What anime?

[jinksys]

Which anime, if any, inspired you to learn japanese?
I love 犬夜叉 and cowboy bebop, but how about you!?

[Riley]

I've seen too much anime so I can't really say which one inspired me the most...but I just love cowboy bebop and also ghost in the shell and vampire hunter D

[Daisuke]

FLCL!!

[Tamai]

It was Card Captor Sakura, just because it took me about 5 or 6 episodes to notice that everything was in japanese (i was used to watch the brazilian dub, and the voices were very similar to the original). But I just get serious after Love Hina, the manga, that had many things in japanese to read.

I lov Cowboy Bebop and.. Ghost in the Shell. But FMA rocks too. The one that really got me to was Rorouni though, for some strange reason.

The first anime I ever watched was "Saint Seiya". I was very young at that time. After I remember I've watched "Saylor Moon"; "Yu Yu Hakusho"; "Rurouni Kenshin" which I love till nowadays for its perfect strokes; and most recently "Tenchi Muyo" (my fave character is Ryoko); And "Inu Yasha" that is a great view of japanese tradictions and myths.

I guess all of them helped me getting interested in japanese culture and language, even I've watched all of them in portuguese.

cowboy bebop, naruto, serial experiments lain, hellsing, FLCL... those are my favorite.

[Sunny Pig]

The first anime I have ever watched, which is also one which spurred on my liking for the Japanese language and culture, is 魔神英雄伝ワタル (Mashin Eiyuuden Wataru).

Evangelion! Made me think so much about Christianity till I reached enlightenment! ^_~

[Naruto721]

Thats a tough one, so many animes that i've watched. I would say my first imported set, Naruto! Since it's in japanese, i've picked up phrases and words from it. And this inspired me to learn japanese!

[ichigoTIMU]

for me, it was j-pop artist ayumi hamasaki

Well, the first anime I have ever, ever watched was Sailor Moon. (When I was 3 or 4) I watched it in Cantonese. I really did like it. That's when I started liking anime, but I really didn't know where it came from. ... After some years of pondering I realized it was Japanese. ^_^;;

Well, then I got more interested in anime so I kept watching dubbed versions of it. (CCS, Yu Gi Oh, etc...) Then I got to know a wider variety of anime, and I wanted to watch them... in their original language.

The first anime I watched in Japanese was Chobits I think. I was so excited! The second was X/1999... and so on... I think that was what inspired me to learn Japanese, and I love it! ~~ ^_^

[SailorPuu]

i don't know which one really inspired me. My first was Sailor Moon, the first time i saw it i was watching 'Promise of the Rose' in english (gag me, i hate english now, only watch Japansese if its available) but there's so many more i love, i don't know which inspired me.
