The first anime I watched was Fushigi Yuugi in English dub. I so loved this anime that I even act out some of the characters and chant the spell. :D Anyway, since then I continued watching tons of anime series. I used to say to my self that I will become a scientist one day and invent a virtual world where I can be a character, just like in SAO. haha! Anime just makes you want to live in that world sometimes.
