While I had years where I watched more (specially younger) I started more or less on 2003-2005 (I'm 31)

Having said that, I'm more into manga than into anime, I had the exact same anime favourites list from like, 2017? The last I added was Penguindrum I think
Callmejuicetin 2y
Ignoring the bio, if I were to just make a guess based on your favs, I'd say maybe 3-5 years? Also oh my god Liz AND G-Witch in favs? Glad we agree!!!
- sorarara 2y
  liz and the blue bird and g-witch invented gay people (real)
  i watched liz and cried 6 times in a row (also because the music score was just so fucking well done) and for g-witch i just HAD to introduce my bro to it and make him cry to it too LOL
  Callmejuicetin 2y
  Absolutely profound experiences both of them. I also tear up a bit during specific parts or thinking about both so im with you there!
  
  Im glad your brother liked G-With too (I think)!!
  kafka2137 2y
  "weeb for 10+ years"
  
  i bet they are watching anime at least for 10 years
  sorarara 2y
  i left it as 10+ because it was easier to put it that way especially since the year is ending soon
  i've been watching anime since i was 7 and i'm nearly 18 now if that means anything lol
SailorDoom 1mo
Yeah, more or less. I was watching anime long before that, but around 2008 is where I started to realize what anime was. You're good at this, cheers!
Komorebi 11mo
Thank you so much I love it here!
jiruberu 1mo
Actually even earlier - around 2013. But it's not that far off ig, I barely watched anything between like 2018-2023.
Yeah, I've been adding few stuff i remembered and some I had saved on other sites (+ reuploading some entries since anilist didn't let me delete ratings for some reason)
KrenZane 1y
around those times yeah
Kythro 1y
So..., how does this thread continue from here now that we've looped?
Beazt 2y
@Callmejuicetin

3 years, and nice anime favorites
NepNep 2y
@Beazt 5-ish years (?)
- Beazt 2y
  8-ish, been on and off though
Callmejuicetin 2y
I got into watching anime in like 2017 so honestly you're not too far off!
- Beazt 2y
  Ok, nice
  
  Also, its easier to reply to the comment I made, the blue thing by the heart.
  And in forum games we usually @ the person we are referring to.
  Callmejuicetin 2y
  Yeah, I messed up and thought I replied to you, just realized I messed up LOL
greywitch 2y
@NepNep, somewhere between 5-8 years ago.
- NepNep 2y
  Not too far off the mark... kinda ? been watching for around maybe 13-ish or more years ?
PoofessorP 2y
@greywitch I bet you watched the old anime on your favorites when you were younger/as a kid so you were a fan since the late 90's is my guess
- greywitch 2y
  Pretty close. Mid-90s. Started with Sailor Moon when it first aired in the states in 95.
BlekDimon 2y
@PoofessorP
Maybe like a year.
- PoofessorP 2y
  yeah my stuff is pretty reflective of a year, I started with my hero academia back in September of 2018 though
meatloaf1 2y
@BlekDimon
5-ish years maybe?
- BlekDimon 2y
  Very close, I started watching anime 4.5 years ago.
cureV 2y
@OnuOskar

judging from fav anime only, something like ~8 years.
- meatloaf1 2y
  Actually only a little less than 2 years
  AnotherUser372 2y
  how did you even find adachi to shimamura, i only saw that cuz i was watching through most of 2020 seasonal. i feel like its such a nice but nieche show
  meatloaf1 2y
  I was looking for yuri anime to watch, so I searched under the yuri tag on AniList and found it. It's now one of my favorites, and I'm currently reading the light novels
vesuvianthree0 2y
@sidaquil around 3 years
Alians 2y
@vesuvianthree0

I'd say since like 2017-2018 by favourites. 2010-2011 by completed count
- Rinko 2y
  Ah, sorry I skipped you one moment...
  15 years...? I really have no clue...~
  Alians 2y
  11 years this summer so close enough
- vesuvianthree0 2y
  correct. started watching in 2018.
  AnotherUser372 2y
  bro beyond a thousand shows in 5 years?? how? when? why???
  vesuvianthree0 2y
  Mostly because of Covid. In 2020 my college final exams were cancelled so I had like 7 months off before I started university.
Rinko 2y
@sidaquil
Sailor Moon and Magic Knight Rayearth, two shows that came out in the exact same year of the same genre... yeah I'd guess since either the mid or late 90's...?

@vesuvianthree0
...15 years?

–––
To the next person, please look at my full favourites list~

  ...Anything more precise?
  
  Though... I think it would be close to exactly five years ago, now, that I watched MHA. Since I caught up when s3 was finishing. But I wouldn't say I really got into anime until a couple years later...
  Removed 2y
  [Removed]
  Rinko 2y
  ...Yup that's about the time I'd say I probably got into anime.
  
  You are scarily accurate. May I inquire into your logic?
  Removed 2y
  [Removed]
  Rinko 2y
  
  with some Seasonals
  
  Off the top of my head... two shows from this year and... okay at least four from last year... no, at least five. Alright I see your point...~
  Though I don't actually follow seasonals, the vast majority of the time...~
  
  Edit: Seven from last year sheesh. The two I couldn't think of off the top of my head were, perhaps ironically, Bandori entries. Though they weren't proper TV shows so shrug
  
  I was thinking 2018 or 2020 since these seem to be the most popular years for new comers (Animes becoming mainstream and Covid).
  
  I see...
  
