I remember.I was on this one website,and I saw this ad with girls with wings on them.I got curious,so I clicked on it.And it led to the first version of Winxclub.tv on what now is 4Kids.tv. I also checked Winxclub.com too.I thought it was awesome!!
How did YOU discover Winx?
I was spending the night at a friend's house, and for some reason, instead of sleeping on her floor like I normally did, I slept on the couch in her living room. It was really uncomfy, though, and I couldn't sleep at all. At about 7:00 or 8:00 AM, I was flipping channels and I think Cartoon Network was playing Winx. I had seen a commercial or two for it, so I watched it, but I was kind of confused because it was the second episode, but I thought it was the first. I didn't see anything about it for a few weeks, then CN started to play it in the afternoons after I came home from school, and that's when I really started watching it.
One morning while watching foxbox which is now 4kids.tv I saw something that said the magic's in you so I waited. Then it finally came on & I really liked it!:)
I actually heard it from my friend first, then I went to the website. All of that happened when I was young like eight. Then I started actually watching the episodes this year.
I didnt really know about it until I was Flipping through the channels one day
Same here, it was at a moment you only had American cartoons and Anime.... and of course those American cartoons that were trying to imitate Anime like 'Totally Spies' (Ugh, can't stand that show.), and I zapped towards Nickelodeon, and I was immediately captured by both the story and the drawing style.
I just was flipping through channels one morning and just so happened to come across a cartoon, so I started watching it.
It seems like most people found out about winx club by looking at channels.
my lil sis showed me it on cartoon network then i say it on neopets and got addicted lolx lolx
Yeah, and plus, we don't have that many channels, (like, 8 to 10 at the most) and in the morning its all news, so just coming across a cartoon at around 7 made me happy. ^_^
I usually only watch Disney channel, Cartoon network, Nick, and Mtv and sometimes Food network. So I came home and was really bored and just sat down and went flipping
I was watching another show on cartoon network, and I started watching winx!
my friend asked me "do you watch the winx club?"
I was like,"no,when does the show starts?"
then she told me,when I started watching it,I was immediately hooked on.
i saw advertisments and decided to check it out and got hooked! then i missed the second ep and nearly cried lol!!!!
to tell you the truth the show did not interest me when i saw the commercials but I got bored and decided to see whats on and I flipped through the channels but the remotes batteries died and I didnt have anymore batteries so I watched what was on (the batteries died when I got to the channel winx was on) and turned out i really liked it and thats how I found out about it and started watchig itlol
Well, I was really bored on the internet, then I logged into my old account on neopets, then There's this girl, she was also from the Philipines, and she loved winx, she kept talking about it as if was the only topic she can think of, so then I just joined her guild, and I started to love winx, then I kept watching it on Fox until season 3!
Well once i came from school and i put the tv to channel rtl2 because digimon was on and i had to see it.
I watched it but a bit later there came this show called winx club i watched one episode and i was like: Ok it's cool.
The next day i also watched it and i started watching it every day but when i heard it's on mtv3 the finnish channel i was like: It's not really cool so i'm not watching it, but one morning my dad had turned the tv to that channel and i watched i secretly between my pillow and blanket I got kinda hooked to it. My fav character was Icy and i got Icy as my first winx doll. Then Stella was my favorite winx girl but somewhere in November Musa became my favorite and i got a Musa doll and so on
i was ill and at home in my room. it was boring so i turnend on the tv
there came winx club i watched it the firts time and i was like: its kinda cool.. but maybe a bit childish.
i was ill the hole week so i watched it everyday. and after that week i was a fan of it^^
my fave character was stella right from the beginning. and i liked darcy a lot..
the first time i saw it, it was in danish 2 years ago. then i didn't see it until my cousin and i saw it together last year, on dvd.
Well at first I was really into 5566 the tawain boy band. Then I begin to pray if there is a girl band whom is almost like 5566. One day while I was watching kids central, I saw a commercial of winx club and I was like really wanted to watch it but missed every season 1 episodes as I am busy for my PSLE and forgotten about it. When I reached sec 1, I flipped through every channel as I am totally bored. Then accidentally, I flipped to kids central again and this time, they re-aired winx club season 1 again and begin to watched it. From that day onwards, I begin to like winx Club and got hooked on it....
