How did you get into anime?

I recall seeing Sailor Moon and Dragonball when it was on tv in the early 90's. Then the first "real" anime I ended up actually buying and watching was Evangelion. Which got me hooked onto other stuff soon after.

also Blue Gender kinda openned by mind to watch animes not just about raw acion like dbz

Rented Armatage III and was hooked. I was around 12 or 13.

I saw a lot of anime when I was little but I got to say actually reading Love Hina was what got me really into aniem and manga world.

brother brought home dubbed naruto dvd with the first 3 episodes liek a couple years ago that was awesome

oh yeah my cuzin was watchin the subs and said it would be dubbed like a year or 2 later... and he was right... the smart ass. lol

When I used to live in Korea, there were a lot of anime on TV, but I was small and couldn't understand anything. I started anime after watching Love Hina... What a gateway anime. XD

and yu yu hakusho

cartoon network was showing tenchi muyo then outlaw star just loved them so much knew i was hooked.

i hear ya!

Sailor Moon was my first anime.

I was an 8 year old girl that loved Barbies and Princesses and video games.

Sailor Moon was like all of that combined into one nice TV show. xD (Cute blonde girl, that just so happened to be a princess, that also fought monsters. lol )

After that I watched Toonami and all of it's other anime shows that they put on. I really got into Pokemon and DBZ in elementary school. Dx

And then it was Adult Swim after that and I really got into Cowboy Bebop. In fact it's still my favorite anime series and I have all of the DVDs and the movie. Although I have never read the manga. /Too poor, too cheap

HELL YAH.

I got into anime by DBZ that was back in early 1990s :D

i don't remember that clearly but I believe it start with DBZ and Ranma 1/2

No wait know that i think about it, it might of been voltron and thunder cats.... man I'm old..

saw cousin watching "his and her circumstances" was instantly hooked... and have been forever since... it's like an addiction.

SECONDED, its amazing how the more child oriented television stations have always appeased my preferences. the hobby has developed over the years thanks to a bunch of variables, but the first anime that inspired my otakudom was sailor moon.

Heh, anime kinda grows on you........like a fungus.

Woooooooooooooot! For all those hooked mainy by 90's toonami!!

I dunno most people hate anime at first... its like you have to force em to watch the firs 3 eps of a series and BOOM there an anime zombie like the rest of us.
