Those Nostalgic Times

Sometimes thinking about anime makes me really depressed and kind of nostalgic. Don't get me wrong, anime can be hilarious and is totally awesome. I guess that today I'm just thinking about the past and the first time I was introduced to anime and manga, and that makes me feel old. How have I already become one of those people that is like "Back in the day..."? Anyway, back in the day...my brother was reading this one manga called .hack, so I became a little bit interested in it and read some of that series with him. But after that I wasn't really interested in anime/manga till a couple years later, when my brother began reading Hikaru No Go. And then came Bleach and other manga and anime...and fast forward a bit more and you get to now! So really it's all my brother's fault.
Anyway, first time introduced to anime/manga? Care to share?
