Seshi Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) Every April 15th since 1912 The world has celebrated Anime Day! Share the hashtag #AnimeDay on your favorite social media outlet to bring awareness to Anime and keep this wonderful tradition alive. With that being said - post a picture here of your favorite Anime and give us a short story of how you first got into this unique art form. Did someone introduce anime to you? Or did you stumble into this world all on your own... we want to know! Edited April 15, 2019 by Seshi 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) 1912?! Wow, I had no idea Anyway, my first exposure to anime (already told this story multiple times) And my all-time favorite series Edited April 15, 2019 by Ohiotaku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakura Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Wow I didn't know anime goes back that far O.O' Well favorite anime.... hard to say, but the very first anime I watched I think was Digimon or Dragon Ball Z. I think Digimon season 2 is still one of my favorite animes to this day. I also like Peacemaker Kurogane - which we spoke about the other day -, and Boruto. I think Digimon is what actually got me into anime to begin with, between that and Dragon Ball Z that is when I started to find out what anime was and started watching other animes such as Fullmetal Alchemist and Inuyasha or whatever happened to be on TV at that time ^^ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beocat Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I think like many others, I didn't realize I was watching anime at first. I suppose in that case, I just happened upon it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That anime has been around for 100+ years Anyone know of anime from around that time? You usually only hear about anime from the 70's or 80's. But beyond that I don't know. So I got into Anime as an impressionable youth from local TV. As a typical kid coming home from school wanting to watch cartoons. And a channel called AXN was showing them. Maybe 80% of that channel was anime. And it was dubbed. From there on out I was a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illusion of Terra Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) @Ryan Dave Jimenez Yeah I think this one from 1917 is the oldest one that is still available. Doesn't really look too much like modern day anime. I think what we would consider anime nowadays started around in the 50s/60s Edited April 18, 2019 by Illusion of Terra 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seshi Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 That anime was hilarious! So different from how we think of anime character portrayal today they looked like old men. Too funny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Sama Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 When I got into Case Closed it was on a whim. I was in Barnes and Noble looking for a new manga to read and I picked up Case Closed, from then I could not put it back down. I always loved mystery, but this manga gave you the chance to solve the crime on your own. it was always t he same, Who, What, and Why. If you figured that out you would be able to solve the crimes and I did most of the time, but never as much as I wanted. God I Love Anime! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
