What is the 1st anime you watched that turned you into an Otaku??

Hello my name is Sean 25 yrs old. The one that caught my attention and held my interest was Baki the grappler season one.

My name's Jamie, I'm 21 and a cold-hearted mercenary from Britainland! The first anime I've watched that started my otaku way of life is D.N. Angel when I was about 11. For some reason I really liked it and I have a soft spot for it to this day :D But saying that, I've always loved anime since I was a wee little lad back when my mom used to sit me in front of Dragon Ball Z and I used to do my kamehamehas :D (Come we all did it!) Ah... Good times <3

My first was Yu-Gi-Oh as a kid when it was on TV, but I still re-watch it. The first anime I was hooked on was Death Note, and the two anime that got me hooked on all anime were Black Butler and Psycho-Pass.

The first anime I ever watched was Sailor Moon. I was 4 and they'd just gotten it on tv in the US. But I guess I really became an otaku when Cartoon Network started showing anime like Tenchi Muyo and Outlaw Star on Toonami. I was lucky because my town had this amazing video rental place with a huuuge anime selection, especially since it was the 90s and there really wasn't a lot of dubbed anime out there.

hay they my name is kashaun my first anime that then me into a otaku was sailor moon fro some reason i don't know why but i always seem to like sailor jupiter and love to she her kick butt and look good doing.

Hi my name is Ramón 22 years old Mexican Its weird how you ask an introduction and you don´t do it first. Dragon Ball was my first anime and thanks to that i kept watching anime until I saw it was an awsome entertainment because of their story, action, drama, superpower and teachings on life. <3

Akira was when I really knew that Japanese animation was going to be a big deal for me. I was only a little guy when I first saw it and it blew me away. I still remember the commercials on the Sci-Fi channel: "It makes Blade Runner look like Disneyworld!" http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rJ-VVULLado/VFnosWRkPII/AAAAAAAAEXE/Pe0J3K5x5P0/s1600/Bike.gif @#&% yeah! It's still soooo badass. My dream is to own that bike... Of course, unbeknownst to me, I had been watching Japanese animation since well before then in the form of East-West co-productions like Transformers and G.I. Joe. I had also been exposed to Robotech and Voltron, but it was definitely Akira that first made me go nuts about watching everything I could get my hands on. I still can remember getting RightStuf's paper catalog in the mail. It used to be so insane... $30 for three dubbed-only episodes on a casette tape!!
