Yep, this was probably my first anime. I wouldn't say it got me into anime by itself but it certainly opened the door. After that, my sister and my friends kind of pulled me in. Haha.
@VulcanSphere it was a very long time, I remember I watched a shounen anime at about 7 years old. I really liked that anime but I didn't watch much. But I didn't know the name of it... But when I get older, I realize it is Reborn for no reason... maybe I have déjà vu 🥺
Hitsuji bungaku from Heike Monogatari is too as well (note that the translation in the video is rather shoddy). Also, the visual for the opening is fantastic if you haven't seen it. This one was released rather late and well after the show ended so it doesn't get much traction.
Something a little different. This is a character song from Vanitas no Carte sung by voice actor/actress as their respective character in the show.
ZAQ's Soranone comes to mind. It was used as opening for Kouya no Kotobuki Hikoutai from 2020, which is not well known and underrated itself. I think ZAQ is underrated in general among western community, so basically any of her anisongs could fit.
What a phenomenal episode!
You know, I wasn't really that hyped during the season, some episodes kinda felt like filler or had a slow pace, but for this finale they really pulled out all the stops!
I love how badass Tanjiro is, damn. That demon really was a despicable being, even during his human life. Glad not every villain gets a "I used to be a good guy" backstory.
It was 9 or 10 years ago I think, back when I still used iFunny regularly. One day there was a featured gif from the anime A Certain Scientific Railgun, but I didn't know what it was at the time.
It was a clip from the first episode, a scene where the main character flicks a coin at an oncoming car, except the coin shoots out at hypersonic speed and blows up the road in front of the car. It was captioned something like "Me when slow cars won't move out if the way". A few days later, I went back to the comments on the post to find out what the clip was from. I watched the whole first season on YouTube on my 3DS that week and it's been my favorite anime ever since.
A friend had been trying to convince me for months to watch Attack On Titan at the time too, but I just wasn't interested in anime until that meme.
It's not too uncommon to see it mentioned in places like r/anime (Misaka even won the 2016 r/anime Best Girl Contest), but it's definitely taking a back seat now to newer anime. What got you to watch it?
I had just started university 10 years ago when I would constantly hear people around me mention Attack on Titan. I had no idea about the show, but was curious enough to figure out what people were so hyped about, so in I went. And now, I'm still waiting for that damn final episode!
@VulcanSphere A PS2 game, Ultimate Ninja 5, on a store of used products back when I was on my early teens. This made me curious and I started checking stuff out. And around 2015, I got a PS Vita, which aggravated my interest.
Back when I was a kindergartener, Heidi would run a lot on TV. I didn't realize it was anime back then. Later I would read through all the manga at my local library, stuff like Dragonball, Yu-Gi-Oh and Hunter x Hunter and watched Pokemon when I came home from school. I took a break and came back years later to watch SAO and liked it a lot.
Kill la Kill was the first show I followed on release and actually engaged with the anime community online. That got me completely hooked and into watching new anime each season.
My first anime was Death Parade, and I just fell in love right away. I found the stories to be much more engaging than many of the TV shows I was being exposed to at the time (and since, tbh), along with the visuals being easier to actually see; unlike the direction that many other forms of media seem to taking these days making everything so damn dark you can't see what's going on.
I don't remember exactly which series I started watching beyond that, but I remember Bleach being one of the most memorable. After that, I branched off into a bunch of different genres.
