Some of us here were members of my old web site, The Anime Crisis Center, so I'm sure there's quite a few, but how many of you are fans of anime?

Yes... I've been into anime for a good 10 years now. It's definitely been a fun ride too.

No !

I tried watching a couple of pilot episodes of the most popular anime shows, but I just never got hooked. :/

You mean you've only seen the boring story set-up and character intro episodes?

Most series don't get good until 4 or more episodes in. Anime stories almost always start off really slow and boring.

I started watching anime a little while before joining here, and I've only watched more now that I've been here, but I do enjoy most of what I watch.

mmm, how should I answer, I do like some anime shows, but I disregard most them, so I can't think myself as a fan.

Lynk I think if he watched One Piece already not caring for anime it'd turn him away from it for good. >_>

Yep. I dunno maybe I'm just weird, but shouldn't pilot episodes generate interest and not be really slow and boring?

Actually it's incorrect to really call them pilot episodes for animes since most animes come about from their original manga forms... Most animes stick to what the manga has already laid out so this tends to make most first episodes not as spectacular as they could be for some animes.

So yeah, general rule is that you have to watch a few of the starting episodes of the anime to actually get a good gauge of it, not just the very first.
