When I was a kid, I had a babysitter who introduced me to anime.
We read manga together too.

Uhhhhhh
My uncle read manga I think when he was younger and whenever I went over to their house when I was little there'd always be some manga sitting in the corner for his sons (which is why my first manga is I think Dragon Ball)...
Then when I was like in 5th grade I was reintroduced to manga, cause someone gave me mangafox.com, Then the otakuness began...

I think I was just somehow convinced into watching Lucky Star and it started there. I don't really understand how it all worked out.
Real girls/lady/woman or whatever you call them.Its all because of them i have become an Otaku.

I went to my friend's house and he was watching D. Gray - Man,that got me hooked into Anime and later to other Otaku stuff like VNs, Manga, etc.
Browsing Roku TV and saw Crunchyroll on it and was like "hmm this looks interesting" and now god help me
I got bored one day and dicided to watch some old animes from my childhood. When i watched them originally I assumed they were cartoons now I know they are still cartoons, but not from The rest of the world.
Firstly, I was persuaded by friends to watch the Madoka movies, then lost a bet and had to watch the Evangelion movies..
I'd say I had a dark start in anime...

) then i just got hooked, i remember getting addicted to Naruto back in the days, nowadays i just watch everything by genre lol

Saw random nichijou clip on youtube, watched series.
Here we are now.

How did I become an otaku?
Curiosity.
Before I became a real otaku, I used to watch Bakugan Battle Brawlers and Tokyo Mew Mew a lot.
Then, I joined the manga club at the school I'm currently at (it only lasted for one year) when I started, and I read the Tokyo Mew Mew manga. Then there was a year where I didn't read any manga or watch anime. Through all of that time, I was drawing in the anime/manga art style.
Then, last March, I was listening to Nightcore and was curious. I searched up "vocaloid ievan polka" and from there, I found Vocaloid.
My first proper anime I watched online was Black Rock Shooter because I liked the song, and then here I am now!
Ever since, I've been watching anime, drawing in the style, listening to J-pop and liking manga, and I hope to buy my first Nendoroid figurine soon. ^_^

Well a few of my friends have told me about anime and stuff back before I really got into it. I listened to Vocaloid at a really young age and in 6th grade one of my good friends told me to watch To-Love-Ru and gave me a list of animes to get into and so I did >o< and here i am now ,
Idk, watched Fullmetal Alchemist from TV or something years ago and then as a result bought some manga and looked up some more series and here we are.
I got a hold of the first dragonball mangas when I was like 8 and saw bulmas boobs and was like :0000
After that I didnt do much until I got the same 4 books as a present. After that I collected all the DBZ mangas. When I was like 10 or 12 idk when exactly, I saw this cool new series faller naruto on shonen jump. I went online after I read the 6th chapter in Jump and searched up my first anime other than what I saw of DBZ.
10 years later here I am. Completely fkn skewed by the shit Ive seen.

Watched the standard Pokemon when young. Went over to a friend's house sometime when I was around 8 or 9 and saw VHS fansubs of Cardcaptor Sakura. Have been hooked ever since.
Oh right mogs, Pokemon was my first introduction to anime, but by then I didn't even know it was anime, but just regular cartoons.
That's a good question! ^^
Well for me it was mainly tsubasa reserVoir chronicle, I guess... and also the fact that my friends since I was 13 were mostly geeks, then otakus themselves. I was both before being actually able to be so, since at my parents' videogames were banned and TV was so often off. Hayao Miyazaki helped a lot to let otaku culture appear at home, though. Thanks "howl's moving castle"!
And definitively anime addicted since I watched code geass.

Some guy from austria told me about Attack On Titan 
Well, my friends were huge fans of anime. I didn't understand it in the beginning, but as soon as I started OSU, I began to notice some interesting things about the otaku culture.
And now I'm here, spending all my money to manga, drawing equipment and stuff like that. Totally worth it!

Kinda hard to explain.
I became Anime Lover (not otaku yet) since I was a child, maybe @ 8 years old. IIRC, I watched Tsubasa Reservoir and maybe naruto.
And I became an otaku @ 15 years old, when that's the 1st time I played yuri eroge, sono hanabira.
Became a real otaku (have anime related item) this year July, when I bought Reika photobook, bought VIP event ticket, and bought Kido (Mekakucity Actor) sweater
Edit: I Forgot that I read doujinshi already when I still @ 6th grader. LoL XD

My uncle taught me many things about Japan's culture and so. Also, because of him I discovered Anime and I just.. became attached to this. Since 8 years o/
First, about one year ago one of my friends recommended me to watch Clannad & After story. I went ahead and it was pretty good, but then I forgot about it for 8 months or so.
Then, I realized all the songs that give much pp are from anime so I was like -_- I must watch more anime to see what's going on here.
Yep watched Angel beats and sao and got (kind of) addicted, and here I am.
P.S. I hate you Tom94 why you make high pp songs on anime

For me it was my favourite anime of all times, "Sword Art Online". I just simply love that anime ^^
A need for escapism. Same thing pulled me out of that mindset later.
Watching Fairy Tail with my friend. I liked the anime and kept on watching it at home.
Vocaloid, after knowing Vocaloids, I started to know about anime more, because of Vocaloid songs hue
I shared rooms with my mom and brother before. The room had a tv and whenever my brother would wake up first, he'd turn on the tv and switch the channel to animax where it showed nostalgic anime. (detective conan, black jack etc) so yeah, that's about it.
Actually I'd say, it was osu xd.
I used to come across anime-stuff many times before but never got interested in it. Then after some time spent in osu, I've decided to give it a shot. However I'm far from calling myself an otaku, it's just that I enjoy anime stuff

Well i became a Otaku because of the best actions , romance , and comedy like Gintama well i laugh so hard in dat anime so i learned about there styles and trivia .. i've watched 340 + animes and played so many animes like for example Dragonball and Fate/Zero
Well my older bro told me to watch Zero No Tsukaima. (that was the first real anime I've ever watched)
And I liked it so he told me more about it so yeah, that was like 5 years ago. 'Till the day I'm glad and I don't regret liking anime. :3

From the start:
- Having a computer
- Got internet
- Played COD
- Discovered osu! through someone playing COD | Q1 2012
- Downloaded osu! because yeah | Q2 2012
- Got bored of osu! and tried to find something else to enjoy | Q3 2012
- Googled "blue hair anime girl" because curious
- Lucky Star appeared
- Watched the first episode.
- Enjoyed it
- Then everything else happened.
I think I became otaku by some funny anime movies like Sora no Otoshimono and Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu. No game no life also.
