The Beloved First Anime


So we all have that first anime that drew us in and made us want to watch more. If it was a long shonen (shounen?) like Naruto, Bleach, or One Piece we're probably still watching it. If it was a shorter piece, like my first Anime: Kamisama Hijamemashita (or Kamisama Kiss if you REALLY don't want to spell out Hijamemashita) it left you wanting more as soon as you finished the last episode. Granted you owe it a lot for bringing you to the anime community in the first place (unless you're not really and fan of anime and you're just reading this blog thinking 'what they heck?') and you probably have some good memories associated with it. As for me anime brought me and my high school friends together (and keeps us together...though not as much anymore) and we can all look back to the time when my friend, who at the time was the only Otaku, forced us to watch her new favorite anime and we all didn't know what the heck was going on because she showed us random clips that were out of order. Finally I was so confused and curious that I watched the whole thing in two days and became hooked.
The really tall, white guy with cat ears is my anime crush Tomoe. So here's my question for you
How did you discover anime?
What was your first anime?
Is it your favorite?
how did you find your next anime?
  and since that turned out to actually be four questions
How do you find new anime?
I watch reviews by a youtuber named Gigguk, because he's really entertaining and usually I check out some of the anime he reviews if it looks interesting. He might not have the most professional review style, but he gets some important points across and makes it entertaining too.
I figured a first anime blog would be a good first blog so there you go, the official start of the anime talk blog. Hope you enjoy, comment, and stop by again because even if I don't get on it right away I will post more....eventually.

Ps. Sorry if the formatting is terrible the blog platform was acting up and I had to type the whole thing in HTML instead of word document format. very hard to do actually. Looks like we kicked this party off with technical difficulties....Tomoe's fault. But on the Brightside it can only get better, right?
