The anime that got me were the Gundam series and inyuasha. I watch Digimon, pokemon,sailor moon, and etc when i was a kid but those didnt really push me to being an OTAKU!
The first one that led met to discover anime was Detective Conan. The ones that were anime that I didnt know were anime until like...a few months ago were Pokemon, Digimon, stuff from Toonami.
Has anyone else noticed that "Toonami" = "Toon" + "ami" and "ami" all appear in "anime"?
Well , Although I started watching Poke'mon at a younge age , I dont think I really considered that Anime as its more of a cartoon.
I used to watch here and there of DBZ but I was never really into it. So years had past and one night I watch this movie called Princess Mononoke , and I belive thats what got me hooked on Anime.
Right after that I watch the Ghost in the Shell movie , later on leading to a Mech series called Mobile suit Gundam ( which I love up too 0083 ) and Cowboy Beebop , Inuyasha ( which didnt stay long in my watching list ) and eventually lead me to reading Manga , which I enjoyed much more , because there is so much more story to the title :D
