| When I was a small boy, I noticed that "Japanese cartoon" characters all had pointy chins, big eyes, tiny tiny noses and mouths (unless they were yelling), and spoke very fast. I decided I didn't like that and stopped watching them. ...time passed... ...many pages fell off the calender in rapid succession... ...newspapers spun around... Then a friend of mine lent me a copy of Akira. Woah! That was incredible! I guess those Japanese cartoons aren't so bad. ...more time passes... ...The pile of calender pages on the floor gets to be a problem... ...Those spinning newspapers are making me dizzy... Toonami and Adult Swim begins. I tune them in for background noise while I steal music on this internet thingy. I often get distracted and watch the anime (I had learned the term by then). After a while the music gets to me and I decide to steal some. The first was Outlaw Star... You youngsters listen up, this bit is important. In those days, when we weren't working at the quarry on our dinosaurs we were discovering that there was all kinds of wonderful music that was so much better than what the record companies were shoving down our throats. The evil record companies were horrified. "What? People are listening whatever music they want? That we don't necessarily own, whose musicians are not chained up in our basement? This is terrible! We cannot allow this to happen!" So they formed an evil alliance called The Recording Industry's Assholes Association (RIAA). The dastardly RIAA sent out their terminator units. Their first target was Napster. The people were defenseless, the carnage was... was... I'm sorry... Give me a minute to pull myself together. I lost a lot of dear friends that day... The refugees that survived scattered to various places. I ended up in a wonderful place called AudioGalaxy. In this utopia people gathered in small groups based on whatever music, group, band, musician or genera they loved and freely shared that love with like minded others. It was an idyllic existence. Not unlike this place. During this too brief respite from the recording industry's terrors, I wanted to steal the OP and ED songs for Cowboy Bebop. I found there were great many more CB songs than that and there, at the bottom of the list, was a lively little message board with a group of people excitedly talking about Cowboy Bebop and other shows like GTO and Trigun. I happily joined that group and made many friends, some of which, I still speak with today. They opened up a whole new world of anime for me which I thoroughly enjoy to this day. But the insidious RIAA was not through... |

Oh well, not much you can do if they don't want to know. |

| It's been a long time since I said ain't nobody got time for that. Well I started watching Toonami when I was like 4 and around 2 years ago I just got tired of rewatching the good ol anime like DBZ, Yu Yu Hakusho, Rurouni Kenshin etc so I starting watching new anime. Btw I still rewatch a lot. I never really got into anime as a whole. Back in like 2007 I was watching Naruto on Toonami and I got tired of waiting every week so I started watching it in Japanese subbed online. Don't give a shit whether or not it's anime. Most anime on my list are old Toonami shows. I've known about anime all along unlike most kids that were Toonami fans but once again I don't give a shit about anime as a whole. The first anime I completed was probably Dragonball. |

| How did I started? let's see.. When I was small (7-9 years old) loved to watch Naruto which was airing on TV , well it was in russian dub and of course I didn't understand that , lol. Years later I got tired of Naruto and all those pokemon shows like Bakugan , Yu-Gi-Oh etc. Stopped watching it and lived normal life~ though some months passed and I saw my cousin was watching a show called ''Death Note'' , I said ''damn , looks epic , I should try'' of course I forgot to watch Death Note because I'm damn forgetful then later ,while browsing the internet I saw that Anime is being translated in my language , I was curious what's that thing called ''anime''? , I think 2012 of spring anime was only translated and I started to watch whoever catched my attention. (I judged by picture) Guess which anime made me love anime? Mysterious Girlfriend X , lol. |
 |
| Well, I never thought that that me watching anime around 14 years ago would eventually lead to me becoming an anime fan. And since I still had school that time, I wasn't able to tune in to every anime show aired on our local TV networks. There was even a time that I was on a semi-hiatus from watching anime, and that was during my university days. And though things have gotten busier since I started working, the ironic thing is that I seem to have more time to watch anime than when I was still a student. As to when I started to become an anime fan, that would be the year 2000, a year after I started watching anime. |
   |
| Ill try and keep this short. When I was younger my favorite "shows" were pokemon and yu-go-oh. I diddnt know anything about anime but watched my Saturday morning cartoons. I think it was called kids WB or something. My neighbors had more channels than me at the time and I would go over their house to watch toonami. I remember DBZ was my favorite and I watched it all the time. So it went like this for a bit and then when I was about fourteen or so I was watching youtube and I discovered AMV's. I must have watched half of the ones on youtube in a day. Shortly after I found a website to watch anime on and the first one I clicked was bleach. So it was kind of like rediscovering anime even though I'd already seen a bit. I watched it for days without a break since it was summer. After that I started watching anime most everyday. I will watch almost anything as long as its interesting and if not ill still watch if somebody I know likes it. I have a few friends who are casual watchers but they don't like it as much as me so I came to MAL. That's pretty much it, now anime is my main hobby and I plan to watch it for as long as it exists:) |
| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
| I guess I am one of the lucky ones. See before the 90's they had only ever had a few random series appear on TV, like Speed Racer. Before then nobody really knew or had heard about what anime was. I got to see where it really start to get big. Back in the 90's Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z made their first debut on America TV on the Warner Brothers Network as a Saturday morning cartoon. I used to LOVE watching them... but it was derpy back then. Since nobody really knew what an anime was, they really didn't understand that anime is has a continues storyline from one episode to the next. It was like cartoons where you just put any episode on, and DBZ was so awesome that we didn't care. But it was so weird watching Goku fighting Vegeta one week and then the next week Goku would be running down snakeway to train with king kai. After that shows like Pokemon and Yu gi oh, Cowboy Bebop and more and more series were introduced on the WB and Cartoon network, and I was there watching all of that. Before I loved everything One Piece my favorite show for years had always been DBZ. I love anime! |

