I apologize if this thread's already been done...
For me it was Ronin Warriors back in grade school
-
Tosho Daimos. It started my affinity for Super Robot shows. I wacthed it when I was 5 but the episode where Daimos was almost defeated and crushed by that two-headed mech still plays clearly in my mind. They played it again 6 years ago on local TV and I still watched it after I came home from univ. :P
-
The first anime I've ever watched was Spirited Away. Yes, I am a late bloomer and it was my dad who introduced me to the world of anime.
-
Doraemon, but it was in cantonese. :lol: Shortly after that I got into Samurai Pizza Cats. o/
-
Ranma 1/2. XD
That was AGES ago! XD
-
Fist of the North Star!
I feel like such an old man...
-
The first Anime I watched was Sailor moon. I couldn't get enough of it when I was little.
-
Tenchi Muyo! was the first anime series I watched by myself. The first anime movie I watched was Akira.
-
The first Anime I watched was Sailor moon. I couldn't get enough of it when I was little.
It was "Sailor Moon" for me too! :heart:
MOON PRISM POWER~!
-
Wonderful Adventure of Nils (ニルスのふしぎな旅 / Nils Holgerssons underbara resa genom Sverige) or Tao Tao.
I didn't know those series had anything to do with Japan though. So I didn't know they were anime.
The first anime where I heard Japanese language was Inu-Yasha in 2000.
-
Pokemon and Love Hina.
edit:
Wonderful Adventure of Nils (ニルスのふしぎな旅 / Nils Holgerssons underbara resa genom Sverige) or Tao Tao.
I didn't know those series had anything to do with Japan though. So I didn't know they were anime.
Actually those two are my first shows too. Love Hina was the first show that I downloaded.
-
The first anime I watched was either Macross or Bubblegum Crisis. I have been hooked in anime ever since!
-
Hmmm well.. if I remember correctly, the first anime I watched when I was a kid was Dr. Slump. Then I moved on to watch Doraemon :)
-
The first anime I watched as a kid? I don't think I can remember, especially since I wasn't aware that anything I saw might have been from Japan. Maybe Voltron or Tranzor Z if those are anime.
The first stuff that really caught my attention as anime were programs on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. I think Cowboy Bebop, Inuyasha, and Outlaw Star were the main ones. Dragon Ball (Z) and some other stuff that aired regularly about 2-3 years ago may have been in there, too.
-
I think it was robotech or some shit when I was like 4 o_o
-
Street Fighter 2 Animated Movie, Akira, Wings of Honneamise.
Watched some stuff on TV before but can't really remember what was first.... (http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/4594/unsure9ef.gif)
-
Of course the one and only, Naruto! It's very exciting and worthy watching ( before the filler come at the later episode...)
-
wow naruto was your first you must be quite young.
myne was Speed Racer of course ^_^
-
umm...pokemon and digimon? hahaha I still like Digimon, but I only like Pikachu from Pokemon(i'm such a geek...)
-
First one I saw was Guyver. It was the first time I had ever seen blood in a animated show. Blew my damn mind.
-
Sailor Moon~! I wanted to be just like her! But when I realized what an idiot she was I changed my mind *chu
-
the first series i actively remember was Secret of Blue Water back in 90 or 91. the first series i remember catching in the states though was actually Sailor Moon when it was broadcast in the morning before school.
-
umm...pokemon and digimon? hahaha I still like Digimon, but I only like Pikachu from Pokemon(i'm such a geek...)
LOL that's cool. My friend is 10 years older and he bought all the Pokemon games, even the N64 one XD
I guess first I saw was Sailor Moon or Dragonball. And I only got hooked on anime and Jpop 5 years later :lol:
-
I suppose i forgot to mention that i didnt know Ronin Warriors was anime...
I guess the first anime I saw that I knew was anime was Evangelion
-
Sailormoon, of course! I was like 10 years old or something XD
My fave character was Mizuno Ami/Sailor Mercury *^_^*
They've also showed some ooooold series like Candy Candy and Hana no Ko Lunlun on TV back then, but I can't remember if I liked them that much :3
The 1st anime I've downloaded was NANA but I stopped watching at maybe 5-6th ep.
-
there was this jap anime i watched years ago named vandread.. wonder if it's still popular anot..
-
Hokuto no Ken [ Fist of the North Star ]
I was like 6 ( '95 ), watched it in my older cousins bedroom when he wasn't around. I used to go around yelling "WATATATATATATATAH~" and throw a billion punches at my older cousin.
So, not much different from today. XD
-
The very very first anime i remember watching on TV as a kid (back when dinosaurs still walked the earth..) was Mazinger Z (a.k.a Tranzor Z in da U.S), based on the manga from the master Go Nagai.
I also remember that every single episode had the exact same structure (i learned much later that this was normal for any japanese stuff made for the younger viewers), like :
_ "Oh, let's all have a picnic!"
_ "Oh yeah! good idea!"
_ "Oh, this sandwich is so good!"
_ "Wait, what is this ??"
_ "Aaaah! it's one of those evil giant robot monsters atacking us!!!"
_ "Aaaaa! we're doomed!"
_ "No! look, it's... Mazinger Z!"
_ "Ahah! leave it all to me. i'll destroy this evil robot! Come here, you fool!"
SLASH! BOOM! WIZZZZZ! ROCKET PUNCH! BLAM! CRUNCH!
_ "Ahah! victory is mine!!!"
_ "Oooh, thank you Mazinger Z..."
... :sweatdrop:
Still, as a kid, i was totally hooked on that shit! :P
-
Dragonball Z! yeah, goku is my favourite all time hero. I like the series very much, but the GT series is not good as the Z one. I really glad if they rebroadcast the episodes.
-
Gundam Wing and Pokemon. :lol:
-
DBZ!!
-
Astroboy. :cry:
-
pokemon??
-
robotech and sailor moon!
