Funny enough, it was a friend that had liked a page on Facebook and I thought why not check it out. The rest they say is history.

I heard a friend talking about some tipe of 'Titans being killed by soldiers' and I was like WTF, then he told me that it was anime, and the anime that he was talking about was 'Shingeki no Kyojin' or 'Attack on Titan'. This was 6 years ago, and now, I can't stop watching anime, I love it. Asuna and Zero-Two best waifus <3

I grew up watching a ton of Cowboy Bebop, Naruto, One Piece, Pokemon, Digimon, Yugioh when I was a kid. During my teens I decided to watch Fullmetal Alchemist and a few more popular animes around 2010s. Ever since i've done nothing but watch.

While I was dealing with depression, I would watch Youtube a lot. I found a recommended video on YouTube that was a funny moments for some anime called Trinity Seven and after watching it I decided to watch the whole anime because it looked funny. After watching it I looked on MyAnimeList and found different recommended ones that were like Trinity Seven. That's when I got into anime.

I was exposed to anime before I even knew it was anime: Pokemon, Digimon, SonicX

It was in my first year of highschool I started noticing that there is a specific style of animation that is much different from western cartoons. But I didn't know what to call that style, so it was hard to find. Enter my second year of highschool, and my sister comes to me with a recommendation from her friend to watch Fullmetal Alchemist. The rest is history.

This was me, but I watched Sonic X, Dragon Ball Z Kai, and Dinosaur King, all on 4kids Saturday mornings.

Later, in the beginning of high school (either 9th or 10th grade), I was exposed to this clip:


Of course, I got curious, and did some research; Shimoneta was my first "actual" anime.

Used to watch Pokemon on TV, I can't really say this is where it started though, I didn't even know it was anime.


About 3 years ago a friend of mine told me about Sword Art Online. I watched it and instantly fell in love. I was a little let down on pretty much everything after the events of Sword Art Online in the story, but I love this show for introducing me into a world which I will never forget.

That's one hell of a way to dive in. Not sure if I would have watched anime if my first wasn't something as awesome as FMA

no

I used to watch Dragonball and Shaman King on a TV channel I found when I was like... 7? maybe 8?
I had no idea that it was anime until I eventually started searching for similar shows.

I was always a huge pokémon fan growing up and would wake up at 6 every Saturday to catch the new episode. Then I got a friend that was hooked on DBZ, pretty weeb dude, but cool nonetheless.
We played around with various storymaking and eventually we watched some anime. Done deal, weeb ever since

When you're Asian, you grow up with it, watching stuff like Doraemon, Crayola Shin-chan, and the like. It just kind of happened after I saw my sister watch Shugo Chara! and a few years later, I discovered To Love Ru and I got hooked on anime afterwards.

My brothers were watching Parasyte one day on TV back in 2016ish & I just happened to pass by right when there was an epic fight scene, so I asked them what show it was and the rest is history. XD

When I was little I used to go to West Virginia to visit my great grandparents and my cousin used to live with them and his room was full of anime and manga. Every time I visited them I would go straight to his room and read the Shonen Jump magazines. When he left to live on his own he left the Shonen Jump magazines (and a few hentai mangas on accident). I decided to take them home and they are with me to this day. Except the hentai, those were confiscated :(

Honestly my first time finding out about anime was through youtube lmfao

I heard about it from my group of friends, they always keep talking about one piece or bleach, they would recognize masks or some stupid stuff and I kinda felt left out.
So I asked one of them if he could recommend me a few beginner anime, not some heavy stuff and long like one piece or other long anime.
Technically Death Note was the first anime I watched fully, but the one that actually got me into watching anime daily was Elfen Lied, which I watched like half a year later after Death Note.
Then I proceeded to watching more triple A titles like Shingeki no Kyojin, Clannad, Swort Art Online, etc..
Up to this day, which has been like 2.6 years, I managed to watch about 150 anime series. Im a little over the half in One Piece and I finished Bleach long time ago. :)
As I started watching more and more anime, I started to develop my own taste which is basically Romance + comedy or action + comedy.
