How did you get into anime?

I can't remember how exactly did i started watching anime but I know that toonami was a big impact on me.

Cardcaptor Sakura was my first one. Ah, memories.

The first anime I watched was Sailor Moon a long time ago. And then Toonami and the Midnight Run/Adult Swim. Shit was pretty cash. I remember when FLCL first aired, it was pure bliss. I then got into fansubs.

How did I get into anime?

I got into reading manga because I was trying to get into some girl's pants (honest truth). I failed that obviously but discovered this new hobby.

Dragonball (didn't know what anime was at the time XD ) until a friend described it to me years later and then my path was re set and after years of watching anime and such. I am now here.

Though I'm glad that I'm into anime and the such, it's a great but sadly under rated life style. Well imo I think it's under rated XD

Anime and American cartoons didn't seem different to me... I just liked animated shows... then I saw the difference between Anime and American cartoons... I don't feel any different...

I grew up with anime,the first anime I ever saw was dragonball z, back when I was 4 and a half or so. At first I couldn't really distinguish between anime and cartoons, but eventually I noticed the obvious differences.

Very first animes in order from first are: Dragonball, Dragonball Z, Yu Yu Hakasho, One Peice, Naruto, DBGT, Hamtaro, FLCL, and the rest is history lol.

I watched a DVD of Akira (which a mate lend to me), then it was cardcaptor sakura, pretty much went from there.

When Dragonball appeared on the thing they call shiny tv back in the early 2000's, and from that moment on i was captivated by anime.

Idk if I answered this already but...

I think in the 80s, the Japanese anime market kind of stormed into the US with all those Saturday morning cartoons. Of course, I never knew any of them were originally Japanese, but this is what I grew up with. The first one I ever knew that about was Sailor Moon.

Also, although I don't speak a lick of Spanish, I loved watching Dragonball on Telemundo x D

Gundam models. It's quite common here back in the 90s to have a model or so. So after thinking where and what's the story behind these guys, I decided to watch it.

Eng Dubbed DBZ, Yu Gi Oh and other 4Kids crap

Since im from the philippines, id watch DBZ on out local tv channels. And then i saw my cousin watch lots of anime and read manga. But it happened later on.

As with most of us, Toonami. But I do remember watching M.D. Geist before that.

The started watching anime with Voltes V but I'm not a big fan of it. The first anime I was very entertained to is DBZ.

bro fist...

Oddly enough, not Toonami at first.
I had seen some of hmmmm Ronin Warriors, I think, with a friend of mine whose father brought her subbed copies from his trips to Japan. In fifth grade we were into that.
Of course Pokemon was a gateway into the animation style, but I never consider that a serious show.
The first series I sought out on my own after seeing was Serial Experiments Lain in late middle school, after seeing parts of it on TechTV late at night.

I didn't have Cartoon Network as a kid so I could only watch it at the homes of friends.
