loskilos Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I was sucked in by my brother and his ex-girlfriend brother, they had me watch Ninja Scroll and Fist of the Northstar after that day I've been hooked for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
†Anras Rune Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Well, this is a difficult one. I grew up with pretty liberal parents and had quite a bit of freedom from a young age. One of my best mates was in a similar circumstance and he liked to stay up late to watch more mature programmes. Me and him would constantly talk about some of the later night programmes like samurai jack and coast to coast. Eventually toonami came about, and with it came gundam, outlaw star and an anime I have since forgot. Me and him bothed got hooked and since then I've watched it frequently. Toonami R.I.P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solanki Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I was in 5th grade and while surfing channels I found a 'cartoon' with a pretty girl and a hot guy.. it attracted me, the drawing style that is.. and then I found.. its mature.. to me, I was watching kissing in a 'cartoon' and love.. intense love.. just the right amount to tickle my adolescence years.. thats when i stopped liking all other cartoons and got hooked into anime.. my first anime..

taneilman Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 A movie I saw called "Castle in the Sky" I loved the movie and looked for more. The more I found the more I liked them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*shin.kara~ Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 First pokemon and digimon when I was really young, then sailor moon, then escaflowne and dbz and then came along inuyasha and I had an official addiction. couldn't stop watching anime after that! although i've been lax recently (due to the lack of internet i have yikes..) I got my roommate hooked on FMA! =D ( i own the dvd's and movie so currently watching that and a lot of other shows I have on dvd. having no cable is kinda nice when I can finally catch up on other shows =D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikool13 Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 It was dragon ball z that got me into anime. I remembered i have to wait every Thursday at the bookstore to buy the next chapter. Later on, it was Gundam Wings that got me hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohji Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 At first, it was Pokemon, Digimon, DBZ and all that good stuff that first got me into anime. At the time, though, I thought they were the same as American cartoons. It was not until I bought the first issue of Shonen Jump by accident (only because I saw DBZ on the cover) that I realized how much bigger the world of anime and manga really is. Since then I've been hooked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minigorbi Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 The beginning for me was when a friend of mine introduced me to the manga Ranma 1/2. It was when it first got translated into Norwegian, I remember buying a new volume every month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegendaryAnime Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 I would have to say that Digimon,Pokemon,Dragonball Z, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Medabots got me into anime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenriredge Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 I grow up watching Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, Digimon, Pokemon, among others on normal TV. But eventualy my family got cable, and i found others like (Inuyasha, Chrno Crusade, Hellsing, Law of Ueki, Ghost in a Shell, Cardcaptor Sakura, LUM). I always watched on tv, so when the channell got canceled, i stop watching. It was only when i got to College that i found out i could watch/download Anime. Even now i dont watch as much as i thought i would. I only watched: Law of Ueki, Devil May Cry, DarkStalkers (the OVA), MOUSE, Street Fighter II (that movie, they made), and Venus Wars (i think thats the name, its in Portugues the title), among the others i mentionedSo basicaly those are the ones that pulled me to liking Anime.

when_hellsigh Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 When I was little, Dragon Ball is my companion. I remembered watching Ushio and Tora video tapes bought by my cousins. I enjoyed all types of animations. After that was Doraemon, Crayon Shin-Chan, Nintama Rantaro, Slam Dunk, YuYu Hakusho and many much more that were shown on Saturday and Sunday mornings on TV. And when I was in secondary school, I started to learn the term anime. There were late night shows of Haruhi Suzumiya no Yuutsu, Hell Girl, Basilisks, and Bleach on my local television, with improper subs. Boys in my class talked about Bleach and Naruto. Somehow then I get indulged with Bleach (somehow I hated Naruto, but I watched all it's movies) and now, I download animes, solely for the purpose of sharing and enjoying them with my friends in college. Hell yeah to a community that watches animes!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gero50 Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 I was a little kid about 6 years old just watching TV. DBZ came on, and I watched it. From then on I was hooked on anime, and as for manga it just naturally followed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusaderofsin Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 I ordered a copy of Shonen Jump in middle school, and that got me reading manga. Then I started getting into anime and visual novels as well. Not much else to say. One thing led to another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtabd Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Pokemon i guess you could say, but thats more beginner. I would say it had to be Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex and FMA:Brotherhood that they used to air on Adultswim back in the day, when they actually were true to the anime instead of playing their endless network produced shows.!.
