How did YOU get into Manga/Anime?

[iR Frozen]

I asked my friend what his favorite anime was randomly one day at lunch, and he said it was Death Note or Fullmetal Alchemist. I went home and watched it, and continue to watch anime till this day.

As for manga? Well, I didn't really get introduced to it, I kinda found it.

One day, I remembered watching Tokyo Mew Mew on Saturday Mornings as a little kid. So I went and researched it and it lead to finding out about more anime and then I started to like it. Weird story, eh?

I found out when my friend let me borrow her Fruits Basket manga, and I liked it enough to help her get the books she didn't have. I started looking at other manga in the manga section in the book store and became very interested in it. For anime, I started watching tv late at night and full metal alchemist happened to be on, so I started watching the whole series, and started watching other animes as well.

Anime: I uses to watch many different animes when I was young, that didnt change much until now.
Manga: A friend of mine once bought a manga/anime magazine and there was an article on Fullmetal Alchemist. I found it interesting and thats how I bought my first manga. 3nodding

The first anime I ever saw... was Cased Closed.
It got me interested in Anime.
Then I saw DBZ and that kinda killed it.
Then a few years later, I rediscovered my faith in Anime after watching Full Metal Alchemist.

When I was little, I just woke up early one morning and saw pokemon, and fell in love with it. I then continued to watch digimon, yugioh, megaman, all that kind of stuff. And, as I got older, my interests started to grow out to different types of anime.

As for manga, well, actually I started reading manga before I knew what 'manga' actually was... As a little five year old I found pokemon manga in the library, but since I didn't know what it was, I read it backwards (left to right instead of right to left)... and I would always wonder, "Why does it seem like the events are happening backwards?" sweatdrop
But, the first manga that I had, that I actually knew was manga, was CardCaptor Sakura - I got it for one of my birthdays, read it, and that book started my entire manga collection ^-^
