I've been an avid anime viewer literally since birth and have watched it casually for years, but unfortunately didn't keep track. When I created my MAL account in middle school, I never used it past that day, so with a remembrance of my account password I decided to watch more anime than ever.

My discovery of "real" anime (because some of y'all say Pokémon doesn't count) was through YouTube and old flash games. The flash games came first, playing on Y8.com since I was about 4, they often had games from different countries, so I played Mermaid Melody games. Then, YouTube's old algorithm would send me off into the deepest depths of their content where I actually ran into Mermaid Melody, Hatsune Miku, Dragon Ball, etc. This caused little 9 year old me to be exposed to some slightly inappropriate stuff, but it was for the best. Needless+ and Tenshi no Drop were definitely not for my demographic.

This was also around the rise of Netflix, who still offers many of the titles they did way back then. I showed my disturbing treasures to my older sister (by 2 years), and it sent her into a frenzy. She was the anime child while I was still the Barbie girl. I was incredibly angry. Anyway, my sister used Netflix to actually watch some of the greats like Black Butler, Soul Eater, Angel Beats, etc. This is all because I showed her Needless+ and she found the real Needless on Netflix. She took my place as weeb child and even went through all the "bad" phases of a weeb. Glad I missed that part. Anyway, I'm back with a vengeance now, my sister doesn't watch anime anymore, and I have serious issues.
