Heres a funny story. I liked anime when i was in preschool and didnt even know it!
I found out like a year ago, that, in the early 90's, on Nick Jr, there were 3 animes! And i remeraberd back then i LOVED those shows! There was Mya the Bee, The Little Bits, and My Little Koala. Kinda funny how i grew up to like anime after that.
As far as when i was older, Just Pokemon. Was into that for a couple years. But then i found Digimon and let that go. Digimon led me to watch.. another show i wont mention ^^,,, that led me to Yu Gi Oh, which led to Yu Yu Hakusho, and before you know it, im an anime fan!
