I can’t quite recall when I first became aware of it because I always kinda knew what anime was, I actually got into it later in high school because it was another one of those things where I associated it with people at my school who were…unrad. But later in high school I grew away from that and discovered it properly for myself and I really enjoy it! I have every volume of Tokyo Ghoul and I’m always looking for new anime to watch or manga to read 
What about you guys?
I really loved reading these books when I got my hands on some
My friend loves Hetalia and Vocaloid.
I was just browsing through Netflix and I stumbled upon the anime section
I had associates who watched it and tried to force me into watching it too but it wasn’t my cup of tea even though I’ve probably watched some on tv already. 
Anime has been around me since I was a kid because my uncle who I grew up with loves watching it. It wasn’t really my thing at first, until I watched an anime that really intrigued me (Sword Art Online).
Since then, I’ve been watching it casually. Majority of my friends also watch anime, but I barely talk to them about it. And now, I watch anime religiously. I guess I’m more of an anime watcher more than a manga reader.
She was also a big fan of OHSHC, so I decided to watch it. Things escalated from there. Now I’ve seen like…fifteen. @AnimeNerds, how’d you discover anime and manga?
Anime discovered me.
