To use Rin as my example, I knew about her before hand, and her anime came out before the VN was translated in the West. I thought she was pretty, and I was attracted to her, but I didn't really "know" her until finishing her VN in it's entirety. So I always say that I truly came to love her in 09 as opposed to when I first found out about her in 08 or 07. Whenever it was. That's just my perspective though. You should go with your own gut.
