| If I asked you what anime was your first, most people would say "Pokemon" or "Dragon Ball", so I want to ask a more interesting question: What anime really got you into anime? For me, it was One Piece. The great characters and worldbuilding completely captured me, and I knew I needed more. |
| My signature got deleted and I can't be bothered to make a new one. |
| Attack on titian was the first anime I watch. it was also the one thank got me into anime. I love the art style and sound design of that anime. |
| When I was young I used to watch and absolutely love Beyblade not knowing it was anime. Flash-forward a couple years later and YouTube is spamming my in boxes with clips of OPM and I finally collapsed and watched it. That initiated my decent into weebhood. |
| A bit of an odd one, but i got into it through a combination of Initial D and Doki Doki Literature Club. I'm a bit of a car nut so i knew OF Initial D but i had never watched it. Then i saw gameplay of doki doki and fell in love with the art style. I looked for things similar to it and i found anime. The first anime i watched was Another. It is still the most gorey and dark anime i've watched to date. |

It's an anime even people who don't watch anime can appreciate especially with all that glorious eurobeat mmmmm.. |

Dr_Hotshot said: As a kid, I loved Pokemon Digimon and Beyblade not knowing they were anime. At 16, my friend urged me to watch Deathnote, It was cool then Code Geass but then they were the masterpiece so not much into it But for me, it was my 3rd, Fate Stay Night Unlimited Bladeworks that got e going. I feel like alot of peoples first "real" anime is Death Note. Its such an entry anime but doesn't really portray some of the best characteristics of anime i think. |

Sad for your friend. Anime is so much better once you leave the "mainstream shows" and watch whatever interests you! |
RaynePain said: Ken-pie said: I still have yet to dive into the rabbit hole that is Naruto. One day tho... One day... Well, back then we could watch it slowly as kids. But being older, to begin such a long anime (not to mention massive fillers) is gna be hard haha Filler episodes are nice if your devoted to the show but I just have the time or attentions span for a +100 series... |
| If I had to say it would either be yu yu hakusho or inuyasha besides stuff like dragon ball and naruto |
Lord_Undead_Ban said: Tokyo Ghoul One of the top intros right there! If that song doesn't get you then idk what will |
holdenbman said: Pretty basic but the first anime that got me interested was Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and Sword Art Online. I wasn't huge on anime but when my cousin told me about this show where people get trapped in a video game and die IRL if they die in the game I was definitely down for it so I watched it and loved it. I watched shows here and there but I didn't start seriously watching shows until this year SOA has an amazing theme behind it that i think everyone can agree is amazing. I just wish they stayed in the first season longer cause thats when i thought it shined the best. |
danarwal14 said: OPM was my first series, but I think that me binging Naruto, and then Bleach right away really sealed the deal for me. Of course, the only way to go from that is down, as I learned first hand. π Can never go wrong with OPM! Thats where i started. |
mfshk said: Naruto was 'my first anime' which got me into anime. Then I started enjoying animes like One Piece, Detective Conan, etc. But if asked, my favourite one till date is One Piece anime. I started looking for more anime after watching it. One Piece scares me mainly just with how many episodes there are. No doubt it a great show but im too scared to touch it |
danarwal14 said: I agree. as long as J.C. doesn't mess up too much with animation, I think S02 will be satisfactory, at the very least. We all have our fingers crossed for season 2. I hope its good i really do but they dont have the prettiest track record. |
danarwal14 said: Ken-pie said: We all have our fingers crossed for season 2. I hope its good i really do but they dont have the prettiest track record. At least Jam project is doing the OP again. I still wish that they were on spotify Although Spotify lets u down YouTube is usually there to pick us up. |
EllesAnimeHell said: Boku no Hero Academia was the first anime I ever watched, and it hooked me good. I was in a lot of fandoms like Undertale, Steven Universe, and DDLC that also contain a lot of anime fans, so I noticed that a lot of artists I liked from those fandoms also posted a lot of BNHA stuff. Eventually I just needed to see what all the fuss was about, and I’m so glad I did. What a great show to start off on! We all have our opinions but everyone i know loves My hero. |
| Hate to say it but I was in idol hell for over a year. I'm kinda really sick of Love Live now, though. One day after I grew out of it I decided to watch Konosuba and boom I was hooked |
| bruh moment - tetris beatbox guy |
| I remember the first time i saw anime ws random episodes of DBZ, bleach, Naruto and other series that appear on the TV, One of those series was called Saber Marionette J, if i have to pick a series, it was probably this one the one that really hook me into anime 13 years ago. |
 |
| My true first anime was either Elfen Lied which I would say is. or Girls Bravo (Dont Judge) and Rosario+Vampire. ( another shame ) Then again I dont remember could've been Pokemon xD |
 |
| Angel Beats & SAO |
| Gundam Seed. |

| Kiki's Delivery Service when I was around 3 years old. And then seeing Sailor Moon, Pokemon and Digimon on TV as a kid really solidified my love for anime... And then it wasn't until like Inuyasha that I became a NEET lmao... I also grew up in a predominantly Asian city (I'm half Asian) so it's hard to avoid |

| Interesting topic and all good choices. Now if we put all these Pokemon etc shows aside, for me it was Rozen Maiden (original). Probably wouldn't be able to enjoy it as much now as I did back then, but it definitely was a show for me at the time. |