-
I probably saw a lot of odd animes when I was younger. Animes meant for very young kids were always shown on early morning shows when I was younger. All dubbed of course, have no clue what any of them were XD
First anime I watched and knew it was an anime, Sailor Moon. Dubbed. Into Swedish. Voice acting was pretty good, actually XD;;
-
Old School- Gatchaman aka Battle of the Planets aka G-Force
-
the earliest I remmebered was Doraemon. I was a fanatic at that time aged 4 - 11. I had like 60 manga volumes of it. But I lost all of them when I moved.
-
absolutely doraemon...
you know... doraemon has been aired for more than 10 years in my country
i wonder why nobita is still in junior high till now :D

Same with me:) I watched anime when I was little. I don't know those english names and remember japanese names.
But I think my first "I know this is anime" -anime was Pokemon, Digimon and Magic Nights Rayearth, then came Sailor Moon (with Swedish dubbs):D
-
Here he comes.. here comes Speed Racer. Followed by a mix of stuff, most notably being, of course, Sailor Moon.
-
my first was DBZ...probablylike alot of other people
-
Doraemon
-
akira.
the first series was sailor moon, weak dubbed version that they showed on USA in the mornings. my friends used to make fun of me cus i watched/taped it every morning... i remember crying when they showed the ep where tuxedo mask dies...
-
Macross
-
It could be Dr. Slump. I was like 3-4.
-
... then came Sailor Moon (with Swedish dubbs):D
Haha! Huzzah *high fives* XD
-
there was this jap anime i watched years ago named vandread.. wonder if it's still popular anot..
lol...Thats one of my favorites!
Looks like I'll have to change my answer again...I forgot about all the americanized anime I watched on WB so the first ones I saw that I knew were anime were Cardcaptor Sakura and Escaflowne.
"Cardcaptors! A mystic adventure! Cardcaptors! A quest for all time!"
XD
-
hmm. It would have to have been Sailor Moon or Pokemon. I think Sailor Moon was first, because I remember some kids in one of my classes in elementary school drawing a picture of Sailor Moon on the white board and wanting to see the show.
-
DragonBallZ, like a week ago
-
I think my first was Metropolis. It was on Channel 4 one night and I didn't intend to watch it but I ended up glued to the screen. It was so pretty and moving and disturbing all at the same time.
-
a week ago? where've you been? :o
but mine is.....dragonball i believe
-
Sailormoon. Dubbed version. *shudders*
-
DragonBall Z, from start to finish. Still have the original Videos until know, old-shool all the way!!!
-
I remember my friend once showed me Sailor moon, and I hated it XD. I was like, "ewwwwwww". And the first anime I ever saw was Pokemon. I have half the first set on VHS. And I own most of the GB[A] games.
-
you play pokemon games??? it's like....the same thing, just changed the name, face and pokemon u get everytime.....kind of boring once u've played 2-3 series
-
no, but I used to XD. I own all the GB[A] games except Red. And we gave Blue to our cousin for his Yellow. And we lost our Silver and Gold.
-
VOltron
-
First anime......kinda far back for me to try and remember, but.........it might have been one called "Starvengers", a dubbed version of an early Getter Robo anime.
-
So does Robotech count as an Anime? If so that was my first, otherwise it's Akira, which took me a few times through to figure out. :)
-
Voltes V, when I was around 5-6 years old. It was the greatest series ever. I just rewatched the series in DVD recently, my advice: don't watch anything you feel nostalgic to. More than likely it'll ruin it XD
-
The first anime I remember seeing is Saint Seiya
-
Honestly? It was likely some porn movie where monsters did naughty and unnatural things to little girls in a blown up Tokyo. I saw a lot of those movies as a kid O.o The first anime I remember with an actual name is Sailor Moon. Heh.
-
The first anime..herm...Zettai Muteki Raijin Oh(The Matchless Raijin Oh).I watched it when I was 8 years old:pen_whirl:.It's bout primary school's boys and girls who fight with the 5 dimension demon used robot.I think this anime is the one of the yuusha series
-
The first anime I saw was Sailor Moon. I was 7 when the dub first came out XD I still have dolls and junk from 1995, too :lol:
-
Ninku. I loved it.
-
well before I knew it was anime, I watched the hell outta Robotech. Later I found out it was a bastardization of other anime titles. Then I started liking anime. After watching GI Joe and Transformers where tons of people are shooting at each other and no one gets hit or killed. Or where planes explode and pilots always bail out instantly it was freaky to see people die and blow up in Robotech. Horray for violence!
-
The first one was Captain Future, then Saber Rider. But this time we thought, these were american, 'cause the synchros came from us-version.
First Anime, I knew, that it is one : Sailormoon. But couldn't say someone, in germany its called a girls anime:oops:...but I'm not interested, what people say :p I watch, what I like.
-
of course ive seen sailor moon and such on cartoon, but i really dont consider it anime now that its been aired on American TV with english voices. The first "real" anime i watched was Ai Yori Aoishi, it is also my favorite.
-
The US-version of Sailormoon has got complete new characternames, when I'm right.
In Germany are only the japanese names spoken in english way. Usagi=Bunny, Rei=Ray
I could these syncho-studios :hits with chair: ...most german synchros are bad.
TV-senders are the same, they cut animes like OnePiece and Inuyasha for afternoon-program...
-
Akira
Looooong ago....
I feel old now :(
-
Can Voltron be considered an anime?
-
Maybe Akira? I remember thinking "NC-17 cartoons!?!? no way?!?!"
-
Speed Racer is the first one i can remember from when i was a little kid
-
Vampire Hunter D probably
-
Speed Racer was first, but I didn't get into anime until my first mecha series: Gigantor.
-
well if you count the original robotech in 82-83 then that would be the one or even voltron...
the first japanese language anime i remember was Hokuto no ken (Fist of the northstar) 86 no subs or anything but it was so cool though... then was vampire hunter d
-
probably "ampanman". I grew up in japan and when i was little that wasa popular show for kids.
