What was your first Anime?

First anime in my lifetime: Pokemon/Digimon/YuGiOh or something. One of those Saturday morning things

Same with me. Pokemon made me delve deeper into anime at a very young age. Because of it, anime became the first thing I had as a child that wasn't taken away once I liked it, which is why I enjoy it so much now.

 

First matured series I saw was Ghost in The Shell: Standalone Complex, when I was about 8. I still think the series is fantastic.

A lot of 70's-80's cartoons appeared back in my baby-hood I didn't realize were Japanese animation at the time. I knew there was something unique about them that got me addicted to them. Can't pinpoint any names though. 

[Jibril]

Soul Eater is my first anime, but if we're talking about stuff that we also sometimes see in TV and never actually really into, then it'll probably Digimon.

[ServeTheServant]

I used to drop by Anime club in high school just to hang out with a girl who went, so not sure about what we watched in there... but the first anime I watched since beginning to watch anime by myself this year was FMA.

[Chewy]

Seems like forever ago but mine was Doraemon i think. Either that or Detective Conan. Mind you this was when I was like under 7 years of age.

[SuperWaffleNinja]

Pretty sure that was Toonami.  Ah, the good old days. 

 

Ditto, or Pokemon, I can't remember which I watched first.  Haven't seen it in ages though. 

No, it was a anime about a man with a yellow afro, sunglasses and he had magic nosehair and fight the evil bald people empire.

I watched Hamtaro when I was six years old, but I didn't know what it was until much later. I actually started with manga before anime (I was a big reader when I was younger), but I think I started watching anime with Pokemon in 3rd grade because it was easily accessible.

My first anime was Shakugan no Shana. I just one day decided that I would check it out after reading a comment on a nightcore video on youtube about how good it was.

At the first episode I was like: "What the hell is this shit" and had to force myself not to quit

At the second episode I was like: "Hmm, i guess this is okay"

After watching the third episode I was hooked.

For the next couple of weeks my life consisted of nothing but watching anime and sleeping. (Yes, nothing else. I completly shut out all my friends and barricaded myself in my room.)

I was saying that it Bobobo was on Toonami (a program on Cartoon Network), not Nickalodeon.

ohh, i don't really remember since its a long time ago

[AbsoluteAnimeLover]

My first was probably Hidan no Aria

[Amagami]

I think my first anime was Inazuma Eleven (or Hunter x Hunter), when I were a kid I watched on TV.

But at that time I didn't know that it was a anime.

[sirjabberwock]

My first exposure to anime was Naruto. I watched it for quite awhile time without delving deeper for some reason

[joehawks12]

DBZ on cartoon network in the late 90s probably?

I don't remember, it was a long ass time ago when i saw my first anime, and i really didn't know what anime was until around 2006-07

[BookwormOtaku]

The first anime I saw that I can remember fully is My Neighbor the Totoro; I was at a daycare during the summer and it was some time while I was in fourth or fifth grade. If we're going by kind of remember when I was over at my grandparents' house they had cable while my parents didn't so I'd watch whatever came up on Nickelodeon and I watched these and only just recently discovered they were anime:

Edit: This one too...

Forgot because I remember I thought this and Little Koala as being the same show

 

I wonder if there are any DVD collections for those...

[Chewy]

My first one would be Digimon as my profile will tell you if you were interested.

Crap I'd forgotten about Dragonball. It's so ingrained in my childhood that I didn't even consider it

Don't worry, its normal mate. We all have these type of things that are ingrained in our memories because it was a major part of our childhood.

[rapid motion]

The first Anime I watched (that I considered to be anime ~ e.g. not pokemon) was probably sekirei....

 

The first Anime I watched for the plot ~ romance was Toradora.

[Dr4n3t]

First anime I ever watched was Dragonball and some random episodes of Sailor Moon... I think. It was soooooo long ago... 

 

First anime I watched knowing that it is anime was Bleach.

[Niko]

Dragon Ball Z. I believe I was 5 at the time possibly? Anyways, pretty cool stuff.

[MsMadness]

My first anime was Soul Eater three years ago. I just saw Soul Eater AMV and then I wanted to see the anime. I was watching it for three months and I didn't want to complete it.
