[SomeGuyNamedKy]

1) FLCL
2) Found it channel surfing
3) Made me love anime

 

[azurawolf]

1) Pokemon
2) Started collecting the cards and playing the games then I watched the anime.
3) I didn't really start watching more anime until many, many years later.

 

[CrysisMcGee]

There were 2. Robotech, and Cowboy Bebop. I got into them both pretty much at the same time.

For the most part, I don't really watch anime because the animation gets choppy and it annoys me.
Of course if I can get into it, I get past it.

 

[S29 Afterlife]

Haha.
1) DBZ.
2) My cousins were watching the Frezia(sp?) saga and i got really attached cause Goku had some badass hair. xP
3)since i started gaming, i haven't been watching TV a lot. WoW and CoD4 is my 2nd main entertainment.
and if i do have enough time to get on the computer when i'm not Naxx'ing, i usually watch Higurashi. My frikkin girlfriend told me to watch it cause "The death scenes make GoW look like the Telletubbies.", so i had to watch it (Stupid flying heads..)

 

[Ph33nix]

1) Cowboy BeeBop,
2) at a camp it was an option to watch it so i said why the hell not
3) yes it did,

 

[Treblaine]

2) I was told it was recommended if you liked The Matrix. Nothing like the matrix but still bloody amazing.
3) oh yes. Ghost in the Shell fan right here.

[Nevar18]

Toonami on Cartoon Network atleast 10 years ago

I just keep falling deeper into the dark pit of random Anime

 

[Del-Toro]

1)Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
2)My cousins were huge fans, and they told me about it.
3)No, I didn't see the whole thing till I got the box set a few years later, for christmas, and didn't see it all until me and a friend marathoned it to celebrate the end of our first year of high school. What followed was a hailstorm of anime, if my memory continues to serve it was, in order, Kannazuki No Miko (this series was the powder, Wing was the spark, the others are the keg), Black Cat, Lucky Star, Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory, Shattered Angels, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Various Hayao Miyazaki works, also Akira, Super Dimension Fortress Macross\Robotech, and most recently Chrono Crusade. Gundam Wing started all of that.

My questions are these: 1) What is the first Anime you ever watched (If you've ever watched an anime), 2) How were you introduced to it, and 3) Did it make you want to watch more anime (Why or Why not)?

1. Sailor Moon.

2. I was twelve years old and randomly flipping through channels one day, when I alighted upon Cartoon Network. I hadn't watched for a while, but I'd stumbled onto the Toonami lineup...directly onto the scene Queen Beryl accuses Zoisite of deliberately disobeying orders to not harm Tuxedo Mask, and kills her for insubordination.

I had never actually seen a cartoon that had such a twist. I watched further, intrigued. I felt saddened by Zoisite's death in Malachite's arms, even though I had no idea who they were or what I was watching. Then came a scene with the Sailor Senshi, of whom I'd osmosed enough pop culture to recognize. Their lines, and the end of the episode, immediately hooked me onto the show.

3. Indirectly. Sailor Moon's original effect was to get me interested in Toonami. The anime I'd credit with introducing me into the medium as a whole are Tenchi Muyo (also Toonami), Ranma 1/2 (anime club), and Sorcerer Hunters (rented at Blockbuster). I think it was mostly the art style that attracted me at first, but I gradually watched enough that the music and characterization aspects started to intrigue me (which I noticed around the time Toonami started running Outlaw Star...).

 

[Seno]

My First animes were: Samurai Pizza Cats, Robotech, Mysterious cities of gold and Astro boy.
all fantastic shows for their day.

Watched them on TV.

Didnt relise they were anime at the time, but i recognised the art style every time a new anime came out. Been watching anime now for about 23 years.

 

[101194]

DBZ or more commmenly know the show that takes ten episodes for one fricken fight.

 

[Blyyr]

My first Anime had to be Dragonball Z, but the first one I actually watched and enjoyed was... Fooly Cooly, or FLCL, and then Cowboy Bebop, now me and my friends group are all into anime, just because we can.

 

[N-Sef]

Patlabor. For the longest time I had no idea what it was, until I researched keywords I remember from the movie. I still love it.

 

[Gardenclaw]

1) Fist of the North star
2) Drunk at a party and it was on in the background but i thought it was pretty cool
3) Yeah, As it turns out loads of friends were into it without me knowing so have borrowed some and it's sweeeeet.

I used to watch both samurai pizza cats and cities of gold. Both were awesome but i never thought of them as anime.
