My first was probably Pokemon or something else like that. But my first anime that I knew was anime was Inuyasha, and I was super into it. I am ashamed of my past.

I would disagree looking back on it, personally. I just can't figure out what I saw in it. Besides pretty boys, of course.

Spanish dub of DBZ. I didn't speak Spanish. Seeing an alien frog vomit a beam of light into Bulma's mouth was a surreal experience.

All of the following are possible candidates: Mine was probably one of these too. Either that, or some Toei stuff like Sinbad since I can remember the toei cat really well. I wish my memory was better

Over here we would get uncensored Mexican (and sometimes Spaniard) dubbed anime fairly regularly so I was like 7 when I was watching Cobra, Ruronin Kenshin and Ranma 1/2. All uncensored at 6 o clock in the morning.

Iria: Zeiram the Animation was the first time, I think, that I realized that anime was of superior quality to cartoons I was watching at the time. That was on Sci-fi...when the heck was that anyway?

Voltron, which I loved, but my first realization that Some of These Cartoons Are Not Like the Others was Robotech -- in particular the 2nd third, derived from Southern Cross. Just the idea that cartoons could have things happen that changed the status quo and have an ending was huge to 6-year-old me. After that, while I didn't understand that they were from Japan, I would at least try and watch any cartoon that I recognized as having that look. I didn't learn what was going on, and didn't hear the term "anime," until Sci-Fi first ran some -- I want to say VHD. All downhill since then.

The Fox dub of Totoro when I was 5. Then I went into a reflexive hate anime phase from 1995 until 2003 (it was all obviously Satanic you see, just like the banned-in-my-house Pokemon). Then it was .hack//SIGN and Rurouni Kenshin all day, erryday. As far as manga, I got into that through Rurouni Kenshin and the Ranma 1/2 volumes at the local library.

First time seeing anime was a rental VHS of Starzinger dupped in finnish when I was around 8 to 10. drat that poo poo kicked rear end especially since it wasn't really censored from what I remember. Oh and the few first episodes of Galaxy Express 999. I think I didn't sleep too well after those, didn't the first episode have the kids mom get killed by robots in what was really an english fox hunt? Followed by the kid killing the poo poo out of them in revenge? Checking what others had posted saw Nils Holgerson being mentioned and realised that might have been true first contact, along with Moomin. But I don't know if can personally call them anime since the source material was originally from western countries. They don't feel anime to me at all.

First technically anime was Mysterious Cities of Gold when I was a kid, I figured out at the time that there was something 'different' about it compared to what was also on at the time. But when I knew what anime was years later it was stuff they aired on the Sci-Fi and other channels in the late 90's.

Technically the old rear end speed racer, then dragonball and samurai pizzacats in the mornings before school but I wasn't even aware they were anime at the time. The first thing I knew was "Anime" was ninja scroll. Teletoon, the canadian equivalent of cartoon network I guess, had this thing during the summers where they used to air higher rated animated films and poo poo in the middle of the night and since it was summer I could stay up late to watch them! So the first one I caught was ninja scroll and all that blood and animated titty is pretty cool when you're a kid. Macross Plus came after it and I still love that one if just for the last jet fight.

I somehow didn't know that that was an anime until reading your post, but it was by far my favorite cartoon as a kid. Get up at 5AM every day to watch the power block of MCoG and Mister Wizard, I guess that makes it my first anime as well, since the only other candidates would have been been when I was subjected (by my little brother) to Dragonball and Sailor Moon 10 years later.

Speed Racer, i remember being like 5 and super pissed he was spending time on his mystery brother and not on racing the poo poo out of the Mach 5. But for getting back into anime, it was GITS:SAC. Still one of my favorites, its so good. Thanks crazy sophomore year roommate Edit: Just remembered watching Tenchi on the recommendation of a friend in elementary school because I liked DBZ. Every episode of that I ever caught was the boringiest poo poo ever. The Glumslinger fucked around with this message at 09:15 on Dec 8, 2015 |

I Mummidalen (aka Moomin). I was probably around 4-5 years old. I didn't know it was an anime until I got older and browsed Moomin on Wikipedia. Pokémon and Digimon Adventure were my second and third animes that I liked after that. T'was around the Pokémon craze and I began to notice similiarities in terms of style that they used (but still didn't get me interested in the specific type of style). What got me into realizing that there was a style called anime (and manga) though was a manga named Ranma 1/2 that I began to read in my teen years. Both me and my sister loved that manga. What actually got me into aggressively pursuing manga and anime to watch and read though was Love Hina (got me interested in manga) and School Rumble (read it when I was looking for other manga I could read, then I watched the anime and I got hooked into finding more to watch and more series that was animated that I could watch.) I was around 17 at the time. So you could say I had a lot of false starts.

First ever was apparently named Dash Kappei, but on Italian TV when I was somewhere around 6? I say 'apparently' because until just now when I looked it up I remembered it as Gigi La Trotola. Some bits of the theme song are among my earliest indistinct memories, probably because I used to sing it on long car trips to annoy my sister: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YrC0lDC48E In more living memory, Robotech when I was 8 or so? Then, at some point for no particular reason that I recall, my Dad rented Urusei Yatsura Movie 2: Beautiful Dreamer from Blockbuster. That poo poo was bananas, and I found it completely terrifying at an existential level. If you haven't seen it, it's Groundhog Day but way more full of bizarre Japanese monsters the 10-year-old brain is not fully prepared to comprehend, and it turns out a little like Dark City but with a giant space turtle. This movie hosed me up for weeks, but then eventually I rented Bubblegum Crisis and it was all downhill from there. Saw Ninja Scroll for the first time in the anime room at a sci fi convention at 12. By that time I was far gone: I was cosplaying as Ryoga from Ranma 1/2 because I was a depressed rear end kid and sympathized. Wearing a shirt my grandmother knit for me but it was grey since she had only seen a picture of it in the manga. I wore the loving tiger striped bandanna to school until they made me take it off because it might be gang colors? I have a pretty distinct memory of how the big guy in the front row sort of... leaned in and wheezed during the rape scenes. Thanks, anime.

Honestly I can't remember exactly how I got started. I think the earliest was watching Naruto and Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo on Toonami, and I only really started actively watching it way later when I stumbled upon and joined in on my brothers watching an episode of Mobile Suit Gundam 0079, and after watching through that (and not really having any idea what was happening in it at the time) my oldest brother showed me Escaflowne. He ended up showing me a bunch more stuff over time, like Gurren Lagann, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Bonjour Galaxy Express 999, we even ended up watching Robotech at one point since it was on Netflix, which ended with him getting really confused by all the bad rewrites towards the end of the Macross story. It's only really within the last couple years I've been able to start searching out the stuff myself, which has kind of become a necessity since we don't watch stuff together nearly as much these days, and I've gotten way more into it than ever.

DBZ I was legit psyched as a kid to watch Goku power up for 2 hours over 4 episodes. Before it started airing on TV i would hunt down ways to get fansubbed VHS tapes. I'm old.