-
Sailor Moon, but I didn't really get into anime until watching Ayashi no Ceres.
-
Wow, that was a looong time ago....before i knew i was watching anime i first saw Candy candy.
When i started to get into those things it was Saber Marionette J
-
Ranmaaaaa! definitely a classic and all time favorite
-
Fist of the North Star then followed shortly by The Legend of the Four Kings which came on SciFi channel. This was 10 (?) years ago...
-
Voltes V i guess very old school though but it really rocks!!! after thaw .ve watched daimos!!! those are the first animes came into our country..:)
-
I think it was Sailor Moon dubbed to swedish XD
But the first anime that got me to be a fan where BECK
-
Maybe it's Dragon Ball Z
-
erm.. I dont remember it clearly.. but it's either Doraemon or Sailor Moon :D
-
i think its doraemon and saint seiya ^^
-
Akira was the first anime movie i saw at the theatres, and then around the same time, i saw fist of the north star, and ranma. those are the some of the first animes i saw. still good to this day :)
-
i think my first anime was the show where the character was this redbean pastery superhero, after that i think i started watching transformers and dragonball.
-
SlamDunk. Was back in countryside. Cousin was watching it vigorously. So i took a glimce and fell in love with basketball ever since xD
-
hmm, mine was Naruto.. got it from a friend :)
(although, I watched DragonballZ & Pokemon as a kid, but I didn't realise it was animé)
-
Akira, like most of the people in my country :)
-
Let's see....early 80's it was Gatchaman (aka Battle of the Planets), Galaxy Express 999 and Macross.
Flash forward to the mid to late 80's, I was exposed to newer anime of the time; stuff like Bubblegum Crisis, Grandzort, Ranma 1/2, Venus Wars, Saint Seiya, Dirty Pair and Five Star Stories.
I still prefer anime from the 80's and early 90's. I think most anime nowadays is shit. Not all of it, though.
-
Akira, in high school. I think about all the money that I'd have today if I'd never seen that film.. I never would have joined that anime movie club columbia house thing.. I never would have obsessively bought all the Bebop, Evangelion, Trigun, Card Captor Sakura, Gundam, Chobits, etc etc etc.. never would have started listening to Jpop, or buying manga... But, I'd probably be obsessing over something else, right? At least these obsessions are fun. ^_^

rofl -- i know the feeling. i think anime spawned my love of swords, hence, my sword collection. argh. ah well, i enjoy it, so i'm happy :)
-
i think my first anime was either ranma 1/2 or gunbuster... dunno, my memory is all foggy.
-
definitely Saint seiya! or does it spell this way? lol 圣斗士 星失..cant really rem..but my fav is ranma and naruto
-
my first anime was sailor moon but I watched this involuntarily. my first anime which I watched by choice was neon genesis evangelion.
-
BGC, I was surprised how good the music was
-
Now this is an interesting topic for me.
Originally, I had wanted to say `Star Blazers' and `Battle of the Planets'.
But then I realised that this is not true - kinda.
The first anime that I watched were `Astro Boy', `Kimba the White Lion', and `Gigantor'. The only problem is.... is that I don't remember!!! :ONcry:
My mother told me that these were the first, but I actually don't remember them. But this has to be true because I actually remembered the theme songs to them even though I don't remember the shows themselves!!! :ONfrustrated:
I used to jump around and sing along with the shows around the house when they came on.
Then years later, I bought a cd with cartoon theme songs in it and they had the `Astro Boy' and `Gigantor' themes. And just before each song began, I had already started the sing the songs!
So yep, it's true, these were the first 3 animes that I actually watched. :)
-
Ghost in the shell then Sailor moon and then Evangelion...
-
Inuyasha, no wonder I hate anime now. >o>
-
Wow i cant remember which one i watched first but show wise i believe teknoman was first, it was called tekkaman in japan, great show oldschool, here's a pic:
(http://i16.tinypic.com/2hq6qgh.jpg)
After that either DBZ or Ronin Warriors show wise.
Movie wise would have to be akira or ghost in the shell.
-
Oh wait...!!!
Akira was the first anime I watched when I knew it was an anime, but I had a tape as a kid of the dubbed Star Blazers/Starship Yamato (still got it actually) and I remember really liking the start but not liking the ending :(
-
What was the first anime i watched?
maybe my old anime childhood
DORAEMON!!
-
i think the first was dragonball ^^
-
yeah me too the first was dragonball when goku fight with RR and piccolo
-
The first ever was probably Samurai Pizza cats, but I really began to like anime when I saw Dragonball Z.
-
Pretty sure it was Robotech, Astroboy and Voltron (all turned to english) on local TV channel. So roboty~ :P
But first time I actually woke up and separated "anime" from "cartoons" was from my cousin. Which introduced me to stuff like Dragon Ball, Laputa, Totoro, City Hunter, Crying Freeman, Bubble Gum Crisis... etc.
Kids now are so lucky, with the net. Before, I'd nearly need to kill just to get some episodes of Hello Kitty!!?!~ :hits with chair:
Oh, here's a link for reminiscing (think I got it from this forum!):
http://www.retrojunk.com/list_tvshows.php
-
Sailor Moon back when I was 6. But as for anime that wasn't on tv, Chobits
-
For me it was Mysterious Cities of Gold, Ulysses 31 and Thundercats.
They are all kind of on the line though as they were joint projects with western TV stations.
Proper anime was Dominion Tank Police.
-
Star Blazers, hince my username.
-
First anime would be Robotech.
-
First anime that I watched was Astro Boy, but I had no idea what anime was way back then.
The first anime that I watched that I knew was anime was Sailor Moon. >.>
-
I don´t know if it really is the first I watched, but Dragon Ball is the first I can remember watching.
