Personally, I wasn’t much of an anime fan until 3 years ago, which was when I first watched A Certain Magical Index, which to my own surprise got the top spot in Charapedia’s ranking. For me, the A Certain series was the anime which triggered me to become the anime fan I am today, and from the results, many others as well. The series not only made characters like Touma, Mikoto, Index, and Accelerator household names in Japan, but it also made light novels a whole lot more popular, with the A Certain series being one of the longest running series out there.


Another light novel anime gets the spot just under A Certain series, and it is Sword Art Online which converted many people in Japan into otakus after it first aired.


Third ranked K-On! meanwhile was attributed by many to have revolutionized moe anime and was responsible for making a lot of people into anime enthusiasts back in the late 2000′s. #4 ranked Gintama’s comedic tendencies have certainly given anime a wider range of audiences while #5 ranked Evangelion was responsible for revolutionizing the mecha genre.


Now, which anime triggered your anime addiction?
