Re: How did you get into the anime/manga scene?
I'd say "Pokemon" but I didn't even know it was an anime back then HAHA. I was stalking my friend's blog back then and she was writing about Cardcaptor Sakura and the beautiful romance inside it LOL. So I just had to watch! One thing led to another and I began to watch loads of animes after that... tho I'll never get over my craze over magical girl anime for the first year. 

Re: How did you get into the anime/manga scene?
I can't remember which came first but there were two things that got me into anime.
1. My brother kinda got me into it by letting me watch Full Metal Alchemist with him, even though he had to explain most of the plot to me. I think he regrets it now, because I'm not ashamed of liking anime like he is XD
2. If it wasn't my brother, it was the 4kids stuff many of us watched when we were young and didn't know better. Particularly Cardcaptor Sakura/Cardcaptors. I remember absolutely ADORING that show when I was younger. I got really excited whenever a new episode came on.

When I was young... Sailor Moon. Yup... I'm sure it was the same for many girls my age!
Re: How did you get into the anime/manga scene?
I used to watch Naruto and Pokemon all the time when I was little. After some time I stopped watching it and forgot about anime, but somebody told me about Death Note and I really wanted to watch it (I never finished it). And then i started to watch Vampire Knight and all the other anime like SAO or Fairy Tail or other stuff...

Yeah I really liked the start of Vampire Knight.... until the ending came along. Did you read the manga version or just the anime version? Yeah... I was also a hardcore Pokemon and Digimon fan when I was 12.

Re: How did you get into the anime/manga scene?
My first anime was. Um. Do Rei Mi, I think? It was a magical girl anime. Those have always been my favorite ^^. I watched it when I was about 9 years old.
Since then I've watched all sorts of anime ranging from like, horror to romantic comedy. I'll watch any kind of genre as long as I find the plot and characters interesting.

Re: How did you get into the anime/manga scene?
Oh, my first anime was Magic Knight Rayearth, Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon, all on TV when I was hardly 3~5 years old...for me they were like any other cartoon until I watched Sakura Card Captors at 6 if I remember correct, I started to notice the difference between the normal ones and those...
Later on I watched Beyblade and Yu-gi-oh!, started to buy some magazines about anime and manga and here I'm, being anime trash who loves to cry at 3 am because my OTP can't be together or just because I got the bad ending on anything I'm playing...I'm very good at getting bad endings at first...but this is how I ended being like this(?)

Re: How did you get into the anime/manga scene?
I would like to say that my first foray into anime was through Rurouni Kenshin and Yu Yu Hakusho, but then that would be discounting Digimon, Pokemon, DBZ, Yugioh, and Beyblade. All of which I loved when I was younger (and still do). My very first subbed anime though was Ermentar Gerad/Elemental Gelade.
For manga I was introduced to it whilst browsing (ie reading without paying) in a bookstore. Though I must say without anime I probably wouldn't be quite so addicted to the internet orz. Which may be a lie since games are pretty important to me as well.

My siblings fault. They showed me sailor moon and then other anime's along the way. They actually don't watch anime much, just the ones they showed me, I guess those were it for them.

When I was like 5 I think I watched Ranma but, like many what really got me into anime was Naruto (which I don't even like anymore haha)

Re: How did you get into the anime/manga scene?
I was a Toonami child, for those who don't live in the America it was a weekly tv broadcast of some popular animes. That is when I was introduced to Dragon Ball Z, Naruto and One Piece and I was eight I think and that was my first time with anime.

Re: How did you get into the anime/manga scene?
My first anime was Salior Moon. I used to be late everyday going to pre-school because I refused to leave until I finished watching the episode that morning even if I had already seen it. Then I had an off period followed by rediscovery thanks to Yu-gi-oh!
I actually can't remember a time I wasn't into anime. I didn't get into manga until I was like 9 or 10 and it was with Fruits Basket and my first copy of Shonen Jump.

Re: How did you get into the anime/manga scene?
My first anime was Card Captor Sakura, because my best friend introduced me to it. We would try to sing the opening song together.
For my first manga, I actually read Shinohara Chie's Umi no Yami, Tsuki no Kage. My mother had bought it and left it lying around, then I picked it up when I was in fifth grade (I think). So my mom is the one who actually introduced me to manga, lol.

Re: How did you get into the anime/manga scene?
My first anime was around DBZ~ Ranma1/2 ~ Pokemon and Digimon (?) Umm the last 2 probably came much later. ..And I still remember when my mom got angry at me for watching Ranma .. (lol?)
As for the manga part I remember I was watching DGM at the time. and somehow I caught up and I wanted to know more, and I heard somewhere the manga had more "future anime episode" so i looked it up and ended up reading DGM manga and a bunch of other mangas~

Re: How did you get into the anime/manga scene?
We'll I think I first watched anime first before I started reading manga. I think my first anime was Fruit Basket. I didn't really enjoy the story though, to be honest. Just skipped from the middle to the end. I then found "Special A" and "Ouran High School" the anime's. Ouran was one of the anime/manga's that got me into "reverse harems".
It also got me into the manga world. I then started reading other manga's/manhwa's/manhua's like Hana Kimi, Red River, 1/2 Prince, Absolute Witch, Angel Dairy, Huaixin De Wanghou, Akatsuki No Yona, Inu x Boku SS, Superior, Hana to Akuma, Otome Youkai Zakuro, Otoyomegatari, Last Game, Skip Beat!, and Beauty Pop. (can't list everyone since I've read so much xD)

Re: How did you get into the anime/manga scene?
I was born in a country where children have heard of anime(guess the country? XD).
Watched the Chinese dubbed Cardcaptor Sakura, Digimon, Doremi, Pokemon, and etc in my childhood and once I was old enough, I purchased random shoujo.

Re: How did you get into the anime/manga scene?
Yeah just like you guys/girls I watched the Dragon ball z and it's like the first anime I ever watched(lol I still remember that I watched it when I was 5 at my cousin house)!
So yeah I watched that serie, though at the time I only watched that while I didn't care about other series! I thought it was regolar cartoon then...
The anime that got me into anime so hard are: Card Captors Sakura (my forever anime fav
), Fushigi Yuugi and Shaman King!
I become a fan of those when I spent a whole month at my grandma's huose (which was on the middle of nowhere) and the only company I had was the tv that had the channel Animax which shows anime 24h/7!
(Card captor Sakura show was trasmitted 4 times a day and each of it had 2 ep).
Yeah, that period totally got me into anime!
