Gateway Anime
What was your gateway anime or manga? (I.e., what anime or manga made you a fan?)
|
Please select form the list below, or add a new title. In the case of a franchise that has many incarnations, please name just the franchise (eg: Sailor Moon, not Sailor Moon R) and do not differentiate between manga or anime.
Please note, this is not necessarily the first anime or manga title you were exposed to. For example, if the first title you were exposed to did not lead you to seek out similar titles, it was not your gateway.
