Although my first anime was back during early childhood (back when anime programme block was a regular thing in Indonesian television). Vulcan just really started following anime seriously during junior high school back in 2012 (classmates are into Attack on Titan and Sword Art Online during that time, and we often chatted about latest anime airing during class break. A friend was also into osu! and we played together).

So, kbin anime, how did you get into anime? Share your story here.

Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust got the ball rolling for me. Saw it on the shelf and the artwork and premise looked interesting. Loved it!

After that, I asked the guy at the video store for recommendations and ended up binging Evangelion next. Then I was a goner and just started devouring what the clerk suggested and rarely found anything from his list that I didn't love.

By the time I caught up on all the classics, a ton of absolute classics came out around the same time, and I wondered if there were actually any bad anime. :P

All within a year or 2 was:

  • Gurren Lagann
  • The Garden of Sinners
  • Sword of the Stranger
  • Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit
  • Kanon
  • The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
  • Utawarerumono

I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but I wondered at the time if it would always be this good. Feels like a bit of a golden age now.
