ALL ABOARD! Popularity train is leaving the station!
I’ve seen a few posts about this challenge and I find it very fun, so I’ve nominated myself. Mhm.
Now, my first anime. Well as a kid, before I knew what anime was, i watched Pokemon, Yugioh, Inuyasha, and Cardcaptors. So while they may be anime, i dont think they should count because I wasnt ‘watching anime’ i was watching the cartoons on tv.
The first series that I sat down and watched, knowing full well that I was watching anime, was Deathnote.
Its not original, I know. Everyones watched it at some point. Its nothing amazing to have seen it. But I started watching it, because I was bullied into it. I had a friend online who was so shocked I didnt know what Deathnote was, that they yelled at me to not speak to them until I watched it.
Like I had to message them and ask what Shinigami were, and get information on so many elements that are very common. I just had no idea what they were. I dont remember if I watched it subbed or dubbed though.
And ever since then, its all been downhill. Ive fallen down the rabbit hole that is anime and otaku culture. and frankly, id never want to crawl back up the hole. im happy here.
So lets look forwards to tomorrows post… my favorite anime ive watched so far!

Loved it. Could watch it again but so much more to watch! Good character development, good suspense. Watching Monster now – so far, so good. I like horror but also slice of life and food anime.

Alot of the character elements are similar to Aijin, if you havent seen that one yet. Its a different type of animation, but i think you would enjoy Aijin.

Death Note was definitely one of the first anime I actively watched knowing it was anime. I don’t know if it was Death Note, Evangelion or Bleach but I watched all of these around the same time and they are what got me into anime as an adult and past my Sailor Moon days.

Its on netflix if you ever wanna take the plunge. The ending is an actual ending. It sticks to the manga 😮 its a bit fast paced in certain parts but its also very methodical.
