I left the poll multiple choice for those of us who read manga at one age and watched an anime at another.


How old were you when you were first introduced to manga/anime? I was 13 and Inuyasha was the first manga that I read...In fact Inuyasha was the only manga that my local library had at the time. Ten years later and I'm still reading Inuyasha every week that it comes out. I've also purchased every English translated volume up to date.

Inuyasha and Cowboy Bebop were the first anime programs that I saw. I watched them when they first came out on Adult Swim in 2001 (Cowboy Bebop) and 2002(Inuyasha), which made me 16-17.

whenever sailor moon came out onto cartoon network thats when i first started into anime, and then the manga but i was never really into it. I cannot believe that i left out DBZ and tenchi muyo.....loved DBZ! Then i watched inuyasha and cowboy bebop but i was never really into it. It wasn't until last year that i really truly got into manga and anime

I remember I was really, really young like 4 or 5 when I first saw my first anime and manga book, but I really never toke any interest in it until I was about 10, so I going to vote on 9-12 years
I remember watching Doeamon when I was really young and its still one of m favorite series today, but I really go interested in anime and manga after watch the Detective Conan anime series

I first watched DBZ and Tenchi Muyo! and Gundam Wing in the late 90's. Then about 3-4 years ago say Rurouni Kenshin and then went out and bought all the manga volumes I could find until I had the whole series. And during that time started reading a lot more manga.

Default Good old times

I remeber like if it was yesterday. My fist manga that I every read was Rurouni Kenchin. It took me so many years (about 3) to buy the collection, but I was so happy when it was complete, and also, my very fist anime that I fell in love with when I was about 7 was Escaflowne. I just recently found the movie at a very low price and went nuts over it, it was like if I found gold. I guess I'll never get bored...I hope...
