My drug

When I was 12, I was going through my personal great depression.

My escape was... anime.

At the time, my brothers and I were into Pokemon, so I started watching the Tv Show.

In the begging I did not know that Pokemon was called anime.

One day I was watching Pokemon on YouTube (I think I was around episode 258), and I saw in the suggestion videos, something called Sailor Moon. 

I clicked it, and It said, "Sailor Moon episode 1".

I got hooked. I watched all 200 episodes. I found my new passion.

Watching anime.

At first, I only watched the anime genre called 'magical girl", and big eyed, romance series.

Tokyo Mew Mew power, Mermaid Melody, Maid-sama, Special A, Ouran highschool Host club, Toradora, SHugo Chara, stuff like that.

I liked watching stuff I lacked, like romance.

I then started watching shows like fairy Tail, Bleach, Naruto, and less cheesy romances like Skip Beat, Glass mask, La Cordo D'Oro, Hanasaku iroha,Vampire Knight, Vampire Knight Guilty, Boys Over Flowers, Marmalade Boy, Angel Beats and MUUUCCCHHHH more.

I started watching anime which was a bit more mature, tragic and dramatic like, blue Exorcist, Hakuki Reimeiroku, Escaflown, Death Note.

Also comedic, Lucky Star, Gintima, Beelzebub, Sket-dance.

I've also seen some weird anime. on accident of course.

These days I've watched, Higurashi, my little Monster, Say I love You, Recorder and Ramsel, Inu x Boku, and blood +.

Through anime I discovered Korean dramas, and don't get me started with that.

Its been only two years and I've watched over 100 different anime series, completed at least 60 of them.

I tell you, its a drug for me.

Finally after about 2 years, I have some friends to talk about anime. In the beginning, anime was my secret retreat that no one knew about. I would only watch anime on my iPod touch, and on the computer when I was alone, or watch it secretly on the computer at night, and would read the subtitles while it was on mute.

Not to long ago, my brothers got into anime.

Oops.

Thats when I really became a nerd... or geek? No an otaku.Don't know.
