Well I watched a lot of stuff before knowing what anime actually is (like pokemon, kamikaze kaito jeanne, dragonballs and so on), so when I actually knew and choose to watch anime I went with a classic: Cowboy Bebop.
I am not sure if it was a good first choice as it is quite unusual, but heck. After that I watched Ghost in the Shell (movies and series), Elfen Lied and Neon Genesis Evangelion. So yeah, no wonder I watch comedy anime only since then XD

DBZ when I was in Primary School mate. Back when it was 'THE' cool thing of the time, and how many friends you had depended on how much you knew about DBZ...needless to say, I was the most popular kid in ze world....if only for the length of the fad.
It was a fad? Dammit...

Robotech was my first anime. Once it and DBZ came into my life I was not the same child.

I suppose technically it'd be either The Little Prince, Kimba the White Lion, or this other show about a kid and his big white dog; of course I was only about 6 or 7 at the time and didn't even know what anime was.

Yeah Cowboy Bebop was the first anime I took 'seriously'
as in not Pokemon, Yu-gi-oh, oh lol look that's pretty cool but still really corny-esque. Anime.

Full Metal Alchemist Rekindled that feeling of taking a story seriously also.
I didn't know what to expect of it but I wasn't disappointed.

Hard.Fucking.Core.
I didn't even hear about Urotsukidoji until I was into my 20s, and I'd sooner watch 2 girls 1 cup again than try to finish it.

my first one was probly Digimon, although i didnt even know the word anime at that point, so i dont really know if it counts.

My first real anime was Hellsing, followed shortly by Excel saga.

Dragon Ball Z I suppose. Although the first one I actually enjoyed was Gundam Wing. My brother was into DBZ. But I'm more of a plot-focused person and the plot of DBZ (what little there was) moved at far too glacial a pace to keep my interest.

Gundam wing on toonami a long while back. Then I didn't watch any for a few years then I found some streaming sites and watched Mobile Suit Gundam, Gundam Seed, and a few obscure anime shows (mostly revolving around Mecha).

Akira, followed by Ninja Scroll and Ghost in the Shell. I know my classics. :p
Same here.

Though, watching Akira at age ten probably wasn't the best thing to do. That movie scared the shit out of me so bad that I dared not touch it for the following 2 years.

Then agian, it was nice baptism by fire.

InuYasha. I thought it was the shit until I realized that it was redundant and virtually never-ending.

The first 2 anime i watched were FLCL and Death Note. I'm not sure which one would be the first (started death note first, finished FLCL first). That isn't including the ones i watched as a child.

Pokemon, Sailor Moon, Digimon, a little bit of YuGiOh. I never really focused on any except Pokemon I think, and maybe Sailor Moon.

...Does Card Captors count? I used to watch that, even though I didn't like it that much.

Haruhi Suzumiya was my first "proper" anime that I got into, and pretty much the only one.

I saw Sailor Moon, Pokemon, and Digimon when i was younger, but since i didn't know they were anime, those don't count. But the very first anime i was aware that i did watch (knowing it was an anime) has to definitely be MAR
