Anime & Manga Your first EVER anime! ^^

[Draegan]

Technically, it was Teen Titans. I didn't know it was an anime, though. I just liked Robin's spikey hair.

 

[MrNarrator]

I was friend with the stereotypical 'quiet kid' in school. He asked if I'd watch something with him.

We sat down and watched Elfen Lied.

 

[Shoko Kirishima]

Okay, so I feel like most people wouldn't call this on an anime, but I believe it is.


My first ever Anime was Wakfu.
It's a series I found when I was young. At the time, it didn't have an English dub, and my parents made me stop watching it. A few years later, I find it got an English dub. So I binge watched the HELL out of it. Then another 2 years later, a third season comes. I swear to god when I saw that it was getting a third season, I started screaming, "WAKFU SEASON 3!! WAKFU SEASON 3!!" And my dad thought I was crazy.
((Which I am))
The show brought me so much joy throughtout my life, and it has an amazing story. If you haven't seen it, I do suggest you watch it! It's an Netflix Original Anime that has gone under the radar, and I wish it got noticed more as a work of art, because In my eyes, it's a wonderful series that more people should know about.

Anyways, that's my first ever Anime ^-^

If you don't count Pokemon (and Toonami)
The first anime I saw was: El Hazard.

 

[MikaTheImpaler]

My first anime ever was Hetalia Axis Powers.

I thought it was so good because I always loved history and of course it was funny!! I haven’t seen much Anime but I thought that one was super good!

I've heard a ton about that one but have never watched it. Maybe I shall break and give it a try. Did you watched Subbed or English Dub? (Both?)

I watched it with English Dub like 6 years ago or something. Unfortunately I have no idea where I found it so I can’t lead you the way but would definitely recommend!

I vaguely recall the accents from the dub being ear-bleeding. I'll have to give it a fair shot anyway!

Could be. I hadn’t spoken to Europeans before at the time so I probably had no idea.

 

[natsukashii]

Funny enough, the titular character that is my current avatar: InuYasha. I don't remember when it was but I recall sleeping and waking up to an episode of InuYasha and instantly fell in love with it.

 

[Parachromia]

Mine was Sailor Moon

 

[PauciloquentPumpkin]

The first one I've watched in it's entirety, despite not having been a finished anime, was Inuyasha. I'm sure I've seen bits of Dragonball and Pokemon before, but I don't count those, otherwise my first likely isn't something I will ever remember. I was surprised I was able to remember Inuyasha being my first completed anime.

 

[GreedyBoy]

mine was blue exorcist. i found it really thrilling and endearing and it holds a special place in my heart. i might revisit it during quarantine...​

[heartstringss]

bleach or inu-yasha, i don't remember which was first.

 

[Rosewood]

DBZ or Naruto, depends on how you look at it. I watched DBZ when I was very young and didn't even know what anime was. Naruto was the first one I deliberately chose to watch knowing it was an anime.

 

[ANIMEWEEB101]

My first anime was Dragon Ball! I love it once my father introduced me to it then I started to watch Naruto and other anime. Now I listen to the openings/endings while drawing ^^

 

[FliesandSpiders]

I believe my first anime was Dragon Ball or Inuyasha.
I was a while ago honestly.
All I remember was they used to show anime on friday nights on YTV. Those were both in the line up so it was one or the other.

 

[Dartwind]

My first was, technically, parts of Pokemon!

The first I watched in full was Ginga Densetsu Weed, I believe. I hated anime for a long time, actually. It's not my favorite sort of media, still, but I am very fond of Revolutionary Girl Utena.

 

[Wind]

Definitely Pokemon.

 

[Midrick]

Although mine was a movie it was Princess Mononoke, great fucking movie for anyone who hasn't seen it.

 

[LunarArt1]

First manga was cique du freak, but it didn’t have an anime so I think mine was bleach

 

[astrid]

i think mine was either naruto, bleach, or fruit basket? i stopped watching for a while and then started back up in like 2012, and now i can’t stop.

 

[CCCherrywood]

Smile Precure, if I’m being technical. The first one I watched actually knowing what anime was was Madoka Magica.

 

[M.J. Saulnier]

I believe my first anime was Dragon Ball Z. Exceptionally lightweight, I know.

It was 1990-something, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. YTV was the only channel airing anything remotely close to anime on standard cable. I am certain it started with DBZ, but they also aired Escaflowne and Gundam Wing.

I didn't really watch Escaflowne, but I watched DBZ religiously. That led me to taking Gundam Wing more seriously, and now Wing is my favorite animated show, period.
