And while we're at it, gimme a ballpark on the year. What got you into anime? I'm expecting to see a lot of Toonami-type answers, but let's see what everyone has to say.

My first time was watching Slayers yellow subs on VHS in the mid-90's, I think. Shortly after was Ranma 1/2. I was around 10, I think.

I believe somewhere around age 4 or 5. The first animes I watched were Dragon ball and Sailor moon.

Inuyasha was the first I really started to watch around like 6 or 7, then I got into a lot of other shows(thanks to Toonami).

Dragonball, Yu-gi-oh! and Rurouni Kenshin. I was between 5-7. Even today if I find any of these being aired on tv, I just go online and find out if I can watch it everyday.

I voted the 16-20 option, since this is where I started watching anything besides Dragonball & Naruto.

My first time was at age 5 (Dragonball).

Probably around 6 years old. Voltron, I think it was. I didn't actually become aware of anime as a concept until much later, though.

I was 5 or 6, Pokemon, and stuff from Toonami. The age when I started getting into anime even more was 13. Watching Bleach and Naruto, eventually going into Hentai, and watching more romance stuff lol
