I love Anime so much, like some peoples do too.
I know Anime since when I'm 6 years old.
But, I'm not suddenly fell in love with it, there is some process.
The first Anime i like the most in my nation television is Ghost at School. Even I didn't know the Japanese cartoon is called "Anime" in that time. When i was in Elementary School, I'm not just saw Ghost at School of course. Some of Anime i like the most that time are Full Metal Panic (Fumoffu), Shinsengumi (somekind like that if I'm not wrong), Slayer, etc.
When I continue my school to Junior High School, at last I know what "Anime" exactly is. The first Anime i got when I was in JHS is Fate Stay Night. After saw that movie, I started to saying,"So, this is Anime world. Fantastic".
From there on, I start to collect my own Anime collection. I start from that Fate Stay Night, and then Zero no Tsukaima, School Rumble, Negima, etc.
And now, I'm still watching Shakugan no Shana. Can't wait for the third season... :-))
