Your First Anime

[SadakoMoose]

1: Like most Americans of my generation; Sailor Moon
2: Network TV, Saturday mornings.
3: Yes, but we didn't have the internet at the time.

 

[Naheal]

1) Sailor Moon, Robotech, DBZ (On at about the same time
2) Toonami. Eventually moved to watching the Japanese subs.
3) Kinda? I watch similar anime now.

 

[AvsJoe]

Unfortunately off all things, my first anime was Sailor Moon and I loved it back when I was 6 or 7. Then I discovered DBZ.

 

[Kwaren]

That would be Outlaw Star for me.

 

[Doomhammer828]

Sailor Moon.

Go Sailor Scouts

 

[Jerich0]

Rurouni Kenshin.
Adult Swim.
Hell yes, because Samurai Champloo came on after it and i was liked, score!

 

[v3n0mat3]

1.Hmm... I'm gonna say Dragonball... but Project A-Ko, Robot Carnival, Samurai Pizza Cats, Gundam, Voltron, Speed Racer, etc. are all things I've watched around that time, as well.
2.TV
3.Yeah, I liked it. You know, being a young'un and all.

 

[R3dF41c0n]

1) Speed Racer
2) It was on TV at the time (early 90s)
3) The show did get me into anime (and motivate me to learn to drive stick) but I just lost interest in anime in general right around my freshman year of college.

1) Not including dbz, yu-gi-oh, digimon, pokemon an cardcaptor's because when i watched them they were just cartoon's on cartoon network so i had no idea what anime was. so the first one i watched was bleach.

2) I was on a school holiday and noone was going out, so i had nothng to do then i went on the internet and i just clicked on a fight scene for bleach by random and i was hooked.

3) Yea when i watched all the english episodes of bleach, then i went onto naruto which i did'nt like much but i started to watch death note, and that was so amazingly written i started to read the manga for it. now i do not watch anime much but i am loving manga.

Well ignoring sailor moon back when i was like 5 (they showed that at like 3pm in germany) because i cant actually remember it. Also going to ignore Yugioh because that was just a cartoon to me back in the day.
#1 Therefore my first was Witchblade.
#2 Well i had previously read the comics when i was younger, so I decided to watch this. That and a couple of my friends watched anime, and suggested i start watching it.
#3 Yes, after that I asked my friend to recommend some anime. Also previously i was told about Hellsing, so that's the next thing i watched. Then Love Hina. This was just over a year ago, and I am ashamed to say that since then I have watched 14 days worth of anime. A lot of good stuff, all slotted around college. It's also been atleast 200GB of data that i have downloaded.

 

[Arcyde]

1. Dragonball Z or Escaflowne
2. My dad
3. Yes, they got me into anime for a long time. But recently I haven't been watching any.

 

[Cylem]

I watched the final episode of Blue Submarine No. 6 when it aired on Cartoon Network. I was seven. Verg scared the crap outta me then, but I bought the full series a year ago and now Verg is my favorite character.

I didn't even know what anime was at the time. I was eleven when I got a How to Draw Manga book and started watching Inuyasha. It all went downhill from there.

 

[Urgh76]

1. Though I should say things like Digimon or pokemon I will say YuYu Hakusho, Cyborg 009, DBZ.
2. Toonami was awesome and anything on was good at the most part so I watched and I was easily sucked in.
3. Yes but I never knew it was anime before we had internet so I would think they we're cartoons from America but many stations have a bad habit of ending the anime you like when it gets close to coming to closure but I still watch it.
I really wish we could have One Piece back but I'll just watch it with subtitles for now

why?!?!?!?! why do they never finish the series?!?! why?!?!?! i also miss toonami and 1 piece but my first one was pokemon (the new shows are CRAP!!!!!)

 

[Shadowfaze]

1) pokemon.
2)heard people taking about it, so watched it.
3)yes, i ended up watching digimon, then Escaflowne, then Gundam wing.

 

[slyeye]

1. FLCL

2. I was watching adult swim and it came on out of the blue.

3. At the time I found the story interesting, albeit insane, but I didn't know at the time that it was a whole genre. Then I discovered Death Note a few years later and was hooked.

 

[Lusperus]

Dragon Ball

 

[r3lix]

Does Pokemon count? also Digimon and DBZ (Dragon ball Z) [sup] correct me if I appear wrong[/sup]

 

[Grassypuffs]

1) Dragon Ball Z.

2) A few good friends.

3) The only Anime I had ever needed was this. They stole my heart once I heard "DO YOU UNDERSTAAAAAAAAAND?!?!?!?"

 

[herio]

most of the moring tv anamie but the first Anime was this one about a boat/war ship and punch of pirates and an evil government i forgot the name i got into Anime for my love of blood and violence

 

[Jaythulhu]

Though I did not know they were (based from) anime at the time, an odd sci-fi thing called Tranzor Z.

The first anime I watched knowning what anime was had a name like Bionic Boosted Armour Suit Guyvar. Something like that, anyway. Was a long time ago though, and my memory is a bit fuzzy.
