I wasn't into anime either for the longest time. Pokemon probably was the only anime I knew before. I think it was about three years ago I began watching more serious stuff. Tokyo Ghoul is a great place to start :)
wants chips now
Then again my latest favorite is mochi ice cream! So delicious!
Oh I forgot about Pokémon. I loved Pokémon. The show and the game for Gameboy color. I don't know what mochi is tbh. I'll have to look that up.
