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?
Beyond children’s stuff, and entry-tier Ghibli films, I think K-On! was one of the first anime I actually watched. I’m not really sure what I thought of it, certainly don’t recall much about it. Probably took an interest in Japanese media more from manga than anime; yuri like Morinaga’s Girl Friends helped me realise I was bisexual.
But to focus back on anime, Nichijou is probably what made me realise anime could be worth my time beyond the odd film, that made me smile on a lot of otherwise dark days. And on the opposite side of things, I’d probably attribute Madoka and NGE with teaching me the value that anime could hold as ‘art’. (I’m a sucker for an effective deconstruction of a genre.)
