What was your first anime? When did you started to watch it? How did you become aware of its existence?

Was it the anime that made you an anime fan? (If you consider yourself as such)

How does it rank for you? Would you say you still like it? Would you consider it one of you favourite anime series?

I didn't discover Rouroni Kenshin until much later, as it never officially aired in the UK (and if it did, I missed it completely).

It was probably late 00s when I first got to the States that I saw it for the first time based on recommendation.

That being said, after DBZ I went into all the 90s / early 00s classics: Elfen Lied, GitS, Trigun, Bebop, Outlaw Star, Akira, etc.

They honestly don't make anime like they used to. I can't point to anything modern that even comes close except maybe the Blame OVA from a few years ago. Maybe Chainsaw Man but the tropes are so modern it's hard for me to compare it to anything from back then.

It's exactly what it says on the tin. Anime, manga, and other forms of Asian entertainment like them.