I was actually on my break when I was working at mcDonald's so I was downstairs watching the satalite tv in the crew room, and I believe it was on 'foxbox' at the time. lol go figure; satalite tv and i watched 4kids xD
But I actually think I saw a snippet of an ep, or a commercial for it earlier than that and got excited. Because I love fairies (my room is all Tink )
Lol Cool Meru, I love tinkerbell and my friend is crazy about it
i was on everythinggirl.com and saw a link to these 5 girls and look at it and was hook but had to wait for the eps to come out in NZ but then i found youtube @_@ and was able to see them and the eps
well i heard about it before from commercials but always thought it was lame so i never bothered till one day i was bored and i was just going through channels till i went to cartoonetwork and then i watched 5 minutes of it and i loveddddd it so then i just decided to watch it from then and after they took it off cartoonnetwork i lost some interest because only way was to wake up early and i couldnt do that lol so then i didnt watch it for till i think the middle of the 3rd season das when i seen it was on veoh so i had to catch up on season 2 and season 3 lol =] so no more waking up at 8am to watch it on 4kids
one day i switch on de tv
there was a show on.. winx club
my frist impression was that it was LAME
but it so happened that it was flora and helia. my fave fairy is flora... n i thought helia was good-looking( u can't blame a virgo for liking a virgo) so i watched. very intresting... not to mention depressing.
I found it by coincidence on a random Saturday morning in autumn of 2004, after staying up all night. I had never remotely heard of it before.
I saw an advert on the TV and I checked it out.
I was watching Spongebob one morning, and I started flipping channels.
I just managed to catch the opening of it, and I was all, "Okay, remotely interesting."
So I kept watching. And then I was like, Wow, this is kinda good for only having two people out of what are there supposed to be? five?
And the next week, I watched it again, and I was hooked.
Yes, for those of you who didn't figure it out, I got hooked by the first episode.
I saw an ad for the first time when I was searching for info on the English dub of Tokyo Mew Mew. I actually joined in time to catch the fourth episode.
It's fun being one of the firsts...;P
i am glad i found out about winx club. i can't imagine my life not knowing the winx club. they something i will remember forever.
I wouldn't be called insane by my best friend if I didn't watch Winx Club!
(And if Avatar didn't exist, and naruto and bleach...ugh. Sarah'd be waaaaaay different.)
Winx Club is the greatest cartoon I watch even the animators make a lot of mistakes. i will remember it forever and of course, I won't throw all my precious collection away =D
I swear, I'm gonna be a Winx addict WAAAAY after the movie, whenever it comes out in the US.
Thinking on it, maybe Bonaire'll have the movie in Original English. I mean, it might also be in Dutch, since Bonaire is in the Netherlands Antilles...
I heard from a few...ahem, "Connections" (named Leo and Matthew) down on Bonaire that Winx is just starting in Original English on TV if you have...some sort of TV service.
(Oh, and does anyone think it's a strange coincidence that although Leo and Matthew and their mom live down on Bonaire in summer and winter, they live in Rome the rest of the time? As in Rome, Italy? They're my connections for getting Enchantix dolls...if ever...;P)
I'm already a winx addict AnnieBelle ^^
I honestly can't remember... I saw the adds for it, then I just started watching it, I think because it was either after or before totally spies which was like my favorite show when I was younger, or something. But I'm sure glad I did find it. Anyway, there's no trace of it left here, it's not on TV, or in stores, or anything... oh well. Can't wait for the movie ^^
♥
LoL. I'm as much of a Winx addict as Ruby is a trapeeze artist at the City Museum's circus. Which is, to say, a whole heck of a lot.
the Winx club show was on for a while, i didnt really pay attentionto it, untill these last two weeks, and once i seen what it was about, i got hooked on it, like i got hooked on Negima.
