Ouch, probably over 25 years. In my case I only got two phases, unknowingly watching since the early 90's. and then I watched it fully consciously from 2001 onwards. During this time, of course... I shifted into a slower gear, but mainly because I simply didn't have time. I can't become a hikikomori in my location. |

Actually started getting into anime around late 2013, so it's been exactly 10 years for me. Can't say I'm at my anime watching peak right now with the likes of University life and JDrama recently joining the fray, but there's still a decent amount going, if you ask me. If we go by my track record thus far, it shouldn't be long until I'm fully back again, lol. |

24 years. If going by when I knew what anime was, then 20 years. Even though I watched most of the lineup from early Toonami and Adult Swim such as DBZ, Sailor Moon, Gundam Wing and Cowboy Bebop, I was still too young to grasp the concept of anime. I just thought they were cartoons having not registered them as foreign works. A part of me could tell they were different from standard American cartoons, but the true distinction was beyond my child mind. It wasn't until a few years later with Yu Yu Hakusho, Rurouni Kenshin, Trigun, Inuyasha and FLCL that the realization finally dawned on me. My grandmother showing me Spirited Away on VHS was also a key moment of enlightenment. |

Since 2005. Mostly uninterrupted until 2018 and 2019 when, for various reasons, I burned-out and didn't watch much until 2020 when I came back into it in full force. |

I will say early 90's when DBZ and Yu Yu Hakusho came out. So almost 30 years now. |

I started anime with My Neighbor Totoro, Nausiccaä, Laputa and Kiki's Delivery Service. I was aware of anime like DBZ, Lupin and Anpanman but was never a "fan" of these series. As the years went on I ended up watching every single Studio Ghibli film up to "When Marnie Was There" in 2014. Even during 2014 I wouldn't really consider myself a true anime fan because all I had watched up to that point was whatever disc. I could get hold of at the anime section at the movie store (under 50 titles). I feel kinda bad, because the anime I started out with were so spectacular that by the time I really started getting into anime (2015 onward) my standards were pretty much Miyazaki, Hosada and Shinkai level which explains my Mean Score. So I would say 2015 was when I went from a general film watcher to anime fan. |

I've been into anime since 2005, so 18 years now. While I never gave up on anime completely, I did have a longer period from around 2014 to 2019 when I did not have the time to watch anime as much as I used to since I was working full time and getting a second degree. Like it would take me months just to finish one series. There is plethora of titles that came out during this gap, that I still didn't get to catch on (Kaguya-sama, My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer etc.). I hope I'll get to them one of these days. |

Well started watching Doraemon since I was like 7 or 8. Not counting Doraemon and Shinchan. My first anime knowing it's an anime was when I was in 6th grade. So when I was around 11 years old. I should probably have a lot more anime in my list since I'm an anime fan for 7 years. |

My first anime I was watching was Pokemon when I was a child and I really enjoyed it. I also noticed that I preferred the artstyle of pokemon over cartoons, so it stucked to me a little that I like the visuals of an anime. Since 2015 with series like FMA Brotherhood, Elfenlied, To-Love Ru, Samurai Girls and 11eyes, I'm watching anime on a regular basis. Back then, I used to play video games way much than nowadays, so I´m spending more time watching anime than in the past. |
