BrownMasterV:
So around this time of November last year, a little brown man discovered the world of anime. It changed his little brown life. He has since pierced through the heavens, kicked his life to the curb, and delved into the world of the otaku.

This brown man is I. (WHAT A TWIST!)
Yes, it's been around one year now since I started watching anime...and I'm glad I made that decision.
I'm nowhere near stopping now :3
I know 1 year is VERY new compared to most of the people on this site.
However, In this one year, I have amassed 64 series/movies (Excluding OVAs and specials), and my to-watch list is ever-growing.
This past Summer season was the first time I've ever watched/followed airing anime.

So when did you all start watching anime, and when were your anime 'checkpoints'?
When did you realize your otaku-ness?
When is your animeversary?

Pentium100:
I started watching anime somewhere in 2005, I think in summer. Before, I had watched Dragon Ball (,Z,GT), Rurouni Kenshin and (I think) Shaman King on TV but did not know that they were called anime. Anyway, when I found out, one day when I had nothing better to do I went to some FTP server and downloaded a few episodes of School Rumble. A few months later I actually watched those episodes and really liked it. Then I went to anime-planet to look for similar series.

I have about 1TB of anime in my collection (some of it is on DVD-R, some on hard drives and more on tapes).

I started watching anime before it was even called anime. I have memories of watching Science Ninja Team Gatchaman when I was just a tod in Taiwan. Me and my sisters would gather round the TV religiously every week and act out the opening as it played. I even had the costume of one of the characters. Yeah I started cosplaying when I was three.  ;D That was 30 years ago  :o

Happy Animeversary!

I was in highschool when I started to watch anime. That was in 2000....I feel a bit old right now

Soryon:
I first started watching anime around 2000 while I was in High School. I was pretty big into it back then but then for some reason I stopped watching it all together around 2002. I started back up around 2006 by catching up on some of the stuff I had missed in that time. That was also the first time I had watched an anime as it actually aired (well, and got subbed) which was Ergo Proxy. Something about the anticipation of waiting for new episodes roped me in but it only lasted for a year or so. I just started watching again last year.
I can't say if I will stop watching again but I don't think I will for quite a while.

I don't think of myself as an otaku at all as I only see anime as a form of entertainment. I don't take it all that seriously and I don't collect merchandise.(I do have an Akira t-shirt and an NGE t-shirt from like 10 years ago tho.) I like to talk about it on the internet cuz I can't talk about it with my RL friends.

My animeversary? I don't remember.
