How did you get into anime?

[adult swim]
TOONAMI

I started watching Inuyasha and DBZ.
Then moved on to Ranma, EVA and escaflowne.
Still have yet to finish escaflowne.....
But after that, I read shonen jump and mangas, and went from there as well.

Tenchi Muyo, Dragon Ball Z, Kikaider, Yu Yu Hakusho, Detective Conan... basically anything that showed on Toonami at one point

R.I.P Toonami

Watching dragonball on sunday mornings, used to always wake up early and watch it with my brother...surprisingly got us out of having to go to church pretty often.

And then i discovered Anime Network on demand while channel surfing. Chobits and Daiguard.





good times.

A friend introduced me to Naruto. ._.

i started watching tenchi muyo and sailor moon

first animes were pokeomn and sailor moon

I had a major swimming competition and I needed something to take it off my mind, and I ended up watching anime that my friend lent me. And now I'm a full fledged otaku! >.<

Accidentally watched one channel late at night, which was showing Last Exile. Since I've been fed-up with a lot of western-style art, I immediately became interested in it, and begun searching internet for it.

And it snowballed from there.

I started with Pokemon, Sailor Moon, and Cardcaptor Sakura. Then I started watching Yu-Gi-Oh! to the point where i was playing the trading card game.

Then I got immersed into Toonami and Adult Swim: Eureka Seven, Fullmetal Alchemist, Prince of Tennis, Cowboy Bebop.

Then I discovered the internet when a cousin introduced me to Devil May Cry and Claymore.

I used to watch Doraemon and Card Captor Sakura as an elementary student, then got a few year of hiatus..

Then suddenly cheap broadband came into town.. Rewatched CCS and watch FMP!, El
Hazard and Rave..

And it goes downhill from that point..

Toonami aired on cartoonnetwork. my first show was Ronin Warriors. then sailormoon, dragon ball z, and finally pokemon. those were my first anime. after that i was hooked. though i might have seen others. my brother and sis knew about dragon ball when it used to air. i might have watched that on tv. but i'm not sure

I'm fairly new to Fakku and I was wondering how everybody else first got into anime and manga, whether its a new thing for you or has been a major part of your life.

I first got into it when I was 9-10 years old when I saw Card Captor Sakura on tv, I also got the internet around the same time, so after seeing it I wanted to have a look for more and it has become a major part of my life since.

DBZ and bulma naked body getting bop by krillin... my first doujin.

Let's see... The first anime to really take my interest was DBZ, like many others. I remember watching it with my dad and brother when it'd come on--was always something I enjoyed. Hmm... But i didn't really know what anime was back then, at the time, I just watched cartoons, and saw that as such as well.

The anime that really got me interested, and made me the otaku (albeit a lazy, small, one) I am now, was... Gundam Wing, if I remember correctly. I loved that anime to bits; watching it with my brother daily, trying to follow the story as much as my simple child-mind would allow.

As for manga, it was Rurouni Kenshin and One Piece. I remember those distinctively, and I love them both. I regret to say that I did not watch Rurouni Kenshin when it aired on Toonami, since I didn't know about it at the time. (Read the manga years after its cancellation/end). I regret, even more, to say that I did watch One Piece, first, on the shit-awful 4Kids version. Luckily, I wanted to read the manga of it to see it some other things, and I was greatly, and pleasantly, surprised. It's been my favorite manga ever since.

It all started with me watching unhealthy doses of this mofo's show.



THE REST IS HISTORY LOL

as with most people, DBZ was the actual first anime i watched, even if i didn't know it at the time.

other than that, cardcaptor sakura and .hack//SIGN.
tsukasa was my first anime crush, even after i found out

Spoiler:

he/she was a girl.

[b]first manga i ever bought and completed was pita-ten.
i still love and own the books to this day. <3