-
BOTUTESU PAYBUNI - Voltes V
I think when i was watching this, they also showed Shaider and Kamen Rider Black (and Bioman/Maskman, i think). Back then i was more of a metal hero/super sentai fan than an anime fan. It wasnt until Ghost Fighter (Yu Yu Hakusho) came out that i started looking for other anime.
-
i remember watching sailormoon back in the philippines and i think everyone (or atleast everyone that was watching sailormoon back then- which was me and all the girls in my grade [haha i was the only guy watching this]) realized after a while(well we werent that informed in terms of sexuality back then) that uranus and neptune were lesbians.
the funny thing is that, few years ago, i watched the english dubbed version of sailor moon on ytv and they had something completely stupid made up as an explanation on why uranus and neptune are close (sorry i dont remember but i do remember it being stupid).
-
Ninku :lol:
-
Naruto. (a couple of years ago I also watched Pokémon & DBZ but I don't count those. I didn't even knew that was animé)
-
I saw about ten minutes of Nausicaa on TV when I was really little and didn't find out what it actually was for yeeaaars. It was worth it though!
The first and only series I really got into was Evangelion in middle school. I bought the tapes (mostly dubbed xD) for like 30 dollars a pop. What a huge rip off anime used to be.
-
I think it's Doraemon, when I was still about 6-7 years old :) they still show that on my local TV every sunday O_o
but I really got into anime thanks to Evangelion.
-
The very first ... I belive it was transformers but there people that told me Transformers wasn't an anime, I can't say for sure because I was too young to remember.
I saw Zillion when I was a lot young too, but only one episode and I don't remeber a thing, so I'm not sure it counts.
The one I'd say I remeber well is Akira, which I hated. But thankfully that didn't made me hate animes at all, I've always been kind of open minded, so when I saw an anime I liked I was hooked into this like crazy.
The first anime I liked like hell was Saint Seiya.
-
Doraemon (i think its that one character that's blue and can pull stuffs out of its pouch) i don't think i should count this one since, i didn't really understand what they were doing, and DragonBall. At first, i didn't like dragonball cause, to me, the graphics look crappy.. but then i got into it.
-
Might be Gundam or Dragonball Z but I remember the first fansubbed divx video that I've watched was Love Hina.
-
Mine was Doraemon.
I remember I was in the 4th Grade, the same grade as Nobita. I graduated from college now, while he's stuck at the 4th grade :D
-
:pen_eat: Me too. Doraemon is my favourite even now.
-
I can't really remember what is the 1st anime i watched but if 'm not wrong it is Doraemon
-
I think my first anime was Berserk
-
Mine was Saint Seiya and I still love it to this day. Can't way for them to complete the OVAs
-
i think it was rurouni kenshin
-
Initial D :panda_shifty:
But that's not what got me started on anime. It was GTO. :ONwahaha:
-
Voltes V or DBZ can't remeber...
-
I remember... my first anime was Astro Boy in the tv... when I was 4-6 years old...
-
boi itz not hard to remember lol it was DBZ then Inyuasha
-
DBZ Yu Yu Hakusho some old ones and Saamurai X which is a very good anime series..
-
the first anime that i watched,i think dash yankuro......story about car toys that very powerfull............
-
yu yu hakusho are the good anime????
-
First anime i watch i think is love hina
-
Doraemon lol
-
Doraemon lol
Lol same. After that was probably Transformers, then the highly overrated DBZ.
-
Full Metal Alchemist
had a friend explain it to me and it didnt make sense with all the sacrifices XD so i went and watched it
-
You know, I'm sure it was some kind of demon porn movie O.o But the first one that I actually remember and knew of as anime was probably Sailor Moon. Haha.
-
Voltron
-
same here.. first anime watch is some weird ghost hentai.. later addicted to dash yankuro.. play tamiya mini 4wd cars also.. good child experience..
-
the first one... maybe transformers??? but the first i know it was anime was HEIDI XD oh yeah, they still programing that with candy candy ¬¬ ... anyway, the first anime i really enjoy was cobra ^^ i used to watch that like 7 am before scholl.
-
Definitely Doraemon is my first anime watched
-
I think the first anime I ever watched was Fushigi Yugi...a friend of mines lent me her vhs collection and I remember getting addicted ^^
-
huhu.. doraemon? i watched it after dash yankuro, a mecha anime-> can turn his bike into human form mecha,sailormoon,cardcaptor sakura, lately i watch doraemon again.. been air on tv(for the 3rd time)..
-
Astro Boy, Mazinger Z, Getter Robo, Choudenji Machine Voltes V, Great Mazinger...
Damn I miss those anime!
-
hmmm... I got to say either Dragonball or Sailormoon, but when I watch it back then when it first appeared on TV, I believed these shows were made in America... :ONwahaha: also, i never realize what anime was until I got into it in high shool... I can't believe I was such a anime noob :ONerr:
-
mmm, the first anime i see was Arbegas, yes pretty old, but the one what catch my atention was Ninja scroll
-
When I was a kid, I really don't know the diff. between an anime and cartoons. As long as I can remember, Not sure thou, between Macross and Voltes V.
-
Voltes V! Mazinger Z! boo yah! Big Robots! Big Monsters! Big Fun!
-
Actually ... I don't remember .. XD .. i think .. was maybe .. Sailor Moon? XD ..
-
mm im not sure i think it was Neon Genesis Evangelion not sure tho
-
err .. probably dragonballz then after a while i watched naruto!
-
mine would be gundam wing and it was dubbed in chinese that time
-
Speed Racer, as a dub when I was really young but the first real stuff was Kimagure Orange Road, grabbed via satellite, and loaned on VHS, and back in the late 80s when I saw this I had no clue what they were saying, but it was still fun.
-
is thunder cats anime? cuz if it is, dat has got to be my first anime i watchted
other than that i gotta say dragon ball z started me as an active anime watcher
dbz mite not be the best anime out there but i think it started out a lot of people
-
ggg, my first anime was sailormoon of course +)
-
Probably a tossup between Doraemon and Sailormoon. It's too long since I was a kid, can't remember which one.
