I watched Sailor Moon pretty much since I could sit in front of the TV..then Pokemon, and then Studio Ghibli when I was 6 or 7, but it wasn't until I was 11 and my friend introduced me to Naruto that I got what 'anime' really was. :P
3 months old, Bambi was the first one (my ma told me)... as a kid (@ 6), i got hooked on J anime when I first saw My Neighbor Totoro on VHS by Fox... i've been hooked ever since. (now 21)
