    Captain Tsubasa, Digimon Adventure and Detective Conan come to mind. There's many others as well like Slam Dunk, Dragon Ball, Pokemon and Zorro but those three are what I remember most.

    For me, aside from Pokémon, it would have to be Digimon and Yu-Gi-Oh. I had no idea what anime was back then; if I did, I definitely would have tried watching more. :b

  • Mine were Beyblade, Beyblade V-Force, Beyblade G-revolution, Digmon 01 and 02 and Digimon Frontier. I can't even began to name all of the characters I crushed on. That was back when I was really n00bish and annoying. >< The reason I don't watch them anymore is because they are hard to find online. I also don't have the proper attention span to sit down and watch something on my laptop or iPad. :/

  • OOO haha

    I remember watching some pokemon, Digimon etc...
    But the one that had an impact on my childhood was Hamtaro. Really, it's an unpopular thing to say, how can a hamster change my life? But he did. It was so cute i watched the episodes over and over again. It was adorable, seeing the lil hamster going round the city with other hamsters.

  • Ahhh my god. ;_;

    InuYasha, Cardcaptors, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Hamtaro, Digimon, Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball, Tenchi Muyo.. especially Tenchi. That show affected my life so much as a kid and I was so attached to the story.

    Definitely missing some but that's all that sprang to my mind.

    Let's never mind Pokemon and Digimon. Those are obvious.

    My bro had a few tapes of Gundam Wing and Trigun, as well as the first DVD of The Big O. He only let me see the first... two? episodes of Trigun, because it gets really, really dark. I remember the first episode just being freakin' hilarious, though. Gundam Wing was pretty fun, too, what I'd seen of it, and not horribly heart-wrenching early on the way, say, Zeta Gundam was. It was pretty much Babby's First Sunrise Mecha Show, honestly, and had I started with something like Zeta or, God help me, 0080 when I was ten, I would probably be a broken mess today.

    There was also some other stuff on Toonami -- DBZ and the like -- that I watched occasionally. When he left home, I started running into some CLAMP works and was really into that. When the whole eighth grade class went on a weekend-long trip around Chicago and I couldn't go, someone brought me back a copy of the first volume of the Chobits manga. Which is both pretty cool and pretty weird.

    So basically, I think what I'm trying to say is that I discovered anime and manga around the time when you could actually get it for a price that an eighth-grader from a family of average means could afford and they are filthy enablers. Wait, what?

  • My first anime, like most people was Pokemon. It was a HUGE deal around where I lived and it had adorable creatures so of course I got sucked into it! I was too young (3+) to even know it was an anime anyways. xD

    As I got older I still watched Pokemon a lot and Pokemon was still a huge part of me then too but I also watched a bunch of other anime too. Hamtaro and Digimon were two that I got really into as well. Had merchandise of them and such :3

    I saw a bunch of anime on tv like Dragonball and Yu-Gi-Oh but I never got into them because they didn't interest me. I watched a little Sailor Moon because my best friend was into it but I never got into it as much.

  • ??? - I remember coming home and watching Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura, but I don't know how old I was. :(

    1999 - I remember in 2nd grade, we voted what movie we want to watch and it was the first Pokemon movie. Everyone at my school liked Pokemon. The first Pokemon episode I believe I saw was the one where they found the Togepi egg and woke up an Aerodactyl.

    2003 - I remember watching Fullmetal Alchemist on Toonami or Adult Swim. I don't think I saw past episode 20s, though. I watched other series on TV, such as Inuyasha and Zatch Bell. I don't think I understood that I was watching 'anime' until...

    2005 - My best friend and I were really hooked onto Naruto. She was the one who bought manga and showed me the volumes.

  • Had exposure to a bunch of magical girl shows when I was young; some I remember are Cardcapture Sakura, Sailor Moon and Tokyo MewMew (Aired on POPGIrl but then suddenly stopped airing the dubs)

    Pokemon came about when I watch the Diamond and Perl series and followed most of the epiosdes on a daily basis.

    One I remember owning on DVD was the Initial D third stage movie which eventually lead me to watch the actual series late on.

    Pokemon, Digimon, and Sailor Moon are what come to mind from when I was a young girl, but when I was a preteen, I got into .hack//SIGN. I still love that show.

  • My Childhood Anime was

    1994-2001
    1. Urusei Yatsura (maybe or might be something similar, was one at the time)
    2. Megazone 23
    3. Saint Seiya
    4. Original 1979 Gundam
    5. Gundam Z
    6. Gundam ZZ
    7. Dairuger(Voltron)
    8. Bubblegum Crisis
    9. Kimagure Orange Road
    10. Maison Ikkoku
    11.Creamy Mami?
    12. Galatt (maybe was only 2 at the time)

    2001-2004
    1. Sailor Moon (I cannot forget about my Sailor Venus crush at the time)

    2. Original Macross
    3. Mospeada
    4. Pokemon(Покемон)
    5. Some Bits of Galaxy Express 999
    6. Card Captor Sakura
    7. Dragon Ball

    2005
    1.Evangellion

    This is list of just what I remember watching as a kid. There is more to the list but I cannot remember.
    All of anime from my early childhood 1994-2001 were all either 80's or 70's and the later childhood(2001-2005) from 90's.
    I was exposed to anime since around 1 or 2. There is many anime where I live at the time and even channels that shows anime at morning and night time on weekends and at 16:00- 18:00 on weekdays. I remember wanting to rent tapes of various anime.

    For Pokemon, I don't recognize about until 2003. Though still good memories and my favorite was "Mewtwo Returns".
    I was very hooked on Sailor Moon when it first came out in December '01. At the time, I was always waiting for next episode. I also remember having a crush on Minako.

    Out of all anime in my childhood, my most favorite would be the UC Gundam and Macross Series. I like the Mecha genre the most even today. I spent more money on merchandise of those two series at the time than other anime. I like Mecha anime the most out of all anime.

    I still watch 80's and 90's anime today btw. Miss the days when everyone was talking about Gundam, Macross, and Sailor Moon.

  • I don't know Anything about anime when I watched theses around the Year 2001-2005

    1.Pokemon [i still have some cards Even Premier Edition ones]
    2.Beyblade [I used own a Driger Beyblade]
    3.Yu-Gi-Oh (2002) [i still have a Collecter Tin i think]
    4.Battle B-Daman [I used to own a Cobalt Blade]
    and some of Dragon Ball Z i Watched on tv (Budokai 3 was one of my first PS2 Games)

    DBZ Is Best Anime i have ever Watched in my Whole life

    I stopped Watching anime after that :(


    2006-Present : I started Watching Anime Again, After watching one Episode of Naruto Aired on Cartoon Network
    Strange thing Though Somehow Naruto Reminded me of Goku from DBZ , Hmmmm... Maybe its Their Willpower to Become the Best they be or is it , that Both Characters Teached me Same Lesson,
    to Never Give Up that easy & Fight till the very end....

    i'm Happy That Anime became apart of my Childhood and i learned to Never Give Up when things get Tough in Life

  • My childhood animes had to be Pokémon, and Zatch Bell. As mediocre as the anime was now that I look back on it.... I can't not love to watch it. It's one of those animes that give me a nostalgic feeling whenever I go back and watch it!

    Ah! I remember Zatch Bell, although it wasn't one of the series that I would regularly watch. Don't know much about the series other than the main character is some sort of puppet...or something.
