What was your first anime?
Tanoshii Muumin Ikka, OG Finnish version.
Naruto, but this show is what actually started making me watch anime in general
Ghost in The Shell
Dragonball Z though I didn't know it was anime at the time. Inuyasha was the first thing I watched that I knew was anime.
Science Ninja Team Gatchaman
Naruto
Then after that I watched FMA when I was ten but I got spooked by the scene where scar killed a guy
First one I finished was Hitman Reborn
Captain Tsubasa. But the first anime I watched and finished was Gundam SEED.
Boruto
NGE

this guy has a point, I definitely watched DBZ or Pokemon first but didn't think of it as "anime" just more cartoons. I also used to watch... I actually don't remember its name, the one with the magical pegasus/unicorn warriors? Saint something? I loved Sailor Moon too.
First show I watched that I specifically thought "this is anime, this is from japan in japanese" was probably Naruto? I really can't recall when I made that switch from considering shows cartoons to anime.
Pokemon and Digimon technically, but I had no idea they were any different from the other cartoon shows I watched. Not much later I watched some Patlabor in a kid's channel. I think it was Fox Kids.
It was only in highschool when my friends introduced me to Naruto. My buddy lent me a CD-R with the first season. They were in RMVB format. After that they introduced me to more entry-level shows such as Elfen Lied, Chobits and Hellsing. I had less than 15 shows under my belt by the time I found /a/ and started watching seasonal stuff with the board. Now I am just short of 500.
For most people in my generation it was the same. Everyone started with those shows and then either lost interest or moved on to become fully-fledged weebs.
Same thing for Visual Novels. Started with Yume Miru Kusuru, then moved on to Katawa Shoujo(the demo), Fate/Stay Night, and Ever 17. The rest is history.

It's this
Where are you from? I'm positive you either speak Italian, Spanish or Portuguese
Sword Art Online showed me how sugoi the Japanese Animes were.
The one that I was "fully aware" that I was watching anime was Haruhi, but really it was >>161037074
minus the OG part
First anime I went out of my way to watch.
>>161036947
On TV I don't remember. Probably something like Dragon Ball or Pokemon.
The first one I watched outside of broadcast television was Yu Yu Hakusho from a disk a friend of my brother hooked us up with.
The first one I went after on the internet on my own back in the day was probably Golden Boy, but maybe it could have been Love Hina.
Captain Tsubasa in the early 90s because l'm not a fucking american that only got into anime when it became shit.
>>161036947
Captain Harlock or UFO Robot Grendizer, I guess.
>>161038491
How old are you anon?
>>161038321
8/8 made me reply
It was either DBZ or Sailor Moon. They both used to play on Cartoon Network when I was a kid, I just don't remember which one I saw first.
>>161038589
to old to be here
fuck my life
>>161036947
iM pReTtY sUrE iT wAs OnE pIeCe
Digimon, but I just watched that as a kid like every other kid in my class. One Piece was the first show I went out of my way to watch.
The YKK OVAs, not even sure how i came across them. It might have been through sushichan
Hayate no GotokuI started watching anime with Hayate S1 and was a Mariafag till the manga ended. The manga was a shitshow but I always kept myself updated just for a chance to see my waifu in it. And then the manga ended with only Hayate and Nagi. Fuck you Hata.
>>161038359
>>161038444
Nice!
>>161036947
Kill la kill, binged all of it in 2013
Second was Code Geass
Without knowing it was an anime, pokemon. With knowing it was an anime, Highschool DxD. I didnt actually discover anime for a while
Corrector Yui
Dogtanian and the 3 muskehounds
>>161036947
Code Geass
INITIAL D
I only liked the first stage but I watched it all in a few nights, followed closely by all of NGE. Sailor Moon and Cowboy Bebop are next but I need to digest Eva or something
>>161036947
DBZ
Midori no Hibi. I would say Super Book because I think the church I was made to go to had VHSes of it but I'm not certain on that.
Tanoshii Moomin Ikka, DBZ, Magic Knight Rayearth, Pokémon.
Doraemon maybe? I also remember some anime with a wolf and a one-eyed flying monster thing. I think there might have been a dinosaur of some sort dying while standing. It's been near 20 years since I've seen anything about it and I don't think I'll ever see it again.
I never got the name. It was some 90's mecha anime where the pilots would frequently be tentacle raped inside their cockpit.
>>161036947
Kindergarten, Demon Lord Dante
First Fansubbed anime was Love HIna
>>161036947
Definitely Pokemon, Digimon, and DBZ. I watched DBZ religiously and rented just about every tape Blockbuster had on the franchise, and I still have a Red Ribbon saga tape sitting around at home somewhere. Tuned into Pokemon daily, still have my Pikachu gameboy somewhere. Digimon World on the Playstation was my childhood, so I got my dad to get a bunch of ripped DVD compilations of Adventure 1 & 2 as well as Tamers. Watched shit like YYH and Cowboy Bebop on TV whenever I happened to notice later on. Didn't think about what anime was until as late as Naruto showing up on Cartoon Network, specifically because of the network's sudden marketing of the show and the ad's pronunciation of the name vs. how it was said in the show.
The first anime I went out of my way to watch was FMA. After that, early Youtube was my friend for a bunch of garbage I don't remember up until high school. I typed up all this less as an answer to this thread and more because it was fun remembering what I did as a kid.Angewomon is best girl.
Taiyou no ko Esteban and Ie naki ko. Patrician anime.
>>161038792
Pokemon doesn't count, so it was CCS. She was my first waifu and I loved every fucking second of that show. I remember eating in like 5 minutes just so I could go up to my room and watch it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjZwtGa2eZw
Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z. I used to watch them when I got home from school.
The one that got me into anime as a hobby was Fullmetal Alchemist, though.
>>161036947
Negima
>>161036947

