I watched Astro Boy at age 5 or 6 before I knew what anime was. I remember it being a tense, action-filled show with episodes that ended right as I had to leave for school so I often got upset about missing the last couple of minutes of each one. I watched Sailor Moon at age 10-11 on a morning cartoon show. The presenter introduced it as a show that used "a new Japanese art style called manga" and I could hear her pronounce the italics. I remember seeing the lanky, threatening demonic figures from the OP and thinking that this was unlike anything I'd seen before. I caught a few out-of-context snippets of Evangelion on the "international" channel at age 12-13 and was mildly traumatized. I watched Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 on the same channel a few years later. I'm not sure the plot entirely made sense but it had cool ladies fighting robots and that was enough for 15-year-old me.
