In my case it was a slow infection, from being aware that 'not all cartoons come from the US or UK' when I was a kid. Then came an 'awareness' of it in my younger days, and exposure to the 'Sunday morning mecha' anime at friends places. To a deeper affliction by watching some of the films and tv series in my 20s, until now where my condition has worsened to oughright addiction.
