I started watching anime last year. I had tried it previously, but originally struggled with reading dub and listening to sub. I don't think I gave it enough of a shot, and after I pushed through the first few episodes of an anime, reading dub became second nature.
I never realized how good the stories were before, or the obsession with it. There is so much more depth to a lot of animes compared to the animated shows that I'd watched as a kid. Even the adult animated shows I was used to were just comedies.
Anime has so much more to offer, with real character depth and original storytelling. Even though I'm still new to this world compared to many, I'm excited to watch more and understand the inside references and lore.
In a way, I'm grateful to have gotten into it so much later than others. It came to me at the right time in my life, and I'm lucky to be able to experience some of the great animes for the first time.
