What really got you into anime?

Pokemon was pretty fun when it was still Ash doing his thing. I'd dropped it by the time Johto Journeys rolled around.
Samurai X was the first one I seriously followed, even the last third. That series also got my sis into anime.

I believe i was looking for lara croft naked online once and i saw a hentai pick and then i started downloading hentai and then my friend was like did you watch the latest justice league episode where lex luthur made a super bad guy team to fight the justice league and then the joker came out and threw marbles at the flash and the flash tripped and slammed into a wall i think and then i was like "no". Then i downloaded elfen lied because i read there was nudity in it and i was hooked into anime ever since. That and sailor moon/dragon ball airing in english on tv as well at the time.

Some of the first stuff I watched was toonami's DBZ and Yu Yu Hakusho, but what made me really love anime was .hack//sign and Trigun back when Adult Swim was still awesome.

Escaflowne
Waaaay back in the day when it was airing on Fox.
Good times. Hella censored though...
It got canceled pretty quickly.
After that I bought it on DVD along with Trigun.
Life hasn't been the same since...

The first anime I ever watched were Samurai Pizza Cats, Dragon Ball and Astro Boy as a kid. Later on I watched Sailor moon, DBZ, Escaflowne and some of the older movies that aired on the Space channel such as Venus Wars and Galaxy Express 999. The first anime that got me into watching subtitled episodes and movies was Card Captor Sakura though, since it's movies weren't Dubbed at the time. The theme songs for Escaflowne and Card Captor Sakura perpetuated my love for the Japanese language. The key aspect that drew me into anime was the emotional storylines and friendship based themes that they feature. I find that American television often lacks the emotion/friendship quality that is present in anime.
