Ristic Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 What is the first anime that brought you into anime culture ? For me it is Hajime no Ippo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otaking66lives Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Honestly I had already viewed some anime before getting "hooked", but the one that got me addicted was Vampire Hunter D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohnoitsanotaku Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Attack on Titan brought me in, Hunter X Hunter made me stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) Not entirely sure how to interpret the question. Star Blazers was the one that really opened my eyes to the potential for a “cartoon” to tell a coherent story about grown-up subject matters with actual character development. And it would eventually be the series that first made me aware that anime is actually produced in another country with different cultural & historical perspectives (the whole Argo/Yamato thing). Though that realization would come many years later. 2 hours ago, Ristic said: anime culture ? As far as an introduction to the quirky weirdness that characterizes otaku “culture”, probably Project A-ko as it was full of satire & parody. And it was one of the first uncut/unedited anime I watched. Edited January 11, 2022 by Ohayotaku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otaking66lives Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 OK...as far as an introduction to anime culture and lifestyles, that would be a tie between Kimagure Orange Road and Maison Ikkoku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediaConsumesMe Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Okay I'd watched anime before this one, but the Anime that got me into Anime Culture and generally seeing myself as a consumer of Japanese Cartoons would have to be Fate Zero; I mean after the show I for the first time unironically called a 2D girl my waifu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarathonGuy1337 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Space Battleship Yamato 2199 brought me into anime, but I didn't really watch anything outside or Mecha or Space Opera. That was the case until I watched Toradora! That one kind of opened the floodgates all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnviousEnvy Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I started watching anime before I knew it was anime,lol. Zoids, Pokémon, Digimon, Beyblade, DBZ, etc are just some to name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clavius Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I wasn't a big anime fan until Monster and Blood+. Fullmetal Alchemist caught my attention not long after and the rest followed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombo Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Like many others my gateway anime was Naruto. I personally don't enjoy it as much as I did back then but it is definitely a good gateway. Dattebayo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animedragon Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I saw a couple of episodes of 3X3 Eyes on TV back in 1996, then about a week later found the whole series on VHS in the local record shop. I followed 3x3 Eyes with Gal Force New Era, and that was it..... I've been buying and watching anime ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiyaSaysHaiya Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) Sword Art Online. I watched the first season (completely oblivious of the existence of the next few seasons) and I just fell in love. I had a watched a few anime before it, but not many and SAO just instantly hooked me in. I loved the concept and just everything. In fact, I probably got too obsessed. I also got obsessed with Pokémon: Indigo League at the time, so these two anime were the only things I would talk about. It was always Kirito this, Team Rocket that, and I think my friends just got SO sick of it. I have no idea how I didn't pick up on that at the time. But yeah, SAO basically consumed my life and tbh I'm grateful. If I hadn't gotten into SAO, I mightn't have gotten into anima at all!

Gonstroph Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 The two shows I blame for getting me into anime are Evangelion and Fruitsbasket. With those two shows and most shows I watch, I would go on YouTube and find reviews for them to see what others think, and got into anime culture that way. Fruitsbasket especially though, the ending left an amazing impression on me and made me want to find more good shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animebae2401 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 TBH, Demon Slayer even though I didn't like it the first few episodes due to the internal monologue. Yet, that's exactly why I've grown to love it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
