I had satellite TV as a child and I watched all that I could that was available.
DBZ
Trigun
YYH
Case Closed
Cowboy Bebop
Crest of the Stars
Read or Die
G Gundam
Gundam Wing
Sailor Moon
Silent Mobius
and some others that I no doubt left out.

Then I got a high speed internet connection in late 2005.

I streamed a bunch of stuff, can't really remember that period clearly. Among some of the stuff I watched was Blood+, the Patlabor OVA, and my first subbed anime was Di Gi Charat.

Evangelion was the first thing I downloaded after learning about torrents. It took days but it was worth it. Then in about 2010 or so I started to watch currently airing stuff. My backlog is dauntingly huge. 

Like fifteen years and a few hard drives later, I'm here.

I started learning Japanese this summer and decided to watch anime to help me. I had been meaning to watch a few series but never found an excuse to do so.

As a kid I watched the regular stuff, but after grade school the only anime I watched were death note, ttgl and psycho pass

Basically I am new to anime

[Hiro]

there was toonami when i was a kid but i didnt really get super into anime/manga/VNs until after high school during a time when i had no friends. now its stuck with me

[Futaba]

Started watching inuyasha.

thennnn i don't know i kind of decided i liked it

My first was Sailor Moon, on TV as a little kid. But it wasn't until me early teens that I really got into the hobby proper. 

I got introduced to the Dragonball manga by a friend when I was 12. That lead to me watching some DBZ when I got good internet (it never aired here).

Around the same time I discovered Ragnarok Online and through that was exposed to the anime community (it was very much a weeb game). Curious and hungry for more after DB and DBZ, I watched entry level things of the time like Chrono Crusade, D.N Angel, Matentai Loki Ragnarok, etc. I got into Naruto too through a friend in middle school.

The anime had just started airing and I think there were like 8 episodes subbed out. I already knew about the manga, and since I couldn't find many episodes to download reliably through the P2P I was using, that got me into reading scanlations. Always having been a fan of comics and books, I got into that big time, especially when e-readers like OneManga popped up. Anime was doomed to taking a backseat from then on.

Even today, I don't really watch much.

I watched Sailor Moon, Cardcaptors, Inyusha and Dragon Ball as a kid on YTV, and I went through a weeaboo phase later in elementary school due to some of my friends being into anime

I stopped watching anime in 2007 or something but got back into it a few years ago!

[Royalkitten]

Toonami. Then in 2009 I saw End of Evangelion and I was forever changed.

[bubblecat]

family member owned an anime shop as a kid that had all kinds of import stuff. I was buying gundam models, import toys, and vhs tapes of stuff that wasn't even released here yet as an elementary schooler because they looked cool and I got discounts

[Ming]

Wow Bubblecat, that's pretty amazing! 

[bubblecat]

it was cool and got me into a lot of stuff and it was a really popular place with MTG and pokemon tournaments every weekend, but they closed because my aunt and uncle who owned it together got into a fight and got divorced, rip

[Tsukikage Yuri]

Watched Sailor Moon, Cardcaptors, DBZ and Digimon as a kid. Never turned back.

[Ming]

Oh. Right.

I watched Digimon and Pokemon as well.

[Pleinair]

Aside from the regular Pokemon, Digimon, and Yugioh everyone was into, my first anime was Sailor Moon. In the short time I had cable I was just fascinated with how girly it was. It came on right before Dragon Ball, so I just told my parents that I was just killing time before Dragon Ball came on. I went a long time before actively watching anime, I saw Bleach, Inuyasha, Fullmetal Alchemist and FLCL on Cartoon Network. Fooly Cooly really impacted me, the visuals and the music were just what I needed to see at that time in my life. I started downloading some dubs, Fruits Basket and Haruhi were some of them I don't remember the rest. I think Lucky Star was my first  fansub.

[Ming]

I started downloading some dubs

 

[Hiro]

its better than streaming dubs
