My first Anime was a Gundam around 11 years ago. After which I watched Toonami and the Anime dubs they aired, Toonami closed down though, just in time for me to find Adult Swim with Death Note and FMA. Throughout all this I didn't know it was Anime that I was watching, referring to them as just Cartoons, then about 6 months ago I learned exactly what a Anime and a Manga was, and since then it's just been farther down the Rabbit Hole.