  Since you also have a very defined taste I supposed you don't probably watch that often or consistently
  
  I don't see how those are connected...~
  And I do actually watch anime pretty consistently.
  Just, I guess, the past two and a bit months, while I've been watching even more episodes per day than usual (3-5, even up to 8, instead of just 2) that has been on one particular, long show... and a couple rewatches before/at the end of that span...~

@Akira640

probably around 3 years ?
PoofessorP 2y
@luvxlvnee gonna guess 2016 here
Isfido113 2y
@PoofesorP I would say around 5 years in a consistent way. Have some good established taste too. :3
- cairngum 2y
  Maybe around 1.5 years?
  Isfido113 2y
  Been definitely longer, saw anime before but not in a constant way and like two years in a serious way and less than a month being in Anilist so that's why I'm so new. ,:3
  cairngum 2y
  Thought that was the case, you list looked like you've been trying to both keep up to date with new studpff but also catch up on stuff you missed after a hiatus. I decided to play it safe though ?
- PoofessorP 2y
  thanks! and you were spot on, I haven't been consistent at all though haha. I was really active in 2018 then didn't watch anything again till 2022 when i started one piece
nina 2y
@Isfido112
i'll say a year
- nina 2y
  i just realised @cairngum's reply sorry for skipping ill guess 3 years and you got into it during lockdown
  cairngum 2y
  Been a fan since I was a kid, was on MAL first then moved here lol
lakanakana 2y
@altomew having multiple kodomo shows in favorites comes from years of hard earned self-respect. I'd say like uhhh 15? Or your whole life
- nina 2y
  quite far off lol, two years in october, though i watched a lot of pokemon when i was a kid.
  lakanakana 2y
  w h a t
  nina 2y
  its probably because that i enjoyed cartoons even before i became an anime fan
  Alians 2y
  Excuse me what the fuck
  nina 2y
  is it really that suprising 😭
  lakanakana 2y
  this mf thinks cartoons and anime are two different things of course they're still at the beginner phase. But for some reason they just know to watch the good stuff
  nina 2y
  nono you're misunderstanding! i meant western cartoons :,) i didn't think japanese cartoons was that great because my only exposure to it before was through the internet making fun of anime (mostly due to the fans)
  Alians 2y
  What the hell is anime, I only watch toonies
YoungAnimeDoctor 2y
@lakanakana
I estimate about 8 years. Maybe a decade
- Squidibyte 2y
  @YoungAnimeDoctor
  11-12 years? :P based off the fact that i recognise most of the animes in your favorites, so i guessed we're probably around a similar age
  YoungAnimeDoctor 2y
  @Squidbyte
  That's exactly the right estimate. Good job. I started Naruto and Nura back in late 2011, but didn't watch other anime until late 2012
- lakanakana 2y
  my whole life! Sooo uuuhhh 23 years I guess? Can you even call a baby an anime fan??? Let's go with 20 then. So I guess that's close enough :D
  YoungAnimeDoctor 2y
  @lakanakana
  So over TWO decades then
soels 2y
@Squidlbyte I'd say like 2-3 years?
- Removed 2y

  soels 2y
  omg no way! I didn't see a lot of favorites so I just assumed you're newer, but that's awesome. what was your first anime?
  Removed 2y
  [Removed]
  soels 2y
  mine too! I bet we started watching around the same time haha that's crazy! & I get the feeling tbh I'm pretty picky with favs too
cairngum 2y
@soels I'd say 2 years but you've been getting recs from somebody who's watched a lot longer
- soels 2y
  actually been at it for around a decade, but I do get good recs!
coffeentacos 2y
@cairngum guessing somewhere between 10-15 years, though kinda hard to say!
- ve4k 2y
  @coffeentacos I'll guess 15 - 20 years, many old anime
Fermina 2y
@coffeentacos
imma say you've been around for a while, huh? and you obviously have preferred subgenres and stuff, ill say 7-8 years? and when i took a peek at your anilmelist, youve seen various kinds of stuff, so you had to dig your way through to what you like, so final guess: around a decade maybe?
- Weeble 2y
  i'd guess you've been watching about 2-3 years?
  Fermina 2y
  actually, its been exactly a decade this year :DD very much on and off tho
- coffeentacos 2y
  Started back in the 90s, fell off around 2010 and back in 4 years ago lol. Ultimately, not too far off
Weeble 2y
lemme see who's above me, i'll respond to them
Furas 2y
@Weeble I'm guessing since 2017
- Weeble 2y
  you got the exact year. what the actual fuck, did you know me irl or some shit?
mohave 2y
@Furas 2019
- Furas 2y
  @mohave Correct! My first contact with anime was in 2003 but I started binge-watching in 2019.
eltrafikante 2y
@mohave The 90s probably, I was so lost looking at your favourites xd
- mohave 2y
  Became an anime fan during the forced lockdowns of 2020
Khallil 2y
@mohave

Still hasn't seen Zoids. I'd say 18 years.
- mohave 2y
  Around 4 years or so
TAZofficiel 2y
@khallil hard to guess with only 3 character but i'll ho with 5 years
- Khallil 2y
  Only off by 18 years。。。
  TAZofficiel 2y
  whoa i gotta respect that
Loxem 2y
@AkinorX
Gonna go out on a limb and guess 11 years?
- TAZofficiel 2y
  tbh not too far off, i started in my early teens and now im in my mid 20's
