How i got myself into 'anime'

I used to be one of those guys which used to post 'Anime is shit' and 'Anime is for furry faggots' type of comments.
But after some time I though... 'Is anime really that bad? I never tried it, so I'm not 100% allowed to hate it.'

Summer, 2016.
After browsing endless Steam Community posts about how anime is shit, I decided to try and see if it's really that bad like other's say. Also my PC broke in Summer so I was left with my tablet which stopped working after some time.

I created a post in Off-topic. A post which would suggest me anime because I want to 'give it a shot'. My Steam Profile was something like this but it had Kashima there instead of Hifumi.
Obviously, some posts were useless shitposts like 'Cory in the house', 'boku no pico' etc. other recommended me Ecchi and finally some normal people which gave me real recommendation.

One of these recommendations were: Cowboy bepop, Nichijou, K-on! etc. etc.
If you haven't guessed by now, I went with Nichijou since he said it's a great anime for 'beginners' to anime.
Alright, i researched if he didn't recommend me hentai. Nope.
'Where do I watch it?' - me trying to find where to watch it. That's where I spammed my friend on Steam. He recommended me a streaming site.
Cool beans, let's get right into it. First episode, second, third and... last episode! I never laughed so hard in my life and kudos to him for recommending me this masterpiece.
Nichijou was my first anime and I don't regret watching it. It stayed in my memory and I still remember it's ending.

Then I went with Angel Beats! Well... 'Comedy' tag doesn't apply here. It's depressing as hell but It's my second favorite anime. Why? It played strong role on my feels. I never cried while watching your typical 'The Walking Dead' or random romance/drama films. Yes, I cried waterfall at the end and I'm not scared to admit it.

Third one: Ecchi about a zombie boy which can change into magical fairy [Which made me cringe] (Kore wa zombie desu ka?)
Fourth one was K-on! Another anime I abolutely love!

And... that's basically how I got into anime. I used to hate it but now I absolutely love to watch it when I'm sad.
Question to you: What was your first anime you watched? Mine personally was Pokemon but I don't count it.

Even though Anime's like Pokemon, Digimon and Yu-Gi-Oh were a big part of my childhood, bigger than any Western cartoon, I did watch a lot more Western Animation than Japanese.

Like Batman the Animated Series, Animaniacs, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, X-Men, Loony Tunes, Tom and Jerry, and so on.

Lol, from Animaniacs, Please get a Life foundation. More relevant today than ever.

I don't watch that much anime. I really only watch JoJo and read the Owari no Seraph manga. School's getting out quick; I might find some more anime/manga worth watching/reading.
 
My first Anime is Doraemon and Sailor Moon and it was very long ago, about 20 years ago.

Now I can't bring myself to watch them again, maybe I already grow up past that. Now I like to watch dark and edgy show instead, not really into those "fantasy harem" anime that plague every season anymore. Gainax/Trigger studio is my favorite anime producer, right next to Ghlibi. I just love their art, simple yet very beautiful and the story is good too, not complicate but very good.
 
Cowboy Bebop is the first Anime I really payed attention to, and I LOVED anime after that. Then I got into Lain, I!My!Me! Strawberry Eggs, Love Hina, Handmaid May, and Chobits.
 
I wonder if you saw Cowboy Bebop , personally im not an anime fan , but i saw it on summer 2016 and i loved it :wub:. I recommend it!
 
I watched Maya Bee on TVP1,had original Duck Tales(made by Disney and TMS Entertainment)on VHS cassette I think. I watched Sonic the Hedgehog/Sonic X on Jetix. My mom's friend's son showed me Dragon Ball Z(Toei Animation) within french dubbing. I remember watching original Pokemon on Polsat.