They're very thought provoking. Keep it up. Many of you talk about DB & DBZ. Even though I was all growed up when those came around they still hold a fond place in my heart. They got me through a time when I couldn't afford internet or cable. Lets see...there was Digimon and Yu-Gi-Oh, too. Couldn't make myself watch Pokemon. I kind of wish I had now. Hey deeviluke! Go over to one of the Underrated Anime threads and tell me all about Mysterious Girlfriend X. I'm not familiar with that one. |

GrinfilledCelt said: Couldn't make myself watch Pokemon. I kind of wish I had now. I'm still watching Pokémon up to its new eps, so it's never too late for you to do that! Although, as of late, I'm more into its games than its anime, but who cares? I still love Pokémon, and that's my bottom line! xD |
| |
| That's cool, DT. I've never faulted anyone of any age for liking Pokemon. I think it was the American-style cartoony VAs and overly simple (also American-style) animation that put me off. That got in the way of the story for me and still would. If I could get past that and get into the story I may well forgive those flaws and love the show as so many people do. With so much other stuff available to me now, I don't think I could watch it. Now, I might give it a try if I were cut off from the internet and cable again long enough to exhaust the vast backlog of anime I've downloaded. Again, I wish I'd watched it when I had the opportunity so that now I could have a valid opinion of the show. |

| If you compare viewership of the most popular anime ever, which ever that may be, to the viewership of, say, House, you could still say that hardly anybody knows what anime is. That makes all anime fall under our purview as under appreciated. We're just preaching to the choir here. |

| How I got into anime? When I was really young (around 4 or 5 years old), the only anime that we had around the house was Hayao Miyazaki's "My Neighbor Totoro". It was and still is my one of my favorite films. Unfortunately, I never grew up with watching Toonami simply because we didn't have cartoon network at my house until I entered high school. However, I got the chance to watch shows like Monster Rancher, Ultimate Muscle, Shaman King, One Piece through Fox on Saturdays. When we finally got satellite, it was during the period when Toonami stopped airing, but adult swim was still airing anime on Saturday nights so I got into series like Death Note, Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist, Ghost in the Shell, Inuyasha, etc. and I thought that was it. I quickly came to realize that anime is a pretty huge thing in Japan and there were tons of series out there. Nowadays, thanks to the internet and netflix, I've been able to watch all the anime to my heart desires. With that said, I guess I'm a pretty average fan. I don't own much anime; probably 4 or 5 box sets and I'm working collecting the "When They Cry" and "Flowers of Evil" manga. So that's my "condensed story". If I were to explain everything it would be equivalent to a 4-5 page essay, haha. |

