What got you started into watching fansubs?
PlasticYakuza:
I started watching VHS fansubs when I was around 5-6. My aunt use to go to comic/anime cons and buy them. While digging around for something to watch in her giant box of videos I came across a bunch of tapes with giant robots on the cover. After that my fate was sealed.
YaoiBoy:
Oh, you KNOW I had to post to this one! :D
I have been an anime fan since the late 70s, and I never even knew it! (StarBlazers, Voltron, G-Force - remember those?) Those US distributors did a very good job of hiding the fact that these shows were created in Japan by severely editing them. I came from a crowd that despised anything subtitled.
I didn't learn about fansubs until I wandered into a panel at Dragon-con called YAOI/YURI. The description stated gays/lesbians in anime. There was anime like this??? :o My curousity was peaked and I soaked it in. I left with a list of titles to search for. The only way I knew how to find files on the Internet in those days was WinMX and KaZaA. Subtitles, be damned. I was gonna watch these! :D
The first fansub I ever watched was Baka-MX's GRAVITATION. They were followed by D.N.Angel, Yami no Matsuei and every YAOI title you can name. I've been totally hooked ever since.
Peace!

OMG, wasn't BakaMX's Gravitation wondrous?? Turned me into a total fansub hero-worshipper. When I discovered that I'd encountered some of the staff in the L-E channel, I nearly fell over. I'm afraid I scared poor Teppei once with my obsessive fangirl-ish-ness.
....and yes, "fangirl-ish-ness" is a word. :P
suzaku_nomiko:
Well.
fresh out of high school here I discovered that there was a large Anime club at the university.
The first thing I ever saw was a sub of Tonari no Totoro.
And I started going every week.
This club had a huge tape library of which you could borrow and copy tapes.
that's what got me into it :P
Tatsuki:
lmao
there was this girl called Yuri in this ooold anime i watched called Dirty Pair.
i remember when they were in the elevator that kept adding on gravity and it was like:
Kei : aaah i hate this stupid thing, my breasts are getting squished
Yuri: What you talking about? I should be the one worrying, all you have is muscle
Kei: Why you...
XD
