Pretty sure one of my friends walked into school one day talking bout Rosario Vampire to us, the rest of us watched it and from then on I started watching more and more anime. Reading manga came shortly after that.

While 'Pokemon', 'Digimon' and 'Dragonball Z' were my first animes, what really got me 'sucked' into anime would be 'The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya'. A couple friends of mine were talking about it quite a bit 3-4 years ago so I decided to google it and tried to find somewhere to watch it. So I ended up downloading it and just couldn't stop watching it. It was interesting and quite amusing. It truly is an amazing anime, it's sad they haven't done more with it.

Form every young I watched DBZ and many other anime that know I can barley remember.
The big turning point when I really got into anime was when Akira came on TV.
As a kid it was like nothing I've ever seen before.

LOL I blame Sailor Moon for all my current anime addictions. I thought I got over it but then Inuyasha happened. I got sucked in with no chance of getting back out.

Well with anime I started watching digimon, cardcaptors, yu-gi-oh and pokemon on tv every weekday & also toonami Thanx Tom!!!!, In terms of mangas I got a free manga it was shaman king and I fell in love with it that i wanted to read more of them so I went to my local public library and hit the motherload

It was either pokemon or dragonball that i first when i was a kid, i can't quite remember what one i seen first tho.

[Nova_Aries]

I got sucked seeing my first episode of Dragon ball z which was Goku Krillen & Piccolo vs Raditz 

[ohbejuan]

I used to watch it on late night tv a long time ago. Then back in 2010 I watched Angel Beats and liked it a lot. Knowing I was going to retire in 2011, I decided to go crazy and aquired hundreds of series to start watching. I been watching at least one series a day since then.

first ever anime i watch when i was kid was zoids

[smilin]

I remember when Astroboy first came out on TV i was about 4 or 5 and would watch it every day after dinner lol, it sort of snowballed from there i would say.

 

Also around the same time was Mysterious cities of gold.

My first animes were on Cartoon Networks original toonami. They were Gundam WIng, Robotech, Dragonball Z, and Sailor Moon.

[narutorocks]

I guess, for me, it really started with Toonami on Cartoon Network about 15 years ago. Before I knew it I started watching a variety of anime.

[FUNimations]

I guess i'dd had to have been Teknoman.
But Dragonball Z was the show that got my deaper in watching animes.
SInce the progress of new episodes got so slow. After seeing the saiyan sage for the umpteenth time, i started heading over to the internet. The site also offered Gundam Wing and Naruto and... launched.

[Sahgo]

Pokémon, for sure. Not only because I watched it religiously, but also because it was the first show that made me read *about* anime -- production, drawing, voice acting, etc.

In a more specific "moment" of fandomism, Chrono Crusade was the first anime I watched (and really enjoyed) that showed me there was more to anime outside the usual more well-known titles (Naruto, Dragon Ball, Inuyasha etc) and, subsequently, lead me to the "heart" of the anime fandom. Whatever that means (?).

[† Valdearg]

Started off with the usual Pokemon, also saw Cardcaptors. First introduction to "proper" anime was when one of my friends at school leant me the first series of Ghost in the Shell.

[Faliena]

it been so long so i can't remember

 

the first anime i say a surge of energy came over me.

hard to explain

ever since i couldn't  peal myself away from anime

[Renzo]

I'd watch Toonami after school when i was younger, Dragon Ball Z in particular. Then, on Friday and Saturday nights, I'd catch Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Inuyasha... And others. I'd stay up all night watching anime. Now, 'Adult Swim' is just lame (personal opinion)...

 

 

Than my love for anime, just grew from there.

[Tsukumo Yuma]

I got into it when I was 2 and 3, my mom is an otaku, I used to watch sailor moon with her, pluss I like hellow kitty and Totoro.

We also had a family friend from japan who taught me japanese, when we visted her, I used to watch some VHS tapes she had, they were Yu-Gi-Oh! Season 0, and the original Kamen Rider.

I saw Yu-Gi-Oh! Season 0 Sailor Moon and Kamen Rider around the same time, those are what first sucked me into anime, they were so good, yugioh and kamen riders plot was so dark, I wanted to see more.

Unfortunatly I don't remember how to speak japanese anymore, but I do understand a little still.

I watched some pretty violent stuff when I was a toddler.

My parents let me watch them so I would know the kinds of people out there and the dangers, and what is right and what is wrong, and the grey aereas in between, and that other peoples right might me some one elses wrong.

Before i started watching anime i was a blank slate, i can barely remember who i was before i started watching it. I actually go into anime in 2009 or around there. Now if you're asking when i started watching? Well it was when I was in elementary school, im going into highschool now, so it wasnt forever ago. But when i was aware it was anime was when i watched FMA. I really liked it so i just kinda watched whatever was on netflix at the time. Now im going to conventions and watching it a lot more and its amazing. I think it was great i started watching anime because without it i'd probably be really empty and i wouldnt have the great friends i have now.
