What is the 1st anime you watched that turned you into an Otaku??

The anime that turned me into an otaku would have to be Blood+. It wasn't the first anime I watched but it got me hooked.

Sup guys! Name is Joey, and as of right now I'm 23 years old (^__^) I actually watched anime since the beginning of Toonami on cartoon network, remember always watching it as ritual for every Saturday night, with Gundam, Tenchi Muyo, Dragonball, etc lol! But back then I never knew anime was "anime", thought it was better quality cartoons. It wasn't until high school, my best friend introduced me to the world of anime back in 2009 with free streaming sites, and recommended me to watch Code Geass and Full Metal Panic to get back into it. I was instantly hooked till now.

Bobo-bo-bobo Never knew that a majority of the shows I saw were anime until my teens

Probably either Pokémon or Gundam Wing. I didn't even know that it was anime at that point. In that regard, both digimon and dragonball Z were airing as well. Ah, the sweet childhood memories were I was addicted to cartoons.
