Oh jeez, I was the complete opposite. I was fascinated! Mind you I was used to anime being all sugary sweet like Sailor Moon and Pokemon. After I watched Mononoke, I really got into anime - I watched Akira about a year later, and Perfect Blue ... Ghost in the Shell and Kaidohmaru I remember watching when was pretty young, too ... looking back on it, all I can think is "man, those movies were totally inappropriate for my age level."
Especially Perfect Blue. I don't know what I was thinking.
