How many of you got into anime before it was NT?

[Looksmax Refugee]

Those are the true fans. I am ashamed to say I got into it after it became normie tier. I watched Dragon Ball Z as a child but I don't think that counts.

I got into it it when I was 13-14 and I was already watching harem shit jfl but I didn’t have much access to it because I had limited internet. So that’s like 2016 so ig right before it became normie

People who used to watch it were seen as weirdos

I watched naruto and toradora when I was younger, idk if it was NT around there.

I've always watched cartoons & if there was anime on cartoon network or some similar tv channel I might watch some but only really got into it ~3 years ago. ngl it's annoying seeing how everybody's watched all the mainstream ones on netflix now.

Naruto was always NT. Toradora on the other hand would be niche back then.

That was pre-covid tbh

But there was people in the more nerdy circles on Tumblr and stuff who liked it.

With the advent of social media and more left leaning activist, those personality types naturally gravitate toward obscure artsy things so it blew up, plus a ton of great anime trap normies

I was reading mangas all day in 2009 when I was 8 years old, never got into anime until my teenage years because my parents instilled in me that spending too much time looking at a screen was bad

was watching various dubs on TV along cartoons, wasn't aware they are anime but watched a lot from popular to more obscure.
(anime or whatever other hobbies are normal) being on the spectrum and on medication has nothing to do with your hobbies nigga

i watched dbz and naruto as a little kid and from there watched most popular shounens before anime got popular

Pretty late tbh. Started slightly getting into it in 2017. My life went to total shitter late 2017 so that's when I went full anime autism to cope.

It's good when something you like starts to get popular. Then you can mog people with your superior knowledge of it.
