I found out about anime at a young age (around 5 or 6), and started watching shows like Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Dragon Ball. After a year of watching anime, my parents (annoyed at all of the yelling evident in anime) banned me from watching anime altogether. After that I didn't really watch anime until my uncle introduced me to Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet several years later. Eventually I found anime like Bleach, Sword Art Online, and Soul Eater and my dive into Otaku culture was inevitable. From there I found more stuff similar to anime such as Vocaloid, J-pop, Touhou, and games like OSU!.

I used to read a monthly Nintendo magazine, "Club Nintendo", which, for some time, had some pages dedicated to Japanese series/retro games. This section was called "Un vistazo a Japón" (A glimpse of Japan), and, to be honest, I didn't really like that they would use pages to talk about things that weren't precisely Nintendo games. ( ; =ᆺ= )
I remember one day being particularly bored, so I decided to finish reading my Nintendo magazines, since I always avoided reading Un vistazo a Japón. Needless to say, I was very much impressed by the way they talked about those japanese series, and more so of how they presented Neon Genesis Evangelion.
A couple of days after that wise decision (hehe), I watched my first espisode of Eva. I have to say that I wasn't really aware I was watching anime or that I was getting into the otaku culture until my third or fourth anime. I also discovered Death Note and Ef: a Tale of Memories through that magazine. ^^
Good times ~ ( =ᆺ= )

In my school friends watching anime.One of them was Fullmetal:Alchemist who, out of curiosity, i started to watch. Later I watched Death Note. And so began my adventure with Anime. Even before I became a Otaku I listened to Nightcore.
Friend was watching Death Note, laughed and called him a weeb and here i am playing hentai maps on osu! a year later... yeah.
Cartoon Network and Toonami used to watch every day after school.

I discovered anime 2 years ago, my friend asked me if I knew the anime called "Free!". I didn't so she showed it to me and I freaked out, watching an anime that was also based on the sport I love was a dream come true! (to me...)

I was normally playing video games like the usual, until my brother plays Anohana on Netflix. I just got bored playing and wanted to see what's happening and I just got hooked by it. Then I spent my 5 hours of my time to watch the anime, after that I just wanted more anime to watch. Eventually it made me into a weeb.
My friend was fan of Anime. He was watching naruto and i got into it
when i was in 8th grade,i was recommended by someone to watch naruto,and i fell in love with it and then started watching more and more anime
From my friends ,thanks to them :3c
I read Doremon mangas and eventually started watching shows.
was looking for a specific genre of anime and found oreimo it was pretty cool
I was watching TV, the first anime i saw was dragon ball z.
From what I remember, I discovered anime when I was in kindergarten by my sisters as they were a huge anime fans in the 2000s, often draw in anime/manga style and own a huge collection of manga (I remember them being a huge Prince of Tennis and Hetalia fans). They sometimes watch anime with me during my childhood and introduce me to anime that I might like (Fullmetal Alchemist, Naruto and Digimon just to name a few). So yeah, I probably grew up with anime.
I friend of mine spent months trying to convince me about watching some anime, until I gave in.
IIRC it was Gabriel Dropout the one that made me stick around anime.

too long ago to remember
My friend forced me to watch it >.>
I discovered anime from watchmojo and screwattack (yeah I know memes). I already knew that anime existed but those two youtube channels really convinced me to start watching it. It also helped that I had a friend in middle school and we would watch anime and youtube during class.
My brother got me into watching anime
When I was a kid, my I watched "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea" that my mum downloaded for me. After few years I've watched "Your Name" and became anime lover. Anyways, I've stopped watched it so actively lately.

A friend of mine told me to watch some so I watched the seven deadly sins and then konosuba. I liked it.
Found a manga book in my school library, took interest and eventually i got hooked.
I was very young, on tv i remember some Naruto chapters (if I remember correctly it was around shunnin exams).
I didn't like it but it enganged me to Hinata and Naruto vs Pain.
