mistakes

An impressionable youthful mind.
I wonder when I lost that.

Lolis

Anime, I'd say.

The draws.

dad

A very charismatic and nerdy girl on the internet. I talked to her for 12 hours a day for a few months and she really loved anime and her enjoyment of it infected me.

Lolis.

Toonami

I like cute girls, something sorely lacking in many other mediums.

hentai

The language was appealing to my ears.

Keit-ai. It found a way into my heart.

litol girls

In high school I had a lot of female friends, but in college I had none. I started watching schoolgirl anime to try to relive that experience of having friends

I found some Lucky Star hentai, and thought the girls were really cute, and wanted to watch the show they were from.

The colourfulness and liveliness of cartoons combined with the mature storylines for mature people like me!

To be completely Honest, crippling depression and hatred of the normalfag world

Highschool dxd

This

Well it all started in my sophomore history class. I sat next to this really cute asian girl. We were friendly and talked a lot since we sat together in the back. Eventually walking out after class she invited me to go to anime club with her and watch some. Before that I didn't know practically anything about anime and so I thought why not I might meet some qts. I was dead wrong. She was the only qt. I enjoyed it so I became a member. Eventually "dated" 2 of the good looking girls and then moved schools so that was the end of that. I just graduated last may. What a ride it has been

I grew with it like cartoons, I began to run out of cartoons and the few left were terrible so I went full anime.

SAO

My pops got me into anime he'd regularly bring home VHS's for random movies and series like Devilman, Dragon Ball, DBZ, Black Lion, The Fatal Fury Trilogy, Ninja Scroll and BASTARD Etc. Toonami got me from that point.

Lain.

Kys

Hey what can I say I was a drama/outdoors kind of guy. I soon saw the error in my ways though.

I'm a chink, so I grew up watching stuff like Doraemon and Shin-chan growing up

Pokemon

watched KissxSis and it was all over.

Because comics and cartoons were everywhere when I was a kid and manga and anime were seamlessly integrated into that.

Visual novels.

A friend had a childhood frined over, and he was a complete weeb.
We spent the weekend watching Berserk and Urotsukidouji.
It was all downhill after that.

Robots.

Evangelion.

This beautiful, majestic, angelic creature is what got me into anime.

This was my first waifu.

Cute little girls.

Adult Swim

YuYu Hakusho
Gundam 0083

DBZ
Talked about it in school, friend said uknowtheresmoreoutthereright and burned me a cd with first eps of a couple of series

People on Sup Forums who would constantly post with anime avatars.

Team Fortress 2.

Pokemon. Really, though, what turned me into a weeb was One Piece.

I saw Sailor moon once or twice as a young kid with my cousins.

Later on, in middle school and maybe high school, I watched DBZ, Outlaw Star and some Cowboy Bebop on Adult Swim.

My parents kind of stupidly bought me Jing: King of Bandits for my 15th birthday if I remember, which is really funny considering their stance on me looking at porn or masturbating, I don't think they even leafed through the thing. Or maybe I got it from a weeb friend I had in boy scouts, I can't remember, but I think it was my parents.

At some point a fujoshi attached herself to me and became my girlfriend which further enforced my slide down the slippery slope, I branched out to stuff like Love Hina, Claymore, eventually Ranma 1/2.

I went through a na**tard phase, I would prefer not to remember that this happened. Whenever I think about this point in my life I want to kill myself.

I finally started actually watching anime in a dedicated fashion with Lucky Star and Haruhi, after that it was inevitable that I would end up here.

A friend in college always carried his handheld consoles around with him and made a few passing comments about anime on occasion when he played some games, and it got me interested enough to try watching some shows just to see what the fuss was about. I watched Dragon Ball previously, but I didn't intrigue me enough to go looking for more.

Andrew?

The Caramelldansen.

Lolis.

Nope.

