My first ever was Pokemon! I must of been about 4 years old.

Then DBZ and Digimon.

Man, it brings back memories xD

[EagleEyes]

Pokemon / sailormoon when I was about 5/6 then Digimon and DBZ. As well as few others that made it onto morning TV.

[XIamSogekingX]

I cant remember if I saw Dragonball Z or Pokemon first. After that though it was all about early Toonami. Tenchi Muyo, Gundam, Dragonball. It was soooo good.

[HezaaChan]

The first one I ever remember actually watching, was the Card Captor Sakura dub. It used to be on channel 3 (in England), I swear.

[ImagineBreaker]

Bubblegum Crisis, i was probly about 8 haha.

[christmas4477]

I think my first was Voltron. I had all the familiar symptoms of Voltron. I do remember Pokemon and Sailor Moon though. DBZ came later.

[ace8489]

mine was DBZ,Pokemon and gundam wing.I think most peoples first will have to be DBZ and Pokemon

[黒と赤「KUROtoAKA」]

Sailormoon, DBZ, and Pokemon. A lot of fans started with those three. Though, I didn't realize it was anime at the time. I didn't realize what I was watching or start getting into it until I started watching Inuyasha.

[Rocco]

My firsts were Pokemon and Dragonball Z

[Elk]

My first anime was some anime starring a dog named Sebastian. I can't remember much about it, as I was about 2 at the time.

[Kercon]

Tanoshii Muumin Ikka or in English Moomin of course I didn't know it is anime ^_^ only "dobranocka" dunno how to translate it

[Kanashimi]

Gotta be some Sailor Moon, an anime I still love to this day.

[FFHellDragon]

Tanoshii Muumin Ikka or in English Moomin of course I didn't know it is anime ^_^ only "dobranocka" dunno how to translate it

Moomin...their those little cute white creatures right?

[HezaaChan]

And it was channel 3, Citv wasn't it?

Yeah, I think so XD
And I think Nickleodeon used to be on channel 3 around that time too so it could have been on there :P
Ah the confusion of old tv channels.

[Halfmetal-lich]

I believe..oh what was it. I think it was Dragonball Z, but I it may have also been Pokemon.

One of those two.

[Art1ist15]

Pokemon and DBZ
I was 3
i miss watching them :(

[MechaTamago]

CardCaptor Sakura, she was also my first anime crush

[Oni]

Pokemon and Samurai Pizza Cats.

[Kercon]

[Kate]

My very first was between Speed Racer and Sailor Moon. Kinda hard to think which one came first. >_<

[Oni]

OMG I loves SPC!

Yes, it is quite good. And before anyone says anything, I know it's an unusual combination. Australia likes to air things at unusual times.

[ace8489]

Haha win :awesome:

haha no epic win.

[CantStrafeRight]

For me it would be Samurai Pizza Cats.

[XIamSogekingX]

My very first was between Speed Racer and Sailor Moon. Kinda hard to think which one came first. >_<

I really did forget all about Speed Racer, it's just I can't remember if I saw it before anything else. I wish I could relive all those times to see what was first :P

[Bonediddly]

bXiJYcK4-GU
F- YEAH!

[FFHellDragon]

How old is SPC??

[Zero Gravity]

Twilight of the Dark Master

[Shiki-san]

My first animes were Doraemon, Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball ( not in any particular order)

[FFHellDragon]

Doraemon - Never heard of it, Whats it about???

http://myanimelist.net/anime/501/Doraemon
http://myanimelist.net/anime/2471/Doraemon

It's one of most famous animes o.o

The anime is about a robot cat from the future Doraemon who was sent from the future-self main chara of the story nobita to prevent the present nobita from making mistakes.

[HezaaChan]

I have the comic of Moomins. Well technically my sister has it. But pffft, how is a ten year old going to understand its greatness??

[FFHellDragon]

Haha exactly what i would say :smile:

[dbull620]

It was either Teknoman (english version of Tekkaman Blade) or Sailor Moon, though at the time I didn't even know what anime was.

