Hello~

What anime series back then brought you to watch more and more anime, basically the one who triggered you to be an anime fan? Are you glad you have watched that anime? :)

I'm glad you have watched that anime, whatever that is, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see you here...

Gurren Lagann was the first anime from my teenage years that did blow my mind away.

Either hataraku maou-sama or Ben-To though I am inclined to go with Ben-To because of how absurd it was.

It would be Death Note for me.
One of my friends reintroduced it to me with that show and I thought it was mind boggling.
After I finished up on that, I started exploring anime a bit more based on the synopsis.
No regrets! Absolutely love it. Those shows from the beginning hold a special place in my heart. How sappy is that?

It’s Attack on titan. AOT unexpectedly caught me off guard like how amazing this medium can be. Well, I’m not that glad not sad that it made me watch so many anime but i have no regrets.

it was tokyo ghoul back in 2020. i had watched my first anime in 2019, death note, watched a few episodes and stopped. then later in 2020 i picked it up again and this time watched till the end. so now i had some idea what anime is and if it's my cup of tea. later the same friend that got me into anime told me to watch tokyo ghoul next and tokyo ghoul was something that i really ended up enjoying which made me seek out more animes. i then asked some more suggestions from my friends and was suggested to watch assassination classroom, i really ended up loving that too and from then on it continued and here i am.

its all thanks to my friend who told me to try watching death note. if not for him everything would be different.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

i dont know if it was either aot or death note for me.

my crush at the time was an aot fan, so i went to watch the first episode. later on, i discovered death note, watched it, then ended up becoming an anime fan.

Besides the random og Dragon Ball, Z and One Piece TV episodes I saw as a gnome in the ancient times, I vividly remember my first anime experience being laying on my bed on YT watching cropped Amagi Brilliant Park episodes lol. Guess that was it.

After though was Sora yori mo Tooi Basho.

I'd grown up watching mostly Disney movies. It was my first time seeing animation so violent and unhinged. I was shook.

What anime brought you to watch more anime? :)

Tokyo Ghoul 2014
I am a COMPLETIONIST. Aiming to finish AS MANY ANIME as possible before DEATH, Despite them being SATISFACTORY or if they are BORING.

I WATCH THE LOWEST SCORED/RATED/RANKED ANIMES ON MAL (OR you can CALL THEM The WORST animes in the WORLD - No Joke Like Seriously)

No anime has actually satisfied my anime taste, That I can call a MasterPiece (10/10), still searching... hopefully one day I will find that show and obsess over it till I die.
RULE NO.4 I MUST WATCH ALL CONTENT FOR THE SERIES I HAVE FINISHED, NOW THIS ONE IS QUITE EXHILARATING.

It was definitely Gurren Lagann that got me to watch more than just Digimon and Sailor Moon. But I grew up on Cardcaptor Sakura before knowing that anime was a thing.

Although it wasn't my first, I'll still say Death Note. It made me realise that there's more to Anime than just humour and fight scenes.

I'm level on MAL-Badges. View my badges.

Got hooked on Pokemon, Digimon, Sailor Moon and the likes... whatever was on TV after school in the early 00's. As I got older I watched less, cause I thought anime is just for kids. But years down the line I gave Elfen Lied a try and boy, was I wrong... been watching ever since.

I remember my first anime was 91 Days (besides the OGs in the childhood) but it took me some more anime to get into it. I remember watching Akame ga Kill, Fate, and Death Note after that. But then I watched Re:Zero and that one dragged me into the hole.

No Game No Life started my anime journey back in 2018, followed by Attack on Titan, The Seven Deadly Sins, and Food Wars!
After that, I found out MAL and just picked popular shows to watch, Sword Art Online, Clannad, Your Lie in April etc. are some of the examples that started my anime journey.

Rurouni Kenshin, Cowboy Bebop, and Outlaw Star. I had previously seen Dragon Ball Z and Pokemon but those shows didn't kick start watching other anime.

The anime that really made me appreciate high quality animation and style was Blood: The Last Vampire. It was the first anime I watched with subs and original Japanese version. Before that it was all DBZ and Sailor Moon (censored for my own good).

I made all my friends and family watch it... On my little computer monitor.

Assassination Classroom. My friend watched a couple anime with me before that one but this show was one that I could empathize with a lot, and enjoy it from start to finish and got me to check out more anime on my own in the process. It is still one of my favorite anime of all time so being glad to have seen it is an understatement of the ages.

It was a mix of Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell SAC, and Inuyasha. I got cable tv for the first time when I moved to college and I remember catching reruns of those shows late at night.

I'd probably say Kakegurui, from seeing pictures of it on unrelated sites (e.g. pfps). I had seen anime before, but not consistently or where I'd consider myself a fan. But I thought Yumeko looked cool and decided to check out the manga and anime, and it grew into my interest in anime + Japanese pop culture.

This is going to be the most basic of answers, but it was Demon Slayer, my second anime that brought me back! After watching it I wanted to watch other animes, which brought me to TPN which I was OBSESSED with, and that really catapulted me where I am now :)

Gurren Lagann was the hitter for me back in my early days.

I then later around 2018 stopped watching anime until 2021 when I watched Love Is War and got my love for anime back.
