My first manga was Doraemon (ドラえもん), it was around 1990, I was 3 years old, I couldn't even read at that time, but I look at pictures and try to guess. But I was too young to know what that is, or where does it come from. In 1994, the local TV station started to air Sailor Moon. I watched it, because the girl was cute, the story was somewhat boring to me though, consider it's for teen girls, but the transformation gets my curious how girls look like behind the clothes ^^.
Eventually from 1995 onward, I read many Manga series: Conan, Dragon Balls, Teppei (ore wa Teppei), and some random Tsubasa soccer something (no idea) etc etc etc, those were the only series that licensed my country, they are interesting. I also watch more anime in addition, mostly from 1998 to 1999 (rented VHS tape): Mukamuka Paradise (ムカムカパラダイス), Super Pig (愛と勇気のピッグガール とんでぶーりん) for the same reason: the protagonist is girl, and is cute.
In 1998, there's a hit in my country, the real anime hit: Pokemon, it's quickly gain its popularity and became very famous, I can see Pokemon every where, pens, book cases, even on my school bag design.
In 2000, they introduced shoujo manga, which back then, well we (the boys) didn't know it was for girls. The art was weird, but somehow most of the girls in my class keep recommending the boys those manga series, we never could have understood what's so fun about those manga. Right now I do: they were for the girls, so that's why. During the time I started collecting cute wallpapers, many of which was from eroge, but I didn't know, they were non explicit too. I keep wondering why don't they make some hentai out of these cute girls :3 (later it turns out - they did hahaha)
In 2001, this is a big year for anime, Naruto and OnePiece started to replace Pokemon.
In 2003, Pokemon was completely replaced by Naruto and OnePiece, but I've never had any love for the two series, the Narutards fan irritated me so much that I hate anime in general, judging that they are just for kids and retarded. At the same year, I played my first eroge - Heart de roommate
In 2004, While looking for some hard-core hentai game for the first time in my life (youngster's curiosity), I was trolled by one of my friend, he gave me Heart de Roommate, I spent 8 hours of game play without actually have any ero scene. Though the story was interesting, thus I keep playing until very end (and get to Momo's ending, never know that I could have chosen other girls), concluding that this is a weird hentai game.
From 2004 to early 2007, I was in emo state due to being rejected so many times by the girl. I stopped reading manga altogether, this is a blackout period for me.
By middle 2007 My friend try to cheer me up by spamming me lots of hardcore hentai. I have never bother watching them seriously, but he gave me a part of the OVA Mizuiro, it was a completely different Hentai from what he gave me, so different that I have to dig a little deeper. There's my answer: it came from the eroge Mizuiro. I dig out more hentai anime that based on the eroge, among of them was Canvas.
Until the end of 2007,Thanks to Nursery Rhyme OP and Colorful Aquarium OP. I played a great deal of them in 2008, including Da Capo, the first epic title I've ever played, different from many title JAST licensed. This lead me to watching Da Capo II anime as I learn there's Da Capo II, and there's an anime based on it. After the first 30s of the Da Capo II anime, I instantly realized that this anime is different, this anime isn't anything like Naruto or OnePiece, this is the way anime should be.
In 2009, I collected a huge amount of eroge, and I know eXalpha's blog, eventually, I hang around and quickly gain popularity. From 2009, I watched more anime, play more eroge, I learned a great deal about the game and was completely addicted to.
Most of you guys and girls probably only know Speed Racer because of the movie they made in 2008. Not sure I got the year right on that. If you are old enough to remember it or have an interest in the basis of the movie check out the link below.
No actually no, I've never heard of it, but that's understandable because I'm around 1987 generation.
I agreed that having internet was nice - it connects people with the same interest together, and since they have the same goal, they collaborate much more effective and create amazing things~ I'm talking about the capper, fansub, distro, etc... I learnt so many thing from the internet, if not everything. I found that what school teach me was completely out of date, thus I've never put any real effort into schools much :p
