According to the earlier epis, and some *cough* fillers *cough*, Orochimaru placed a Curse Mark on Anko before he left the Leaf Village. And yet, Anko's curse mark rarely/never seemed to have its effect. ANd from what I remember, Orochimaru told Anko that he was going to use Sasuke as a more effective pawn instead. However, her curse ceal can manifest at any time, right? And, if she takes that same medication that Sasuke took, she can go CS2 if the ritual is done correctly....also, isn't it ironic she doesn't appear at all in Shippuuden? I don't think she's dead....
Why DID Orochimaru give Anko the curse mark, anyway?
Discuss.
Anko was Orochimaru's sole student, during his tenure as a Leaf shinobi (as far as we know). And, he happened to be training her around the same time that he was first developing the curse seal. So, when he placed it on that first batch of testees, she ended up being one of them. Likely because Orochimaru saw her as strong (due to the fact that he chose her as his student, in the first place), and she was there at hand and capable of being manipulated easily.
She was the sole survivor from that early test and was never able to use her seal properly due to the fact that she didn't have the appropriate will/level of malice in her heart to activate it fully. And so, even if she took all of the pills and went through all of the rituals that Sasuke has, chances are it wouldn't have the same effects.
Some of this info may have come from fillers. All of her backstory has pretty much melded together in my memory. But, if some of it is filler, then there has yet to be given an actual answer in the manga to deal with this question.
Also, we have seen in her Shippuuden. She walked through the background once or twice during one of the early episodes. But, other than that, no. And, it's not all that surprising, as she isn't a main character/supporting character and has little/no relevance to the driving plot.
Besides, rather than a fanservice Anko shot, it makes more sense to show other early minor characters, such as Ibiki, who is at least the head of the ANBU interrogation force and could possibly effect something in the near future.
This was filler so that makes the OP's question tottaly moot.
Thank you, please try again
^Anko having the curse mark wasn't filler, and they are asking the purpose behind her getting it. The only background information we've been given about that is in fillers, but that doesn't make his/her initial question any less valid.
And, even if it was only in fillers, he/she would still have a potential thread. It would just belong in Konoha TV rather than here.

She was a test subject, that's all.
That was filler...so it'll probably amount to nothing...

Orochimaru was going through a confusing part of his life. He was experimenting and just not sure what he really wanted. It was all a bad mistake... you know you get a little crazy when you're in college.
Then after watching an E! interview with Michael Jackson, it all made sense.

Agreed.

lol
(i remember when i saw them together at the chunin exams i thought they were ex lovers lol)
She was and expirement for Oro!
Anko having the Cursed Seal isn't filler but that backstory for it is.
She was Oro's student and she was most likely one of his first test subjects for the CS. there was never anything about her not having enough malice or whatever the fillers concocted.
I guess she could try to take the second pill but she would die unless somebody slowed the process like with Sasuke.
She was his first cursed seal experiment, and she admired him.
admiration and perhaps love can do strange things to a human.

Right. But this doesn't make sense because Spoiler:
Oro has elaborated the Cursed Seal jutsu basing of Juugo's enzyme. So it should have happened after he had left the village.
The fillers (...)

Of course I don't know... why Orochimaru gave Anko CS but as some people mentioned above it could be because she was his object of experimentation. Moreover he was giving the mark probably to all of his subordinates. Kabuto was the only exception proves the rule.

As I suppose Anko isn't able to activate the second form of Curse Seal. That's because she hasn't gone through a ritual of death (that one which Sasuke went through when he was put into the barrel).
She only possesses the seal which makes her useful to Orochimaru but still she doesn't receive any positive effects from it.
Besides I'm still wondering Spoiler:
if Sasuke after the 'absorption' of Orochimaru got the ability of controlling people with the seal.
Alot of stuff was quot;fillerquot;, and yet it made it's way into the manga. People go off and spout quot;ZOMG IT'S FILLER IT'S NOT TEH TRUTH ZDLXFKBHJZDKLJHBKJHDZBGquot;, it's idiotic. Kishimoto can pull whatever he wants from the anime, be it filler or not. Just because YOU don't consider it, doesn't mean that he doesn't. So lets leave it to the person who actually writes the story, then some random ramblings of people who only see things in black and white.
From what we've seen of Oro/Anko interaction in the Chuunin Exam arc, she doesn't seem to be under his control from the seal. Rather, it merely seems to cause her pain at his presence, but doesn't affect her mind.
And Anko's MY pawn damnit gt;.lt;
