The first anime you ever completed. I'm sure most of us got started on those long running shonen, but if you're like me, you never actually finished them. What's the first you ever watched from beginning to end? (Movies do count)

My first anime was technically the Digimon First Movie (never realised it was anime though at the time). I never watched a long running shounen even if I saw the 'coming up next' or 'anime block' sort of things on TV I never saw the shows.

Otherwise the anime I used as my gateway to anime (due to seeing others at school watching S2) was SAO. From there I yes watched the specials, recaps (to see how they were handled not because I needed them) among others.

Since then I've explored every genre (to better understand the medium, terminology used by fans among other things from scratch, I'd picked up on gaming stuff later even if grew up with it but as never grew up with anime found it worth while to do so and because I prefer other shows, concepts and premises.) and moved far away from it. The movie bored me and otherwise I have found my types of shows. I have over time only stuck with certain second, third and so on seasons with certain earlier shows I got into earlier in my anime exploration phase.

I don't need thirty characters to say "Yu-Gi-Oh! season one." But, if every season counts for completing "Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters" as one entry, then my answer is Digimon season one aka "Digimon Adventure."

Slam Dunk if my memory serves me right.
Not a bad first anime to complete if you ask me.

I'm curious, how do you feel it stands up to anime you've more recently seen? Cause I personally really liked Angel Beats, but often people see flaws in some of their first shows as they watch more

Damn, my memory sucks but I wanna saaayy... Elfen Lied, most likely?

I mean, FMA '03 was the first anime I started watching with the intention of seeing it through all the way, but that one's 51 episodes long, so i doubt I actually finished it before starting another series.

I'm fairly sure that EL was my second anime, so I must have started watching it as a side show in the meantime and since it's only 13 Eps. long, I would have naturally finished it before FMA.

- NOT your usual shounen anime
- Pure comedy? DEAD WRONG
- Treat Gintama as SoL/weekly sitcom especially earlier seasons
- Ep 1 & 2 are for manga readers
- BIG patience for its 'slow' start

The first few seasons of the original Sailor Moon. Then Pokemon. Then the first two Digimon seasons. That was all when I was a kid though. As an adult the first anime I watched was Ouran High School Host Club in 2010.

Despite growing up with Dragon Ball, I didn't watch it or DBZ in full until years after getting into it. First completed would've probably been either Yu Yu Hakusho, Elfen Lied or 1997 Berserk.

Apart from some of those Ghibli movies it was probably Fruits Basket but at the time it wasn't a full adaptation so it was a little frustrating but I could always read the manga thankfully.

Avatar:The last Airbender was the first anime I ever watched, without knowing it was an anime.

I remember watching the first episode because I everytime saw it on top in cartoon section of a streaming platform with 9.something rating. Then I got hooked up with.

Btw, Deathnote was the first anime I watched knowing it was anime.

Probably fate zero cause I did start many long running shounen and knew its ending but never completed them completely so Fate zero.

Btw there are many pokemon and dragon ball movies that I completed as a kid but I wont count them.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

I guess Attack on Titan since it was only 1 season when I watched it but it obviously wasn't finished. So probably either Fate/Zero or Dragon Ball Z was the first series I legit completed.
