I started with Dragonball. My brothers and I would watch it whenever it came on. Can't remember how long ago that was or anything. Then I started watching Dragonball Z, Pokemon, Digimon and that stuff a few years later. When I got a computer and broadband internet, I downloaded a bunch more of stuff. That's about it.

Gundam Wing Endless Duel, the snes game, I was looking for info and stuff and discovered there was an animated series with the same name. I started looking for gundam clips/eps and stumbled across the first episode of Gundam X in all its .rm glory. After that I looked more and somehow learned of #Anime-Gundam (probably channel search function) on DALnet (I think they were on dalnet at the time.. like every other major channel). I was recommended by someone to contact one of the ops named TraceCobur, he gave me ftp access. At this time I was still on 56k.. early 2001 something and in april 2001 I got my adsl :}. I downloaded the first five eps of Gundam Wing, all of Gundam X and The 08th MS Team from him and also got into GaoGaiGar. Some time after that A-G started subbing G Gundam :]. (So it all started with Gundam, and I still love Gundam ).

Pokemon, to be honest. It took a lot of getting used to the style of anime, when I remember. After that I started watching anime on the Sci-Fi Channel. The first I ever saw was Ghost in the Shell, and that pretty much sold me.

When I started watching Gundam Wing on Cartoon Network, I really started buying into anime a lot. The technology and background story in specific anime such as Evangelion, Gundam Wing, Bubblegum Crisis and Ghost in the Shell was a big attraction

One day.. I was flipping through the channels of my "Dish Network" and saw that some anime show "Gundam Wing" was on. At first, I thought it was just... dumb. But like a week later, my sister and I were all into to it and stuff.

We were like, "Hey! I missed an episode!!!! ::cries::" lol

I haven't really gotten into Manga yet.. I don't really have enough money to get into it and start buying it at stores. A lot of my friends (mostly boys) bring their little manga books to school and stuff... it's kinda funny XDD

Well, my first anime was Gundam Wing

When I was little in like '93 and '94 my older brother was an anime nut and watched anime all the time when it used to be on the Sci-fi Channels late it night. I really don't remember a lot of it but it helped me grow interest in anime.

YESH!!!
Ghost in the Shell was kickass!
*high five*
You know what was odd though? Early anime (1960s) was based on Disney movies? Japan got some ideas for cartoons and ended up a multi-billion dollar success.

When my friends started getting into DBZ in middle-school, I had a blast!
Except for the times they would whistle Cell's theme all freaking day! Urgh!
I raised myself to be an anime freak and now I am collecting a lot of dvds:
Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz(jap.), DBZ series, Cowboy Bebop series w/ movie,
Metropolis, Ghost in the Shell, Evangelion, Akira, Spirited Away, and Princess Mononoke.

Yes, I am insane...

It all started with Dragon Ball.
When I was like 6 years old I used to wake up at like 5AM to watch it. It was in spanish which was great because at the time I was just learning english and most of the spanish shows sucked.

For about a month I only caught the last half of the show so for a while I didnt even know what it was called. I called it the show with the monkey boy.

Then for some reason I stopped watching it and forgot all about it. Until I was introduced to Dragon Ball Z, at that time I remembered that I used to watch the original as a kid, and from there on the DBZ infatuation began.

Ive seen everything that is DBZ related and played all the games, so Im not too much into DBZ anymore. But it was always be awesome for me.

Hmm, I'd have to say Pokemon. Then one day, i saw DBZ on cartoon network...
A year passed, and I got the internet. Many anime's were now available to me.
So it began.
