my friend bought a swedish translated manga of Love hina, and later on he showed me a episode of naruto, so yeah i started reading a lot as a beginning but now i watch anime more than reading.

When I first saw an anime show, I didn't even know it was called anime. I used to see a lot of occidental cartoons like Popeye, Tom and Jerry, Swat Kats, etc. I was interested because the quality of the drawing and animation was different and because the first anime I saw had combat. First taste of anime was Dragon Ball. First full serving of anime was Samurai X: The Animation on HBO Asia.

I started before DB and DBZ in the late 70's early 80's with Star Blazer, Granddizer, and Van Guard Ace. Didn't think anything of it until I saw DB with my kids and I told them I saw that when I was there age and then it went crazy. Now I'm looking for complete series to watch with them and some for myself when they're in bed because they are a little too young for some of it.

it was Ninja Scroll ... plain and simple. the humor,the art, the swordplay, the magiks, and the storyline was GREAT. since then i'm watching ALOT of Pokemon Battle Dimension, plus some downloaded.

Ninja Scroll is still the bomb. Princess Mononoke and Howl's Moving Castle also.

I watch them just for dreaming in my free time. And for fun.

Well, i watched naruto before but i wasn't really a addict, and then i saw Devil May Cry (Cuz i loved the game so much) and then Bleach and that was it... I watched bleach all 250 episodes in 1 week, now i can't stop looking for more

Man... I feel a bit old disclosing this then; for me I was first introduced to Japanimation (as it was referred then) by an older friend of mine in middle school.
We watched the English dubs of Guyver, after that I was hooked. I had never seen such over the top action in film or animation until then.

Even now me and the wife still catch a few new series when we have the time.

i had started watching some anime on tv. I watched the anime zoids first. during a summer i got bored and so i decided to check out what other anime there was and i just got hooked

For me, I was on vacation. My family and I finally got to a hotel and it was like 3 am, for some reason i wasn't tired so i plopped on the tv and Yu Yu Hakusho was on and i couldn't turn away. Then some months later i stumbled on to Dragonball and then DBZ that was it for me. Although i didn't really start to devour anime until i was paying for it all the time and thinking "this is BS there has to be a better way" and then the miracle of the internet lead me to a gold mine of enjoyment
