The manga of Naruto really drew me into this sorta thing...But I hate the anime of it, "Believe it!" >_<

Also, the anime Chobits really got me into anime...Lol

Hey4Horses 01-04-2008 04:59 AM

I work in a library and had been reading romance/fantasy novels, but decided to look at the manga that was being checked out so much. Someone recommended Fruits Basket (with the romance and fantasy)--this manga rocks.....I've been hooked ever since! LOL! Probably alot sooner than that if Dragon ball Z hadn't turned me off! The fight scenes in that anime were really slow! :pandasleep: :D

Fijah 01-04-2008 07:41 AM

I think I have to say Fruits basket... in like, 8th grade or something. 5-6 years ago.

Kloudcat 01-04-2008 07:44 AM

i got into anime from watching dragon ball z, and i got into manga from reading shonen jump.

samurai007 01-04-2008 08:00 AM

Ranma 1/2 manga and anime from Viz...

emiluvsjmusic 01-04-2008 10:29 AM

anime: probably doraemon
manga: inuyasha...?

DragonShade 01-04-2008 10:30 AM

For anime : Monster
For Manga: still Monster

NightChilde25 01-04-2008 03:04 PM

Ronin Warriors, although I had no idea it was anime at the time. I loved the art and went in search of similarly drawn "cartoons." I discovered that it was anime and I've been in love ever since.

As for manga, I think it was Fake and Fullmetal Alchemist.

ryochonan1 01-04-2008 03:10 PM

For me, it was really DBZ. I had seen anime before but did not know that it was anime. DBZ was when I realized what anime was

animelover32 01-04-2008 07:55 PM

I guess Naruto since my friend was over at my house and we were looking for something to watch and we got to Cartoon Network and Naruto was on and I asked her if it was any good and she said 'Yeah'. And ever since then I've been watching anime. But if you want to know my first anime I would have to say Salior Moon but when I saw it I never knew it was an anime because I was like 5 or 6 and I thought of it as a cartoon like every other show I watched.

Animekitty 01-05-2008 02:34 AM

Inuyasha and bleach for me and the dubbed version no less ( i hang my head in shame). I think Chobits was the lock that made me start really hunting around for interesting animes. I have a few mangas around but I prefer anime. :rheart:

Anime : DragonBall Z I hadn't realized it was a Japanese anime until I started my manga collection.

Manga : Inuyasha

Oops : My very first Anime was Astro Boy.....^_^

MrCent 01-24-2008 06:43 PM

Naruto was the first anime I've seen(except for Pokemon and Digimon).

InuSan 01-24-2008 06:48 PM

Hmmm i think Tonari no totoro is what got me into anime but manga i think it would have to be a magazine i read Shojo beat, then of course my japanese course in High school helped a lot too :)

sporknessmonster 01-24-2008 07:14 PM

fullmetal Alchemist was my first... :rheart:

MaymeRachael 01-25-2008 01:47 AM

I think G Gundam was my first...then Rounin Kenshin then Trigun

JRockaddict 01-25-2008 01:49 AM

manga: Cardcaptor Sakura
anime: Sailor Moon and DBZ

Kyousuke 01-25-2008 02:04 AM

JRockaddict 01-25-2008 02:16 AM

Outlaw Star also peaked mai interest in anime......

MaymeRachael 01-25-2008 02:18 AM

flein1337 01-25-2008 11:19 PM

a year ago the only animes i knew about was: pokemon and digimon, but around this time 1 year ago a friend of mine showed me a few eps of naruto, then i got hooked... then i got borre from waiting for new eps so i started reading the naruto manga and started going on a "scout'n watch spree" basicaly scouting for animes that looks cool or has been recomended, and watch it through even tho i think it is crappy after a few eps :o

onizuka22 01-26-2008 12:47 AM

SuGrocks 01-26-2008 04:14 AM

For me it was Inuyasha. i used to not really like anime, and i didn't even know what manga was < yes i know lame...
but i remember my friend (which is now anti-anime< dont know why) used to mention it and i was like whatever...Then one day i was flipping through the channels and i came across it and i started to watch it and within the first few minutes i was in love with it! Same goes for Bleach, i love it now!

auran 01-26-2008 05:09 AM

I have to say gto

MaymeRachael 01-26-2008 10:20 PM

Digimon was another early show...^_^'

Cyasarin 01-26-2008 10:35 PM

I got into anime because of the movie Kiki's Delivery Service. But Pokemon and Sailor Moon helped. <3
I'm not into manga that much...don't know why. =/
