Hard to say since I remember watching Dragonball in Mexico when i was little, but didn't know it was "anime".
When did I discover anime though was in 7th grade... about 10 years ago. I remember loving Escaflowne and then being exposed the most violent show I had ever seen, Blue Gender. Then I watched Fist of the North Star and made Blue Gender look like Hello Kitty. |

Probably since the early eighties, back when I was watching cartoons I had no idea were anime such as Voltron, Ulysses 31 and the like.
It wasn't until about my age hit double figures and the likes of Channel 4 (I'm in Britain) and then eventually Bravo began showing late night "serious cartoons" they erroneously called Manga that I became a knowing fan of Japanese animation. It was years later, in the mid-ninties before I heard Maison Ikkoku being referred to as "Anime" on a feature on the Sci-Fi channel right before they showed an episode of the Guyver, and I realised the distinction between manga and anime. |

Well, heres any interesting one.I grew up in Kuwait back in the 80s and we had like one english channel back then and i used to watch a few arabic cartoons..Which now i have figured out were animes that were arabic dubbed.(i dont speak arabic), so i watched i believe it was called Heidi but all in arabic lol. So i assumed that wow..arab people are great artist not knowing there was something called anime. Wonder if i could find heidi again mmmmm
But yea first anime was I believe a long version of heidi n other stuff like tintin etc i belive but i just found out that now 20 yrs later.Now here I am in canada, and if u check my website, you can see I've really gotten into alot of anime titles and still watching many.its a full time job!! i got into watching anime in 2003 i believe so yea..almost 5 yrs not bad tho for my amassed titles

Read back through the thread and saw that quite a few people watched anime during the 80s, but never really knew them as anime. Ditto for me. I would watch Voltes V, Daimos and Candy Candy on TV back then (I may have been about 4 or 5 years old). My first anime movie, now that I can recall it, was Nausicaa.
I became aware of them as anime probably back in 1993 or 1994, when I started watching Dragonball and Yu Yu Hakusho. Since then I started to collect manga and anime tapes (tapes! Can you believe that?), or borrow from a friend whose brother was a serious collector. |

Well, I grew up watching all the anime that was on back in the 80's, like most of you. And like you guys and gals, I didn't really realize what it was at the time.
I actually started to collect anime and manga back in the early 90's (around 1993). My, how the shows have grown..... |

I stared a little over two years ago with Neon Genesis Evangelion and the only thing i can watch is anime. Watching TV or cable is like watching flys in a bug zaper

Technically, I started in the '80s with Voltron and of course, Robotech. However, I don't think that really counts because at the time I had no idea what anime was. I was just a kid watching cartoons. My anime awakening happened on my 17th birthday (1997). A friend brought over his copies of Akira and Fist of the North Star. The rest is history.

I guess the first anime I ever liked was Pokemon, but that was so long ago that I didn't even know what anime was. In 7th grade (2005-2006), that's when I really started to like shows such as Naruto, One Piece, and other shows that aired on Toonami/Adult Swim. From lateish 2006 to present, I've been into other shows, most of which are Shonen, such as Death Note, MAR, Rurouni Kenshin, Full Metal Panic! (although FMP isn't a Shonen series), and lots more.

I started watching anime seriously around 2001 when buying each dvd costed $60 - 70 CAD each (that's how much I paid for Rurouni Kenshin and Trigun)! After watching many different series, it just feels like I've been watching anime for 20 years and not just 7 years. Even though I started in 2001, I ended up liking a lot of the anime produced in the early to late 90's and watched a number of early and mid 80's anime as well.

I think since 1998. Is that when Pokemon started in the USA? So I think that makes 10+ years. Well whenever it was, that was the day I like anime. I still watch Pokemon to this day, just for the hell of it. I just love the Pokemon Game. But I am not a person that is into CosPlay, Fandom, or Otaku status, hell I hate (hate is a strong word, how about strongly dislike) these kind of people. I am a person who enjoys anime as means of entertainment. I don't buy the toys or other merchandised stuff they have floating around. I just watch is regularly like a person in the technological age (Thanks Internet).
