Your First Anime

[nicholaxxx]

I not only know my first anime, but every anime I've seen in my life (short list, why because of a short life... 14 years)

1 - pokemon
2 - yugioh
3 - beyblade
~insert toy/ card commercial here... about twice, I was 6, LEAVE MEH BEEE~
4 - Inuyasha this is what started the interest
5 - death notethis and number 6 are what started me watching more anime frequently
6 - elfen lied
7 - 7 episodes of lucky star
8 - 5 episodes of trigun (I feel like a horrible person for not finishing it :[)
9 - Karin(chibi vampire)
10 - Bakuretsu Tenshi (Burst Angel)
11 - Rosario + vampire
12 - Rozen maiden

pretty much everything here I've marathoned from number 5 on (they were all on otakucenter, which give viruses, anyone can help me?) I guess you could consider Inuyasha because I recently watched all of them from episode 3 to the second last season (video taped them when I was younger )

Card Captor Sakura, found it on Toonami, I went on a long anime hiatus until Fruits Basket (Don't judge me!)

 

[RanD00M]

1)Princess Mononoke.
2)Saw it at the library my grandmother worked on and though it looked interesting.
3)Not at the time but i am staring to find a love for anime.

 

[drakenabarion]

Akira

1- If you don't know this anime, you have to watch it because it is one of the movies that got anime popular in the U.S.

2- Brother rented it

3- yes and no, I always wanted to be an artist and I enjoy seeing other peoples art.

I got a Japanese Akira special edition DVD from Japan. Best buy ever.


Anyways, if there is anyone who can help with the title of my first anime, I would be most grateful!

Outlaw Star. that was the best man. my friend watched digimon for awhile

 

[Sacman]

1)Dragon Ball Z
2)My cousin was watching it at the time and he persuaded me to do so
3)Not at the time because I didn't know what anime was exactly but I watched Cowboy Bebopon adult swim and that got me interested in anime...

 

[Julianking93]

1. DBZ
2. Not sure, I was 5.
3. No. It made me feel that all other anime was inferior to DBZ. Then I watched Death Note and Gantz.

 

[Superhyperactiveman]

1- 4 words... Tengen... Toppa... Gurren... Lagann... Yeah...

2- I was bored and flipped over the the sci-fi channel, just as the first ep. came on.

3- I was very disturbed by it. It really isn't the best anime to show someone who's never been introduced to it before. You have to kind of work your way up to appreciate its genius. Later, I heard some otaku talking about how awesome it was, and since I was just starting to accept the fact that I was an otaku myself, I decided to give it another chance, since they were so buff on anime. It's now my all-time favorite anime... there are some manga I like more, but no anime...

DBZ man.
Actually Dragonball was my first.
Followed by DBZ, probably the only anime I will ever watch.

 

[spuddyt]

I think pokemon was the first one I ever watched... God knows how long ago, then there was a gap of a year or 2, then I found DBZ, and then there was a gap for a few more years, and then I found Naruto (please don't hate me, I still read that manga)
However found it subbed on the internet, which then opened me up to finding more shounen action style things, and then later, to diversify into other things although I still suspect my experience to be limited (mostly to good stuff)

 

[Booze Zombie]

Dragon Ball Z.

First one I ever seen, ever in the history of anime. I was about 10 years old, it was pretty fun to watch aliens beat the snot out of each other and guys make groaning faces whilst firing particle cannon hand beams.

 

[PsyberGoth]

1. DragonBall Z
2. A kids TV show called "Cheez TV"
3. Yes. It was awesome for an 8 year old.

 

[gemgemchan]

My first would be pokemon.

It randomly came onto tv one day when I was heading downstairs. I asked my siblings "what it is?" and they told me. I never really got into the anime even though everyone at school would be swapping those pokemon cards. But I like to watch the SMTVlive piss out take of them doing a pokemon sketch before the anime started, that was always good for a laugh.

At the time I didn't have a clue what anime was, pokemon was the biggest cartoon in the Uk at the time because I think no-one had experienced anything like that before, especially kids.
After pokemon was released other types of anime was put onto Tv, beyblade, yu-gi-oh etc

 

[Jurassic Rob]

My first anime was also my last.

I watched Death Note after the frankly brilliant film series and I just couldn't get into it. Not trying to start a flame war, it's just not my cup of tea.

 

[Kuchinawa212]

Gundam Wing (ithink and I only watched bits and peices)

Well, it's a show about figting robots and I was a young kid back then. What's better then a bunch of huge robots that fight with huge guns and lightsabers? So intoduced myself

Did it cause me to watch more? No, Outlaw Star did that.

 

[RedFox042]

back when Friday nights on Scifi meant, Anime they showed an episode of Record of Lodoss Wars. after that it was DBZ.

and Akira was in there somewhere, I own and watch it every now and then and its still awesome and it still doesn't make any sense to me.

 

[Jeronus]

1) Sailormoon
2) It was on TV way back when the non cable channels showed cartoons in the morning and after school. Now you're lucky if you have one basic channel that shows cartoons on Saturday morning.
3) It featured cute girls who turned into scantily clad superheroines. They had me at cute girls.
