When you were young what was your very first anime show that you watched or played. And give a reason why that was your very first anime show you chose to watch or play. [if] you remember why though.
If not you don't have to give a reason.

I believe it was Sailor Moon. Reason being it was the first thing on TV when I woke up in the morning before going to school. Hardly remember anything from it these days though lol.

I think it was Ranma ½, but it might have been Sailor Moon or Fushigi Yuugi. A friend had copies of all of those and I'd go to her house to watch 'em. Actually, it could have been a lot of things. I really don't remember.

Probably Dragonball Z, though I didn't like it initially (and stopped liking it after a while). After that, there was Pokemon, then Outlaw Star, and then "Cardcaptors," which despite having one of the worst localizations in history, still managed to be entertaining to me when I was young (though I must stress this is ONLY because the source material is so absolutely wonderful; Cardcaptor Sakura is, by far, my favorite anime, and what they did to it with the dub is unforgivable). After that, I stopped watching for a while when I went into my "cartoons are for kids" phase, though.

I have come to recall only a cute little anime called Sailor Moon or some other feminine anime. That is probably the first anime I have ever seen, mainly because I do not recall anything other than cute school girls... Maybe it was Weddding Peach...

Don't call me a pervert, my older sister was the one who had control over the TV.

I never really got into Dragon Ball Z or any of their franchise.

The first anime I watched though was Sailor Moon, back when it was good and only had the first 5 characters in it. Only because I was about 6 or 7 and it was the first thing on TV back then.

Probably Pokemon... or something like Transformers (yes, I do believe that this came from Japan). Unless Power Rangers had an animated series in addition to the live action series.

Pokemon or the butchered "Cardcaptors" on Kids WB on Saturday. Because it was on TV on Saturday morning.

My first "serious" anime: Ah! My Goddess. DVD impulse buy at Wal-Mart. I actually bought vol. 3 first because that was the only one they had in the store at the time.

...oh, Pokemon, why did you have to take the place as my first anime?! (Not that I hate it, I just hoped it was another anime...)
Then again, maybe it was Dragonball Z... I remember watching it and totally not understanding what it was about... XDDDD

My first serious anime, AFTER knowing what an anime was, was... POKEMON AGAIN?! *headdesk*

Uh, either Sailor Moon or Cardcaptor Sakura; I can't remember which one I watched first. They were usually on after I had school, and I found it them a bit more interesting than most of the other children’s programmes that were on. ( =3=) After I learned what anime was, my first serious anime was Katekyo Hitman REBORN!.

Pokemon. the First Anime I took interest i was Sailor Moon. I watched it up 'till the 3rd series, because Usagi's/Serena's Voice Got Really Annoying.

And apparently Graceful is still alive after a very long hiatus ♥

Well sweeties, my first anime was both Dragon Ball (The one with Young Goku. Not Z, the series before it...despite the fact Dragon Ball Z is still called Dragon Ball in Japan.) and Sailor Moon. I remember when I was growing up, those two shows would play back to back every morning.

It was also funny noticing the cheaply made attempts at censorship in Dragon Ball. XD