Although my first conscious foray into anime-dom was probably Pokemon (it was on tv ALL the time) or was it Digimon? Hmm, probably Digimon. XD
-
There were some that I don't remember anymore, so the only one that stands out for me is Doraemon. I grew up with anime & manga since my dad is Japanese and he liked me being into that stuff ^^
-
First anime was Dragon Ball Z oooh yea XD. I was at my cousin's house and he wanted to show us an episode of it. We turned off the lights so all i remember is blinding and flashing lights :D. It was awesome
-
the first that i actually watched seriously was sailor moon...the us dubbed version though. always had the hots for sailor mercury, haha
-
Let's see.......the first film I watched where I knew it was anime was probably Laputa. It was the perfect introduction to anime. :D
I had seen other anime films/programmes, but I didn't know they where anime.
-
I think the first anime I've watched would probably be Astroboy. :ONbingo: :ONbingo:
-
Mine was Ninja Scroll, was hooked ever since
-
Let's see. It was sailor moon as I remember. (haha!)
-
don't really remember but it should be dragon ball, or sailor moon or slam dunk XD, then i watched sakura card captor (that anime was so cute)and the first movie was cowboy bebop or ghost in the shell
-
Sailor Moon, with my sisters and aunts. don't ask.
-
I believe its..... Macross? (Robotech in us)
-
thinking it was vampire hunter d. first time seeing animated blood for me then, got me hooked to anime.
-
I'd have to say Voltes V but I believe Dragon Ball was the First ANIME I've watched.
-
well for me would havta be Naruto, actually nvm, probbaly sailormoon, kinda gay but w.e! i watched it before school!
-
Dragon ball on tv and from asian video stores. The first one i downloaded was prince of tennis.
-
Hmm.. my first would definately have to be Dragon Ball... then probably Ronin Warriors right after. I didn't get completely hooked into the anime world until Hikaru No Go though. :w00t:
-
the old ASTROBOY and CANDY CANDY. yeah, i'm that old. :imdead:
-
Doraemon, Sailor Moon & Candy Candy. But I think my first would be Doraemon though. Because I've been collecting the complete manga series since I was 3 o__O.
-
Maybe Dragonball Z
-
The first anime that I watched that I knew was Anime was Princess Mononoke which a friend lent to me. I actually had a copy of (and watched) Spirited Away but didn't realise it was Anime.
If I think back though it would've been Pokemon on SMTV (oh, I loved that show SMTV not Pokemon), Digimon (better than Pokemon) and Cardcaptors.
-
Mine is Dragonball when I was 18
-
hmm.. difficult to remember but probably transformers(original series dubbed), which i watched when i was very young, cuz my brothers who were a lot older than me watched it.
very little at the time so can't really give an age...5?6?
-
dragonball and voltes V when i was 5
-
Sailor Moon at age 6
=]
-
Astro Boy
-
mine was Urotsukidoji-Legend of the Overfiend
12 years ago
-
Voltron lion force.
-
Can't really remember, probably doraemon at age 7.
-
The first full one I saw would have been Evangelion. However before that I did see few episodes of DragonBall Z, Salior moon and there was this other one but it is long lost in my memories.
-
I have no idea ..... I grow up in anime ~
the one I can remember is "Cat's Eye" (1983, according to Uta Doki ... sang by Gomaki) XD ..... the one I saw is probably a re-run .....
EDIT : YAY !!!! 600th POST !!!!!
-
Speed Racer. XDXD
Back then I didn't even know what anime was or that it came from Japan . .
-
mazingerZ
-
i guess it was speed racer or Heidi? well but the first i saw knowing it was an anime was Dragon Ball ("bola de dragon" in the crappy spanish translation)
-
I watched..... Doraemon when I was 5 years old. Back then and still is now I guess Anime is big in the country. Doraemon was the first anime fix on Sunday morning before church XD after that there's a bunch coming like Dragon Ball, Magical Tea Pot and Ribbon no Kishi, etc.
-
Do the 'Samurai Pizza Cats' count as anime? Otherwise I wouldn't know..
-
Doraemon FTW! Probably watched when I was around 4-5 years old with Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon as follow ups
-
my first anime was tenchi muyo.
kiyone :wub:
-
Doremon :D
and i was 5 ..
pretty sure i watch some before then but cant remember ..
-
I think it was Shoukoujo Sara (A Little Princess Sara). A watched many before I started to go to school, I don't know what was first.
-
The absolute first was pokemon, but the one I count that drownd me in the otaku/anime/japan world is Genshiken.
-
I realized just a while ago my first anime was alfred j kwak.
This was a big dutch / Japanese cooperation. I never knew it was japanese until a while ago
The story was made by herman van veen :)
-
The very first before I even knew what anime was was 'nausicca vally of the wind' or however you spell it. This was an OLD import and it was on tv. Way before a real release. I am talking when I was like 10 or something. I am 31 now :) so yea. Then after that it was Akira, I think the first release. Late 80's? Early 90's? I was like whoa!! cartoon boobies. I was early teen then as well! It was awesome!
-
I think mine was Detective Conan (Meitantei Conan?)..soooo long ago...XD
-
hi
someone mentioned
Wonderful Adventure of Nils and Candy Candy were my very first anime to watch,
after that i remember dragonball.
my first anime that i downloaded was Snow Queen.
-
The probably first cartoon as knew was an "anime" I watched is "Attack No. 1" (in my country called "Mila superstar") but there are several other "anime" like Samurai Pizza Cats I watched before but didn't know they are from Japan or something like that... so I dunno what exactly the first anime is because I was too young to remember olol.
-
Sailor Moon when I was like 8 or something. I called it "specially drawn cartoons" cause I could tell it apart from the regular cartoons (dunno how. =S)
I also watched Pokémon when it came a few years later, if you call that an anime.
