I can't remember what my first Anime series was. It was like DB or DBZ. As a child I watched Anime on and off, never really keeping up with any particular series regularly except for around 6th grade when the Pokemon craze started...
I guess you could say my first "moe" experience was with Misty from Pokemon, which amuses me to this day because Tsundere characters are still my favorite. Anyways, after I got over the Pokemon phase I really didn't watch Anime much at all, except occasionally I would watch Gundam Wing and that Anime with the ditzy Galaxy patrol chick.
It wasn't until senior year of HS that a friend from my Warcraft III Clan gave me a link to a site with DDLs to fansubbed Naruto. I watched like the first season on and off and didn't really get into it at first because college applications and all that jazz kept me preoccupied. However, after starting my freshman year of college I started watching it again and I got hooked. I made it up to like episode 168 and started feeling the fillers, so that's about the time I started appearing on IRC and engrossing myself in the Anime community.... consuming series after series... I also attribute my insane consumption of Anime to my posse... yeah I have a posse - they're a bunch of Anime otaku at my Uni lawl.
