Alright, prepare to embark on my anime journey...
I was visiting my relatives in New York City (flew from San Diego) and that was when I had my first encounter with an amazing anime, Naruto. I've seen Naruto before on Cartoon Network and I thought it was dumb at first until I noticed my cousin watching it in New York. I asked her what was that and she looked at me confused, then said, the anime Naruto. I thought it looked amazing so I watched some with her, then watched some alone. I got super addicted to it and that was when I began to realize there were other animes out there that were amazing as well. I started watching underrated animes because I didn't know any good ones at the time. I first watched Green Green and School Days (I would not recommend either of them to watch... I was 10/11 and perverted) then I started watching action animes. I continued to watch anime until I finally found great anime websites, kissanime and animeshow.tv I finally knew what animes were airing and when to watch them. And thus, here I am now, an Otaku :3
Fun fact: I once stayed up 48 hours of watching Hajime no Ippo straight...