The first i anime watched when I really know that it was an anime, was... hm... what was it again... arghh...
I think it was Peach Girl actually. XD
-
I think the first one I watched was Yu Yu Hakusho. Oh classic Adult Swim...
-
I saw Sailor Moon when I was still a teenager and never knew about anime..
that all changed when I watched Ghost in the Shell
-
mine was Ribbon no kishi... no, not the musical, the real one. And I was about four and fell in love with it. Then it was Nausica and a bunch of other studio gibli stuff like Kiki's delivery service and others whose names I can't recall right now.
Then of course, just like any other normal little girl I became somewhat addicted to Sailor Moon. My fave was sailor Uranus. Not just cause of the name XD but she had a freakin sword! Everyone else had those wimpy little rods, she had a freakin sabre!
Then it was Shin chan and Pokemon, Digimon and other 10 year old stuff (tenish.. not exactly ten... maybe 12... nah not that old.. but I was into them as soon as they came out)
also, did I mention care bears and my little pony there? I was ga ga over them as a todler! Also Barbie ads XD since she had no movies when I was a kid. Then I just watched Nick and Disney toons as well as loony tunes. God knows how many times I've seen Fantasia and Fantasia 2000.
I also watched the goofy movies.. dunno if it counts.. and many many Mickey mouse toons as well as other Disney stuff.. what else? I used to watch Zoids, avatar and Gundam wing when I was like 14-15 somewhere around there.. I can't remember anything else..
But I remember that without a doubt my fave and earliest memory of toons is Ribbon no Kishi :D
-
I think it was "Alps no Shōjo Heidi" ... there I was arround 6 years old XD ... but this time I didn´t consider this as an anime. The first Anime, which I considered as one, was Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon! That´s the time I have starting watch more Anime!
-
I'm pretty sure mine was Speed Racer. :heart:
Then Sailor Moon, which actually lead me to discover what anime was. And cleaned out any allowance money I got.
-
Supaasu adobenchaa Kobura (Space Adventure Cobra) at the age of six XD
-
The first anime i saw was Akira back in '95
-
The first anime i saw was Dragon Ball.
-
The first anime I watched was Ringing Bell/Chirin no Suzu, in English. The first anime series I watched was Sailor Moon.
-
Robotech reruns in 1989. I was four but I remember watching it. Probably some Voltron in there, too.
When I was 14 I noticed the DBZ phenomenon but wasn't into it. Gundam Wing dragged me in just a bit deeper, but it was not until I borrowed a friends VHS tape of Gundam 0083 that I saw how awesome this stuff could be. I looked into some shows, and bought the first VHS of Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040, and that show got me hooked on anime for good. So yeah, 90 series later according to my ANN watch list, here I am. :)
-
Gigantor. XD Does that count? I used to watch that every morning before catching the school bus.
I think it used to play on the SciFi channel; Thunderbirds came on right after it.
It's hard to remember the very first anime I watched... I remember trying to watch Sailor Moon just to see Haruka. :wub:
-
StarBlazers. I fell in love with it as a kid and watched it every day before going to school.
-
I think it was Akira. I don't count the dubbed stuff on tv
-
Voltes V!
i think i was four
man... thinking about it made me feel old
-
Being from Hawaii, I would have to say (don't laugh now)...Candy Candy, a girly cartoon from what I remember and Raideen. I was more into the live action stuff like Kamen Rider V3, Battle Fever J, Rainbow Man...etc.
-
I'm not sure but I think maybe is doraemon.
-
I'm pretty sure it was "Ie Nani Ko". Although I didn't know it was anime... :lol:
-
I think I said It was Space Agent Cobra... Ironically the second was Hello Kitty XD
-
Pokemon,I think i was around 3 or 4 when I started watching it.
-
i think the first was mysterious cities of gold, saber rider, robin hood, heidi, rock´n roll kids, attack no. 1 etc.
there are many old animes when I was young
they are all so good
now nobody remember this old stuff and all you can see in german is pokemon & yu gi oh!
not the best anime...
-
I think it was probably dragonball z when I was about 3 or 4 years old
-
Cant remember if it was doraemon or digimon. :doh:
-
project ako i think it was called was the first movie . the first show was teknoman (sp) it blew my mind and akira just made anime a lock for me
-
I don't actually remember what the first anime I ever watched was called. I've tried finding it, but never succeeded. It was a lot like Gundam, with the characters being space pilots who went in mobile suits. Only thing I can really remember is when two guys were fighting over a girl and then I think one of them got thrown into space. Fun.
The first ones that I can remember would have to be Pokemon and Sailor Moon. My childhood fantasies wouldn't have existed if it weren't for Misty. White lace lingerie anyone?
-
first i watched was gundam wing i think. long time ago
-
The first anime I watched is...Pokemon. Watched the first episode when it first came out in Japan. Still a fan but I have not watched the anime just been playing the games more. :temper:
Then it was others were like Crayon Shin-chan, Digimon, Doraemon, and other anime you would see a lot growing up in Japan :japan:. Like ones even your grandparents would know. :on lol:
-
Doraemon ... as I remember .. :P
-
The first anime I ever watched was Gigantor (aka Tetsujin28) on an old black and white tv with rabbit ears and 2 channel dials 1 (for VHF and 1 for UHF). I think I was 3 at the time.
The first subtitled anime I ever saw were fansubbed VHS tapes of Kimagure Orange Road.
God, I feel old now.
-
The first ones I saw were probably Digimon or something of that variety. I caught the English version of Escaflowne when it aired here on Saturday mornings - then DBZ - then Inuyasha and Rurouni Kenshin and stuff like that on Saturday nights.
-
Before I really got into anime I think the first shows that I watched as a kid were Voltron, Samurai Pizza Cats, Ronin Warriors, Dragonball, Sailor Moon, Teknoman, Pokemon and Digimon and that was when network channels showed cartoons early in the morning. *sigh* The good old days.
