and at the time I had never read a manga in my life. That's when I first discovered Ranma 1/2, and I ended up spending most of the trip inside our tent reading, instead of doing the activities the school had planned. It was great. Him bringing mangas to school trips became sort of a tradition after that. It wasn't my introduction to anime, but it was my first to manga, which in turn made me look up the Ranma 1/2 anime. |

| My first anime was fushigi yuugi and i started watching it when it aired on AXN. It was on cable and it was AXN asia so there were no subs but i watched the entire show in japanese anyway. It used to air at 5 in the morning and i would watch it before going to school. My mom used to give me a earful about it everyday! |

| Can't remember, probably Dragon Ball, local TV introduced it to me and my cousin, and it was awesome. |
| The first I saw was Dragon Ball but the anime who makes me become an otaku was Lucky Star and was thanks to my big brother, he don't watched the anime but he was using in a forum a Konata gif as avatar and other konata gif as signature he don't know the anime name and I started to see what's that anime name so after a couple of days searching on YouTube I got the name I started to see it and from that day I become an otaku and I don' regret of this xD. |
| When I was a kid I really liked Detective Conan, it was one of my first animes. On computer, some of lupin the third, cowboy bebop movies and tenjou tenge on dvds took them from my brother. |

| The anime that got me into anime was soul eater. A random girl at a party told me to watch it so I gave it a go and now I'm here ^-^ |
| Hanaukyou Maid-tai, not counting free TV stuff. Teenager me introduced me to it discovering the art watching online streams, for teenager reasons. |
| My neighbor showed me anime all the time, even though I showed no interest in it (I guess he really wanted to talk about it). He ended up showing me Trigun, and I watched the whole series on my own the next two days. Right after, I re-watched it then stopped watching anime for a year. I thought that "Trigun must be one in a million~" |
| Pokemon, Dragonball Z. Good ol' Toonami days. Saturday mornings introduced me to Pokemon and after school introduced me to DBZ. |
| I introduced myself Via the television, by watching Iria, Robotech, Green Legend Ran, Akira, and such in the mid-90s. Not sure which one was first. Although, DBZ is made me want to actively seek out other anime titles to watch, before that I was just a casual fan. |

| NGE in 1999, using IRC. Mind, blown Self-motivated from childhood encounters reading Dragon Ball translated in korean. Neighbors had every volume up to date at the time, + a few trips with cousins who lived with my family from korea, who went to Lil Tokyo in LA from time to time to check out book stores. Good times. |
| My first anime was Cowboy Bebop. I was introduced to it through some indie musicians. |
 |
| Mine was Blue Seed. Not exactly an anime a five year old should watch. T_T |
 |
| Seriously though, this is like 1000th topic of this sort. |

| sailor moon, like 2 years ago i think? got interested in it because of a tumblr blog |

| "When you walk in a dream but you know you're not dreaming Signore Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli that's amore" |
| My first Anime was Sword Art Online, and my Brother showed it to me. I was alwys wondering what sorts of series he was watching, so i asked him to show me one. He was just watching SAO, so he let me stay and watch too. I loved the beginning, and he let me watch one episode a day, which was annoying, but better than nothing. After that he just gave me some series, and i could watch Anime without him. I owe him so much. Even though he's somethimes very annoying. |
| My First anime is Wedding Peach dubbed ver. airing from my local television.. |
 |
| Flame of Recca. My sister was the one who introduced me to the world of Manga/Anime. |
Stay in yesterday 時を止めて |
| My first anime was fairy tail, because I wanted to watch anime, and I searched it up online. |
| TV introduced me pokemon, digimon, doremon and other mons. ヽ(*・ω・)ﾉ I was also exposed to Yu Gi-Oh and Naruto at that time when I was still a kid. Then FMA started airing on our staple channel at 7 PM and dum du rumm But in all seriousness, Yu Yu Hakusho was the first ever anime that I've followed when I was young (well I'm still young mind you) (ノдヽ) |
| my first anime is doraemon but the first anime that truly make me hooked up and love anime is gosick. the one that introduce me to anime is TV and internet. |
 |
| Doraemon/Crayon Shin-chan back when I lived in Japan, those two anime aired one after another and I watched it every single week. My dad also recorded every episode of it on VHS in case I missed it and I still have those tapes with me. |
| Technically: Dragonball Z when it was first coming to America. Just kinda found it at random. |
 |
| Well, since I am not counting Pokémon/Digimon/DBZ (Brazilian open TV when I was young), my first anime was the classic Hunter x Hunter and I watched it because when I was little one friend of mine used to watch it and I remembered it looked cool enough to give it a try. |
 |
| My first anime is Pokémon, introduced by my parents. My parents bought the CD for me when I was little. And I don't even know that Pokémon originates from Japan for a few years, and so during that time I did not differentiate between an Japanese animation and an American animation. The second is Hello Kitty (is this an anime?), third is Digimon from TV, and also Dragon Ball, Doraemon, Cryan Shin Chan, One Piece then Naruto. All are non-Japanese dub. The first anime I watched with Japanese dub is Naruto. |

| First was Samurai X (Rurouni Kenshin), then Mew Mew Power, but I did not know that they were anime at the time. When I moved to Canada, I also watched the English version of Spider Riders. The first anime I truly watched knowing what it was was One Piece, and I was introduced to it by my brother. I marathoned it in a few months and watched a lot more over the year and half since then. |

| DBZ on TV |

| I started watching anime on TV around when I was 5 years old and watched shows like Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z, One Piece every morning before I went to school. When I was around 8 we use to go to a video rental store where I borrowed Dragon Ball Z VHS cassettes and I also out of curiosity borrowed more mature anime like Neon Genesis Evangelion. Then we got Foxtel and my faviorite channel was Cartoon Network and I loved to watch Toonami. That's how I got into anime. |

| My brother was watching Naruto a loooooooong time ago, like the first naruto. And I was like wtf you watching and he was like 'I'm watching Naruto'. It looked interesting and I started watching it. After I finished watching Naruto I moved on to Shippuden and then One Piece. I then had a small break of watching new anime and watched the new episodes every week. I now watch short anime series such as I recently finished watching Ao No Exorcist. |
