My cousin introduce me to Naruto when i was like 9 or 10, liked it enough to watch it through, after i catched up with manga i read untill the last chapter and then i found out it was still ongoing at that point. Was really tired of waiting for the next one so i found Bleach, then One Piece, then FMA, Death Note...

Had a very nice group of friends who introduced me to actually watching animes, but before that I googled it so I could copy images off Google and draw them out, that's how I started drawing too.

I firstly watched Oda Nobuna no Yabou in Fall 2014, that was my beginning of watching Animes. But the very first Anime I really watched and liked was School Rumble (watched in 2012)https://osu.ppy.sh/forum/posting.php?mode=reply&f=75&t=303434#

It was on tv.
Antiverse
Started watching in 2011. Watched some about 150 TVs. Every year I watched less and less titles until I completely stopped.
I think I got tired of seeing such love and such friendship that will never happen to be irl. Also the anime girls' cuteness makes me sick by now - every time I remember the real girls, which I don't even want to talk about. Bleakness of the real world is unbearable - but the world of anime only intensifies the despair I feel. Anime is a very fragile shelter for people who couldn't find a place under the sun.

Via Jetix channel TV, I was just wondering about SonicX , Naruto and others. So I came to netz. xD

In the past when I was a kid, I would watch some anime with my mother. I never really understood it from how young I was, but I still enjoyed it. Then years later, at the end of middle school (around June 2014), I was looking for songs to listen to. I came across a cool looking AMV, and I really liked the song. I knew it was anime from my past experiences, so i decided to try and find that anime to watch. After watching Black Rock Shooter, it became my first anime when I decided to really get into watching, and enjoying anime.

A few years before my best friend found out that she was going to move to Japan because her dad was going to do his PhD there, she began to research and learn Japanese and all those stuffs, and kinda dragged me along with it. At first I only love Japanese culture and language, but then we discovered anime and it was a sad anime (can't remember what it's called) so I kinda got emotionally attached to it :')

It was a really boring day and I asked my mother if she has any ideas, she told me to draw Sailor Moon.

I was too innocent before i discovered anime. I was just scrolling through Facebook and found a lewd anime scene, I was curious so i did some research and started watching that anime xD. And after than happen more and more lewd anime stuff appear on my Facebook. Curiosity probably helped me discover anime :v




(The anime was Sakurasou no pet na Kanojo)

When I was 5, my friend happened to have the entire Inuyasha anime series and we would watch even with our parents around
they didn't really care tho :ooo
also from plain old television with the usual Dragon Ball, Naruto, Pokemon, etc :,D

I walked in my cousin's house with clannad on the TV and started watching it.
thought it was pretty nice but never touched anime until a year later

as a kid my father actually always watched dragonball with me and my brother. thus we started watching more anime on local tv as kids. a few years without anime went by and suddenly my brother started watching this new show, naruto. i thought it was a ga* kids show and didn't bother much but since my brother always urged me to, one day i gave it another chance. since i'm posting in this forum, you can probably imagine the rest of the story

(sorry if typos; on mobile phone rn)