[Shin_No_Kokoro]

My first ever anime series was Saint Seiya. I still can't get over how awesome it was to be feel the power of my cosmos increased as i sat down as a 8 year old kid. That serie is the reason im an anime fan now

[TheGreatMoof]

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QP-Sq0tCmv4/Rny7VTWrdLI/AAAAAAAAAh0/WGFBVDoqj-Q/s400/silverhawks.jpg

Silverhawks was sorta my first big obsession with anime, if we're counting stuff like that and Thundercats. After that, though, my first "pure" anime that I ever saw was Sailor Moon. Not gonna lie, Sailor Mars is smexy. =d

[ZshadowX]

My First anime was also Pokemon
http://www.heimdalikt.no/2ssa/torst/picachu25.jpg

It just Bring the most wonderful memories just by remembering about the past. T_T

[G U R U]

My first anime was probably Pokemon as well. However the first anime that I watched that I knew it was an anime was Cardcaptor Sakura. I thought Pokemon was just like every other cartoon on at the time however Cardcaptors was different. I watched that like it was a religion lol and it got me into other animes like Slayers and Trigun and then it turned into the snowball effect and hasn't stopped.

[ApolloNoUta]

Before I knew what anime was, my firsts were Samurai Pizza Cats and Sailor Moon. Around the time I was starting to recognize what anime was (around the time Pokemon was debuting), my Dad rented Akira, some Ranma 1/2 OVAs, and the first Urusei Yatsura movie. I obviously wasn't ready for Akira, but Urusei Yatsura drew me in, and shows like Pokemon, Digimon (especially), and Monster Ranchers drew me in even further. From then on, it's all a blur of explorations and discoveries, haha.

[Stone]

It was actually Noir. It was the first time I sneaked into the living room to watch late night stuff. After that Samurai Champloo.

YES Monster Rancher is amazing. I just got the whole show dubbed off a friend and I'm gonna watch it again. Nostalgic overload.

[Tewy]

I think the first one would have to be Saint Seiya

[mitamaking]

I was like 5 years old one Saturday morning waiting for Magic School Bus on Fox when instead they showed the first episode of the Tree of Life arc of Sailor Moon.

That was my first.

[chefofdeath]

i think the first anime i ve seen was outlaw star . . . it could of been something else but i cant remember

[Shadowblade Edge]

Probably Pokemon, when I was 8ish. First time knowing what anime was it was either Vandread or Midori no Hibi.

[Thage]

Mine was also Pokemon, I think I was like 5 or 6 at the time. Whats really funny is for the longest time I thought Digimon and Pokemon was the same show until my cousin pointed it out for me. :biggrin:

[Chris]

I was transported to a far awayyyy laaandddd, a world where monsters rule, MONSTERS RULE.

My first anime ever without realizing it was Monster Rancher, tied with Pokemon since they were pretty much around at the same time for me. Then came along Digimon, which was clearly the best of the three in my opinion, I wasn't much of a Pokemon fan.

[RazerRay]

My first anime was Akira...when I was 6. My brother thought it'd be fun to freak me out with the giant baby, I just thought it was cool.

[That-Pig-Has-A-Bow]

Sailor moon, Pokemon, Dragon ball Z, Ghost in the Shell, Astro Boy and Monster Rancher

[AyumuKagami]

The first anime that i ever saw was Tenchi Muyo when my cousin showed it to me when she was babysitting one day. I thank her in my heart everyday that she introduced me to anime. If not i would be lame and watch nothing but sports, what kind of life would that be, lol. After that i think it was probably Pokemon. The time has flown by since then. And every day i value the anime that i have seen and whats new to come.

[cj16bit]

Pokemon and Dbz were my first anime even though at the time i dinth know they were anime

[SaiQ]

The first anime that i ever saw was Tenchi Muyo

Ah Tenchi Muyo! I remember watching back on cartoon network when they still ran Tsunami.

First for me was Robotech followed by Gundam Wing then DBZ and Sailor Moon which aired after. After that was pokemon.

[kagra280]

Well... the first anime ive known of was Pokemon but the first one i watched and love would have to be InuYasha My best friend who lived near me showed me it. He moved recently and we keep in touch. I miss him so :,(

[Tempest Wind]

Pokemon, Sailor Moon, of course. I missed the Gundam Wing bandwagon, and Outlaw Star et al went under my radar for far too long.

I have to say the anime that got me into anime really was Magic Knight Rayearth. That was around the time that I began to realize my fandom and that there were MORE like it. Then I bought all of Ruroni Kenshin on VIDEO TAPE as it came out....

[Aero]

Tekkaman Blade or Ronin Warriors (back on UPN in the early 90s not Toonami)

[krozar]

Transformers. Didn't even know at the time what anime was.

The first sub I watched was Evangelion. Never knew a "cartoon" made for TV could have such quality. Not just the animation, but the whole ambiance, the music, everything. It was like watching a good book.

[Mollybibbles]

My first was Totoro. Mom was so scared to show me something that wasn't sparkly disney, but she obviously started me down a path of no return. If there is anyone to blame for my nerd status, it is my own mother.

