Your First Anime.
 
What was the very first anime you ever watched? The very fist anime I ever seen was Pokemon. I was 8 years old at the time and I loved it! Now at age 14 I watch all kinds of anime and I'm a major anime fan.

The first anime I ever saw was Digimon, I got hooked on it and watched it every sturday, I never heard of pokemon until the 3rd grade people were trding the cards during school hours so they banned the cards for the school.

Pokemon for me! I remember when i first saw it- in hebrew.

Super Torchic July 12th, 2004 1:57 PM

pokemon for me well it was in ...Chinese...hehe It was fun

Kairi July 12th, 2004 2:19 PM

Sailor Moon, the dub on Cartoon Network. I watched every episode and taped them too, I adored it. I later watched stuff like DBZ on the same station. ^_^;

Well, I think that Pokemon was my first Anime. That, or Sailor Moon. I can't remember... Either way, Pokemon was the show that got me interested in Japanese animation, because after doing some research on the show, I learned that it was from Japan, and that it was called 'Anime'. I've liked it ever since, and here recently I've learned about several other Anime shows like Tokyo Mew Mew, and InuYasha, which are some of my favorites as well. ^_^

The first anime I saw was either Pkmn or Sailor Moon... I dun really remember... ^ ^;

As a kid I grew up with many anime series' but at the time I didn't know they came from Japan, you don't care about that kind of stuff when your a kid XD

I believe shows like the Thundercats and the Transformers were at least animated in Japan or so what Google is telling me, I also watched a show named Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors. Oh and I believe Speed Racer was one too...

And one that sticks most in my mind is one named the Mysterious Cities of Gold which according the google was a Japanese/French co-Production, I remember it had some big golden condor plane in it XD

I was such an 80s child XD

But all in all Pokémon was the first show I reconized as coming from japan and it was that show which got me intrested in other anime shows.

*lol* I'm all nostalgic now looking at pictures from these old shows I used to watch XD

coco July 12th, 2004 3:45 PM

sailor moon was the first anime i ever watched (i was about 4). i used to want to be one of the sailor scouts

~Ozy~ July 12th, 2004 3:56 PM

First anime I *ever* watched was Speed Racer. After that it was Pokemon, but I diddn't regard them as coming from Japan or anything. The first shows that got me interested in anime were Outlaw Star and 08th MS Team. I loved watching them in my grandmother's basement. Good times all around.

Jeremy July 12th, 2004 4:17 PM

My first anime was uhhh...*thinks really hard.* Dragon Ball, or Sailormoon. Or was it Pokémon. I'm not exactly sure. :P

inu-yasha210 July 12th, 2004 5:25 PM

Legendary_Pokegirl July 12th, 2004 5:36 PM

The first anime I have ever watched was Pokemon. XD Surprise, surprise.

Jesus Freak Josh July 12th, 2004 6:14 PM

The first time I watched animé was when I was 7 and it was Pokémon! ^_^
My friend was talking about it and I'm like 'Huh?'
He explained and he told me when and where to watch it.
And here I am, 12 years, still watching!

Cherrim July 12th, 2004 6:21 PM

For me? Well, I've got a few vague memories, but I can't classify which one came first. So I'll just tell all of them. o.o;

First, I remember Hello Kitty and Keroppi and Friends. I think those were their titles, anyway. ^_^; They used to be on YTV a long time ago, and now they're on Treehouse. =o I didn't watch them regularly, but I did enjoy them once in a while. ^_^; I think I also remember another show of the same general type, but I can't recall the name. o_O

There was also Dragonball. I remember watching it one night after Reboot. =o I don't remember liking it, though... lol. I think I was too young. ^_^;

Then there was this movie that I used to rent all the time. I LOVED it, and I found out either last year or the year before that it was an anime. It was called "The Last Unicorn" and I cannot seem to find it ANYWHERE now. ;_; I want to watch it so badly now... especially since it brings back such nostalgia of my early childhood and the fact that it likely was my very first anime... whether I knew that or not. XD

Then of course there was Sailor Moon. I think I knew it came from Japan, but I was too naive to think any further than that. It was just another cartoon to me... although it was basically my first "obsession". o.o; I absolutely adored that show. I taped almost all the episodes, I had the Sailor Moon bedding, the curtains, all the toys and puzzles... XD; I don't know where that stuff is now.

The first anime that I knew was an anime, though, was Pokemon... or Digimon. Probably both. o.o

The first anime I ever saw was Pokemon. It seems I was between 7 and ten at the time...it's still one of my favorites :)

AZSupraT July 12th, 2004 6:56 PM

First/Only anime I watch/ever attempted to watch is Pokemon. Sure Ive 'seen' other but not really 'watched' them

nomed666 July 12th, 2004 6:59 PM

my first anime show that i watched was either dragon ball or pokemon.

Toothache July 12th, 2004 7:23 PM

First ever anime I ever saw, was when I was about 7 or 8. Yeah, that's long before most of you were that age. The Mysterious Cities of Gold, I loved that series. We got them all in the UK around that time, and I watched it every chance I could.

Mind you, that was long before I realised it was anime. I thought it was just another cartoon. :-)

Lol, 'The Last Unicorn' is in the video store where I am. All the family movies are with the little kid movies, and I see it on the top shelf to the right every time I go there. XD

jokestr2004 July 12th, 2004 9:08 PM

Umm like SwordKirby.... Pokemon... w00t.

AngelWolfie July 12th, 2004 9:32 PM

My first anime was Speed Racer! XD Last time I saw it I was abouth 3 though..To young to know it was an anime and too young to even understand it! XP It was the only show I knew of that was in an anime style...And when I was five, I saw like a sneak preveiw or something of pokemon, and I thought it was made by the people that made speed racer XD And then I changed the channel because I thought my mom might not let me watch it :P

jokestr2004 July 12th, 2004 9:49 PM

lol That's a very interesting story indeed...

Yeah, my 2nd grade Art Teacher thought "Totoro" by Miyazaki was by the creator of Pokemon... shows how much she knows. I looked all through the credits and could not find Tajiri anyway then, so I was stumped.

For a month or so after that I thought all anime was by Satoshi... stupid art teacher..

I remember! It was looong ago, 10 years ago. Wouldn't havea clue what it was called or anything, but I remember that it was a soccer animé. Every week me and my cousins would just sit in front of teh TV and watch ourselves to death, and we would pretend we could all play soccer like they did, and broke a window or two. It was in Arabic, Btw. I couldn't remember anything past that. The next anime that I saw that I can actually remember was Pokemon. Then CCS and DBZ came about in the same time into my life. I remember not seeing anything for about a year or two, then one day I was staying up late, and this channel on TV had a BubbleGum Crisis marathon, and I missed the last bunch of episodes the last day. Thats when I wanted to know more, and did research on google, thus discovering "Animé" and have loved it ever since.
