>>11260366
I cant bealive how casual you nerds are

the pokemons

Probably Yumeria. First series I saw with a loli heroine and that's when I really got into it. Before that I was into high fantasy mostly.

EPIC TFW MEME
OMG IM ROTFLCOPTORING ON THR FLOOR LOL

DBZ is too normal, I cant think of a single kid in elementary or middle school who didn't love DBZ.

/jp/ was my gateway drug

Hao Miyuzaki movies, probably. I've been watching them since at least 2003, before I even know what anime was. Most of them weren't translated back then, but the few that were were enjoyable for me.

I think a couple years later, someone had a shounen jump in class, and I remember reading Hikaru no Go and some other things that I can't remember. I read Naruto for a while in like 2008, and then after that, I kind of fell out. It left a sour taste in my mouth. I only got back into things when I graduated high school.

>>11260383
Most people I tried to talk about it with in elementary school said it was dumb or too weird. And everyone in middle school was too edgy and mature to admit to liking anything animated.

>>11260388
Are you seriously implying that hadn't graduated high school by 2008?

>>11260404
were did you go to school?

>>11260407
Texas.

>>11260383
I'm in the US, so I was in high school when it aired. It's pretty odd to be into cartoons in high school.

I watched anime on Saturday morning or afternoon television when I was young. When I was a high school senior I read through all of Bleach and Naruto online.

After that I irregularly picked up a new manga series and watched the whole thing through. I started watching anime and visiting /a/ a few years later. Then I got into Touhou Project.

>>11260413
Too many mexicans maybe? There was 2 mexicans and 1 asian kid in my middle school in Nebraska, rest was white.

>>11260424
>naruto

Worst fanbase of anything aside from MLP

>>11260360
For me it was trigun

>>11260434
I don't think I've ever taken part in or even seen an actual Naruto discussion anywhere, so I was spared that side of things.

What's your story?

Total war shogun 2

>>11260437
DBZ and bleach as a kid then I stayed normal for years until one day I went to /a/ and /jp/ for whatever reason, and found new interest in anime/manga. Started with NHK and Stiens gate, then things got weird when I started playing VN's like G-sengou / YMK / SNK. I think playing through MGQ was hitting rock bottom.

I hope I don't get shit for this.

Anyone that wasn't introduced to otaku culture by something produced before 1994 needs to leave.

>>11260413
>>11260429
A BUNCH of kids in my elementary/middle school in Texas were weeaboos. They're everywhere in the Dallas area.

>>11260360
>>11260366
What's the /jp/ equivalent for blood atonement? Gainful employment?

>>11260467
Tell us your story.

Fruits Basket. If it wasn't for that I would be clubbing or something right now.

Before then I was into Pokemon but I didn't even know it was Japanese at that time.

my uncle was a semi-pro racing driver and I watched some of the first season of Initial D with him.

>>11260476
What's up girl?

I miss the days where we would immediately say "ks dev leave this place" when KS was posted.

EoSD

>>11260481
Look on the bright side, it means absolutely nobody gives a shit anymore.

>>11260467
I'm actually surprised you would actually say something. The requirement you used is for literally 1% of /jp/ since everyone and their dakis are crossboarding scum like OP.

>>11260467
Grandpa what are you doing on the computer?

I can't remember. Probably Love Hina, got me into all the fansub thing, then weeb music, then doujin games/music, then VNs, then Japanese, then denpa, then suddenly I'm a fucking NEET.

>>11260476
It took me so long to understand the cultural differences in Pokemon.

I thought the food and the fact that they sat on the floor was just made up.

>>11260483
who the fuck didnt watch doraemon as a kid?

I dunno maybe that was a seattle thing but we watched some old anime films even in elementary school.

When I was in high school I listened to a lot of different internet radio stations. Mostly shitty dance music. I ran into a bunch of anime radio stations I liked and started listening to them, which is why I decided to start watching anime in the first place.

