CrowHeart Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Remember the first... the anime that made you a fan of this wonderful entertainment called ANIME. Do you remeber wen you got your first manga and read it non stop? What anime was it? Or What manga was it? Can you remember what made you in to an Anime Otaku? Why did you decide to read manga? Mine was Full Metal Alchemist My brother was in to anime before I was and one they he introduce me to FMA and soon I got sucked in to anime and ever since then I became an Otaku. Quote
Zhiroo Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I have no clue what was the first anime I've watched since it was in 1997. I do remember that I got into anime after the war ended in Kosovo in 1999 and coming back from school to watch Pokemon, Dragon Ball, Yu-Gi-Oh and whatever else RTL 2 showed during that time. First anime that I watched in internet was Yu Yu Hakusho. As for my first manga it's Death Note in 2006 I think. The reason I got into manga is that back in 2006 I had really bad internet and it was hard to watch Anime with crappy internet and since I liked Death Note anime a lot after somehow watching a few episodes I switched to manga. (I used to have to wait around 40mins just to fully load an anime episode, sometimes I'd open 4 episodes and leave them load all day while I was out.) Quote
Nosebleed Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Eh I probably watched some as a child but I have no clue what it was. It was probably Dragonball Z or Doraemon. I was like 5 or 6 so I don't really remember. Pokemon is also a likely candidate. But if you count when I actually got interested in anime (back in 2012) it was Highschool DxD. I was 16 at the time so seeing all the ecchi got me excited thinking it was so unique and wonderful. Yeah i'm not really proud of it, but hey it got me into anime. The first manga.. Hmmm.. There's been some manga I attempted to read but didn't really get into. The only manga I've gotten into so far is Nisekoi, so I'm going to go with Nisekoi for first manga because it's the only manga i'm currently reading (well I already caught up with it i'm just waiting for the next chapter to be out).

Guest Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 My first anime was Fullmetal alchemist. My first manga was ... * drumroll* ... Dragon ball ( ._. lame ) Quote
FruitsPunchSamurai Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 First western animation was spongebob for me heh First Japanese Anime was Cowboy Beebop or rurouni Kenshin back when it showed on Toonami. First Manga was Yu Yu Hakusho Quote
Kynbound Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 My first anime was Slayers Next or Lost Universe,cant recall very well As for my first manga it was Naruto. Dam those filler episodes Quote
The Major Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 First anime i watched was Pokemon, when I was a young'un. What really got me interested in anime was Rurouni Kenshin. I first saw it when it aired on Toonami back in... 2003 or 2004. First manga was Rurouni Kenshin Quote
Tom Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 both are probably not my first, but are the first i remember manga: NoBra anime: Dragon Ball Quote
Forythos Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I my first anime was Astro Boy when I was really young, but what got me into anime much later was probably Akira and the Studio Ghibli movies, followed by Evangelion some time later. My first manga I think was I''s, which I read online scanslations of when I was in high school.(that's over 10 years ago!) I also remember reading Love Hina and Yu Yu Hakusho around the same time so I'm not 100% sure which one came first. The manga I've been collecting for the longest time though, and am still buying today, is Berserk.(French edition.) Quote

Nagisa_Fawkes Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I don't remember very well, I'm pretty sure my first anime was pokémon. My first manga was recent though, School Rumble. Quote
DimDito Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I was exposed to otaku culture when I was in elementary school; Caught Crayon Shin-Chan on a local television. Read Doraemon because it was probably the most popular cat of any kind that time. Quote
Flutterz Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I've never been particularly interested in anime, the main reason why I watch them every now and again is visual novel adaptations. That said, my first anime was either Dragonball Z or Cardcaptor Sakura both of which I watched on TV when I was a little kid. Not sure which one was first, though. Quote
Clephas Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Technically, my first anime was Voltron, in the eighties. However, the first anime I saw that I knew as an anime was the original Record of Lodoss War OVA series. I watched it fansubbed on crappy VHS recordings in my cousin's room... and I was doomed after that. That was 1992... Quote
maliksusanto Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 My First Manga is Doraemon lol Cant really remember what my first anime but Jormungand make me into anime Quote
Mikel Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 My first anime was probably Dragon Ball, or some anime that was released around that time (mid 90's) The one I do remember is the first anime I watched in Japanese, it was Elfen Lied. I've watched it several times, and I would watch it many more times Quote
TheShadowOtaku Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Probably... Beyblade or something similar to Pokemon I guess (possibly digimon?) Anyway, hard time remembering since I did watch 100+ animes (didn't bother adding them to the list in my MAL). Quote
KeyFeels Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Well the obvious is pokemon.. But what got me into anime was Clannad. I feel thats a better route to go here. Quote
Eldin Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 my first anime ever was I think saint seiya way back on cartoon network. my first manga was battle royale. Quote
moonrabbit Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 My first anime was when I was about 6-7 years old when Sailor Moon was on TV! My first manga was actually Ayashi no Ceres because it was just a random pick up at the store! Quote
Schnarf Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Not counting the ones I watched on CN when I was younger, the first anime I really got into was Naruto. Quote
krofna Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Mine was Naruto. When I was a kid I thought that was best thing ever. I don't watch it anymore though, got sick of prolonged story, fillers and recurring shit like characters finding secret power when they are about to be killed by bad guys. Quote
GetterEmperor Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 The first anime that I watched was Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki. And I didn't really read manga till around 2010 when the Getter Robo manga was being translated. Quote
TomoyoSakagami Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Technically it would be DBZ. Otherwise it was Hajime no Ippo! Or Haruhi Suzumiya. I forget. It doesn't really matter to me what I watched first anymore. It's what I'm watching or going to watch that's important : D Quote
monkeysrumble Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 I'm pretty sure my first anime was Dragon Ball Z. My brothers watched it when I was like 4 years old so I would stay up pass my bedtime to watch it with them. I'm not sure how I got away with it. Quote