I'm a Winx addict to, but I don't really spend money on it. (Mainly because that money goes to my OTHER addiction. *Eyes her robot pals*)
well I don't get that much money in the first place at all, and I have to use my money for more important things like saving up for college. Plus I honestly don't know if I will keep all the dolls I have when I'm 50 years old, I will most likely look back and be like "why did I spend so much money on dolls?" I still like winx club a lot ,but I don't need tons of merchandise to make me happy, it would be nice to have dolls, but I am running out of room to have them, and even worse if I get much more my "friends" would really make fun of me.
ditto that
When I first saw winx I was on the internet and came across 4kids. tv and looked there around and saw winx but I didn't stop there very long I was just" why aren't shows like this showed on this country" and then, maybe one or two days later I came across the first episode on the tv. and then I knew what it was and went to 4kids again^^
thats cool! I watched it on cartoon network first then found the 4kids tv website and the official one.
Honestly, I wasn't bothered with the show, but whilst walking round my local video retailer, I came across the first DVD on sale(£5), so on an impulse I decided to buy it. 1 official UK and 5 US DVD releases later, I bought series 1+2 of the Rai versions off eBay.co.uk.... now just waiting for those series 3 releases
By the way, hi, just joined
welcome
I'm a winx addict too. i love winx and i watch over the episode on the internet.
me too the first time I heard winx was on a commercial
When I was 4 i wached rtl 2 and then I seen last episodes of season 1.
Two years later I watched Winx on ORF(season 1)
4 years later I watched winx on Nick(all seasons)
Never noticed this thread =P.
I accidentally found out about this show when I was getting ready for work on a saturday morning and I needed some cartoons to watch while busying around the house. It just so happened that this cutesy fantasy storylined show was on just when I needed something to wake me up.
Lol, I don't even know how I found out about Winx. It's just been one of my favorite shows for as long as I can remember.
i saw some commercials and then i started watching it (luckily i saw the first episode first) and liked it immediately (i liked how there was fighting in like the first 2 minutes and i've always like fanatsy shows)
Cool! When I was in third or fourth grade I went on vacation to Algeria, my cousin was flipping through channels on the french satellite and she found winx. My first episode was the cooking one with the potatoes and such. I kind of forgot about it, but later on just as I was about to leave for the pool, it came on on YTV, and I saw the first episode of the series.
Yup, I did too see the everythingirl.com advertisement
that was "Date With Disaster" I think
I never saw the everythingirl.com advertisement, I got into it while it was on cartoon network, and then I found out about 4kids airing it once cartoon network took it off.
They showed it on CN?!
yeah, 3 years ago they showed it a lot on there, they showed it at 5 and at 7 am. (I remember when I helped out with Safety Town and I had to wake up early I would watch it before I left)
I saw an advert on tv then on a magazine about the showing times. then i watched the first episode and i loved it.
ya, the first episode was really good!
i saw my cousin watchin it so i watched it with her and i loved it!!l
I just stumbled upon an add for 4kids.tv. I looked through the shows they had (sorry not big fan of anime) and winx looked interesting I watched I few episodes and...I loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I watched an episode on TV and I loved it !
~It was an accident !~
I saw an advert for the dolls and went looking for it and found it on 4kids, watched the first 6 episodes and was hooked. Then they started showing it on a program called 'Toasted Tv' here and then I watched it all.
I have no idea how I found out about and started watching Winx. All I remember was turning the tv on and it was on Channel Ten and there was Winx. I was half asleep and was like 'I can fly like a fairy.' Woke up the next day and did the same and I was hooked pretty much.
I was just watching tv when I saw it in the morning.I liked it so I watched a few episdoes.Then my mom bought me a stella doll from Amsterdam when she visited there.She told me it was very poplour there, that's how I started my winx spree ^^
I watched tv one weekend and then i saw one episode of the Winx club and it was good. Ive seen all the episodes now and its an awesome show.
There was nothing else on Tv basically.
I started watching it and to be honest, I didn't like it that much.