Who here remembers Sailor Moon on Cartoon Express?
Dragon ball z unconsciously, sakura card captor consciously
>>161036947
Project A-ko, on fansubbed VHS.
>>161036947
It technically was either DBZ or Naruto, but I never liked them or watched voluntarily. And there were the Miyazaki movies on TV.
The first anime I found by myself and watched was Black Lagoon... or Girls und Panzer.
Probably DBZ but outside of Toonami the first anime I ever sat down and watched because I knew it was anime was Deen/Stay Night when I was 11
And boy when I finished it and found out it was based off of a porn game I spent pretty much the rest of the day masturbating to as many of the cgs as I could find
Sailor Moon or DBZ in the late 90s on Toonami, it's been so long I can't remember which.
pokemon
but the first series i completed was probably 'girls bravo'
>>161045129
the music hurts my heart
>>161036947
On TV was Dragon Ball (Kid Goku)
Searching by myself (Love Hina)
>>161036947

>>161038783
my n word
fuck hata i thought he was setting us all up for a maria ending
The brought a bunch of cartoons over in the 80's but i didnt think of them as anime or even knew they were from japan. The first thing i remember is watching Vampire Hunter D on the original sci-fi channel back in 1993.
Watamote, saw her posted a lot on /v/ and on /tv/ and decided to visit /a/ too. You had a lot of Attack on Titan threads back then and I liked the tight white pants Mikasa and Annie wore, some Free hate with nice shitposting... and then came Kill la Kill, Non Non Biyori and Valkyria Romance and I decided to stay here. It was more comfortable here than in Man of Steel or Dragon's Crown threads.
My first non-normie (from local tv) was Love Hina.
>>161046935
are you 10 ?
Moomin when I was young.
Cowboy Bebop was when I "started"
>>161036947
Voltron or something similar.
I must've been 4 or so. No idea what it was. You guys in your 30's are similar, so don't lie.
>>161047053
No but I'm on the spectrum.
>>161036947
Voltron
>>161047028
>normie
Fuck off, crossboarder.
>>161037528
Second.
Voltron technically. The first one I sought out that wasn't on Cartoon Network was Rosario Vampire, and i watched it dubbed. Turns out that was a very poor choice all around.
Probably Pokemon and Digimon as my first
but the first anime i did watch as an anime would be Bleach and Zero no Tsukaima
First anime ever: My Neighbor Totoro
First anime on TV: Probably Pokemon or DBZ
First anime I actively searched out: Excel Saga
that of the worst kind
>>161038359
based
I watched the first five episodes of Daphne in the Brilliant Blue while stumbling across youtube.
>>161043696
protip: don't try to google "Dorothée", it would ruin your childhood memories
>>161036947
Cardcaptor sakura
Either the original Yugioh or Sonic X.
Shana or Chobits, can't remember well.
>>161051312
mein nigga
1. naruto
2. bleach
3. one piece
and then I became a degenerate
>>161036947
I think Beyblade was the first I watched but I was unaware what anime was so I thought it was some weird ass art cartoon
First one knowing what anime is was either Case Closed or Sherlock Hound, my Japanese teacher was a fan of both so it could have been either
>>161037649
good shit anon
>>161043971
I love Candy Candy, but I think its nostalgia talking really
>>161036947
One of the firsts.
>>161036947
1994 Sonic back in 96
>>161048071
Totoro was also my first ever.
Pokemon was the first I saw on tv.
>>161036947
Speed Racer or Voltron.
Love Hina was the first I searched and watched subbed because the dub sucks.
Moomin
>>161036947
I always watched Cardcaptor Sakura (just Cardcaptors where I was) and Pokemon on Saturdays because it was on before some other cartoons I also watched. I think I was around 9 or 10. I never told anyone I liked Sakura because I was scared they would call me gay.
To this day I can still sing the english opening song.
Dragonball z.
Alps no Shoujo Heidi
Sant Seiya
Probably Dragon Ball Z.
>>161054663
Indeed, fellow Pedro.
It was Pokemon, Digimon, Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya or Yu Yu Hakusho
DBZ
