Funny, with me, it was cars first, then anime. Well, with the anime fandom, it didn't quite kick in until I went beyond Dragonball Z. Oh boy, I've been through different stages of fandom.
-Casual watcher
-Newbie
-Obsessed-newbie
-Otaku Elitist (declared hatred towards DBZ and Sailor Moon as well as anything dubbed in English, it's kinda like saying I hate Hondas because they're everywhere)
-Otaku (matured more as a fan, became more open minded, but still obsessed, attended conventions)
-...and now I'm just an "anime fan" since I didn't quite have the time and energy devoted to the hobby in the past year.
