This might have poped up before, and if so I apologize but I thought it'd be interesting to know!

For me it was eyeing through a Dragonball volume 1 pocket. At the age of, around, 14 years old. I'm today 26 and still reading manga as if I was new to it. Got hooked on anime when I heard about Naruto and accidently saw some footage from an episode.

It's Mr to you!

My sister around 15 years ago. I had watched stuff like Totoro before, but I never knew it was any different from any other animated movie. The first series we watched was probably Inuyasha.

for me the first anime was Pokémon, instead of our local cartoon network some other country's cartoon network started running for several months and i saw a show called pokemon i really loved it than i saw other shows like dragon ball, one piece, i noticed they all had some similar art style, thats how i discovered anime, but i dont really watch anime but after a neighbor told me about deathnote, and an other guy told me that all animes are also present in wtitten form they are called manga, i was quite lazy for anime ao i just wrote deathnote manga on google and ton of results came, so i can say my neighbor got me into it, i still read mangas but don't really watch anime
