well, i knew DC when my bf had me watched the 12 movies. i got curious with the new characters and searched episodes on the internet. then, i saw OVAs (which i am unfamiliar with) i downloaded them and got more & more curious so then.
im just a huge haibara fan/ semi has crush/in love with her XD
i first found conan like at 1 AM on adult swim, and I watched the episode, and i was like "what the hell is this show?! a kid detective? its pretty good" then I never watched it again...
then my friend shows it to me this year, and I got hooked (im a very nostalgic person, plus I dont usually watch anime so me getting hooked on an anime was extremely surprising to all my friends)
When I was still very young (around 7 maybe? ), I watched all kinds of animes from Digimon to Yu-Gi-Oh!
And I always read the newspaper part with the tv program to check for new series. It was the first episode of DC and I loved it I started watching it regulary and when RTL II (in Germany) stopped broadcasting DC I started to buy all the mangas. Now I have them all and am a DC expert with DC being my most favourite manga
I'm actually glad if there are less females, 'cause nearly everything I like (TV/manga series, movies, books, hobbies, games, sports, jobs etc etc) are dominated by males, and if I like something more "girly" it's kinda like a defeat for me. Can't really explain why XD
But I voted =)