>>11260482
random shitty youtube videos -> 2hu
I don't watch anime

>>11260494
Ew

>>11260360
My parents.
No, really. They watched anime whith me back when I was a kid. And my old man is/was a huge fan of Tokusatsu/Godzilla.

>>11260495
Pokemon, Yugioh, and Gundam Wing on television as a child. Also, assorted anime VHS's given to me by family friends and borrowed from the library, as well as old manga from the used bookstore. I eventually stopped because my friends made fun of me.

Years later as a NEET, I rediscovered anime through Evangelion and it struck much too close to home. I've been into "otaku culture" since. Before that they were just cartoons to me.

Sorry. I forgot to delete your post number. I didn't mean to link your post.

Probably this.

captain tsubasa and kinnikuman

straight outta compton

Haruhi. It wasn't the first anime I watched but it was the one that got me seriously into the hobby. I dabbled in Japanese games and Cartoon Network/adult swim-level anime for many years before I seriously got into weeaboo shit.

>>11260604
why is haruhi so sexual?

I must have fapped to her over 100 times by now

>>11260575
was lupin 1 and 2 good? i always hear people talk about 3 but nobody mentions the first two

>>11260612
I have as well. I don't know

touhou and onaholes

>>11260618
thx man

>>11260616
epic

>>11260612
Outgoing, slutty personality and a nice body. Plus the idea of fucking god is arousing for obvious reasons.

Anime: Honestly would have had to have been Sailor Moon.

Touhou: Phantasmagoria of Flower View.

>54 posts
And not a single post telling OP to fuck off, serious evidence that /jp is full of newfags.

>>11260634
The fuck are you expecting? You think this is 2008 /jp/ or some shit?

Get out of here gramps.

appealed by the great archive of the internet on 4chan alone
and
the
fact
that
i was interested in Japanese lifestyle as a result of anime

>>my first catch of JP was a thread about Japanese student Uniforms that were realdeal

>>11260634
Nobody has given a shit about KS for years. Stop living in the past.

>>11260634
>using the word newfag
Hi there pal, get lost on the way to SO?

I watched Unico and Dragon Ball as a kid, but the first time I made a conscious decision to watch anime - while realizing that I was watching anime - would have been when .hack//sign was airing on YTV.

>>11260634
Sorry for wanting to have a civil discussion about otaku culture on the otaku culture board.

Would you rather I tell you to suck my cock, dude?

I guess my gateway into anime in general was, like most people my age, Adult Swim. Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Big O, all that good shit

As for weeaboodom and especially touhou? When a friend of mine introduced me to UNL. I don't play many fighting games, but it had really unique gameplay (compared to the ones I knew of) and I thought it was really cute and fun. My interest just flourished from there

Kill yourself back to some shit site that accepts weeaboos, freak.

Thanks. I had to think really hard to come up with a reply that would do your post justice.

>>11260644
I was thinking about it, but now seeing the Alice picture i realized it was "Marisa stole the precious thing". It was kinda catchy and i researched what this all was about - bing bang boom - a touhou secondary was born :)

>>11260467
Not the guy who posted this, but wow, I would have thought that at least half of /jp/ would fall into this category. Are you guys all younger than me, or did you just not get into otaku stuff until later in your lives?

I got specifically into "anime" with Ranma 1/2 and a few other shows of that era, I was watching them in 1993 - 94, when I was in early elementary school. I started fapping to 2D characters with Slayers, and got into VNs with Kanon and To Heart around 1999 - 2000. I am 26 now, and born in 87.

Not trying to be elitist or oldfag or whatever I'm just curious.

>>11260657
Different person, retard.

How fucking old do you think most of /jp/ is? Twenty-five?

Janitor, please clean up the shitposting in this thread.

>>11260675
So the entire thread?

>>11260662
Not everyone is a richfag and got a PC as a 10 year old kiddo

>>11260675
It'll blow over eventually.

>>11260672
There's no fucking way half of /jp/ is above the age of twenty-five. Twenty-one, maybe.

>>11260681
Go to bed kid.
