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.

It was 9 or 10 years ago I think, back when I still used iFunny regularly. One day there was a featured gif from the anime A Certain Scientific Railgun, but I didn't know what it was at the time.

It was a clip from the first episode, a scene where the main character flicks a coin at an oncoming car, except the coin shoots out at hypersonic speed and blows up the road in front of the car. It was captioned something like "Me when slow cars won't move out if the way". A few days later, I went back to the comments on the post to find out what the clip was from. I watched the whole first season on YouTube on my 3DS that week and it's been my favorite anime ever since.

A friend had been trying to convince me for months to watch Attack On Titan at the time too, but I just wasn't interested in anime until that meme.

I recently finished watching A Certain Scientific Railgun and I loved it, it’s probably the first time I’ve heard someone talk about it online.

It's not too uncommon to see it mentioned in places like r/anime (Misaka even won the 2016 r/anime Best Girl Contest), but it's definitely taking a back seat now to newer anime. What got you to watch it?
