Prepare your selves for a story.
When i was jong i always loved to look at cartoon network,
Until i realised that they removed most of the Anime from it.
2 years later I started to look up techno music videos that's when i found pictures related to Anime.
From there on i continued to study the art and animation.
After a while i stumbled upon an site Just Dubs < terrible I hate dubs....
Until I realised how bad they where >.<
I went to YouTube.
Unfortunate not many subs there so that's when i started to download since in my country the government doesn't broadcast Anime!
2 weeks later i started to upload Anime to my YouTube channel for that i got an YouTube partnership.
Not soon after i received 2 Copyright strikes from Sony music Japan(Silly me
Later i found out that there was a site called Nyaa.eu So i started to download from there,
After 3 month's of watching i ended up at an Anime called Mirai Nikki I've read that the Manga is different from the main story so i started to read Manga.
Not soon after you can find me in school reading Aanga from my Ipod if not that it would be me listening to UkAnimePodcast.
Then the time final came me and my brains started working we found an Website called Archonia and bought some real hardware(English translated Manga.)
When i saw that package slide trough the door i acted like it was the 1,000,000 Million ticket!
I grabbed it ran upstairs and started reading.
Later i was so obsessed that i almost watch Anime 24/7
The worst that happened to me was that i kept watching Anime until my eyes where hurting then i switched over to Manga!
Now i still enjoy the wonders that Japan brings us!
I hope you liked it

I think everything started from watching Digimon, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Sailor Moon in preschool. When I knew how to read my older brother gave me the first volume of Dragon Ball because he didn't like ''Japanese shit'' (my dads friend gave it to him) I fell in love with it so I started to search for all the other volumes in stores nearby but instead of Dragon Ball I found Tokyo Mew Mew. I found out that there was a anime of it and started watching it and when I was done with TMM I found Sugar Sugar Rune, Shugo Chara! and started to listen to An café, Miyavi and Minimoni.
Then in 4th grade I got friends with similar interests online and it was my little secret pleasure until 5th grade when my IRL friends got to know they forced me to stop liking ''embarrassing stuff'' and be normal. In 7th grade I started to watch anime again, read some BL manga,vnowadays I like yuri more than yaoi though. I also found Perfume, Mucc, 12012 and other Japanese bands I started listening to.
And that's pretty much it.

My sister showed me Ganz (really sweet gore anime), Naruto and Azumanga Daioh. After that I just started watching other animes on my own I guess.
Also for the sake of being hipster. Not many people watched anime in my surroundings at that time, I was still in elementary school.
After that I pretty much started reading doujinshis, watching hentai and playing eroges. This made me an otaku imo.

My friend suggested me Fairy Tail and I started to search other anime by my own.
I always liked animes that were shown on tv like one piece, dragonball, and countless more
but my first anime i watched in japanese with subs was elfen lied and i loved it so much that i bought all the mangas too
Think that was when it all began ^^

I used to watch DBZ, Inuyasha, and Eureka Seven late at night on TV when I was like 4-5. I also ended up watching Sailor Moon since mother got me a video tape of it before, and then since I liked it so much she bought me more of them. I never really went through the weeaboo phase tho, even when I was younger.
watching Fairy Tail at TV and then decided to search at twitter..
and that's how itrolls goes 
and that's how it
just graduated from being one
Well, I don't know If I am An Otaku or not for now... But the only thing I do first is watching Anime ( My First Anime was Naruto BTW ), then I 'm curious about Manga, so I read it too, Sometimes I am Playing Eroge too, Especially the Dating-Sims... :3
It all started on Death Note with my sadistic personality.
Ending up on going to a Anime Shop to buy the notebook.
And seeing everything...
Henceforth, Otaku

I started watching anime dubs at the local channels here in my country ever since I was a kid. I discovered that they air stuff that already finished or that they are delayed by tons of eps (I actually thought that they immediately dub it or something lol). Then I discovered the internet aaaaaand it started.
my friends were continuously telling me to watch it and then I watched it.
When I came into mind after that I was an Otaku

For me it wasn't anime per se but the distinctiveness of Japanese music (mostly J-pop) that got me interested in Japanese culture. The very first Japanese song I heard was something I downloaded using P2P software (KaaZaa Lite) because the Japanese in the title made me curious. Been liking Japanese music ever since. At the time I liked Pokémon too, but so did half of my school because it was all the rage then, so that doesn't really count.
Childhood obsession with OP/ED of anime.
WAIFUUU!!!
Just I like animes!

I saw a Naruto music video that had the song 'Fields of Hope' by Tanka Rie. I was immersed into it a few months after that.
boredom and my eyes like watching something with super powers and effects and also anime is addictive
My friends whom I hang out with. They like to discuss and talk about anime/manga and Japanese games, so it was natural for me to be influenced by that. Peer Pressure for goodness sake?
osu!
(all your stories are so interesting,compaired to mine o3o)
Inkshewolf introduced me into hetalia,then that branched off to Black Butler,then touhou,then mirai nikki,then lucky star,then puella magi madoka magica,then the melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
now I never go outside because I have yet to finish Shugo chara! and to start Deadman's Wonderland and OHSHC to watch the many missed episodes of tokyo mew mew.
