Otaking66lives Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 In high school, I had a Marine Biology teacher that formally introduced me to anime. Only after watching a few titles with him did I realize I had been a fan of anime my entire life, just didn't know it was Japanese in origin. Who knew? Not kids in the 80s, that's for sure. LOL The first anime I watched and knew it was anime was Battle Angel Alita, the first anime I ever watched was Voltron(Beast King Golion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohayotaku Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Anime: watching Star Blazers on tv during the late 70s & early 80s  even though I wasn’t familiar with the term at the time. Started watching shows like Ranma 1/2, Slayers, Tenchi Muyo, etc on VHS tapes in the mid 90s before moving back onto DVDs. Have been using streaming services to watch anime for about 10 years now. Manga: have never been as into manga as much as anime, but Battle Angel Alita was the first title to really get my attention with it’s art & story (first saw it in a bookstore in the mid 90s)  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calca_Chan Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 When I was a kid I watched Naruto for the first time. It absolutely changed my entire life. I started watching other action/shonen shows and felt such hype I couldnt look away. I think my desire to watch anime was only strengthened because my dad banned me from watching any and all anime (he saw me watchiung Swoird Art Online at eight and he immediatly thought all anime was just like it) so I became anime thristy and started binging the only anime I was allowed to watch (Cardcaptor Sakura). Just goes to show the more you keep something away from a kid the more they want it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
