No I do not mean Tetsuwan Atom (Astro Boy), I mean what anime was it that made you like anime enough to start watching anything you can find.
For me it was Death Note. It was just so well-made that it made me wonder if every anime was like that and well, I watched other anime like Ghost Hunt and Bleach and then more stuff and blah blah its all downhill from there. So, what about you?

I remember Dragonball Z when I was really young, a bit of Sailor Moon (although I never really got into that one) but the one that changed it all for me was a show called Heat Guy J.
It used to be on a sci-fi channel but then they took it off air and I have yet to find it again. Thankfully it's coming out on DVD soon =]

The first time ? Hmm, the one that I remember was Doraemon, very old anime. And now, I like watch most of anime. The one I like now are Naruto, Air Gear, Digimon, Gundam as the best anime for me, Full Metal Alchemist (completed), Gurren Lagann (completed), Kiba (completed), Samurai 7 (completed), Basillisk (completed), Hikaru no Go (because of this anime, so I love playing Go). And there are more animes which can't I tell you all of them.

Well...I remember watching Sailor Moon and Dragonball Z on TV back in the days but those shows didn't really drive me to go out and hunt for other anime to watch. I just thought that the shows were really cool and I couldn't wait for it to air on TV. It wasn't until I saw Ranma 1/2 for the first time that I was hooked. After that I saw other series like Rurouni Kenshin, movies like Princess Mononoke and Ninja Scroll and I was just captivated by the diversity in anime. You usually don't see things like that in Disney animations.

The first anime I watched that piqued my interest was Bleach. I loved it, but I wasn't yet hooked on anime. Then, like many of you, I watched Deathnote and was HOOKED.
I have watched several anime since then but have yet to find something as psychologically thrilling as Deathnote.

Hi X,
I think the anime that really got me interested in the genre was Full Metal Alchemist. I had watched animes in the past (Dragonball Z being the main one) but I never knew what anime was at the time and so I can't claim that they started my interest. FMA though did because I discovered it through an anime site, and through that and other member recommendations I explored more animes and became completely hooked. FMA also showed me just how an anime should be done because it actually ended! DBZ never managed that and I grew bored of it, but with FMA I just couldn't stop watching so it gave me hope for the future lol!
All the best,
Dranz
