[Getchoo]

> What got you into watching anime?
being in the fandoms i was when i was younger, everyone who liked mcr/fob/p!atd/dan and phil seemed to also watch anime, and wanting to be more like them i decided to start watching it too..
> How long have you been watching anime?
i watched pokemon and sailor moon when i was a kid, but that doesn't really count, so i'd say around 6 years
> What are some your favorite anime?
FRUITS BASKET, both old and the new one, jojo, tokyo ghoul, 91 days, death note...
> Do you also read Manga?
man i have a whole shelf full. it's hella expensive though so i tend to only buy the manga if i really like the anime for it
> Have you ever done cosplay?
we don't talk about how i was a yandere girl for halloween once..
> What are some good recommendations for those just starting out?
fruits basket. baseless, i just want people to watch fruits basket. but an actual easy anime to start out with would probably be death note or tokyo ghoul
> What’s your favorite genre of anime?
comedy, definitely
> Do you watch dubbed or subbed?
a mix of the 2?

[Kusakabe]

> What got you into watching anime?
In the beginning, before I started watching anime.... I hated it, the funny fact is that I'd been watching all the original pokemon movies on VHS and somehow managed to watch the indigo league (I never considered pokemon an anime and to this day I pretty much still don't) for years, it was my favourite show ironically. What actually got me into it was curiosity, I was on a plane one day and I saw the person sitting in front of me watching anime... when I got home I decided to watch my "first" anime episode which happened to be The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. (which was the anime the person was watching on the plane).
> How long have you been watching anime? 2-3 years (not including pokemon) 7 years watching pokemon tho
> What are some your favourite anime?
Naruto, Black clover, My Hero Academia and One piece... got a bunch more
> Do you also read Manga?
No, but I want to
> Have you ever done cosplay?
no, but I want to
> What are some good recommendations for those just starting out?
Naruto, death note, My hero Academia
> What’s your favourite genre of anime?
I love anything exculding mecha or romance (very picky though if I do end up watching them)
> Do you watch dubbed or subbed?
I watch both! I don't prefer either one

[aucxa]

> What got you into watching anime?

my friend used to watch hetalia back in 2015 and talked about it with me even though i had absolutely no idea what she was talking about. i decided to maybe give anime a try and so we watched attack on titan together.

> How long have you been watching anime?

for almost 4-5 years

> What are some your favorite anime?

kabaneri of the iron fortress, kakegurui, and asobi asobase

> Do you also read Manga?

not really that often but ive read oyasumi punpun, parts 1-3 of jojo, and currently caught up on the kakegurui manga.

> Have you ever done cosplay?

halloween of 2016 tried to cosplay mikasa from snk and 2017 momo from bnha

> What’s your favorite genre of anime?

anything along the lines of action, thriller, and apocalypse. comedy too when im in the mood for it.

> Do you watch dubbed or subbed?

mostly sub but ive watched black butler, ouran, and dragon pilot in dub. dragon pilot dub is probably the best dub ive ever heard.

> What are some good recommendations for those just starting out?

dragon pilot: hisone & masotan (watch in dub!!) and kakegurui

[ryan?!]

> What got you into watching anime?
my brother started watching anime so i did too.

> How long have you been watching anime?
probably since 2010, starting with pokemon indigo league. then it was powerpuff girls Z, okami-san and her seven companions, kotoura-san, squid girl

> What are some your favorite anime?
ouran highschool hostclub, neon genesis evangelion, jjba, fooly cooly, gurren lagann, hayao miyazaki & makoto shinkai films

> Do you also read Manga?
sadly no, i don't even read books :p i hear that some good manga are goodnight pun-pun, tomie, vagabond, and berserk has some beautiful imagery that the anime couldn't capture as successfully.

> Have you ever done cosplay?
hmm, in 5th grade i dressed up in a love live schoolgirl outfit for halloween. those who still remember that day tease me for it. i want to cosplay but it's a lot of money and time i don't have

> What’s your favorite genre of anime?
i dunno, all i can say is that i really don't like harem anime and anime shows that exist solely for fan service.

> Do you watch dubbed or subbed?
subbed, unless it sounds good dubbed which most of the time it doesn't. or if the voices sound annoying in japanese. i watched hostclub dubbed, and i switched constantly with rurouni kenshin idk why.

> What are some good recommendations for those just starting out?
best to start with the popular studio ghibli movies if you're afraid of how extreme anime can be. if you want to go all in, i suggest gurren lagann for action, saiki k for comedy, my little monster for romance, k-on for slice of life, and madoka magica if you want to cry.
steer away from popular anime shows with big fanbases unless you want to submerge yourself into the fandom then look back at yourself after 10 years and cringe. (ex, HETALIA AVOId HeTALIA)

[skinklegs]

I guess I'll go here lol.

> What got you into watching anime?
My visceral need to figure out what the cool-looking dog cartoon I found one day was.

> How long have you been watching anime?
About 13 years? Longer if you count Ghibli movies but I personally don't.

> What are some of your favorite anime?
Ginga series is very near and dear to me, especially GNG. I wouldn't call it good but it's definitely...something. I also love Soul Eater a lot.

> Do you also read manga?
Sometimes. It's hard for me to sit down and focus on it.

> Have you ever done cosplay?
Lord no.

> What’s your favorite genre of anime?
Shounen, apparently.

> Do you watch dubbed or subbed?
Depends? I normally prefer subbed, but there are some dubs that don't offend me. FMA and Death Note are some dubs I've watched and enjoyed.

> What are some good recommendations for those just starting out?
Honestly I think Death Note is a good one. It's not too over the top and just kinda plays out like a film noir with a supernatural spin. It's also animated really nicely and doesn't have really garish character designs or anything. The characters just look like people. It's pretty easily digestible for someone who's not familiar w/ anime.

Or if you wanna just dive right in, Madoka is a classic. It's bite-sized at only 12 episodes, is well-written, and hits on a lot of tropes that you'll find in other series.

> Do you also read Manga? I've read some haikyuu!! and own a couple promised neverland ones
> Have you ever done cosplay? I did a crappy Kiki's Delivery Service cosplay one year for halloween but that was more a costume than a cosplay
> What’s your favorite genre of anime? Slice of life
> Do you watch dubbed or subbed? Almost always subbed
> What are some good recommendations for those just starting out? Well haikyuu!! worked for me but Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood is also just. The best anime of all time. So that's another one.
