| For me, I believe it was Sword Art Online that started it all for me. It was a lonely vacation in Brazil and my Netflix decided to recommend it to me lol. After that, I went to watch Owari no Seraph and other shows. Now I'm who I am today... and that's a good thing?????? |
| Well, the first time, it would be either Pokemon or Doraemon, but afterward i have a long hiatus with anime, and then around 2012 i watched FMA: B and become interested to anime once again.. |
Reality is the lifeblood that makes a work pulse with energy. Reality itself is entertainment  |
| SAO, is the first ever anime that i watched, but NouCome was the one which made me start investing on anime. though i only watch like 10 then stop, but in late 2016 i watched Panty and Stocking, and that's when i start watching anime for real. worst decision of my life. |
DuckMannnn said: is this a zombie is also one of my first animes! dropped the season two thoWell, if you don't count Naruto, Pokemon and Doraemon, Is this a Zombie? started it all for me. |

Makoto said: Well, besides Pokemon and DBZ. Gundam Wing, Inuyasha and Naruto. This aside from Inuyasha. But I think Code Geass got me into watching. |
 |
| my childhood was pokemon, detective conan dragonball naruto but when i know what im watching is called anime then my first series was seto no hanayome then these come more n more, anime/manga fan for 9 years :) |
| I think if you live in the Western Hemisphere and were born in the mid-to-late 90's, the answer will always be Pokémon. |
  |
| Macross. Saw it on TV as a kid, Loved the crap out that mecha animation and battles. After that I went to Dragon Ball, Yu Yu Hakusho, Seint Seya, Shurato,Magic Knight Rayearth, Sailor Moon and many other's till today ^^ |
 |
| Death Note, I was looking through 300 channels on my tv to see if there are some interesting ones I don't know about and bam, Death Note on some cartoon channel. The third episode, I think. I was instantly hooked and looked on the net for the 1st and 2nd episode. And after I finished it I wanted to watch more so I found some streaming sites and watched Psycho Pass, Shiki, Kuroshitsuji - and it went fast from there. |

| Without knowing about "anime" it was Sailor Moon or Yattaman.. but in fact it was Dragon Ball Z, which my mom didn't allow me to watch. It was 2002? or 2003? and I was maybe 8 years old. Much older friend came to my city with manga-anime magazines, in love with Dragon Ball and showed me and my sister the new world. After DB, I watched Slayers, because it also was on TV. I remember how hard it was to find anime on the Internet. But thanks to the magazines I got to know a lot of titles. I loved DN Angel, Hunter x Hunter, Chobits, Evangelion, Mars, Fullmetal Panic, Ragnarok the Animation... I remember downloading random episodes from eMule... good old times hahaha~ |
| The first anime I ever watched was neon genesis evangelion when I was 9 or something. I didn't really think about it being anime then. So the anime that introduced me to everything was Angel Beats, I just watched a random series and I liked it and went on to Sword Art Online and Mirai Nikki and so on. Later I discovered even better (and underrated) anime series. So, well, I guess it all starts somewhere. I would never rewatch the stuff I used to like |
| Haruhi was the first thing I watched. I needed content about being a young adult with all the confusion puberty brings you. I was hooked for a while and then went on-and-off. |
| WEAPONS - My blog, for reviews of music, anime, books, and other things |
| My first two anime Fruit Basket and Ouran High school I re watch them a vew time before I found orher anime like it Like Special A and Kaichou wa Maid-sama after That I keep Watching anime at first only Shoujo romcom anime but Later All kind of genres. |
| Doraemon og Sailor moon, watched it in my childhood! |
 |
| *flashbacks to me watching and SINGING along to pichi pichi pitch* it was a big thing in my age back then i still memorize their songs now |
  |
| Well growing up, I was always a fan of Naruto, but it never really got me into anime as a whole. It was only until a couple of years ago, when my friend showed me Code Geass. That show was what got me hooked into anime. I really need to rewatch it lol |
 ♔ caught in the wonder ♔ |
| Digimon data squad when i was a kid...then stopped watching anime for a while...then bumped into Toradora....great anime...then a ton of others... |
 |
| For me it was Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. It wasn't the first anime I watched, but it was definitely the one that got me into the medium. |
*sips tea* |
| Ghost in the shell probably it was the best show for me when i was a kid |
 |
| The 1st series i brought was DRAGON BALLZ since age 7..then come naruto and the rest, snk.. Fruit basket, texnolyze, ffxv:kingslaive, appleseed..and etc. I keep the DVD in safe place so my mom wont throw it. |
 u'll never understood how the feel to be me. When the boundaries limit me to express or share my feeling. When u want to explain the truth but you are not allowed to. When u need someone to talk but u can't say anything |
| Black Bullet because I'm a lolicon. Loli is great! |
 |
| Both EVANGELION (the original TV Series) and K-ON! were the ones truly responsible for bringing me deeper into anime. Sure, there were Sailormoon and CCS, but they weren't as highly influential as the other two for me. |
| "All life begins with Nu and ends with Nu." However, in Gundam, all life begins with Nu and ends with Hi-Nu. While in KanColle, all life begins with Nu and ends with Kinu. |
| Death Note was my first after that watched bleach it was the anime that made me want to watch more anime. |
 |
| I watched anime way back I didn't know about it till few years ago well it was last year that I got hooked to it, it was after watching Akame ga Kill. |
| Ah, this age old question again. Let see... The series that got me into anime was Durarara. |
 |
| finding anime itself was something that made me like it.. it was different than the silly cartoons that went on tv. but my first anime was prob naruto or dragon abll gt |

