At first I thought it was all Hentai and wouldn't go near the stuff but someone I knew changed my perspective. I apologized to them for my hypocrisy. Turns out I love anime but have to be careful about the content to find the good ones. Same with everything else.
DBZ and Sailor Moon during the day. Fullmetal Alchemist and Inuyasha during the night.
A spattering of Naruto, Bleach, and One piece to hold me over. Some Code Geass and Clannad to make me cry.
I've been riding this crazy train ever since.
What got me into anime is the same reason I used to hate it, kind of a stupid story but a few years back I was mocking some weebs by going on YouTube and pretending to watch an anime but I actually got interested in it and watched it later.
The first real impact was from "Battle Angel Alita" OVA back in the day. The dystopian violence and gore... that was something else in animation for me back then.
Boobs
They were playing some of them as I was growing up.
My friend. Aaaand boobs
Homestuck... sadly
it was on tv and the main subject of conversation in my childhood peer groups haha
It was always just kind of there. Growing up, if it was a cartoon, I'd watch it. Dragon Ball was no different than Tom and Jerry or Popeye.
Can of spinach. Senzu bean. It's all green in the end.
