What was the first anime you ever watched?

Well, now, Minty! That's certainly interesting! I'm as old school as they come around here, but I don't remember those. Perhaps those were shows that never came to the U.S. Most interesting!

svenja · 17 Apr 2006

I think that would have to be Ranma 1/2 (that I can remember), not counting various films the Japanese released for children back in the '80's.

yukio_michael · 10 May 2006

The first anime I watched, I'd imagine it was something like the full length movie to Fist of the Northstar, probably dubbed no less... the second and third ones I can remember actually aquiring and watching were Rurouni Kenshin and Marmalade Boy.

...?

hmm yeah I remember it briefly, Iria Zieram the animation... the first real anime I watched but before that it was gotchaman and speed racer lol... I love Gotchaman...
with the feathers and capes it looked cool and speed racer was freaking hilarious so yeah Iria Zieram was the first animated movie i've seen on international channel but that is my favorite animated movie still I loved the action and story line...

sl0thmachin3 · 10 May 2006

I think the very first anime I saw was Astroboy. It was even in black and white then.

Wow! time does fly fast.

meiers · 3 Jun 2006

First anime i saw was dragon ball z
It left a very bad impression on me that I refused to watch anymore anime until i happened to watch macross/robotech and akira with my bro.

Nana007 · 3 Jun 2006

Well when I was little I remember that my mom loved Speed Racer, so I guess you can say that was my first. But the one that I became a Fan of was Sailor Moon when I was 7 years old, and then later Dragon Ball Z when it was put on Toonami when I was 12. Thats about the age when I realized that both Sailor Moon and DBZ was anime. And from that it sparked my current interest in Japanese Culture.

Ambar · 5 Jun 2006

The first anime I watched was Saint Seiya yeeeee in Mexico called "Caballeros del Zodiaco" here is very famous, i love Shiryu....

Precious4e · 5 Jun 2006

Now that I think back on it, my first anime was Ranma 1/2!! Hehehehe. I also remember watching Tonde Buurin (the one with the girl who turns into a flying pig super hero).

crawling · 6 Jun 2006

the first anime i watched was dragonball z ^^ i watched it every evening with my brother. we both liked it a lot

Cursed Wings · 6 Jun 2006

The first anime i watched was sailor moon and dragon ball z after i saw those i got totally obsessed now i watch all kinds of anime (dont exactly like any other kind of cartoon)

ArmandV · 6 Jun 2006

My first was also Astroboy. It's been decades since I've seen it, but I can still remember the theme song.

Cue · 8 Jun 2006

I don't remember what my first anime was, as I was too little back then...
it could be either Doraemon or Sazae-san or something else.

But from what I do remember having watched, it's Kidou Senshi Gundam(aka MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM/GUNDAM 0079, the very first series). Not real time, probably re-airing.

Domon · 11 Jun 2006

The first anime i saw was The Guyver series and the first i actually went out and bought was violence jack.

hehe i sometimes watched sailor moon at a friend's, but the first i really enjoyed and regulary watched was dbz

Cursed Wings · 22 Jun 2006

The first real anime i ever saw would have to be actually a tie between dragon ball z and sailor moon

Veidit · 27 Jun 2006

As a child, Starsinger

Well I got hooked at Akira and Neon Genesis Evangelion

persil · 3 Jul 2006

I really can't say for sure, after reading a couple of replies, I've seen a lot! As a child there were so many... I guess one of the very first I would really call anime that I've seen would be
- Ranma 1/2
- Sailor Moon.
But the one that really started me out was Card Captor Sakura... Hmmm... hope I'm not making a mistake saying this

edit:

ahh, I think I saw Ghost in the Shell even before Ranma, but at the time, I think I didn't understand anything!!!

J44xm · 3 Jul 2006

The truth is ... that I first watched Sailormoon. And you know what? I still like it. It'll always have a soft place in my heart as the single thing that put Japan on the map for me for the first time, as it were.

There. I said it.

dizzydevil · 4 Jul 2006

The very first Anime i have ever seen was the one called "Slayers"
not sure whether any1 remembers it but the main character is "Lina Inverse" and co.

All about these ppl doing spells to fight against each other then trying to see who could gobble down as much food as possible.
It was a classic

Hey, nothing to be ashamed of. I'm pushing 50, and Sailor Moon is still one of my very favorites. Never be ashamed or apologize regarding something you enjoy, no matter what is might be!

J44xm · 4 Jul 2006

Right on, Flashjeff. Right on. ;-)

cursore · 6 Jul 2006
