Before that fated day in 2014, I hated all kinds of anime and manga. Honestly, I didn't have much of a reason to hate it aside from I played an online game called Team Fortress 2 and other people bashed on it, so I jumped on the bandwagon.
Then, my brother shows me a funny anime GIF. It's this one, to be precise. http://i.imgur.com/atBdjOJ.gif
I thought it was funny. He went and downloaded that anime, Seitokai Yakuindomo.
He watched it, and he got me to watch it. Ever since then, life wasn't the same. I watched nothing but Seitokai Yakuindomo for 2 months, I would just rewatch it and start over again. Eventually, I started watching other animes, and it all snowballed from there.
