Everyone’s starter anime is death note.
I don’t count sailor moon or dbz cuz you watched those as a kid and assumed they were cartoons.
I mean when you got “into” anime fully aware of what it was and actually became immmmmmersed in this bizarre weeb culture.
It’s usually death note.
Trigun, but I did go through the Light-is-right phase until I watched Code Geass.
Outlier.
Although I guess it was naruto or Bleach for some people.
I got you all beat. The Original Big 3. Akira, Vampire Hunter D, Ninja Scroll. And those when I was a child of 9. Death Note was WAYYYYY down the line.
I watched and finished Mirai Nikki before I even started Death Note
I’ve never even watched death note. I saw Naruto as a kid and didn’t know what anme was back then so by the logic of this post that doesn’t count so that makes FMA (from 2003) my starter.
My starter anime was… SAO.
I’m so embarrassed for you.
I can beat this. This first real anima/manga pair was enforced from a “friend”.
Loveless.
Does Zoids count?
If not then yugioh and Saiyuki were my first anime series (Fruits Basket was my first manga.) I never watched Naruto, DBZ, or Death Note
death note came out when i was older…and wasn’t really into anime as much anymore so my starters were like yu yu hakusho and rurouni kenshin and stuff i guess
Soul eater, followed by Ouran highschool host club
Ninja Scroll, Hellsing and Full Metal Alchemist were the first ones I can remember watching, never seen Death Note
The early parts of the first FMA and Yu Yu Hakusho were them for me. Death Note came later when I went full weeb.
Flcl. Unless Pokémon counts.
my starter anime was Black Butler but Death Note and SAO weren’t far after. Thank god im done with two of those