Then, I think it was the next week, I was channel hopping and I saw it again but on a different channel. I started watching it because I was bored and noticed it was different from the one I had seen on Nickelodeon. It was the rai version! I really liked this one, I'm not sure why. Maybe I thought the story line was better? Or maybe the episode was better? I don't know. All I know now is that I'm totally hooked!
im hooked too XD its so good.
I saw previews and commercials for it on YTV (a Canadian tv station) and thought not another lame new show when it first started to show. It wasn't about until early 2007 that I finally caught an episode on YTV, the one were Icy turns Mirta into a pumpkin, and even then I wasn't to interested.
It would take a very boring summer for me to find something new to watch. After watching the entire 2 season of Avatar on YouTube I needed something else to watch. Remembering the Winx Club episode I went hunting until I found what I was looking for.
I think I started to watch the 4Kids version of the Winx Club first but then I did more research on Wiki and skipped over to the Rai and restarted at the first episode. At that time YouTube was coming down hard on people who uploaded episodes so the Rai episodes were few and far between so I went back to the 4Kids version to watch both the first and second season completely and I was finally hooked.
i was flipping through the channels and i found it on cartoon network and i got hooked on it
Believe it or not...from Wal-Mart. My friend and were there one time with my friend's mom. We were looking at the toys and saw the original 5 Winx Club Dolls from Mattel. We were like aw cool! But had no idea that it was a show. So that Christmas, between my younger sister and I, we got all 5 dolls (me: Musa and Flora. her Tecna and Bloom and then we "shared" Stella) So anyways, with the dolls came a dvd exclusive preview for the show. We watched that and wanted to see this show. We had no idea when and what time it was on. One Saturday, my sister was flipping channels and she came across...Winx Club! I've been obsessed ever since. My sis likes it but not as much as I do. Anyways back to the dolls, we now have the 5, Layla, Icy, Sky (which my Aunt somehow managed to find!!!),Musa, Bloom and Stella Enchantix dolls and the all the pixies except Digit. I don't even know if they make dolls in North America anymore! But I did send a letter to the Mattel Headquarters in California requesting that they make the rest of the Specialists as dolls. I'll post if I get a reply.
Whew! That was long and painful! haha!
I don't even remember how I find out about Winx.
But what matters is, I'm in love with them.
^^
I turned on the TV to get the weather forecast and it was on Fox. I'm rarely alert at 9AM on a Saturday morning: I know not late, but I do know early, and I don't like it. The morning haze hadn't worn off and I was taken by the artwork. I sat on the couch trying to seize just what I was watching, but all my mind could tell me was "ZOMG! COLOOORS!". That's what I get for being up before noon.
It was months later, I was doing some market research for work when I saw the show again, and made the connection.
a few years ago I was on 4kids tv site and I saw winx club. so I watched its episodes and I liked it, especially Bloom, I become winx club member. after that I was bored with 4kids tv site and stopped come to this site(also with winx), then a months ago there was info about winx club season 3 and I watched its episodes and I become its biggest fan.
Fist time it was like that: i woke up and turned op the internet like always, but found out that it is out of limit, and their office will open only in next 3 hours. To kill time i decided to watch TV and i saw Winx Club. There was nothing else so i watched, and liked it. When internet was on again i looked at their site... Well, you can guess what was next^^
I was looking for something a bit similar as w.i.t.c.h. and I found this!
Looking episodes on internet, in my country only this year start to be on TV
I guess it was around 5 years ago is aired? Something like that. Well actually I saw the doll commercial first (and the last time) and then saw the commercials for the show. I was actually curious because.
1. I like girl superheros, it reminds me of my sailormoon childhood days which was a happy time
2. I love fairies and their pretty wings
3. I only came across a few episodes when i wasnt out or at school or work. Luckily these happened to be the ones with the biggest plot and drama
the first and second episode, the dance, the day of the rose, diaspro, bloom and daphne, bloom finds shes a princess, bloom goes to domino, final battle. Ok thats more then a few episodes but this was with the season playing over 3 or more times over one year. So i would see one from the middle of the season, then the end then the beginning, etc
So I hadnt seen the whole season but i got the jist of the characters and stories and liked it but wasnt crazy. I looked it up a bit online on the site, i liked the art style, but other then that moved on. When season two came out again same thing. Watched a couple episodes here and there, even less then season one, only really knew that there was layle, bloom goes evil and they had charmix. This was the 4 kids one so the characters attitudes didnt really attract me.
