Well, I always thought that anime wasn't my kinda thing and I didn't get why people liked it so much. They went on about Naruto, Death Note, etc. I was studying Japanese in high school (I started in 4th grade but I stopped) and so many people would go on about anime and I had no clue what they were talking about most of the time. It was nearing the end of the school year and I was getting bored. My sister bought her first manga and I had nothing else to do so I started reading it and I enjoyed it a lot. That was how I got into manga and I started choosing some of the ones that interested me (Vampire Knight was one of them). It was a little while after I started that I heard that they were making an anime out of Vampire Knight so that ended up being one of the first animes I watched in Japanese. Around the same time, I discovered Lolita fashion through goth and that also got me into anime.

It was only until I started watching anime that I realised I've watched it since I was a kid. XD Well, I didn't know that the English-dubbed Pokemon and Sailor Moon were actually in Japanese back in those days.
