I know a vast majority of the users of EP are immense fans of anime and manga...

but what 'snapped' you?

by this, i mean... what turned you from watching the odd little bit or seeing it around... to watching it when the seasons come out, keeping up with the news... and inevitably picking up a very very basic knowledge of japanese from it (unless you study it already).

i know i used to watch the odd anime when i was really young... the stuff that got super popular and sent to english countries... dubbed. now i watch japanese subbed stuff on a weekly basis and read some manga, but not nearly as religiously as anime.

and the reason for this transition?

(i am very new to all this, in comparison, as quite a few of you know)

Now i ask you the same question ;D
