I believe most of us got into anime at quite a young age, just that we did not know of such a term. Instead we called them cartoons. Doraemon, Pokemon, Cardcaptor Sakura, Sailormoon, Slam Dunk, etc, had always been known to me as cartoons until I learned of the term "anime".
yeah i heard ppl use the word "anime" alot and when ppl where talking to me using that word i was just nodding not knowin what its was... then someone(forgot who) said it was a type of fn porn... then i went to an anime store cause my cousin used to buy fansubs of rurouni kenshin n dbz and yeah posters were talking about anime and listed shows and im like oh duh its all japanese cartoons. which i noticed were all the cartoons with quality artwork lol.
