Anime & Manga Your first EVER anime! ^^

[cherrycigar]

Card captor sakura for me, but theres this girly one I have a very vague memory of before that... something about sugar fairys and waffles... hm.

 

[nerdy tangents]

Sailor Moon, currently rewatching it now. I vividly remember renting the movie from Blockbuster and jamming out to the theme song with my middle sister.

 

[SpeedHunters73]

Kill la Kill

 

[sugarleaf]

My first anime was Toradora! I was like 8 at the time, so I only vaguely remember it, but I do remember it being an odd experience. It was the first show I watched that was in a foreign language so that had a lot to do with it!

 

[BING.]

pokemon?

 

[Oberan]

I've gone through so many emotions trying to remember what my first anime ever was. The first one I ever watched was probably either Pokemon or Sailor Moon. (All hail Toonami!) As I got older I'd watch on Adult Swim at night things like Yu Yu Hakusho and Inuyasha. However, I don't think I ever recognized them as anime while I was watching them. The first anime I picked out to watch because it was an anime was Ouran High School Host Club.

Of course that isn't including any Studio Ghibli movies I may have watched.

 

[SMT-Nocturne]

I'll like to call Lucky star my first anime since it's more into the Japanese culture but it's pokemon.

 

[Crow]

Probably Cardcaptor Sakura.

 

[Gr1mmReaper2020]

When you say anime, do you mean western localization or japan anime? There's a difference. Not being nitpicky, my first aime of any sort was original pokemon

 

[JayceeJellies]

What was the first anime you ever watched? And what did you think of it?


Mine was Naruto.


I didn't know about anime at the time, but I really liked Sasuke (my first anime crush lol), and I also liked Sakura. *face-palm*


I was sooo scared when Jiraiya came in, because I thought my mom was going to think I was watching something bad. xD

Honestly I can't remember what the first one I watched was. I know it's between Ouran Highschool Host Club and Girls Bravo though. I remember really enjoying the story line of Girls Bravo... It's about a boy that goes to a planet with a very low percentage of male population, so it's mostly girls. Also, he's allergic to girls but he meets a girl that's the exception. It's very perverted though. It could even be an ecchi for all I know. I love Ouran too! Very wholesome/slice of life if I remember correctly.

As for movies I know I had Howl's Moving Castle on VCR tape as a kid, same with Spirited Away. I'm unsure which I saw first but I didn't really know what anime was until I was maybe 12. The first anime movie I remember loving is Wolf Children.

 

[Smoothjazzplays]

Much like many other people the first was DBZ.

 

[Divine]

Okay, Imma flex real hard here, I first watched anime when I was around 4-5!! It was only a Studio Ghibli one. It was the secret life of Arrietty. So like really kid-friendly. But yeah!!
Oh but series... does watching like 10 minutes of Yu-Gi-Oh! Count? Because if that doesn't count then Imma say Sailor Moon because I really didn't watch Yu-Gi-Oh.

 

[Beta Breaker ZZ]

Well if I really crack my brain on the subject I’d have to say the first Anime I ever watched was Sailor Moon.

 

[noxious]

Black Butler or Ouran High School Host Club

 

[CrystallineSerpent]

Dragonball Z was the first anime I think I ever saw/was exposed to. I want to say the first one I really enjoyed enough to watch it all was Cowboy Bebop.

 

[Shieanna]

Sailor Moon when I was like.... forever small. I loved her. I loved the way the "cartoon" looked. Next "real" Anime was Dragon Ball Z, when I was in 4th grade. Teenage trunks was the hottest thing I'd ever seen at that point in time. Hahaha.

 

[akumie]

Pokemon if we count basic ones.

Death Note if we don't.

 

[meowingmilq]

It was either Naruto or Dragonball. I mainly watched it with my brother.

 

[Gundam-kun]

Kemeno Michi
clone high ((STFU its a wonderful show))

 

[red tailed renegade]

i never got a chance to finish it but vampire knight

 

[zulidy]

I think Mirai Nikki? I had never watched anime before but I always loved art so I fell into it pretty fast!

 

[rowie]

it was this one called 'dn angel'. it's pretty obscure i'd say, still can't find anyone who knows it. anyway, i remember it was airing on the tv back when i was super young and it was the first anime i recall watching. ​

 

[TheRat]

My first anime was the original Yu-Gi-Oh series.
At the time I really enjoyed it, even made my dad teach me how to play the card game.
Now since I was cursed by the abridged series I can't enjoy it as much.

 

[Chuckles]

Man it’s been a LONG time. Let’s see, I want to say my first introduction to Anime might have been Akira? My older cousin was into Anime and I know he introduced me to that and Princess Mononoke (which I know was the first anime I ever bought) but I’m almost positive Akira was the first real Anime I ever watched. Which is one hell of a starting point.

 

[Kaihaku]

It was either Galaxy Express 999 or Grave of the Fireflies. I know they were the first anime that I saw for quite some time. Not the lightest fare to start on but definitely made an impact on me.

It's a fun one. Short but sweet. I remember the romantic twist being well done.