-
Voltes V
-
i saw this on Hong Kong TV and I was like WTF man naked eyeball. Forget the show but it was like his grandfather or smth.
(http://picroda.jphip.com/misc/jphip00887.jpg)
-
^That's from GeGeGe no Kitaro. The eyeball man is Kitaro's father.
There are 6 anime series (1968, 1971, 1985, 1996, 2007, 2008)
-
I remember seeing Doraemon as a toddler. :]
-
i think it was DBZ or SM
-
Doraemon..
-
Pokemon and Naruto, actually. It's pretty embarrassing to remember that time, I was quite the Narutard for months and refused to watch any other anime as I didn't believe they could be as good as Naruto. Then I started watching actual good anime, and realized Naruto is fairly bad in comparison.
-
Voltes V!!!!! it's even the first anime my aunts and uncles have watched
-
idk whats mine..
but its either..dragon ball, doraemon or crayon shinchan..
but is it classified as anime >.<?
-
Sailor Moon? XD Probably...
But mainly Pokémon and Digimon! (and NO! Digimon and Pokémon are not the same! All the Digimon-Fans out there knows it!)
-
mm... dragon ball and doraemon..
the legendary anime..
-
mm... dragon ball and doraemon..
the legendary anime..
yeah.. doraemon surely a legendary anime..
it has been aired on TV for more than 10 years until today..
-
Doraemon and dragon ball
-
i got hook into Super Robots reruns on our local TV.. i knew that they were called anime much, much later..
but the first anime that i've seen could possibly be Candy, Candy..
-
It was Gundam F91 movie. when I was just 3 yrs old
-
Doraemon
-
GTO. it made me realize that anime wasnt just for geeks. or maybe it turned me into one. either way, pretty kick ass.
-
Doraemon and DBZ
-
i think it was Voltes 5 or maybe Astroboy...
-
I think my first anime was Samurai Pizza Cats in elementary school. They played it on weekday mornings (I think at 6:30 AM?). I don't think I had any idea at the time that it was Japanese. I didn't watch much more anime (apart from some Dragonball Z) until much more recently.
-
SAILOR MOON!!! :tama-apeshit: yeah.... XD i used too love that show so much~ and then i got really back into in 7th grade... :P the jp versoin is SO much better than the dub...
-
Mmm... The first anime... I Think was Dragon Quest XD
-
Prob Tortoro when I was younger, my parents tapped Dragon ball z when I was younger as well. Could of been anything lol
-
Moomins (http://myanimelist.net/anime/2150/Tanoshii_Moomin_Ikka), Nils Holgersson (http://myanimelist.net/anime/2151/Nils_no_Fushigi_na_Tabi) .. aaand.. Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds (http://myanimelist.net/anime/3761/Wanwan_Sanjushi) ! God I loved those. I still do.
First anime what I knew it was from Japan was Sailor moon.
-
Dragon Ball.
Althrough the super-decisive battles lasted 3 episodes of pure talking, it's one of the best animes ever.
-
as far as I can remember, it was "Blue Blink"!
lol! this anime was ages ago! I don't think anyone still remembers this.
If you do then yay good job! XD
-
Ufo Grendizer
-
Watched the occasional Miyazaki film back when I was a kid. Like Totoro, Spirited Away, etc.
Then about 2 years back my friend gave me Code Geass and I got hooked on the whole anime thing.
Hope there's a 3rd season.
-
It'll be FullMetal Alchemist ♥
But on tv, I saw naruto first, but it wasn't the first episode. Yeah, so i guess it isn't counted.
-
Doraemon :thumbup
-
Doraemon :thumbup the one that makes me love anime
-
oh wow. I can't remember what my first anime was. but it probably was either Chibimaruko, or Doraemon. such classics never get old.
-
It had to be Doraemon...
Yeah, that's the only anime I could remember back then...
-
borutesu paibuni! subete okakete!
That's me imitating Voltes V's OP. :cool1: I really enjoyed this when I was little, and watched the movie in a cinema. :cow:
Before every episode that I will watch, <start sarcasm> I am always curious about what new gadgets the mecha will use, and in what order he will use it. The most enjoyable moment for me was wondering if Voltes V will prevail in each and every one of its episodes. Guess I'm right. :panic: <end sarcasm>
:hiakhiakhiak: But seriously, this anime is one of the defining moments of my childhood. :on gay:
-
Digimon Digital Monsters Digital Guardian Champions!
OK well I saw Pokemon 3 months earlier but Digimon was the first really good one!
-
Pokemon. Gotcha Catch Them All. :rofl:
-
I can tolerate some newer episodes of Pokemon but that's very rarely. I like Pokemon Hunter J,but she's never in it!
-
I'm pretty sure it was Dragon Ball Z.
My memory is a little hazy since it's been so long, if it's not then I would say either Pokemon or Digimon.
-
Chibi Maruko-chan. :twothumbs
-
Rounin Kenshin - Himura the batosai
-
The first anime I remember watched is Doraemon XD
-
I think it was Sailor Moon... <3 And the first Anime I bought myself were some Wedding Peach and Tenchi Muyo VHS. *--*
-
I think it was Ranma 1/2 for me even though I had no idea what was going on. Afterward, Sailormoon and Pokemon started playing on tv.
-
The first one I've watched was Pokémon. I'm not quite sure, because I know I have watched other animes before this one, but at this time I didn't know that these were animes! But Pokémon was the first were I realized that it's from Japan! These series was followed by Sailor Moon and Dragonball!
-
When I was a kid, I regularly watched Pokemon and Dragon Ball Z :D but the first anime I watched when I really started to get into it was Fushigi Yuugi!
-
Does Voltron count? If not it was whatever toonami had on. Dragonball Z was the one I remember most. Goku finally going super saiya-jin as a 13 or 14 year old boy, or however young I was, blew my freaking mind. Of course you had to wait 3 or 4 episodes for anything to happen so they dangled that event in front of you for a few days... it was torture.
