Really? I didn't get to Vocaloid until osu!
Likewise, I've always had an isolated interest in anime, but it never got big until osu!

Fist of the North Star is what got me into watching anime. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is what got me into reading manga.

Though I still consider myself more of a fighting gamer due to Ultimate Marvel vs Cacpom 3 and 3rd Strike.

The manga called "Freezing". And to an extent, fighting games. Hmm...I forgot I already posted in here. Maybe I shouldn't stay up so late.

I loved dragon ball z when I was younger , then I didn´t like anime anymore , and a day buying boring summer study books I found slam dunk 1 and the tragedy of P.When I saw hanamichi´s face and then opened the manga(in an occidental way Lol)and I wanted to buy it dunno why.Then I started to buy more and watch more anime , and.....here is it !! 1 more otaku in the world :3

I think for me it started off as me catching a glimpse of cowboy bebop when I was younger. I always thought anime was cool when I was 10. I discovered manga at 12 and Started buying and reading. I got obsessed and got my own computer at 15, I started watching and reading online, and now it's kind of second nature. I come home from school and get on my computer to check for updates and then watch/read them. I think I became an otaku due to the fact that I never really fit in at school, I figured that if they can't accept me, fuck 'em, I got manga to read and anime to watch. I found this game fairly recently and I think it's made my diagnosis as an otaku stronger.....

Osu got me into this stuff. Before I had only skimmed the surface of weeabooland. That and my friends helped a lot too.

Yeah I started playing osu because it seemed like a fun rythm game, not because of it's theme.

Watched toradora, then after I finished it... "yah, I need to watch more anime like this one..."

Search, watch, search, watch, discovered nico nico douga, vocaloid, and other stuffs, joined otaku groups on facebook, and played stepmania and osu!

Still not attached to manga though (oh wait, my life isn't complete yet)

I'm no otaku, however I do have a glorious collection of Anime and imported games in my book case.

Not a great deal of Manga; I have the first volume of Soul Eater in Japanese, and a Character Book + CD regarding Touhou. The prize of my collection for me is a collection of ~50 hand-drawn stills from a 2000ish anime adaptation Niea Under 7.

No Figures, but I do have a Miku x Rin and a Clannad Poster, but they're not up.

Anime had always been around TV since I was young, well, usually bad English dubs... But influence from friends (most of my friends when I was younger happened to be Asian for some reason) lead me to get into anime. And, well, I ended up loving it xD

Wow. It's a bit similar to mine. Only that I started with anime first. And by Junior High, I acknowledge my status as an Otaku (and knew how certain public views them as "bad").

I started watching casually in the middle of 2007. Then I found out about myanimelist in November of the same year and I started to pick up more series.

True. But I started way back then when they started airing Cardcaptor Sakura (In 2002, if I remember correctly).
