But don't you have this awesome opening here? :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZ1NcxAZUYk *cringes*

Also, my first contact with LNs must have been Haruhi on B-T because of the anime, while my first actual LN purchase consisted of the Hantsuki-series and IIRC Haruhi 9. I hardly read any Manga at all, so nothing to say there.

Finding animes and emission was hard 8 years ago. It's maybe since 2-3 year that it became easy...

Doraemon dubbed into my native language during my early years. Stumbled upon Negima when I was 16 or so. Local Internet boom during 2006, watched anime via Youtube. I think Toradora was my first exposure to the existence called LNs (there was Mamoru-kun something something series, but didn't care). Further dwelling after I finished school and entered college, blah blah blah and here I am now... maybe?

Not me. That's what my kids watched. When I was a kid we had "Speed Racer", "Kimba the White Lion" and "Astro Boy".

I came into contact with Manga because my best friend lent me a copy of Love Hina when I was 13(I think). I just got into LN's because I learned that SAO's anime was adapted from a LN and I was like what the hell I'll see if people have it translated it. I googled "Sword Art Online Light Novel Translations" and I found it here.

Watched anime in TV (you know what they are) when I was small...

Got my first LNs (Haurhi 1-3) from a second-hand exchange in a computer forum about 3/2 years ago...

Digimon yes. Pokemon... err... my experience of it got ruined by some Anti-Jew fanatics saying that every Pokemon's name is a Jew propaganda or something. It was bad enough it leaves a sour taste when I want to watch.
