How'd you get in to it? Where did you start?
I started with Pokemon!! :D
Me and my brother were crazy about the games and cards when we were younger. So of course we loved watching the anime together too. I have fond memories of watching the anime up until Black and White's anime. That's when I started to move away from the Pokemon anime, I felt that it wasn't that great anymore. I still love Pokemon but just not the anime Lol. Honestly Pokemon holds a pretty big spot in my heart, something I always loved about the anime was how good it used to look. Especially the movies, it was like they pulled out all the stops,, they used to look incredible. All the scenes were so memorable. Like going from season 1 Pokemon and then watching Pokemon: Spell of the Unknown's was amazing. I miss when so much care was put into the franchise.
Me and my brother continued to watch Pokemon together along with Yu-Gi-Oh and Dragonball. Once they stopped airing on 4kids and Nickelodeon. He kind've moved away from anime and I on the other hand continued to watch it on my own. Thanks to Toonami I watched Sailor Moon, Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion, Akira and many others. I attribute my love of watching anime to Pokemon and the VHS tape of Spirited Away that I was gifted in 2005. Ever since Spirited away, I've always been drawn to feature films (as rare as they are). The first time I watched the entirety of that movie, I thought it was so magical like not only was the story good so was the art and the soundtrack. The way it all came together was an incredible experience. It's still one of my favorite movies.
Nowadays I don't keep up with every anime season like I did in high school, but if it's from an especially good managa I will go and watch the adaptation!
