when i was a kid , it was yu gi oh and digimon
at the time i was watching it in dub version on the tv and did not even know that it's called anime
in high school i met a friend whom i was playing yu gi oh with and when became good friends and started talking often he introduced me to anime though DBZ and from there it started
as why i keep watching it till today , well every one has something to do when he is free , for me if im not studying or going out with friends then its anime , something i enjoy and learn quite a few things from especially since i'm studying Japanese so it helps me a lot
