It's exactly what it says on the tin. Anime, manga, and other forms of Asian entertainment like them.

What was your first anime? When did you started to watch it? How did you become aware of its existence?

Was it the anime that made you an anime fan? (If you consider yourself as such)

How does it rank for you? Would you say you still like it? Would you consider it one of you favourite anime series?

Saturday morning cartoons: DragonBall Z, Gundam Wing Endless Waltz. Friend then introduced me to Pokémon. But I just watched these casually.

A few years later, high school friends got me to watch Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Ranma 1/2, Great Teacher Onizuka, Azumanga Daioh, Love Hina, and several Studio Ghibli movies. I'm sure there are more that I'm forgetting, but high school was when it started for me. Action, drama, comedy, romance, slice of life, everything.

GTO is still one of my all time favorites. I've rewatched it a few times, read the manga, and watched the live action remakes. This class is known for getting teachers to quit, but Onizuka sensei is a former gang member that has a totally different perspective on life. Because of his background, he has a very different approach to teaching and relating to his students.

There have been a lot of good anime with great stories, animation, comedy, etc. GTO isn't the best anime ever, but I connected with it on a deeper level, so it holds a special place.