[mangusbrother]

unofrtunately i can't remember the name of one of the first ones...
i know that there was a kid that went to another world that used to be on a skateboard and on his team there was a small one that used to roll up into a ball which was always with him, then there was another yellow eyeball thing hopping on one leg and a giant i think made out of rock. it was awesome but i can't just remember the name...
other than that dragon ball, digimon, pokemon, yu-gi-oh, sailor moon, card captor sakura and the others that were on tv at the time.

when i started watching anime on the pc it was shakugan no shana followed by full metal alchemist :P still crazy about those two

[choum123]

Pokemon and YuGiOh were my first animes. My first kickbutt anime was Code Geass. :D

[toyNN]

My first was Totoro.
That's such a good one..way to go mom. Hard to go wrong with a Miyazaki film.

My first one I'd count was seeing Ghost in the Shell movie that inspired me to find a series to watch which ended up being Cowboy Bebop.

[Kanami]

Well mine is actually kinda confusing.. I cant remember if it's Sailor Moon, DBZ or Pokemon...

[Aniki]

Robotech's original US airing in 1985. Yeah, I'm old.

--EDIT--
krozar brings up a good point. Transformers, though written in the US, was animated in Japan. That began airing in the US in 1984, so that may have technically been my first.

[Jubilee]

Ah Tenchi Muyo! I remember watching back on cartoon network when they still ran Tsunami.



Me too! Loved that show! That along with Cardcaptor Sakura, Pokemon and DBZ :smile:

[King Slazo]

Would have been Pokémon for me, closely followed by Digimon, YuGiOh, Beyblade and Cardcaptors. Loved the lot of them, and I keep meaning to rewatch Digimon and Cardcaptors.

Didn't watch anything after those five for years, until I saw Death Note subbed a year or two ago, which pulled me back into anime.

[twillÿ]

It's hard to remember back that far, I'm thinking the first may have been Sailor Moon, like a lot of you, or Dragonball. Not sure. >< Those are at least the ones I can remember watching at a young age, though I may have seen another and not realized it was anime. Lol.

Now I am really curious, I wish I could go back in time just to find out exactly. :tongue:

[Capensis]

Sailor moon and then Outlaw Star. I think it was Outlaw Star. I remember a wooden sword and a cat woman. I was 6 at the time. Also Sailor Moon was my first and I was enamored with it.

[Tyto]

It's all sort of a blur, but it comes down to Speed Racer, Battle of the Planets, and Robotech. I think I was something like 5 or 6 at the time.

[Tsundere]

My first ever anime was Samurai pizza cats (I wonder if anyone can remember that). I was like four when I watched it and all I can remember was the awful starting that it had >_<.

[Hotaru213]

the first anime i ever saw i guess would be pokemon when i was little:smile:

[zaburai]

Samurai Pizza cats for me as well...the 90s were weird like that.

[The Animeniac]

My first anime was really old adv shows like Blue Seed, Shadow Skill, NGE, and all then all the anime cartoon network basically played in the 90's.

[willmandude]

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist. I didn't know what anime was though 'cause I was 5 at the time, then Pokemon

[One-Way-Learning]

In all honesty, the very first anime I ever saw was actually sailor moon, of all things. Right after that, DBZ. I would watch it during toonami with my dad when I was like 8 or 9

[homie_jiraiya]

digimon you know back when it was good and i was like 5

[Animebaum]

DBZ and sailor moon had to have been my first, Never liked the moon that much

[hotlikesauce]

DBZ and Gundam of course, Toonami ftw?

first anime that I watched and actually knew it was an anime: FLCL

[sasukeuzi]

my first would b pokemon and dragon ball z(or dragon ball).i used to luv pokemon but now i just think they overstretched more than they should hav.dbz did a pretty good job but dragon ball ft wasnt all that great(at least its non canon).pokemon season 1-3(kanto,orange islands,and johto right?) i thought was awsome

[Parthmakeo]

First anime i saw was Sailormoon (DIC dub) but that was when i was around 3-5 so i can't remember a whole lot.
I did not enjoy anime till...Dragonball Z happened. Then Dragonball and when i first saw Adult Swim, Cowboy bebop and Trigun (gotta love Vash)
So my first real anime was indeed Dragonball Z :D

[0takuN64]

pokemon was mine, but my mom claimed it to be evil,, so i wasn't ever able to watch it again until i was 16... sad isn't it? lol basically was when i started watching more anime then.

