Your First Anime

[Kron_the_mad wants to be deleted]

1) fist of the north star
2) it was late there was nothing else on tv worth watching (back when we had 4 channels)
3) yes, saw a bunch of mecha anime that i cant find or remember the name of, ninja scroll and too much studio ghibli.... these days its mostly gonzo titles and classic manga

Technically it was pokemon, but that doesnt really count, so Tenchi Muyo. My friend showed it to me when I was but 10yrs old. I didnt want to have anything to do with it for another 8 years because I realised what said medium meant to some VERY disgusting people on the internet...when i was 10.

 

[Zeetchmen]

Not 100% sure, I know it was a toonami one

Eihter Kenshin or Outlaw Star, two of my all time favorites

 

[randomsix]

Gundam Wing and DBZ through the greatness that was Toonami.

 

[bushwhacker2k]

1. Speed Racer
2. I watched it when I was 5
3. Err, don't remember...

Honestly first anime I can remember seriously watching was DBZ, then Trigun, then Rurouni Kenshin.

1-Love Hina

Love Hina was my first also.

Ken Akumatsu know what young guys want.

LOTS OF HAREM!

 

[foxlovingfreak]

1 Speed Racer
2 My babysitter had cartoon network on all the time so I would watch it.
3 Over Time I got in to other anime Dragon Ball Z Pokemon Yu-Gi-Oh etc but I probally would have gotten into the other stuff anyway even If I didn't see speed racer.

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

1) Devil Man.
2) Saw it on Sci-Fi when I was a tyke.
3) I was damaged before I watched it, so hell yes.

My first anime series was (big surprise) the Pokemon TV show. Right before Sailor Moon (yeah, yeah, burn me all ya like).
Before that, however, I saw Totoro by Hayao Miyazaki. That was the anime for me at the time. I was at a friend's and he said we should watch it. We did, and I was impressed.

 

[Contun]

YOU'RE?

*Facepalm* crap...the thread is doomed now isn't it...

Edit: Never mind, figured out that I could change the subject/title.

Don't worry man, I had the exact problem with my "You're Awesome" thread, they made sure I knew I had made the mistake...

My first Anime was Dragon Ball Z when I was very young...

 

[Et3rnalLegend64]

1) Either Gundam Wing or Dragonball Z
2) My cousin had Cartoon Network), I didn't. We'd watch Toonami at his place. He'd save episodes onto VHS for me.
3) Definitely. Cue running to the TV every day after school for my anime.

Edit: Now that I think about it, it was probably Pokemon or Sailor Moon (yes, really). These 4 were definitely my firsts, and Pokemon didn't show on Cartoon Network back then so I could actually watch it.

 

[Spitfire175]

1) death note.
2) A friend of mine forced me to watch an episode.
3) Short:no
Long: NO! It was the most agonising pieve of video I've seen. The anime style of drawing and animating gives me a headache. Also I hated the Japanese soundtrack. If something, it made sure I'll never watch any anime for a veeery long time.

 

[The Great JT]

1. Speed Racer (yeah, I said it)
2. Dunno, I was real young. Mighta just caught it while clicking around.
3. Yes, but I didn't know it at the time.

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

The anime that made me want to watch more was Gundam Wing Zero. I loved it. Who doesn't love giant robots fighting one another? In space no less? The show impacted me so much (nerdiness coming) that every male character I have ever named since the finale I have named Hiro (after the protagonist, Heero Yuy).

 

[Phantomxd]

1) Outlaw Star
2) Mates place self proclamied "anime whore"
3) made me realise cartoons arnt just ment to be mindless crap

I cant get it into ur heads how good it is!!

 

[Casual Shinji]

There were a lot of japanese animated kids shows when I was little. I don't mean Pokemon or any of that other commercialized sh*t. But shows like The Wizard of Oz, The Swiss Family Robinson, Maple Town, Pinocchio, Candy and many others. I can't remember wich was the actual first one, though.

 

[BakaSmurf]

1) Gundam Wing
2) My auntie would put it on for me whenever she babysat me
3) I was a little kid, there were giant robots blowing each other up, how couldn't I like it?

 

[Cryfear101]

1] Dragonball Z
2] Adverts
3] Yes GITS.

 

[Rawker]

i used to watch toonami in fourth grade.

 

[Meado]

1) Trigun.
2) Back when I first started getting into TGWTG [http://www.thatguywiththeglasses.com/], I was working my way through the archives and came across an extremely positive review of Trigun. I'd considered getting into anime for a long time, but had been clueless as to where to start as I knew that viewing a bad one first would put me off the whole thing. The review was enough to peak my interest in the series, and it spiraled from there.
3) Yes, I was very interested in seeing more, though Trigun had little to do with that. I was just looking for a stepping stone into the anime scene.