What won me over was enchantix (i think this is still me favourite transformation just because theyre traditional fairy kind of). For some reason I dont remember i checked out the winx site (the crappy northamerican one) and saw an add for season 3 with a pic of Musa in her enchantix. My first impression was beautiful! I was in love. The wings! The detail! Look how long her hair was (i figured her pigtails were only longer in enchantix, i was a bit disapointed when i discovered they weret) The outfits! The colours! New power where they actually become real fairies! With wings that look like they could support their weight! Being an art student i was instantly compelled to draw them. I staked out the shows whenever i had the time to get a glimpse of their enchantix's. This was rare since i only knew it to air weekday mornings when id be at school and sat mornings when id be asleep or elsewhere. So i started to look on youtube and was slowly getting hooked. I guess i got curious about the whole story so looked for season 1 but at the time only rai was available so i was like whatever and watched. It was official, i was a fan. The rai was more indepth with story and characters and i thought it was a master piece.
Its funny because im a new university graduate and i go to work and doodle fairy wings on all my notes. I have a sketch book full of fairies. I have the movie. I feel like its my dirty secret, none or my friends or my boyfriend knows it exists, i dont think they'd care if i told them, they'd just be like whatever. I know everyone has their kid fixes that we still like, some like disney, some like transformers or whatever, our generation grew up with video games and i dont thik the majority will grow out of that, at least not fully, but for some reason i keep Winx secret. And when i have nothing else to do. I come online and watch. It makes me feel young again. well, ten years younger anyways, im not old or something.
And now im starting to read W.I.T.C.H. after reading a controversy over how winx copied them or something. I like it.
Heh,
On June 2005, I was 10 years old. It was Saturday Morning around 8 in the morning. I somehow couldn't sleep cause it's a bit early for me. I guess it's a big day like I have to go to the party or something.
I was bored and decided to watch TV. I kept changing channels cause they are borning shows...and I saw a fairy flying trying to catch someone. Which is actually Bloom trying to stop Riven from Season 1. The episode was called "The Day of The Rose" from 4kids.tv version. I was like. Whoa? Amazing! (I'm such a fairy, magic, and fantasy fan. xD). I got interest into it. I thought it was the first episode, but it wasn't. It's the 8th episode. I panic that I missed them. But then they reair it. I was happy that I seen them all. xD When it's over. I ask my friends and my cousins if they watch Winx Club. They say "yeah!" I was like cool! Then I go on the computer to check when did it came out. It came out on May 2004. Which is whoa..didn't see that. ^^" But I was so lucky that I seen the Season 1 Episodes before they aired the Season 2 which is September 2005. After that, I seen winxclub.tv winxclub.com and Michael's Winx Club. I click the affies and links. I saw Winx Dreams which is the First Winx Fan Site I never seen. It was so great! =) Then TecnoPage, WinxMagical, WinxZone, WinxPrincess, MagixClub, WinxTales, and many more. Of course, I started having DreamyWinx. xD Which is already 1 year old. =)
I watched them from Season 1 - 3. =)
i was in after school and this girl turn on the tv to fox 5 and i started watching it
I was on the 4Kids website for some unexplainable reason, and watched the first season.
Then I found the Rai English version recently since I didn't know it existed, and watched up to as much of Season 4 that I could. =)
5 years ago watching saturday cardtoons well i think saturday i was watching foxbox (aka 4kids) and it came on
my friend was living in america and when she came back she told me about it....
sometimes she sleeps over in summer and we stay up all night watching winx club (she has all 3 seasons on dvd....rai)
I got up late and turned on TV. And in Cartoon Network, I watch ep 26th of Winx Club season 1. It's so wonderful and I love it. I decide to watch all episodes of this serie :))
