I'm an ex anime hater turned avid anime fan. I gave anime a try after hating on it and i watched attack on titan and i fell in love with anime. I've been watching anime since July or August 2015. I also play a lot of games :P. [NOTE] any anime in my favorites that have a second season are also my favourites. I dont include 2nd seasons so that i can save room to add more shows to my favourites so, for example even though i only have season 1 of owari no seraph in my favourites, season 2 is still one of my favourites, its not there so that i can save room for other series to put in my favourites. Another example is fairytail, fairytail 2014 is my favourite as much as fairytail, its just not there to save space.

My favourite anime genres are shounen, fantasy, adventure, mystery and action

My favourite anime studios are Madhouse, A1 Pictures, Wit Studio, White Fox, Studio Pierrot and Production I.G

Story on how i got into anime

Well back in 2015 my irl friend asked me if i watched anime and i was like wtf is that "is it a game or movie or what" (LOL). He then told me about what it was and that it was Japanese cartoons and i started constantly talking shit to him because i was uninformed and thought they were Japanese cartoons for children and frankly i was being immature. But i started watching youtube videos on "why do people like anime" and i gradually kept becoming more and more interested over the next 2 weeks of finding out about anime so i asked my friend for a really good recommendation for me and he suggested attack on titan.

I started watching attack on titan and i still didn't like anime for the first 5 episodes while watching because i wasn't being open minded what so ever but then it happened... i watched episode 6 of attack on titan and i was blown away, i became instantly addicted. I had never been more mind blown in my life at how great something was, i just couldn't believe through watching the series how fantastic it was. I fell in love with that show and instantly became addicted to anime, i had to eat my words and i was constantly apologizing to my friend about just how wrong i was because i had never felt so wrong about something in my life.

I have watched a lot of anime since 2014, I've completed a lot of anime since starting anime. I'm also a big gamer and have been since i was 5 years old (currently 20) but anime took control of my life lol and i did nothing but binge watch anime for 4 months straight when i discovered it when i wasn't at college or doing college work at home. I had never felt such strong emotional attachment to any entertainment before i found anime. I was so emotionally attached to every anime i watched but after 3 years of watching anime, unfortunately i no longer feel great emotional attachment to any characters or shows i watch these days but i still love anime :P, thats my story, so yes i was a anime hater turned avid anime fan and otaku.

I'm glad i discovered anime because anime opened my eyes and made me a much more open minded person since and im open to trying much more things than just gaming. ps i used to be very close minded. [NOTE] you may be wondering how come i didn't know about anime to so late and that is because im from the UK and anime isn't on tv here and not a lot of people watch it, its much more of a niche here than it is in the US
