I've been watching Pokemon and all the mainstreams as a child, but I started to really get into anime when I saw Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni few years ago. I didn't know animes can have stories this good.
A friend referred me to Death Note, which was the first manga I've ever read. Soon after, the same person referred me to The World Ends With You, and looking up videos for that on Youtube led me to Lucky Star and it all sort of escalated from there.
realise it myself... That I was born as an Otaku.. huehuehue :3
didn`t think of becoming a "REAL" otaku that should be called.... but well decent enough to be called as an otaku in my country
me? becoming otaku because... well probably my older sister introducing some manga and i get interest in that then watch anime in TV even though there`s not much anime in my country and i didn`t use cable channel
Oh yeah... I didn`t really know how the minimal amount to be otaku.... but if you want know you should probably go japan and see them....

i started...since i saw..a lot of anime picture on Facebook...and i started watch 1....and after that...on the 2nd day of discovering anime...i started watch more than 5 series in a day xD
Not having a life and being bored of the video games that were out at that time.
It actually started with K-On! actually.
It was pretty popular in my school. afterward i read manga, found out about light novels
... read a lot of them, saw some visual novels... amv's and then i liked japanese music a lot afterwards.
i don't know if this is a common reason or not......
Being an otaku is so much fun!!!!

I've only watched anime casually ever since I saw G Gundam on Toonami, but that all changed when I finished watching Madoka Magica to pass time while my laptop was getting fixed. I started obsessing over the songs and OST for a while and kept up with every anime season since, then finally giving in to buying PVC figurines of my favorite characters.
tl;dr Madoka caused me to become an otaku.

Pokemon and Naruto! Well, at first I only thought of these as a cartoon =='' I think I started anime at fourth grade. I salute my sister for introducing anime to me *-* My first official anime was Skip Beat!!~ :3
As i was a Child i still watched Anime: My first anime was Inuyasha!
But i watched so much Animes! Like: Detective Conan, Kamikaze kaito jeanne, Ranma1/2, Pokemon and Digimon!
Then i started to draw a lot of anime. So i became an Otaku! Haha! <3

Depends what point you count as an Okatu.
If it was when I started getting into Anime, it was way back when I was like, 9 with Digimon.
If manga is the point, it's probobly, like, 14, reading Narto/Bleach/OP.
I'd classify myself as one for sure from 3 years ago, when I started getting into foruming more, anime music, less mainstream stuff, and, a while ago, Touhou.

Well... I like animu.

~When I was very little, my brother used to watch lots of Shounen anime on TV... it was very natural for me to love anime
I loved anime until a point where I got into high school, then I shunned all anime and Japanese related stuff. This lasted one or two years. This period of time actually comes into my osu! career, some oldies here may recognize the times where I was like this ^^;
But now, I stopped trying to be someone different and accepting myself~ I love anime and touhou and everything Japanese

Not having a life.
I grew up in Japan, that's whyy.
My story:
I first listened to Vocaloid, then I started reading Full Moon wo Sagashite, then I watched the anime (which I did not like) then I visited my cousins in California which one was an otaku, then I started reading manga. But soon eventually my friend told me to watch anime instead.

When I was young, watching TV was one of things I liked the most, anime was a part of it, but I only could watch the typical anime series, but when I finally had access to internet I can say I had become an otaku D:
cardcaptor sakura changed my life when i was a kid to be an otaku. though, i'm not thatkindof-otaku
My friend introduced me to vocaloid, then crunchyroll.com and written a list of animes I should watch
I'm glad I became an otaku, Osu!, anime and hatsune miku are my best friends now.
Screw real life friends. lol.

lol then he's not likely to be posting here in the first place. Besides, Japanese "countryside" is a lot more advanced than you think.Yafutsufa wrote:

A lot of mangaka are from the countryside too. Fujiko Fujio included.
EDIT: Fixed broken quote box
You're right, sir "yafutsufa" that not everyone grew up in japan is an otaku. Oinari explained it all, like Oinari said it's easier to get influenced when you grew up in japan. By the way, I'm not a "Sir".Yafutsufa wrote:

My sister. ^w^ She was always watching Sailor Moon, Inuyasha and Ranma 1/2 so it just kind of rubbed off.
I didn't get extremely into anime until I got my first computer though ><
It's all kinda fuzzy on where I became a huge fan, but somewhere along those lines.
Now i'm super socially awkward and the internet is my safe haven! (I wouldn't have it any other way. >w>)
~Also taking Japanese classes :3~
