How I came to know anime.
~*How I came to know anime.

Well I bet everyone questioned the word; anime. What makes girls squeal when they see a hott cartoon guy or yaoi scenes. What makes boys go crazy with fighting, and falling for rather fake woman. The ones with big boobs. How alot of teenagers prefer manga than a real book, how kids and teenagers say the most used japanese words like, Baka, desu and arigatou.
This is what brain washes kids, teens and adults. Adults like 'anime' -cough- is a -couugh- a new story.
Well Toonami, ya know on cartoon network had a program for anime. Well when I was probably 7 or 8 Toonami came on weekdays after i came back from school. I was obsessed with Sailormoon. We all know that, it's a classic! i didn't know it was called anime, i just thought it was a cartoon. I also did watch DragonBallZ A little but i found how violent and disgusting it was. Kids at my school kept on say kom- ya you know that word.
In 5th grade i had a fried in 6th grade named April. She kept on talking about Naruto. She said she read a couple of the manga's and fell in love with it. She even drew art of it -yes she is the best drawer ever-. I thought she was crazy because the show hadn't even came out yet.
While i was browsing the internet I stumbled over a couple of Naruto videos. Just watching it, i fell in love to. I thought this weird orange monkey [naruto] was the most weirdest ninja ever. My first impression on Sasuke was he was cute, but a bit depressing. Sakura a cute girl who was plain annoying. April just brain washed me so i became an expert. Collecting all the manga there was. Then i got into Kodocha, then Fruits basket. I became a fan-girl of various anime guys.
1. Rock lee
2.Gaara
3.Kyo
4.Hatsuharu
5. Akito [Kodocha]

Yea. I went crazy. After I got older i watched Adult swim. They had a couple of anime's i never watched before. Like Fooly Kooly [fell in love with that show], Bleah, Samuri champloo and deathnote. I was reading magizines about them, Bleach wasn't my thing. Deathnote must've been violent and brain washing if it was canceled in China and created the one and only 'Manga Killer' who is still wandering the streets.
I forgot about Naruto completely. Since i'm reading the manga and finding the Amercian dubbing horrible, i got into love anime. Romance. Finding my inner girl, i was always hungry for more romance anime. Lovely complex, Itazura na kiss, Bokura ga ita, Nana. And other various ones. I even tried going for the weirdest animes also like Bobobo, Welcome to the NHK, minami-ke and Kanokon [please don't watch that one if u are not into perverted stuff].
Yea. My parents noticed how crazy I was when i started drawing. I just scaled up on talent. My style is Chibi like, i'll try getting pics of that.
I even tried watching several movies, like Tokyo Godfathers, love it. And Melinium actress that made me cry.
Anime made my emotional. Air was the first most emotional anime that made me cry. Then i started crying in other animes like, True tears, nana, and Fruits basket and Vampire knight. I knew i was going crazy, but i just love their art and weird jokes. Banchou, i know what that is. Otaku. Everything.
I decided to calm down. Take a a break. So I did when i entered middle school. I only found how weirder i got. I liked the weirdest and oldest rock bands, oldest songs and went back to watching Disney movies that were on tape. I admired the clothes in the 70's to the 80's. I enjoyed 'Rick roll'd' Crap, and Whip it by Devo. I was sinking back in time. My music was random. Japanese then rock, to rap. It was so random.
My friends just didn't understand what i liked in till i started reading real books. I read big fat chapers books, so much i got the reward for reading the most in class. My books had the following themes:
1. Gay [long story]
2.Real life
3. Depressing
4. Perverted
5. Funny

The only book that made me truly cry was, 'Marley and me,' a true story about a man and dog.
I believe in horoscope crap because it explains me.
The one that is most true is that I tend to change my mind alot.

    Mmm yes anime I remeber the good old days when I had no idea it was called that, but me and my older brother were hooked big time we would watch these three main anime's all the time Dragon ball z Sailor moon Ranma 1/2
    Good old shows
    Ranma wasn't appropriate for kids though but we watched it anyway (mega perverted anime) and me and my bro watched it in Spanish, on t.v, and things weren't censored
    so yeah we got the full blast and everything in all 3 of those animes, but we were still very innocent though XD I was in at least pre-k or something that when I first saw anime I didn't realize it was called anime until 6th grade too and, the first time I did draw it though was in 5th grade and I kept going from there and that kinda got started with yugioh
    Yup From there on me and my brother developed different likes in anime and yes since I'm a girl I really like shoujo anime and BL/yaoi
    My bro is into the echii animes with alot of action like air gear
    I don't watch much anime other then naruto but I read a whole bunch of manga
    I even read Korean ones XD, Me and my bro think Deathnote is awesome, It made me sad when L died and Light went crazy at the end even made me a bit sad for misa, thats kinda amazing something like that would happen, and My bro is into Bleach, I mostly watch it when it comes to the hot anime guys XD
    My bro said Naruto made me emotional, and he has a really good point -3-
    Anime is awesome but I took a break for it to for a period of time even in drawing I don't just want to learn how to draw anime so I drew other thing and as for book I read the weirdest books, with the most deepest meanings in them, the just left you pondering, and some are just big thick books with poetry in them, like Edgar Allen Poe's writings,

    Were special that way because when my friends always want to give me something on holidays but they don't know what to give me so they give me money and a card saying sorry XD

    BTw if you ever want to read any manga go to this website
    Onemanga
    That were I read all of most of the manga I like, Like Vampire Night >w<
    There is even the on going for Ouran highschool host club since the anime finished but the manga hasn't : D
