ludewick24 Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Definitely DBZ, it was always an after school special. Then off course I had to start from the beginning in DB, and from there on I have been lost in the world of Anime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanis Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 I feel so old looking at this thread. I got sucked into thanks to 4kidz and the Vision of Escaflowne. Then downloading 'Shadow Of Doubt' from this new thing called Napster. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigswole Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Well; it all started in the early 90's for me. It probably was broadcast in the U.S. late, but Ronin Warriors put anime on the map for me. Dragon Ball was on regular broadcast before it went to cable, so I was unable to follow that, but I watched Dragonball Z when I was in college. Dragonball Z 6th Season with Cell is my all time favorite. Then what really got me exploring the world of anime was the series of Bleach. The story of it was acceptable weren't for the filler's holding up the main story; but it had me from start to finish. Even couldn't wait for it to be dubbed in the states, so I started watching the Japanese version of the show. Then I started watching Ecchi anime and it open up a whole new world 'lol'.

masahikou Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hi, for me as well, ti has begun in the 90's. In France We had this tv show "Club Dorothée" in which you could watch sain seiya, city hunter, ken, ranma 1/2, drangon ball, etc..... All of this was censored of course, I think that kid tv show of today are not as good as what we had the chance to se in our childhood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EinsamerWandere Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 The earliest foray I had was watching Robotech but it wasn't until years later that I learned about Macross/Southern Cross/Mospeada. In the meantime I'd started watching the Toonami block after school watching DBZ, Sailor Moon (I can admit it now), and Gundam Wing. My desire to watch more eventually lead to the deep dark world of fansubs and IRC and I've been more or less a lost cause ever since. There've been times when I've pretty much stopped watching anything, but I've always relapsed in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sora13 Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 My sister got me into anime,She kept reading manga books at a school that she went to and I went to as well after she went to the 9th grade,I fullly didn't undstand what anime and manga was at the time I was only in the 6th grade and I had no knowledge of it at all,my sister had Watched FullMetal Alchemist(2003 Ver.),Ouran High school Host Club,and Fruits Basket(Still her Fav animes as of today),The one show that got me into to Watching Anime/Reading Manga Was One Piece(Funimation Dub).Started from EP 1 when I was in the 7th grade and now I'm fully caught up with the Dub a few weeks ago,and recently Saw Film Gold as well.But long story short if it wasn't for One Piece and my Amazing Sister,My Love for Anime/Manga would have not existed as of right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRX Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 My anime obsession started with Naruto, badly enough it started at season 2. The place I bought the boxset only had season 2 available at the time and my nephew recommended I watch it, so I thought I'll buy this and if I like it buy the rest online.

Personally, this officer in my WoW guild back in WotLK told me to watch DBZ on goodanime.net, I watched it, as well as DB and DBGT and then started finding my own shows. After Dragonball I moved to Kotoura-san which was definitely a big genre jump. Edited February 9, 2017 by Kaneo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
