Anime & Manga Your first EVER anime! ^^

[out_of_my_league]

My Little Monster! It really introduced me to anime and the romance genre especially~

 

[Dr. Manhattan]

Spirited Away was the first movie I’ve seen, then the first series I got into was Samurai champloo.

 

[FlyingDemon]

Naruto too, as much it was bad, i liked it for lots of reasons.

 

[Chutzpah]

The very first episode of Pokemon: Gotta Catch 'Em All. That being said, I was unaware of anime at the time.

 

[EricSings]

Mine was Peach Girl. ^^;

My first anime that I have ever watched was Trigun (I know, an older one). It was during when I was going with my brother when he was 15 years old to an anime convention and he and his friend let me watch it with them. I couldn't go to the convention, but they were trying to let me understand what anime was so that I can go with them in the future (which I do now when we all aren't too busy). Anyways, so I watched Trigun and I absolutely loved it. At the time, I loved the style and I enjoyed Vash's humor. I even enjoyed trying to find that black cat in every episode of the series when my brother's friend pointed out that it appears in every episode. Today I still like it, but I wish that they could do a season 2 or something as it feels like it needs something more to it!

Uta~Kata.

I believe mine was Hellsing. Not sure if it was my 'first', but it's the one that got me more interested in Anime.

 

[LadyLaz]

Pokémon without realizing it I suppose..but Trigun was the first one I watched knowing it was anime and not just a cartoon.

 

[Delta808]

Dragon Ball.
Not DBZ.
Not GT.
Just...Dragon Ball.
You know when the show was actually about finding the Dragon Balls.

 

[eyeslikespikes]

Tokyo Mew Mew/Mew Mew Power was the first series I watched that I was aware was an anime. Thanks, 4Kids.

 

[CherryTart]

Fate/Stay Night. Still my favorite anime to this day.

 

[Laughing_Fruit]

My first anime was Pokemon, the first anime if we don't count the standard childhood ones would be Fruits Basket

That's a tough one for me to pin down since my memory of my first anime is a bit blurred given that most of what I was watching at the time was saturday morning cartoons with morning/ afternoon anime blocks from Toonami during the weekdays. If I had to pin it down though I'd say it would be Card Captor Sakura or Cardcaptors as it was called in the U.S. or Sailor Moon. They usually aired before other shows like DBZ and at the time Digimon, Pokemon, and Medabots were only airing on saturday morning cartoon lineups. But everyday after school I would tune into Toonami and watch Cardcaptors, DBZ, and then something else that is escaping my memory.

Though if we're referring to the instance in which we recognized what anime was and have seen called it that, then that would have to be Yu Yu Hakusho or Cowboy Bebop. At the time everything that was animated to me was referred to as a cartoon. It wasn't until I was slightly older roughly 12 or 13 at the time when I recognized the term "anime" and it referred to basically 90% of what I was watching at the time and Yu Yu Hakusho and Cowboy Bebop personified that for me at the time.

Now I'm older and can recognize just about all the old anime i used to watch lol.

pretty sure the first real one was Naruto, (not shippuden), but i watched death note the same week. Before that, though, was this god awfulJapanese sonic show i watched. i liked the eyesz

 

[Potato-sama]

The first ever anime I watched was one of those three, can't remember clearly: Naruto - Bleach - Dragon Ball I can't remember which one cause I was six.

 

[lostamongtomes]

Sailor Moon. I remember getting super obsessed over a Mars doll and everything.

 

[Neshaiku]

I remember when I was really little, and visiting my grandma, she had a bunch of Inuyasha dvds. I don't remember if they were movies or season sets, but I watched them over and over again every time I went there. Began my love for animated shows in general, and once I realized there was more of Inuyasha than what I saw as a kid, I was extremely excited for that.

 

[aya2u]

​

Captain Harlock. I was like 5 or 6, and i came cross the old anime that was playing in a local TV station. My childhood was never the same. Cartoons would not do any longer after that. Anime became a must watch!

 

[Tarmagon]

Battle of the Planets

 

[Yun Lee]

Aw jeez, that was so long ago! I think my first anime was Pokemon, even though I had no clue what anime even was until much later. Growing up I just thought it a really weird cartoon.

I think the first anime I really saw and knew it was an anime right from the start was Ouran High School Host Club. That or Hetalia, and I watched both in high school once we got Netflix.

 

[Ella Victoria]

My first was pokemon. Without realising it. I was six.
But my proper first was Fairytail when I was 11. I know it's late but whatever.
（ミ￣ー￣ミ）

 

[Happenstance]

Aside from Pokémon I think mine was Inuyasha?? Or maybe it was One Piece. I wish I could remember!

 

[melz]

i believe my first anime was fullmetal alchemist? i don't really remember much but i remember watching that in 7th grade every day before school and every day afterschool.

 

[Cinereous]

My father is a big Mobile Suit Gundam and Dragon Ball fan, so I started off with that. And I was four. If you know the kind of content that shows up in those series, you know why that's funny.

It's even funnier if you know the kind of person my mother is.

Anyway, the first anime that I watched on my own was Yu Yu Hakusho. Digimon/Pokemon/Yugioh/Inuyasha/Other classic 90s and 00s anime came after that.
