How Did You Find Anime?

[rabbitbutt]

What do you mean? Like on the internet or when I actually knew that it existed? exclaim question  

[xpinksoda]

i grew up LOVING digimon, sailor moon and cardcaptor sakura. Im sooo happy I found it. heart  

[Pikachipi]

I found anime because of boredom and surfing through channels. whee
I found out about manga after my friends got into anime and we all got manga together. biggrin

My older brother introduced me to both manga and anime.  

[Dark Kitsune-sama]

i started watching anime when my ex-bf introduced me to watch naruto. subsequently, i got addicted and i started to watch more and more. biggrin

My elder brother pretty much got hooked on Anime before I was even born... so the moment I fell out of my mom... it was anime this-anime that-anime here-anime there... you get the point.

My brother would snatch the remote and hide it so he could watch Anime without anyone interferring(which is why I never learned to love shows like teletubbies, sesame street or any of those kiddie shows that suck like ****, he'd steal from my piggy bank-and my other brother's piggy bank just to buy those small gundam plastic toys and anime posters...

He always forced Anime at home--until my mom would get home... so I guess it's because I lived in an Anime-bountiful childhood... that sounds weird.... xd  

[kaisister]

i know about anime since i was born biggrin  

[Sleepy Nia]

umm i just randomly started watching it on tv then five years later i found out it was anime.
then my friend just gave me a manga and said here read this.

I found manga first, followed closely by anime, thanks to one of my friends. We were in class and she was gushing about this new Prince of Tennis volume she had gotten, and she noticed I wasn't having much of a reaction. So, the following dialogue proceeded: "WHAT??!!! You've never read any manga or watched ANY anime? You have got to try it out." Without waiting for my answer, she pushed the first volume into my hands and left, saying she'd pick it up next week. I LOVED it, became addicted, and started watching anime too xd .

it was new years eve and i was flipping through the channels and then i just happen to land on naruto and there was a whole marathon of it
it turned out that my friend drew anime since she was in first grade and she told me about too

at first i though manga and anime were the same
later i found out it was two different things XD domokun

I knew about it for a long time, but started reading it finally a couple years ago when I was at Hastings and bored to death, that's how I found manga.... but with anime, I watched Pokemon when I was in first grade, then forgot about anime, then I picked it up again when I watched Spirited Away for a first time. (Miyazaki rocks the socks off all!! Though Princess Mononoke is better than Spirited Away...)  

[ladyyk]

I heard some Japanese songs and decided to watch what it was all about. I realized it was from an anime.

And there! Anime became a huge part of my life. whee  

[Sparoe]

Through my Friend Kara, who at the time I had just met smile

She was talking about FMA and then one day I was flipping through the channels with my friend Leanne and it was on smile

Manga, not sure neutral  

[xXyamoli21Xx]

Anime: When I was little there were different shows of anime in wich i thought they were just simple cartoons. Like Sailor Moon and Drangonball Z.

Manga: One of my neighbors showed me how to read them and I got hooked up. biggrin
