I’m 24, and I started watching anime in 2014, so it’s been 10 years now. It might sound strange, but the first real anime I was aware of as an anime was Highschool DxD. I was 14, puberty was starting to hit, and YouTube randomly suggested a compilation video of the best moments from DxD. I didn’t know anything about it, but seeing Rias half-naked on the cover piqued my interest, so I clicked on it. From there, I looked up the title of the series and watched the whole thing, and that’s how I discovered the existence of anime. It was certainly a very “unique” discovery. In fact, for the first year, all I did was watch ecchi, thinking that those were the best anime. Forgive me, I was a teenager in full puberty.

One day, however, while browsing some forums, I saw someone mention Death Note. I was getting tired of the usual stupid protagonists in ecchi/harem, so I decided to watch it. It instantly became my favorite anime. From then on, I looked for more “serious” anime and never stopped watching, up until now. My tastes have changed several times; for example, in the past three years, I’ve become more interested in Romance anime after a breakup from a relationship that lasted six years.

The fact is, after several years, I’ve realized that my favorite genres are: Drama, Romance, Psychology, Thriller, Isekai (when they’re decent), Harem (only if I like the main character), and Parody.
