Your First Anime?

[Hiche..]

I wasn't conversant with the term "anime" until around 4-5 years ago. >.>

Other than Pokémon, which was my childhood cartoon, I remember the first anime I watched was Karin. I saw it on YouTube and played the first couple of episodes, which were strangely interesting. The next day, I entered YouTube again, wanting to watch more episodes of Karin, and Bleach was from the recommended videos. I watched the first episode, and fell in love with the show.

During my "noob" days watching anime, I hated subbed anime; I only downloaded English dubbed anime. But, when I discovered MyAnimeList, there were TOO many anime that I wanted to watch, but most weren't dubbed yet, so I took my chances and went to watch My Wife's a Mermaid, the first English subbed anime to occupy my HDD.

So. Yea.

 

[Fuyu]

Watched: Akira. What does that say about me?

Watched knowing it was anime: DB or DBZ

Subbed: I'm assuming Inuyasha.

 

[Gero50]

Mine were

DBZ: Dubbed, Pokemon Dubbed
I saw thise when I was around 6-7ish.

I started getting into subbed around age 10 and they were
Detective Conan, Pocket Monsters aka Pokemon in the original. Never really saw much of that one til recently.

Thats about it for the first ones anyway, there is a few more but I'll list these for now.

What was the first anime you ever...
watched?
~Pokemon. Generic. xDD;;
watched knowing it was "anime"?
~Hmm... Spirited Away. If you haven't seen it, you've been living under a rock. It's one of the best anime movies I've ever seen! Overrated, but awesome. xDD;;
watched subbed?
~The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. When I first saw this, I thought it was the best thing I'd ever seen. Other animes caught my eye halfway through so I never finished it until about 2 years later. D;

If you don't count, Pokemon which I began watching when I was 7, then it would have to be Dragon Ball Z when it had a Friday Nights at 9pm spot on Cartoon Network when I was 9.

Subsequently, I watched the following anime:

Digimon (Digimon Adventure, Digimon Adventure 02 and the one with cards and Takato)
Sailor Moon
Tenchi something-or-other
Sonic X (It counts.)

 

[KitKat13]

Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura, I wasn't really bothered whether it was an anime or a cartoon. :3 ..I realized that it was an anime when I was around 8 years old. xD

 

[Skip Class]

~ Watched?
It was either Pokemon or Sonic Underground (Yep Old sonic XD)

~ Watched knowing it was "anime"?
Pokemon.... By far it was Pokemon. ALthough being my 7 year old self it was more "JAPAN MADE IT" rather than calling it anime XD
