How did you discover anime?

My older brother influenced me when i was 6 when i watched with him.. first i thought it sucks but at the end i become an otaku :D

I watched a cute AMV and I wanted to know so bad what it was,I found out it was a anime called silver fang legend Gin and ever since then I fell in LOVE with anime <3 :)

well when i was like 5 and stuff i was watching t.v there i was watching pokemon,than digimon and than yu gi oh and so on i started liking anime

I was talking on the phone with my best friend and she mentioned a show called Death Note. I thought it sounded interesting. So one day I was bored and decided to watch it.

I loved it so much, I decided to watch even more anime.

My brother and I are tired of watching cartoons again and again when we are about 5 to 7 years old so we try to explore the tv a little bit and a anime channel suddenly caught our attention so starting from then on we started to love anime, but we do still watch cartoons.....

I stated with Bleach because a friend let me borrow her book since we need "reading material" for class and I didn't have anything she let me borrow her Bleach vol.1

Me and my sister discovered anime because we were bored one day and spotted our dad playing a Naruto Ps2 game and it looked fun. We played it, and liked it so much we decided to watch the actual anime and that's how it all started. After we finished the entire collection of Naruto dvds that our dad kept, we kept getting hooked and discovering more anime so here we are now...

Total anime addicts. ^_^

I...don't remember actually. I can tell you that I was in 9th grade...and my friend Ande was into anime...and I remember one day looking online for Yuri shows and I can tell you Maria-sama ga Miteru was my first true anime...but I can't tell you why I started watching it or what made me do it. I don't even remember that much. ._. *shrugs* my brain remembers what it wants to. I can tell you the full names of each of my exes after having only been told them once and their birthdays but I can't remember the reason I started watching anime or how I actually discovered it <.<....

I wouldn't call it discovering though more like I finally gave it a chance.

When I was 3 years old I watched 2 anime movies, and I got hooked on Manga at age 7, and at age 6 I saw my first anime. I was pretty young when I started anime :3.

I was like 3-5 when I watched Princess Mononoke with my brothers. I also watched Sailor Moon and Pokemon with them. Then, until right after I joined Fanpop, I didn't like anime. Now I love it!

I discovered anime by waking up to Meitantei Conan's english dub "Case Closed" when it was on at 5 am on Adult Swim even though it scared me first I grew to love it and anime after a week or so.

the first anime i've watched was Midori Days
but then i forgot about it (e.e)

then a friend gave me a dvd with Mew Mew Power (english dub) but at that time i didn't know it was anime

i saw my older cousin watch Naruto, but i hated that cousin so i didn't watch anime

Vampire Knight was on tv and i got hooked X3

and dats the story of me discovering anime

My brothers, their friends and the animals were watching Naruto on their laptop. I asked what it was and they answered that it was cool. I decided to check it out so I went over to the desktop and started watching it. My brothers were like "Why didn't we do that?...." So we all crowded around the desktop and watched Naruto till 6am

hot guys...
nothing else 2 say...

What i was like 7 I would watch inuyasha on cartoon network but I would watch it from here and there and I when I was little I didn't know what it was called and when I was on the internet i saw a picture of inuyasha I new I had to look it up so then I found the first episode and i loved anime ever since!! (:

My best friend was in the library looking at Yu-Gi-Oh (How do you spell it?) books and I saw the manga Fruits Basket on the shelf, it looked interesting so I started reading it. I loved it and starting watching the anime which led me into the fandom. Soon after I discovered Ouran High School Host Club and Hetalia which I love as well.

I think old school Toonami played a rather large part in my discovery of anime. It's been more than 10 years now so my memory is a bit vague.