-
First anime I watched was Fullmetal Panic! and I was still at Elementary, um...I think Grade 3 or 4 at that time. It's kind of nostalgic to remember that anime. :)
-
Fullmetal Alchemist :peace: :peace:
...and Dragon Ball Z.. Maybe it was the first one... But somehow I remember FMA better... :nervous
-
doraemon..when i was in elementary school..
-
I couldn't consider American aired Dragon Ball to be my first anime. The talent of the seiyuus brings so much more expression to the anime!
That being said, Naruto was my very first anime, and I was immediately hooked into the universe.
-
My first anime was Pokemon and I was huge fan LOL
now I feel retarded and gay
-
dragon ball z. i remember having to watch it all grainy with english subs online.
-
Pokemon/Digimon! Those great days :cry:
-
Sakura Card Captors
-
Dragon ball :thumbup
-
it would have been either Pokemon/Digimon/Dragon Ball Z
-
My first anime was Pokemon and I was huge fan LOL
now I feel retarded and gay
Hey,you shouldn't feel retarded and gay. I liked it,and then I got into Digimon and then I didn't like it anymore. I did go through a phase of watching May and Max episodes 5 years ago but apart from that I haven't really been into Pokemon. I don't hate Pokemon like I used to but I can't watch episodes that I watched as a kid. No anime gets me excited and pumped like Digimon does.
But some parts of newer Pokemon episodes I like,like that Pokemon Hunter J character.
-
it was either ronin warriors or dragon ball i dont recall but i remember they use to do it early in the morning before i go school when i was a kid many many many years ago
-
IIRC, it was Sailor moon that first got me into the anime world. I remember watching Esclaflowne and some Gundam series as well before really getting into the mainstream popular ones (DBZ, Pokemon, Digimon, etc.)
-
The very first ones were Doraemon and Anpanman, but I was too young to remember it. The first one I remember watching was Saint Seiya, but that was before I even knew what anime was. To me they were just regular cartoons like Tom and Jerry. The first one I watched knowing it was anime and got me interested in other anime was Shin Seiki Evangelion.
-
I don't remember what anime I watched first but what I remember was watching these in kindergarten to 1rst grade
Pokemon, Digimon, Yu-gi-oh, Dragon balls,
along with the anime they would show on adult swim.
which I think at the time was Gundam, Big O, and Serial Experiments Lain. I didn't understand what the hell was going on but my young mind was fascinated by it to the point that I'd stay up every Saturday watching them.
-
The first of what I could remember was Ronin Warriors. The one I vaguely remember is Teknoman (which I have been trying to find to watch, but no luck).

Yoroiden Samurai Troopers was turned english! man, it's so easy to get anime now! :bow:
Might be easier if you looked for the jap name "Tekkaman Blade"
-
^
Sweet, thanks! I will try looking for that instead.
-
my first anime was naruto haha, guess i was slow...though i watched dragonball/pokemon/digimon last time, i dont really catch up with the series just for casual purpose.
-
Candy-candy, on betamax video :D
-
Love Hina :D
-
dragon ball the original was the first.. but i did not know it was anime... just wierd cartoon :o... maybe pokemon also with ash and pikachue
-
my first anime dragon ball!!! :twothumbs
-
Probably Yu-Gi-Oh & Pokemon, if those are considered animes. :?
My first official Japanese anime was Detective Conan :lol:
-
i don't really remember but i think it was Doraemon ;p
oh and Dragon Ball
-
first anime i watched was dragonball , gundam wing and inuyasha. man these shows were great
-
Cooking Master Boy if that counts. The best anime I ever watched. I wonder how many people knows about this anime?
-
In junior high I went to my friends house after school and he showed me Golden Boy... it was all downhill from there
-
Mine was Gundam Wing! Back when it got aired on Toonami so long ago. I rewatched it recently now that I'm older and can understand the plot better and I must say after watching 00 Gundam that 00 Gundam seems very inspired from Gundam Wing.
-
I think it was doraemon? or maybe it was sailormoon? I'm not sure which one was my first... :huhuh
-
The first one is Doraemon, then Gundam, Dragon Ball, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, Duel Master (anyone?)
-
it's very long time ago
i think neither pokemon or dragonball
or may be gundam wing
-
Hmmm wow... I'd have to say Bleach lol....still one of my favs.
-
I was still a brat, didn't even know I was watching Anime, but I'm pretty sure it's either Dragonball or Sailormoon
Earliest memory were of Digimon and Pokemon, but I still didn't know they were Anime. I just called them cartoons, since that was what my parents called them.
What really got me into the world of Anime was Inuyasha. Man I loved that show. :cathappy:
-
Captain Tsubasa
-
Probably something like old Speed Racer cartoons. First I really remember was Akira.
-
The very first anime I watched, was Pokémon dubbed in Norwegian, but what really got me into and being a fan of anime, was Naruto, which I started watching during the summer in 2008.
-
saint seiya, on local tv like around end of 80's
then nothing memorable until doraemon on 94-95
-
naruto, bleach..
-
Doraemon
-
Pretty sure it was Doraemon and Dr. Slump. Then DBZ. But boy was Dr. Slump funny watching it as a kid.
-
I think, my first anime is digimon adventure :inlove:, pokemon ( i really love pikachu :inlove:), saint seiya,dragon ball,gundam,etc....
because this anime until now I really really love anime....
sorry for my bad english
-
My country used to play anime every Sunday. Most of them are legendary and almost nobody knows about them now. A few notable mentions as well as my first anime(s): Doraemon, Naruto, Dragonball Z, Digimon, Pokemon. Fujiko F. Fujio's P-Man, Ninja Hattori-kun, even Hell Teacher Nube and Ranme 1/2.
-
Speed Racer reruns as a kid, as they were airing on syndication. The original Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon were really early shows for me, too.
-
Monkey King
