I am a quite new furry (= been in denial for 15 years). My awakening was Kalypso from Donkey Kong Barrel Blast (hope scalies count!), but the seeds were planted in my favorite furry IP, the ever legendary Star Fox! Lylat Wars is one of my favorite games of all time, and I really like all the crew! (And Krystal too, although she came later!) What about you?
I think those made me furry. Oh, and Disney's Robin Hood, of course.
Robin Hood while young, Krystal while teenager for me! Good choices, all in all! I did read InuYasha, too, but I don't unfortunately remember too much of it nowadays... It was always the semi-sequel to Ranma for me!
