Kanon (2002). My parents could finally afford a cheap computer and basic internet when I was 14 and up until then we had nothing. I remember sifting through YouTube videos about this "Pokemon" show everyone was going crazy about but my eye caught a Kanon video instead.
Opened it up, and from that point on, I don't remember anything other than pure spectacle and wonderment. Western television was so boring to me when my friends and I watched stuff at their places, so seeing all the colours, dynamic voice acting and cutesy characters I was hooked. To this day, I still prefer the 2002 version over the 2006 KyoAni version, and I think I'm one of the only ones who does.