A very good reason to get into anime.

the loss of my health and consecutively becoming a hikki-neeto. i never asked for this

Misty was my first animu fap and made me an ass man.

lol

I feel like it was actually ages ago when Sup Forums was the meme factory of this website. When was it that Sup Forums took over?

mental illness

naruto
>inb4 Naruto is a gateway anime of the worst kind. It's a bad series, a clusterfuck of story and characterization that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessive shipping faggotry and DARKNESS. The normal user can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the series itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad. However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for aspie, unsociable underageb& faggots who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. The superpowered characters all trying their hardest to look cool, the jutsus, peculiar, colorful clothes, the whole ninja faggotry and everything about the Naruto world fuels their escapist fantasies, while the pity-party character backgrounds, emphasis on revenge, and overall preachiness of the series make it fit just right with the mary-sueish drives of your average preteen and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes little kiddies and underageb& retards eat this shit right the fuck up. Naruto is basically THE series to attract the most hated anime fanbase known to Sup Forums, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every user to troll the fuck out of this show and everyone who likes it, and ensure that no Naruto threads ever encourage the newfriends to show their faces here. That being said, AB is really great, but Nyaa.eu and BakaBT are easier to get into.

I saw an episode of Evangelion on adult swim

Being a spic + DBZ/Ranma/Saint Seiya

Unironically jews. I started watching anime because hollywood is shit and forcing politics into everything they make

Talk about calling the kettle black.

Allow me to let you in on a secret.
Everything *is* politics. The only difference is whether you agree with the politics or not.

hentai porn

>implying I watch anime
>implying I'm not here to laugh at you
But seriously, my big brother. It's all his fucking fault for making me watch anime with him when I was still a baby

>blogshit thread
if you're reading this post and you were considering suicide anytime recently, go through with it.

Sakura, as a child, because it's a fucking masterpiece.

Didn't know shit about anime before ten years later, when I see Haruhi. And Haruhi is a fucking masterpiece too.

Kaga-san
Joke's on you, it's Gundam Wing

I watched pokemon on the talmudvision and became a fucking autist.

I don't agree with what you are saying

Toonami

specifically Ruoroni Kenshin

I would have remained a DBZ and pokemon casual if not for it.

Well sure.
A difference I forgot is whether or not you make it ABOUT the politics or leave them well enough alone.
A leftist faggot might complain about an all-white cast like an idiot, while a rightist faggot might complain about an obligatory minority cast member in a different movie like an idiot. Both the leftist and the rightist are annoying and getting in the way of the fun.

spending too much time on the internet, you can't avoid it :^)

Don't use emoticons on Sup Forums.

Cardcaptor Sakura and Pokemon

:(

why?

Not that guy but it's annoying

Because they are ugly.

We have to pretend we are a serious board , if not the rest of Sup Forums is going to realize that we are a bunch of dumbasses

It's not so much the rest of the board. But the rule was introduced to keep the average underage anime fans out. Back then the boogeyman was gaia.

right gotcha

Anime that aired on tv were always my favorite shows as a kid, but I didn't know what anime was back then.
Then when I was 8 or 9 my older half brother showed me the naruto vs sasuke fight which blew my mind at the time.
Then I just watched every episode youtube and after that I just watched everything that looked like anime on youtube, because of that I watched a lot of the weirder ones first instead of the more mainstream stuff.

How about you try lurking a little, retard.

Suprisingly, Sup Forums, but I had always held an affinity for weeby shit and of course grew up watching DBZ/Pokemon

Back in the days of YouTubePoop being the cutting edge of memery (2008-9), I remember seeing one with a clip of "Mikuru Beam" from Haruhi and thinking the girl was cute, so some user off Sup Forums told me what it was from and I watched Haruhi as my first full series.

After Haruhi, I watched NGE because of a recommendation thread on Sup Forums which held it as the ONE series everyone needs to have seen. I'd also always had the show title stuck in my memory from the Toonami days because it was so odd. I remembered seeing the episode with the Angel infecting the Magi computers one night in like 2005 while staying up late watching TV, and seeing redheaded Asuka on the back of an old Pokemon comic when I was like 9.

Watched TTGL after NGE, and then Eden of the East as it aired.

From 2009-2012 I watched anime pretty hardcore. Last full series I've seen was Steins;Gate

I still periodically return to Sup Forums to check out "wtf did I just watch" threads about EoE

The Full Metals. Alchemist and Panic.

Case closed.

God I fucking loved that show.

watching cartoons on youtube back in ~2008, then a bunch of weebs on a tf2 server told me to watch lucky star

Where is that girl, user?

The best anime, Sword Art Online

ded

No one knows where she is, of course.

Friend tried to torrent Rammstein music videos and ended up with Eva & Hellsing AMV's.

>after over 15 years this is still the best AMV you've ever seen
