I was just thinking about what got me into different things like anime/ games/ comics etc and thought it would be fun to see what brought others into the fold. For me it was
Anime: Princess Mononoke, saw it when I was 10? And it completely floored me with the art style, story, and lore. Still my favorite anime movie to this day.
Video games: Sega Genesis/ sonic the hedgehog and altered beast with my older brother were great times when I was little and got me into gaming.
Comics: Spider-Man and X-men on fox kids in the 90s and Spawn in 97. My first official comic/ graphic novel was Wolverine: Origin
Anime: Kiki's Delivery Service was my first introduction to anime proper. But Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood was the one that really hooked me in and never let me go again.
Video games: Super Mario Brothers on the Gameboy Color. Still remember that Christmas fondly.
I think the game boy color was a massive game changer for mobile gaming at the time, less bulky and great games
