I can't exactly remember, but I do remember watching Pokemon when I was 4 or 5, but back then I didn't realise at all what an anime was, haha. Other than Pokemon, I think I also used to watch Naruto, don't as much anymore since it never really airs now, but it was a great show and I really liked the characters :3, although I think I disliked Sakura for a while XD;. I think I also watched Digimon as well from memory, along with Thundercats!

Well, if no one minds, I'm just going to age myself right here. My first anime was the Noozles and the Adventures of the Little Koala. They were on Nick Jr. when I was three or four, and I watched them without any idea that they came from another country. They were dubbed by Saban. And I remember nothing about them because I was just a little kid.

As I grew up, I watched Sailor Moon and then the Samurai Pizza Cats and Speed Racer, slowly beginning to realize that they were different from American cartoons.

The first anime that I watched fully knowing that it came from Japan was Neon Genesis Evangelion.

I don't really remember too well... I believe the very first anime I've ever watched was Sailor Moon. But I definitely recall watching Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z, Yu Yu Hakusho, Pokémon, & Yu-Gi-Oh.

My first would have been the Samurai X OVAs and then shortly after Evangelion. I do remember watching Guyver as well as the more mainstream Dragon Ball and Cadcaptor, but for the most part I'd say I had a very uncut childhood haha.

Good lord, let's see. Not counting Pokemon (which I watched when it debuted in America in....late 1998?) it might have been really old Dragonball, I think. I remember in 5th grade (2001) I felt "sneaky" for watching Adult Swim because it was like 17+ and I was 10 LOL. If it wasn't Dragonball, it was definitely Cowboy Bebop or Yu Yu Hakusho.

Idek what was my first. But it was on the line of Pokemon, Digimon, Sailor Moon (Yes, I'm a dude, and watched it back in the day) Medabots, Trigun, Card Captures, and Knights of the Zodiacs.

My first animes are Pokémon and Dragon Ball, but the first one I saw completely, all chapters, was Rurouni Kenshin. Other than that, I usually watched Shaman King, Digimon, Ranma 1/2, Captain Tsubasa, Medabots and Yu Yu Hakusho before going to school or before going to bed.

Well I used to always watch Toonami when I was younger and the first one I saw is hard to tell since I saw so many. The first one I really got into was Naruto and I watched it every week. I also saw some Gundam, Full Metal Achemist, Cowboy Bebop, Prince of Tennis, Bobabo, and some weird hamster show. Seriously does anyone remeber an anime about hamster's adventures in some back yard. I loved the action in them, when your a kid Dragon Ball Z is the greatest thing ever. I did have some moments where I wondered "What is happening?" in the more mature moments.

Pokemon. I started watching it when I was in first grade and have always loved it.

From there, I started watching Hamtaro, Cardcaptor Sakura, and Dragonball Z. But my favorite was Tenchi Muyo! which is still my favorite anime to do this day.

Probably Pokemon or Dragonball Z.

Although Pokemon is more a cartoon and it's pretty garbage to be honest.

If I remember right, it was Pokemon. I then got into more when Toonami was doing its thing back in the day (Dragonball Z, Gundam Wing, Tenchi Muyo, Yu Yu Hakusho). A friend of mine then showed me a few other anime movies and series (3x3 eyes, Spirited Away, Akura, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Hellsing). The last anime I ever watched was Great Teacher Onizuka. I tried getting into Bleach in the beginning, but lost track of it after watching about 20 episodes of it.

It was Beyblade. I remember I used to be such a fan and frisked my parents to buy me Beyblade toys and such; after which came Pokémon and DBZ.
