I've started with Anime similarly to how she did in the video. There were some distinctively good shows on open tv at the time, which people would not even call anime.
Later in mid-school, some friends introduced me to One Piece, I was lent some CDs with packs of 30 episodes of One Piece in rmvb format, 320p. After getting a good taste I got addicted to it's distinct plot formulas.
I found Zatchbell, same way as her, and also Hunter x Hunter, both in which left a mark on my childhood. I only got my own PC and internet some years after that, in which I could watch more shows through piracy.
The stigma was there, definitely nerdy stuff, as they say. Anime never got mainstream, even after I've left my country. People watch it on open tv without even realizing it's anime.
