    Default Who or What got you into anime?

    Simple enough question~

    For me-it was actually a couple friends of mine. I was a huge pokemon fan-and they showed me Tenchi Muyo! and then Gundam Wing when I visited them...and Bam-I was hooked, line and sinker.

    In 1998 I watched Dragon Ball Z and knew this was going to be my passion. Fifteen years later I wonder, what if I never watched DBZ that day?

    Sailor Moon back in the 90's. It made me interested in that type of animation. Then pokemon hit the tv stations. That turned me into a fan for life.

    I was never really big into anime because the only few I knew were Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh and Digimon until my cousin got me into it when he introduced me to other anime like Mobile Suit Gundam and Full Metal Alchemist. From there on, I tried watching different anime and began to love so many of them.

    For me, a mate leant me his Akira video in 1993. It had a very psychedelic effect on my young impressionable mind, and i quickly devoured as much anime as i could.

    When I was a kid in the 80s, I did watch Voltron (Go-Lion), Super Book, Flying House, and Robotech, but had no idea they were anime. Then during a family winter vacation to the Philippines in late 1994/early 1995, DBZ was THE RAGE and my cousins were talking about it and wearing the t-shirts. It was on TV and I saw the episode where Android 18 man-handeles Vegeta and couldn't believe what I was watching.

    Prepare for some cheesy shizz, because that what I have...

    I was a quiet kid who no one talked to for most of my school life, up until 7th grade. In middle school, I thought I would always be that way. But, there was this girl who I always thought was interesting, and she was always nice to me. She always talked about countries like they were people, so one day I plucked up the courage to talk to her. I asked why she talked about countries like they were human. Her almost exact words were:

    "It's from this awesome anime, called Hetalia. You should check it out!"

    ...And I did. I fell in love. I watched all of that, then branched out. I first watched Kaichou ha Maid-Sama on Youtube, then Clannad on Netflix. After Clannad, I was hooked on anime.

    I had casually watched Pokémon, Naruto, and Inuyasha before that, but it wasn't until Hetalia that I was really "into" anime. I wont be going back anytime soon. From anime, I gained confidence, friends, wonderful time wasters, and great forums like these.

    My first Anime was Digimon Adventure. It was aired on my local TV on the year 1999 or 2000 I can't remember. Back then I only like cartoons and still don't know the difference between Japanese animation and Western, I thought they are all the same since they were all dubbed in the same language. But then as I grew older I noticed the difference. The style of drawing in which anime is more realistic, the depth of the story, the seriousness. And then came Animax....and here I am now.

    As a little kid I would religiously watch Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh and I was always a big fan of the series but, I didn't know that they were really anime. Not in till about 6th grade when my friend told me to watch Death Note I became obsessed with anime. After Death Note I couldn't get anime out of my mind and continued to watch series from Hetalia to Blue Exorcist to Fairy Tail ectectect. and to this day I love it all so very much and has changed me as a person and in fact has made me some new friends! :3

    My friend was reading a manga (Naruto).When he showed me Naruto i started to look on the internet for the anime.
    A few months later, another friend of mine told me about Angel Beats. I have been a fan ever since.

    The first anime I ever watched was Pokemon back as a child. At first, I wasn't much into it but it grew on me over time. That and Sailormoon was all I had ever watched until years later when I met my boyfriend of 2 years. He showed me Trouble Chocolate and Galaxy Angel and now I"m a huge fan of anime!

    What got me into anime were some friends I made on another forum. They always talked about anime and roleplayed anime characters and all that. I decided to see what anime was like, and I really liked it.

    Default Re: Who or What got you into anime?

    Well I'd been pretty bored with regular tv to the point where I really didn't watch it anymore. I was too busy anyhow. Got netflix, mainly for my son, and would occasionally watch a movie now and then. I used to be on rotating shift, and a couple times a month I would have to switch no nightsifts. The day or two before my first nightshift I'd stay up late to acclimate myself. It was those couple night a month was pretty much the only time I watched tv or movies. But with the limited selection on netflix I ran out of stuff to watch. I had roomates in college that were big into anime, though I never really got into it, I decided to give it a try. I really didnt know there was anime that wasnt just for kids, and though the majority is for kids, I did find many that I enjoyed watching.

    It was more a combination of who and what, honestly. I used to watch Sailor Moon all the time as a child, so I guess that's what initially peaked my interest. When Princess Mononoke came out in the US, my mom bought it for us and I watched that once a week (at least) over the course of 2 years.
    But my brother's were also a huge part of it because I would watch Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and Tenchi Muyo with them during the day. Eventually, I found myself trying to sneak out of my room past bed time to watch the anime shown on Adult Swim with them.

    I first watched Yu-GiOh! back when it was on, but didn't think much of anime until my cousin got me to watch Angel Beats. It all went spiralling out of control from there

    In a movie store once, I saw a VHS copy of "Yotoden: Wrath of the Ninja Movie". I watched it. I was hooked.

    Then I find out years later that it was just an absolutely BUTCHERED version of "Sengoku Kidan Yotoden", and got all depressed.

    I had watched anime as a kid (not knowing that it was anime, or that they were originally in another language). I didn't actually become interested in anime until after I graduated high school. I became interested in learning Asian languages, and focused in on Japanese. I noticed that anime culture was booming where I lived, so I joined in. I study the language in-depth (not because of anime, but because of my interest in the language itself), and I watch anime whenever I can. It's been awhile since then, and I regret nothing.

    I was looking up a song from a kids movie, and I found an amv using the song.
    I thought they were just other kids movies, and there was a list of titles in the description.
    Howl's Moving Castle sounded interesting, so I watched it, not realizing it was an anime movie.
    Then when I ran into the amv again, I saw the title 'Fruits Basket'. That was wierdly ungrammatical, so I was curious.
    I looked it up, and started to devour it. From the comments on the videos, I realized that it came from something called a 'manga', so I looked up the Fruits Basket manga as well. And thus, my journey began.