[EagleEyes]

You poor creature #shock

[Drago142222]

the first anime i ever saw was Dragonball

[Lost_Winter]

I can't quite recall the exact first one, but I've narrowed it down to three.....

Ronin Warriors
Sailor Moon
Dragonball Z

[sawall]

Hmmm my first anime was pokemon and DBZ, tenchi muyo. lol toonami was my life as a kid :-P

[Dist]

It was Cardcaptor Sakura. Good times.

[Dophanes "D!" Raosuke]

hum... DBZ was my first I believe, twas a wonderful series, I recommend you watch the abridged series as well, quite entertaining and worthy of a blogged "lol" or two

[Zaig]

Pokemon, Digimon, and DBZ. First anime I knew were anime: Tenchi Muyo, Inuyasha, and Gundam Wing.

[deadlymustach50]

Pokemon Digimon and 4Kids' One Piece -_-

[Gatx]

Tekkaman Blade, when they used to show it on UPN. This was also before I knew what anime was. First one I realized these things came from Japan was Pokemon, when my dad randomly pointed it out one Saturday morning.

[jessileo127]

My first anime was actually Card captor but I got bored of it and continued to watch cartoons untill my friend gave his stack of pokemon cards, Wanting to know what they did I went and watched pokemon then it was Inuyasha and Full moon wo (something or other cant spell) ^.^

[moonhawk81]

I think I first started watching anime regularly as my kids watched Voltron and Sailor Moon after school. I'd seen some little before, but my work schedule at the time limited my tv viewing to afternoons.

[Bargain Gamer]

My first anime ever was DBZ. It is still quite possibly my favorite anime of all time. XD

[gannon133]

I had a hard time figuring out what Anime I watched from the lack I seen in the past 7 or so years. Might as well tell you what I saw that was kinda like Anime and What is definitely is:


Dragon Ball Z
Pokemon
Digimon
Transformers: Robots in Disguise (a CGI-mixed with Animation, possibly the one where Neil Kaplan voiced over)
Yu-Gi-Oh! (watched this in the most horrible situation: Static)
CardCaptors (dubbed and same situation as Yu-Gi-Oh!...Static on T.V.)
Possibly Gundam but not sure...(watched it over at some kid's house while there was a party going on around
Sailor Moon...but not sure...as I can't remember because I saw this only for one moment and nothing else

[SoulArbiter]

Tekkaman Blade and Samurai Pizza Cats. Hell yeah! #poplar

[mudkipface]

I'm PRETTY sure my first anime was Gundam Wing. . .it was one of the Gundams; I know that for certain because my dad brainwashed me with them all. =A=;;;

[thebravest1]

Hmm first Anime I ever saw. I believe it was Robotech (Macross) that was my first anime. Either that or it was Dragonball Z. I just can't remember.

[mahay]

My first anime, hmm, probably either Pokemon or Sailor Moon those were the days!

[Nirvash_Redemption]

I'd probably say Ah! My Goddess, Devilman, Guyver, and Eureka seveN. [In that order] Oh, and Pokemon too, if it counts.

[dbzfreak2]

Ooooo first one eh? My first anime ever was Ronin Warriors, good anime, made me smile of it's awesomeness. Then Gundam Wing, Sailor Moon, Cardcaptors, and Dragonball Z followed after. Then Pokemon soon after that

[Animelover19]

One Piece is first ever anime I saw!

[LaketreeRKR]

Neon Genesis Evangelion when I was 9 >>

[JawnVick]

Ronin Warriors when I was like 4 and had not clue it came from Japan

[UniversalRemote]

My first ever? That would be Ronin Warriors and I had no clue what anime was or even knew that that's what I was watching lol. First one I watched while actually knowing what anime was would be Bubble Gum Crisis Tokyo 2040.

[JawnVick]

yeah when it comes to KNOWING what anime was it would be Pokemon for me but I ironicly was watched some DBZ by then and what got me hooked was Outlaw Star

[Trxd]

It was Cardcaptor Sakura, the British dub that was shown on Nickelodeon back in the 90's, I loved that show soooo much but nobody else seemed to care about it. I rediscovered it 10 years later :D

It was almost Pokemon though, after Misty left I stopped watching, ugh.

[Kaitekarue]

My Neighbor Totoro, the original dub. FAVORITE MOVIE EVAH!

Than I found out about pokemon. Which sadly was my first anime series. Than came Outlaw star. The rest is history.

