In 2002 (so grade 10?) a guy I knew at school introduced me to Rayearth. However, that aside, I saw almost no anime until 2005, when I entered university.

That's when I really got into anime: I initially joined a "geek" club with the intention of finding a D&D group. I ended up attending an anime screening they did featuring fansubbed episodes of Moon Phase, and it all snowballed from there. So five years, although it took me until around spring 2007 to really become familiar with the fansub scene. I'm still not completely sure how I picked up all the knowledge I needed. I think there's also lots of life left in the hobby for me, although these days I'm trying to find more time for my other hobbies as well.

Ironically, I never did find a D&D group, more due to schedule issues and lack of time than lack of other players.
