Pokemon, Yu-gi-oh (If you consider those proper animes) and Dragonball z and its variant and a bit of digimon.
And F**k YEAR Bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo!

What was the first anime you watched?
- Thread starter icame
- Start date
Princess Mononoke. Technically Pokemon then Digimon but I really don't consider those anime really just cartoons. I guess next would be DBZ but that's iffy in my opinion as well. Princess Mononoke was my first look into anime as something more then a cartoon. I think I caught it late on HBO back in the late nineties it really opened me up to anime.
Pokemon/DBZ/Cardcaptors
Watched them all in the horribly dubbed English versions as a kid and I couldn't honestly say which was first. The first anime I watched in the original Japanese with subtitles was Card Captor Sakura and the difference between it and the crap I remembered from my childhood is what sold me on the Subs > Dubs argument.

Damn son, I hope you be trollin'Arehexes said:
My first anime was Teknoman, the Australian dubbed version of Tekkaman Blade. And it was awesome; I only wish that Star (Aki) wasn't so whiney in the first series.
Also related moment of awesome or what the hell:
The villain of Teknoman, Saber, sounds like this (he's the red and black one):

Just think about that for a minute.
Eh to be fair, the original source material gets a lot more respect these days, with a few notorious exceptions.Dark-Dreymer said:
Pokémon, then Digimon, Then Yu-Gi-Oh, Then when Dragonball Z finally hit UIk shores I watched a bit of that but stopped because I had no idea what was going on at the time (The UK Broadcast started slightly into the Android Saga, so we missed the whole explanations we needed). Beyblade was in there somewhere, probably before Yu-Gi-Oh. After that I didn't watch another Anime until I started late last year. Digimon 1-4, Death Note and DragonBall Z Kai all on Disc! ^^

Oh geez.
It's be a toss up between Cowboy Bebop, InuYasha, FLCL, & Deathnote.
Sidenote:This was all after Pokemon. I didn't really consider it to be anime, or was even aware of the existence of the term anime at the time. I Still have Red/Blue-Ruby/Saphire (if that was the right gen.) on VHS all locked up in a dark & scary cave somewhere. Fun stuff, being a kid...

It was either this Dragonballz, Yu Yu Hakusho, Tenchi Muyo, or Rouroni KenshinAlways A Fez said:
Yes..I just listed the old Toonami line-up
Probably Pokemon or Cardcaptors. My friend says theyre not anime, but anime is just animation from Japan and therefore it is.
Ok Calumon I'll take your challenge! YuYu Hakusho. Pokemon. The Calumon show starring Calumon & others. Next question please!
Dammit, that's true for me too, now that I think of it. Oh mang, and that song at the end was great, I can hear it in my head now that I think of it. Excluding that, show wise would be Samurai Pizza Cats, but Original Dragon Ball was the first one I ever watched assiduously.Jim From Accounting said:
Movie wise is either Venus Wars or Ninja Scroll, I can't really remember. When I was about 12, they used to show an anime movie every saturday on Space in Canada(which was incredi-tits), so I'm not sure.
OH! I would also like to state that I grew up watching Princess Mononoke. I saw that movie with my dad at least 16 times and to this day I still have no fucking clue what it was about.
