I started watching toonami on cartoon network had good shows like One Pice, Naruto, Prince of Tennis etc, at first I wasn't in to it, Watched more on adult swim like FLCL, Bleach, Eureka 7, Full Metal Alchamest, Ghost In The Shell, etc, then when I was in tenth grade I watched Bleach online and really liked it. I started geting interested in anime.

Some how started watching a little bit of Fairy Tail, then stopped for a bit and came back to watching it till the latest episode, like 23 then I went on to read the manga on a manga reading site I think it was manga reader and found other manga's there, and kept on reading and started watching some anime later on.

i always loved to watch pokemon,digimon and such when i was younger
i wasn't realy for that disney stuff xD...
then it stopped with that, i watched normal cartoons and such,then i heard of anime movies(hell i didn't even know the term anime then xD)
the movies were spirited away and howl's moving castle(still my fav's)
i watched them in like 2005 or 2006(waay over the date they came out i think xD)
then i haven't heard from anything,back to normal cartoons...
then i started to notice that other kids of my age were retarted idiots xD
in take around 2009 or 2010 i was watching tv and came across a few minutes of bleach,episode 19(if i'm correct) i loved it imediately, then looked on google and dloaded season 1, and so on...then i came across the term otaku,anime and all those things
then i watched more animes then bleach alone, and so on...and here i am now :D

spent a lot of time on the internet from a young age. kept hearing people talk about anime. started wondering what it was, googled it and got into it. i think first series i ever watched was bleach, which in hindsight is a testament to my own immaturity and a miracle that i didnt go NOPE.jpg right there. after that i got into other stuff, it was probably touhou that really did it for me though.

slightly related are my resulting glasses fetish and my love of studio shaft, the gen urobutcher and kinoko nasu.

For myself it wasn't only one sole cause. It was actually a process that took many, many years. First came the moe of animu characters then the claiming of them...and of course finally finding a waifu among them all. Consequently I had realized I had become an otaku when I purchased a dakimakura of mai waifu, Orz

When I was a child. My big bro loved to watch Dragon Ball and I would be stuck there watching it with him (as I broke my toys)...

Well, I think I became an Otaku when I was about 4. I had watched my first anime (My Neighbor Totoro), and then I watched more and more. AND NOW, I'm addicted to NARUTO SHIPPUDEN!! I have wall scrolls in my room, plushies, and I speak Japanese ALL BECAUSE of anime. I'm the Ultimate Otaku!! >W< :)
Skywards_old
really DBZ and Pokemon brought me in the world of Otaku.
Fullmetal alchmist really made me addicted to anime.
Last summer i think i watched at least 400+ hours of anime xD

Like every child it started with pokemon, digimon and Zu-gi-yo and animes like that.
Then my familyy started to buy movies from Studio Ghibli "Spirited away", "my neighbor totoro", "Castle in the sky", "kiki's delivery service" all of them ( bitches i got them on VHS tapes )
Like i got to say, I can still watch spirited away and enjoy it to 120%, you just got to love that movie.
Then my sister borrowed this anime called Ergo Proxy "http://myanimelist.net/anime/790/Ergo_Proxy" yes i know one of my first real animes was a Psychological but i loved it and then i started to watch animes over the internet and playing anime related games and all that stuff ^^
Then you figured out that anime was something bad .... i know swedish people are retarded and became a bit more non talk about it.
and then after i year i just stoped care and share my infomation about the awesome animes im watching to everyone! :)

Started off with anime for 13 years, then I started to have a lot of free time and involuntarily began getting more connected with the Otaku culture. <3
