I started with manga by reading ranma 1/2 and fell in love with ryouga. Then I saw the anime for ranma 1/2 and that caused me from that point on to far prefer manga over anime because I felt like the anime was atrocious. (sorry for those who liked it)
First Anime i Watched was The Dragonball Series...So somehow i got sucked on to it,and not until new anime were Releasing every month/week,it was not later until 2007 i learned to Appreciate Manga like Doujinshi