| Here's how I became an anime fan. Like most people who grew up in the 90's I watched shows such as Pokemon, which is probably one of the first animes I watched, and was introduced to Toonami. However I wasn't really into anime at the time. Yeah, I thought it was cool and saw a few episodes of Naruto and DBZ, but I never got into anime as much as everybody else was. Maybe I was into the minority group on that one, wasn't into popular stuff, or just liked other shows, but it never grabbed me from the start. However, I started to really get into it when I was in high school. A couple of my friends were anime fans, saying they liked Naruto and other shows. I also was looking up videos on Youtube where people would mention or talk about anime a lot. This got me into thinking, maybe I should try watching some shows and see what I think of it. The first anime that I watched that made me a fan today was Wolf's Rain. I checked it out cause I liked wolves and was curious. Luckily for me, the entire series was on Youtube at the time, so I sat down and watched it. From that point on, I wanted to see more shows like that. It was the first show I wathced in a while where it a had a really good, complex story to it with good characters. It's what I wanted to see in storytelling without me realizing it because a lot of western animated shows are often toned down because of its audience demographic, but soon found out that anime doesn't have that problem. I love the fact that they are able to create stories that you otherwise couldn't be able to tell in other forms of media. It's because of that show that I was able to watch other amazing anime out there such as Fullmetal Alchemist, Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Trigun, Code Geass, Baccano, Fate/Zero, and much much more. I'm glad to be an anime fan and it has changed my life for the better. I hope I can meet fans out there who love and respect anime as much as I do. Well, that's my story anyway. |

| See, Kakarot, that junk on Saturday mornings do some good after all. Now that you guys are here we can show you anime for your maturing tastes. I didn't know a sequal to Little Busters was coming out, aqsa. Cool! I was going to reccomend some romantic comedies to you but you are already on top of all I had in mind. For something gorey, you should add Shigurui. If action/adventure is your thing, Soge, you should definately add Cowboy Bebop and Black Lagoon to your Plan To Watch list (and Baccano and Samurai Champloo and Ghost in the Shell and Outlaw Star and Moribito and Eden of the East and Trigun and Gantz and Wolf's Rain and Freedom and...) |

| For me it started out more of a forbidden love with me and anime. I first got into anime when i was around 10, my close friend and i started naruto, we were already cooped inside all day everyday so it wasnt that hard to finish it. After we finished naruto i stopped watching anime a few years later i moved and could no longer hang out with my friend he facebooked me and told me to try naruto shippuden... and thats where it all went wrong i was watching 20-30 episodes a day in my bedroom not paying any attention to the things going on around me my mother eventually took away my computer and said thats enough. i was desprate to finish the series so i started watching it on my ipod and had to hide it whenever my mom was around. Eventually i finished (the episodes that were out at the time) after that i stopped watching anime completly. Suprising huh? a few years later i moved again, where i live now there is nothing to do other then video games and surf the web, i finally got back into anime and within no time at all i wasted i think its been 960 hours watching anime now. (according to myanimelist.) |

| Wow its way more fun hearing about peoples experiences with anime than I thought it would be. I spent an entire summer watching anime once...I don't regret it but I have started watching a more appropriate amount, mostly due to the fact that I have to work now. I pretty much stopped playing video games in order to have enough time for anime. I prefer it this way though.(I do still play a few of my favs from my childhood) |
| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
| I used to love watching animes on Toonami when i was like 7 til i was 10 I think. Always got through the week by saying I can finally watch the next episode of DBZ, Naruto, Zatchbell, One Piece, Blue Dragon,Yu Yu Hakusho, and some other animes, then I found out I could watch anime online, but it was usually subbed so I had to get used to it. |
| A lot of people fell in love with anime on Toonami. That's why it's so nice to see it back. Nobody likes subs when they start out, no matter how snobby they get about it later. =0D If you won't watch subs, you miss out on a lot of good stuff. |

| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
| Yeah, you're probably right lol I guess it all started on that fateful night; I wasn't supposed to stay up late, well I was 3 at the time. But, I was really hungry, so I wanted a late night snack. As I was walking towards the kitchen, I noticed the living room had flickering lights. I was like What the heck? Is the t.v. on? And I saw my big brother on the couch watching t.v. with the volume low. My eyes turned to the monitor and squirtle popped out. Yep, that was my first Pokemon/Anime experience. Ever since that day, I began to borrow lots of old anime films from my library. |
| Ike Ike Go Go Jump My Shamu!! My Candies: |
| At first, around 7 i watched the classic anime like DBZ Pokemon Yu Gi Oh.... but i didnt know it was anime then, i thought they were just cartoons. I didnt know what anime was until the time when i read the first Rurouni Kenshin manga at my local library. They only had the first volume and really loved it. I ended up buying the entire series and then i heard it was made into an anime and i went and watched it (still think the manga was way better). Thats when i REALLY got in to anime/manga. And then i got into Bleach ( fangirled over that for some months) and then Naruto then etc. I got hooked over all the popular shonen anime and thats how it went down lol |
| Fear leads to Anger. Anger leads to Hate. Hate leads to Suffering. (Yoda) |
| Wow...I'll never forget. When I was about 14-15, my parents would go traveling and I would go stay over at my grandmas house. I would sleep on the big sofa in the living room but I was always too hyper to sleep so I would turn the TV on at like 3am and start flipping the channels. I don't remember how I got to cartoon network but I did and they were showing the episode of Cowboy Bebop when Spike is all bandaged up and then the next night I saw Inuyasha and THATS when I knew whatever this kind of cartoon was...I liked it! lol So then every time after that I would flip it to cartoon network to watch Inuyasha at my grandmas house if I happened to stay over. Although it wasn't until I was about 17 that I actually remembered about Inuyasha and then started watching the series on my own at home. Good times :) |
| Hmm... Well it all started in an island far far away, long story's short, I was watching T.V and let's just say had limited channels back then and believe it or not my cartoons were all anime, and american made cartoons were what I was unfamilar with, I grew up on Doraemon, Mach Go Go Go, Astro Boy, all those really oldies, and progressed to Dragonball, Baki, Hajime no Ippo, Galaxy Angels, Cardcaptor Sakura, Sailor Moon, and all the like, and ever since then I've been an anime person |
 |
| To be honest I do not remember when it started but I secretly always loved anime since I was a child I always watched Poke'mon and DragonBallZ but then it stopped for a while, and I came to New Zealand and this is where I started watching Naruto/Bleach I thought they were great anime at the time... But then! I discovered the world of Anime! I started watching really good stuff and I was Hooked. Recently it has toned down a bit though since there isn't any good anime with a solid plot and story line. :S |
| It always seems to go that way, Etyo. The fact is that most anime is always okay at best. The really good shows come around occasionally and that is the stuff you remember fondly. There is also the stuff you remember because it's so bad. Most of the stuff in any given season is alright. You enjoy watching it but six months later you can barely remember it. It's always been that way. |

| I fel in love with anime when they showed the Gundam wings serie on dutch television when I was about 11 or so (i believe it was during 1999 or 2000).... this was for me by far the best thing ...then came ofcouse DBZ and Pokemon , digimon , yu-gi-ho (all first seasons ) but at the age 17, I decided to rewatch Gundam wings and came on my first anime site and watched seed and seed destiny 2 , and when that was finished it left a gaping hole in my heart ...then someone recommended Naruto to me ....and that is where it started after pulling all nighters with naruto , kiba , MAR and bleach ... I kept on searching and searching ! and now we are here, again feeling the gaping hole in my heart if there are no well made anime to watch ! :) so now hope this site and the clubs gonna help me out ! I try watching american series but they just annoy me, always the same setting no deep plots and if I did a month of american series , I fell back in my habit of chilling out and watching anime ! so I decided to fuck the rest and gave my all to anime :P |

| I remember watching Sailor Moon when it first aired in the US, which was in '95 i think. I was only 5 or 6 at the time and I didn't understand what anime was, but i knew there was a difference between Sailor Moon and the loony toons. I had also watched Toonami occasionally. It wasn't until I was 10 or so, channel surfing, and i see Ashitaka surrounded by little kadoma! (Princess Mononoke if you aren't aware) I fell in love. It was game over after that. I remember discovering Adult Swim, i would turn the tv volume down really really low and sit close. (past my bedtime ya know? had to be sneaky! :D ) My rebelliousness(lol) led to a new foundation though, Cowboy Bebop,YuYu Hakusho, inuyasha, plus anything airing between '01 and '03. After rediscovering Toonami i was in anime heaven. This also sparked a love for console gaming! ^.^ sorry its little long >.< its pretty cool to read everyone's story, anime became such a large part of myself that its nice to see others are in the same boat! lol |

I'm not one of them but it's up there.It wasn't until I was 10 or so, channel surfing, and i see Ashitaka surrounded by little kadoma! (Princess Mononoke if you aren't aware) I fell in love. FalconAway needlessly said: Nonesense. I love these stories.sorry its little long >.< FalconAway went on and said: So why would you feel that yours is too long? Gods, look at mine!its pretty cool to read everyone's story, anime became such a large part of myself that its nice to see others are in the same boat! lol |

I cant see it anymore in the real world and its depressing. lol GrinfilledCelt said: So why would you feel that yours is too long? Gods, look at mine! because it was 4am :p |
