Guess I'll expand a bit myself.

DBZ

This was the gateway Anime for me. I remember seeing pieces of it as a kid in Japan. It was only later that I was officially introduced to it by my cousin years later in middle school. What can I say? I loved the action, the design of the characters, and the overall feel. DBZ actually inspired me to draw and even create my own stories which is a path that eventually led me here. It's a show I hold dear to my heart and one I still grant the title of number 1. If I'm not mistaken, the show has inspired many of other shows these days. Most people, even if they've never seen it, recognize the iconic image of its lead character, Goku.

Naruto

This was a show I came across in Shonen Jump. For the Naruto fans, I started in the first appearance of Zabuza. I was immediately pulled-in from that chapter: ninjas, large swords, ninjutsu that bended elements in cool ways, and top if off, a massive universe of characters and lore that made crave more. I followed Naruto from that chapter (obviously going back to read the beginning) from 8th grade at the time all the way to its end in 2014. This show had heart, loss, and well-fleshed out characters. The only drawback was the Anime's annoying urge to milk that cow dry with fillers. Yet, it was worth it in the end to see characters adapted into animation. It's hard to come across a show where you can say every fight was amazing in its own right. I find myself re-watching those fights here-and-there.

The Walking Dead

Prior to the show airing, I knew nothing of the comics. I still remember seeing the promo for season one with my sister, and we were like, "that looks interesting." We were already heavy zombie fans with movies like, 's Dead collection and with games like Resident Evil. TWD gave us another layer to this genre adding more character development than I've seen for it. We got to see characters evolve, some for the better, others not-so-much. We got to see consequences to tough actions. And how can we forget the idea of losing characters we grew to love at any moment. I've always loved to imagine how I would fare in the movies or TV shows and TWD did that for me ten-fold (I think I would've died either at the end season two or three lol).
