everybody got that one fucked up anime they had no business watching as a kid like its a right of passage. mine was elfen lied

mine was also elfen lied.

Evangelion and Akira…. the late night cable channels went crazy (they did scar me) HDJSHD

my first anime was angel beats. My brother showed it to me to get me into anime when i aas like 10. I liked the FL which was very fitting considering she looked my age (good job young me)

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, maybe Black Rock Shooter cuz it was super dark, Heaven’s Lost Property, uh… i think there were some more but yeah those are the ones that come to mind

Rosario vampire 😭🤚🏼

Sameee actually, I watched it in fifty billion parts on YouTube back in the day. When that was a thing XD

Silver fang was often placed in the kids section at VHS rental stores here (because talking animated animals = kids stuff) and that assumption affected a whole generation lmao

Higurashi babyyy

Heavens lost property/oreimo are the two that come to mind

Food Wars… I had watched it with my brother and neither of us knew the main character was capable of doing THAT with his food and my bro had to frantically skip those scenes every time it happened. It became a pretty decent competitive cooking show by doing that.
