Lord... That would be when I was in primary school and I discovered Sailor Moon... so about 1999-2000ish?

Garret02:
Well, if you won't count series I watched not knowing they were anime (Yatterman, Yattodetaman, Paul no Miracle Daisakusen, General Daimos, Tiger Mask, Captain Tsubasa, Sailor Moon, Arrow Emblem: Hawk of the Grand Prix, Mahou Tsukai Sally, Mahou no Mako-chan and other old stuff when I was 3+ and Dragon Ball, Slayers, Saint Seiya, Pokemon and few others when I was 9+), then it would be in middleschool when I was 13 or 14 years old (now I'm 21). I don't remember exactly when because I have terrible memory for dates but sometime then my friend gave me Hellsing and after that I wanted more. He gave me Evangelion, Trigun, Fullmetal Alchemist and Elfen Lied and after that I started downloading anime on my own (though I don't remmber what title came first). I didn't watch much (MAL says 181 copleted titles) because I love games too and I'm usually spending much more time on them but I'm very happy I started watching anime.

harpy:
I started watching it quite early (primary school I was something like 7-10 years old) with all the anime on that german TV (Dragonball and Sailor Moon stuff).
After that I did watch something since 2000 (or a year or two earlier, bad memory) here and there as I did not have my comp and could not watch and download all what I wanted (I have never been able to watch stuff online, just do not feel right), but usually I mark the time I started watching anime with 2003 when was the first time I went to watch anime on big screen (Interstella5555).

According to my anidb.net acount up to date I have 1086 titles in my watched list (do not remember most of them as I tend to forget the bad or mediocre stuff)

And I still do not follow currently airing anime, I watch only finished stuff....

rostheferret:
I'm a relative newcomer compared to most here. I think I only really sat down to watch my first show about a year ago, mostly because before that all my exposure had let me to believe it was shit. Dragonball Z and Pokemon re-runs were virtually all I had access to. I once saw a few minutes of Fruit Basket before walking off to do something else. Then when I commented about how it all seemed cheesy and childish, my sisters friend retorted with "someone's clearly never seen Elfen Lied."

I still don't think of myself as Otaku though. I view it as a format for telling a story and little more. Like Films, Books and TV shows, it has it's good examples and its bad.

JoonasTo:
I quess you could say when I was a kid, moomins, silver fang, Mila superstar, etc.

But what really counts would be the near religious following of MKR back in the day. Watched every episode, watched every rerun, I practically worshipped that series.  :P

Watching anime would be 2007/8 with elfen lied followed by black lagoon, NGE and SEL.

Elfen Lied was THE anime back then. It really drove way for a lot of other series. Made anime gain a lot of credibility.
