    When I was a kid, I was exposed to Dragonball, Naruto, Pokemon, Digimon, Beyblade, Cowboy Bebop, Tri-Gun, Cowboy Bebop, and Anime that shown on Adult Swim, Toonami, and Jetix. To tell the truth, I didn’t like it nor hate it. So you can say I had a neutral feeling towards Anime. I remember watching Anime in Mexican Channels during my visit in Mexico since visited Mexico a lot during my childhood.

    By time I reached my teens, I started to become an anime fan after being exposed to Anime such as Inazuma Eleven and Captain Tsubasa. Although I still consume Western Entertainment the most during my teens and childhood as well as being mostly interested in Western Entertainment.

    But now, I’m mostly interested in Anime.

    My first exposure to anime was also through English dubs of most of those, but I didn’t really start caring about anime until I heard a Japanese dub for the first time which was of Dragon Ball Z when I was in high school. I really enjoyed how the language sounded and It got me into studying Japanese and meeting a Japanese girlfriend who then sucked me into more anime and manga and I eventually ended up going to Japan to live there for two years and now I’m fluent in the language.

    First exposure: dubbed G-Force aka Battle of the Planets aka Gatchaman

    Start: In the mid 90’s after high school

    Gateway: Tenchi, I liked the sci-fi elements, but after that I moved on to Ranma 1/2 then Evangelion

    Side note: while Robotech was technically an anime, it was commissioned for western audiences. Debates rage if it’s true anime or not. It’s still one of my favorites

      1) What type of Anime were you exposed to?

      When i was a little kid there was a channel that showed tons of anime from the 70s and 80s, my fave of those being Ranma 1/2, so mostly that was the type of anime i was first exposed to, they showed so many i can’t even remember the titles of half of them

      2) When did you started to become a Anime Fan?

      Digimon Frontier, that’s when i started to become obsessed with Digimon and anime at 4 years old

      3) What was your gateway Anime?

      I don’t really understand what you mean by gateway, if you mean what’s the very first anime i ever watched, i don’t really remember, it might be Ranma 1/2, i was 2 years old when i first watched anime, not kiddig

      4) What was your childhood Anime?

      Digimon, fave anime of all time, another childhood favorite is Hamtaro, also grew up watching Ranma 1/2, Pokémon, Dragon Ball, One Piece, Detective Conan (another fave), Yu-Gi-Oh, though i really got into that with GX as i was too little to remember most of the original, Beyblade, Doraemon, Pretty Cure, Zatch Bell (also one of my faves), later in middle school Fullmetal Alchemist, and it’s now my second fave anime of all time, and many, many more anime wich i can’t remember right now :P
