By which I mean, which anime did you watch that made you decide to give other animes a shot? It wouldn't necessarily be your first anime, as often times we just like a show for what it is.

For me, my line-crosser would be Cowboy Bebop. After watching the series, I decided to give other animes with that kind of style a shot. This led me to watch Outlaw Star, and Trigun, and Big O, and pretty soon I was officially hooked.
