I know this topic has been talked about a lot, but I wanted to know
how did everyone start watching anime?
and what was your first one?

I started watching anime back in 2008 my first anime ever was "Heat Guy"
I watched "detective Conan" before, but it was dubbed.
I was a little kid and I got hooked when I watched the first episode with my brother.

watching anime was a rare thing where I used to live, but that
has changed now, which is nice =)

at the end, I'm sorry if I Misspelled any word =)

Well I don't really remember a date or a period but I remember what and how haha

Without counting Pokémon, Yu-gi-oh etc, my 1st anime was Cardcaptor Sakura which I watched with my older sister, then I saw the first 54 episode of Inuyasha with french dub (I'm french yeah) on the TV. The TV not diffusing more than these 54 episodes, I watched the rest of it,with my sister again, on internet and finished it, followed by Kanketsu-hen and then the adventure starts !

It was when I was 16 that I started watching lots of anime with Mirai Nikki, SAO etc, and now there I am with 103 completed on MAL haha.


PS : Nice subject mate !

When i was a lil' kid i used to watch Pokémon, Dragonball Z and many other titles of the moment (i didn't knew what anime was back then, so i considered them simple cartoons).
My passion for anime has started in 2015, when i watched Death Note on Netflix for the first time, since then i continued watching more and more untill i coulnd't stop. Nowdays i'm searching for the perfect anime to fulfill my hunger for entertainment.

The first ones I saw were the typical 90s kids' anime, like Dragon Ball Z, Yu Yu Hakusho, Cardcaptor Sakura and Digimon. It was when I got access to cable TV that I had Animax, an (at the time) Anime only channel and I watched some incredible titles like Fullmetal Alchemist, Death Note, Evangelion, etc. After the channel disappeared I kinda lost interest in the medium until I watched Shingeki no Kyojin when everybody was talking about it, and although I was very disappointed with it (I consider it average at best), I decided to check what I was missing and therefore I want to check all the best reviewed titles and the most popular shows to find out, and I found some pretty amazing things so far, so I'm hooked right now!

Well if you count childhood things, my first anime would be doraemon that aired on tv. And like other kids back then i watch anything that aired on tv like db,yuyu hakusho, shaman king, etc.

But tbh, that got me really hooked up on anime was naruto, i even collect the manga for god's sake.

And the one that really got into anime seriously was back in 2011, my friend told me to watch anime seasonally. So, I was overwhelmed at first and didnt know that anime has a very wide range of genres. And I still watch anime till this day.

I was watching a Youtube video, when suddenly they were talking about Yoko Littner. So I searched her up on Google and found out, that she's from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Me being a horny teenager started watching that Anime.
That was 2013 and I don't regret it one bit.

I don't quite know when it all started, but I remember that my older sister kept talking about this amazing show called ''Bleach''. I remember she tried to explain the entire plot, and every single character, yes every single one. I was still pretty young and got really interested, so I asked her where I could start watching this, but she told me that it was WAY too long for my first anime so she made me watch ''Ouran Highschool Host Club'' and after that I was completely hooked! (and I still am ・ε・)

I´ve been watching anime since i was 6-7 years, like dragon ball, captain tsubasa, doraemon... the typical ones that were on TV those days, but when i really started to be interested in this thing of anime was in the moment when i finished watching guilty crown which is the best anime i´ve ever saw. This happened on 2015 and i made my own list on paper with different animes until someone told me about anime list, and now i´m here.

My first anime was Heidi. That was so long ago that I barely remember anything from that show. I think I was 4 years old. I watched TV every day, so there was no way around anime. When I was 6 or 7, all these shows like Pokemon, Digimon, Dragon Ball, etc started airing, and a few years later Yu-Gi-Oh, One Piece and many more.

If you don't count the anime that I could watch on TV in my country, then my first anime would be Naruto.
I started watching it because of a I used to play Minecraft with. He was into Naruto and on the survial server we played on we had a clan wich we called (I don't know what its called anymore (ANBU?), its the group of shinobi that danzo leads). Because I had no idea what he was talking about I searched for it on google. I found the anime Naruto and started watching it in dub unitl there was no dub available anymore and then I continued in sub and started watching other anime. I think all of this happend in 201 or 2013

sorry for the long message *try's posting picture of potato but fails*
