How I got started with Anime... This is kinda long, so feel free to skip.
I was bored one night, so I decided I would give Anime ago, as some of my friends were into it, though I never saw an appeal myself.
I scrambled my brain trying to think of the name of some that I may have heard mentioned a few times, to give a try (none of my friends were online at the time to ask). The one I came up with was Bleach.
Once I completed it, a month or so later (or at-least to where English dubs currently were), I asked a friend for a few suggestions for what to watch, as I still wasn't sure whether Anime was for me, even though I did and still do enjoy Bleach. He recommended One Piece. Which I tried, but was very quickly put off. However on the site he recommended, it had a short list of recently added series. Kokoro Connect was on there, which at a whim, I decided to watch.
I quickly watched and completed Kokoro Connect (except Michi Random, which wasn't English dubbed yet). I really enjoyed it, even though obviously, it's extremely different to Bleach, but it was so short, I wanted to give a similar Anime ago. I went on Kokoro Connect's page, and click 'Slice of Life' tag, and opened and read the description's of a few that were listed. I chose the one that sound most appealing. This happened to be Clannad.
I ended up watching both Clannad, and Clannad: After Story very quickly, as I enjoyed it so much, I watch them in one sitting. The After Story literally had me in tears for the final third. I didn't particularly like the happy ending at the very end, but still, I f***ing love the Anime. It was the Anime that finally settled me onto watching more, allot more.
About a week later, bored on Steam, looking at my friends list. I saw on one friend's profile, a link to his MAL, so was curious as to what it was, and checked it out, about 15mins later and I was signed up on here myself.
Why do I only watch English dubs?
Well, I don't speak Japanese, unfortunately, and also I have Dyslexia, and thus, read very slowly. I would literally need to pause the Anime every time someone spoke to be able to read subtitles, and that would just take the piddle way to much, even for me.
Thank you for your understanding ! & the same goes for you too, even if my replies can be a tad delayed i’m more than happy to talk whenever i’m available !
