Well when I used to watch the Pokemon anime as a child I was told that people call that an "anime".
Then about 5 - 8 years later when I was in Year 5 and 6 at school I watched a bit of Ranma with my only friend at the school I had recently moved to, wasn't too interested at the time. In Year 6 we watched some anime on the interactive whiteboard as a few people from the lower year wanted it at Lunchtime. I decided to stay and watch it, enjoyed it... a lot.
Then, in Year 7 in early 2014 I decided to find an anime to watch as I was really bored. It was Black Rock Shooter. I didn't watch much more anime until I started playing osu! in April 2014.... and now I'm sort of a mix between an otaku and a weeaboo.