[Aulann]

Astro-boy was my first anime that i watch. at the time i didn't know it was a anime tho

[Rizadon12]

My first anime would either be Dragon Ball Z or Inuyasha, I forget which one I watched first.

[hatakraa]

My first anime was Cardcaptor sakura. :P I do enjoy it still. :D

[Bobby Henshin]

Sailor moon.....what?

[ShadowSmidge]

I'd have to say its Pokemon but honestly? I don't remember. Its been a while. I can faintly remember Sailor Moon as well but I'm sure I didn't watch it.

[Leviathan Mist]

I haven't posted here yet :o My first anime was Pokemon or Sailor Moon, I saw both first at around the same time. The first anime I really got into in my recent interests is Haruhi Suzumiya.

[moonhawk81]

I haven't posted here yet :o My first anime was Pokemon or Sailor Moon, I saw both first at around the same time. The first anime I really got into in my recent interests is Haruhi Suzumiya.

Admit it--it was all about Yuki! Please note--it's always all about Yuki. . .#darling

[Cheflelouch]

Well to be honest I can remember perfectly which was the first anime I ever saw but I think it was Saint Seiya and that was when I was one Mexico
I remember because the name which its translated (Caballeros del Zodiaco)

[Leviathan Mist]

Admit it--it was all about Yuki! Please note--it's always all about Yuki. . .#darling

Why yes, yes it is. And it's where my love of Minorin stemmed from :D

[reaperking]

The first anime I ever saw was Sailor Moon, and I usually watched DBZ right after that and Pokemon in the morning c: Oh and Digimon! Digimon was probably my favorite show back then :D

Serial Experiments: Lain was also one that I got into. So after watching happy time dubbed animes on american television I was watching crazy serious business animes on VHS. I saw some of Slayers too but I was more into reading manga back then than watching a lot of anime

Oh yeah and Gundam Wing. Gundam Wing was a big one for me too.

[christmas4477]

Pokemon, DBZ and Sailor Moon obviously, but the first that I actively hunted down was Spider Riders. I searched all over Google Video, before YouTube existed for you young'ns, and was able to find all of it. Wish there DVDs so I could go back and have them

[KuroSaru]

Fullmoon ~woshagashita

it was the very first anime I saw, it's a rather sad anime but had a nice ending of sorts. after which i was hooked.

although technically first anime was DragonBallZ and SailorMoon as a child but I don't really count them.

[blackdreamer]

Dragonball Z is my first ever anime I watched. Guess I was around 8.It was nice experience to start with.

[OtakuManiac]

My first animes were Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z, Pokemon, and YuGiOh!. Ah..the good old day

Oh! And Digimon! Can't forget that show

[Team]

i could name a list of animes but to name the first would be seriously hard

[EverYoung]

At the beginning I haven’t had any idea about what is an anime, but one of my friends is a huge fan of anime so he made me watch “Pokemon” for the fist time. Since then I became a decent fan of Japanese anime.



http://www.anime.com/PokeMon/images/circle-01.jpg

[@chiefjon66]

I think the first anime I ever saw was Lupin the 3rd back when it was on adult swim

[loyalmoonie]

I have to plead guilty here... Sailor Moon was my very first anime I ever watched when I was a kid...

Even though I understand 100% about the many cuts/edits in the English version, however, that doesn't matter to me, I still like my childhood, and Sailor Moon was part of it.

[MakiMaki]

Speed Racer, Battle of the Planets, Starblazers and an obscure show called Tranzor Z, which was horribly dubbed, but I remember it well to this day! XD They were all part of a block of what the local station called "Japanese cartoon power block" LOL

[Snapplemonkey]

The first anime I ever watched was the Hokuto No Ken movie. Was staying with my older brother for a week, he had the entire Manga VHS collection and I decided to watch one while he was out buying food. I was 8 at the time, didn't understand much of what was going on, but the gory blood and punching was awesome.

[Pipp]

After school on channel 3 CardCaptor Sakura, and Digimon.
Saturday mornings SMTV Live Pokemon

But first anime I watch when I knew it was anime was Naruto :)

-Pipp

[Yumene]

Sailor Moon started it all for me, followed by Dragon Ball Z and Pokemon. In that order :D

I remember coming home from school just to watch a episode. I had to set a record timer because they would show while I was in school. lol, I probably still have some of those VHS's in my storage somewhere >.<

[VettieLaurance]

Mine was Digimon, I watched it at my friend’s place. It’s a cool anime to begin with.

[Musamichi]

I'd have to say Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon were the two. After that DBZ came into my life followed by Pokemon, Digimon and Cardcaptors =3