Kisaragi said: Persona 4 The Animation, had the post anime depression after watching T^T And to think that I thought I was the only guy who had this as an entry anime :'). I watched the series after I played the game. it's one of my all time fave games. P4 the Animation was my first anime but the first anime that I credit for really getting me started with anime was Gurren Lagann |

| Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, Naruto.... |
| Before I even knew what anime is, I've watched Sailor Moon, Ganbare! Kickers and even some episodes of Cat's Eye. I was around 5-7 years old during that time so I can't remember anything that happened in these shows. What brought me back to it was actually an "only average" anime, the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series. Back then I even bought a manga magazine just because it had Yu-Gi-Oh! on it's cover. That was the moment I learned about Naruto, Shaman King, HunterXHunter, One Piece and many other series that were published in that magazine. And so, my interest in anime was born c: |
| It was The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya for me. I saw a random amv of it, watched the show, and then decided to try out watching more anime. |
  |
| Dragon Ball Z , was my first anime , but I had no idea that it was an anime or what anime even is when I was watching that. What got me interested in anime was Naruto , FMAB and Death Note. |

RyouKousaku said: No one said naruto? Lol that's not my problem(dont be serious) First anime I ever watched is Naruto. And then naruto brought me to watch some sounen like dragon ball, bleach, one piece, ninja hatory, and Detective conan. Also, anime makes me feel good for my mood. Exactly my thoughts, I thought more people would say Naruto. For me it was also Naruto, I remember the first episode I watched was when Naruto was learning how to run up a tree. |
 |
| I watched Tenchi Muyo and Inuyasha growing up and then forgot about anime until my best friend got into it a few years ago so I started with Death Note and AOT before rewatching Inuyasha and the Final Act which totally sold me and I've never looked back lmao |
"Before I slit your throat, I'll give you a kiss," Nezumi said softly. "You'll find out exactly how much better I am at giving farewell kisses."  |
| Honestly, Sword Art Online (unless you count Ghibli films I saw in childhood like Kiki's Delivery Service and Howl's Moving Castle, but I didn't know that they were made in Japan or called anime) |
| I'd watched a few anime before but Kotoura-san during the February of 2016 really fueled it, although I haven't had much time overall to watch much anime, i plan to watch a lot more this summer But my overall first anime was Pokemon if that even counts, and Ponyo at my local movie theater back in 2009 when I was a child I then stopped and picked up Soul Eater in the summer of 2015, then SNK, then Ouran, stopped for a bit. Now here I am. |
