| If you haven't changed or haven't forgot, what anime did you consider as your favorite when you started watching anime? It's fun to see how much someone's taste changed over time. My first favorite anime, after watching about 50 anime or so was Bungou Stray Dogs. I really enjoyed all three seasons and I switched to manga after it. |

My first favorite anime was Dragon Ball Z. |
| I didn't bother favoriting anything until Violet Evergarden. |
| Probably Dragon Ball, otherwise Pokemon, but One Piece is my first one that's still among my favorites today. |

| My first favorites were a bunch of action shounen and school romance anime. Back then, I loved the energy, the hype, and all the dramatic aspect they carried. But over time, I’ve grown out of them the over the top screams, the predictable romance plots, and the constant crashes that used to excite me now rarely hold my interest anymore. |
| My first favourite anime was slam dunk..it's the reason I such a huge fan of basketball |

| @tchitchouan helmet chichi was so cool before she became an overprotective mother and nagging wife. |
| Mine was https://myanimelist.net/anime/1572/Jungle_Taitei Although admittedly there wasn't much selection at the time. And my favorite has changed many, many times over the years. They are more like favorites, as I like different titles for different reasons. Probably the longest running favorite was, and still is, Cowboy Bebop. It's the anime I judge all others against. |
| Elfen Lied cause it was one of my first anime I watched after getting into the medium. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |

| @Captain-577 That's how toriyama made her in the original db. |
| My first favourite was definitely Pokemon (Diamond & Pearl series to be exact), but if that doesn't count, then Attack on Titan. |
 |
| When I was a kid, I think it was Digimon Adventure (still great btw). When I started watching anime consistently back in 2018, Steins;Gate. It's not among the ten favorites in my profile anymore, but I think it's still in my top 20-25. |

| @Nirinbo What a weak favourite! My favourite is still my number 1, and probably will be forever! (Yes, I am indeed power scaling favourite animes.) |
| It was Puella Magi Madoka Magica.It increased my interest in anime even more and it is still among my favorites. |
| Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters I even though 5000 years ago, based on the show itself, Duel Monsters and Millenium items are real things that originally from Ancient Egypt. Lol. |
| Mmm... I'd say JoJo's Bizzare Adventure. |
| Either Pokemon or Doraemon. But if they are not count. Probably My Hero Academia but I didn't like it much now. |
| I guess probably Galaxy Express 999. It's still up there, but other anime have since surpassed it. Since I watched it as a kid. |
 |
| Pokemon back when I didn't even know it was called 'anime'. |
| Hyouka, it was my first favorite anime and it's sad we never get more seasons after that tragedy. |

| Cardcaptor Sakura (watched the Nelvana dub). I liked that the titular protagonist was actually smart and the progression of each episode appealed to the part of me that loved adventure games (thought the anime was like if Zelda was the hero instead of Link). But most of all, it's because of the glorious, plucky girlfailure that is Meiling. It took 20 years before she was finally surpassed as my favourite anime character. |

| @RaiYou Lol, here we meet again, Hyouka was and still is one of my first fav. But i think even before Hyouka, i watched The angel next door, which form the first few episode on, i knew was and will forever be my favorite. |

| First one that stuck was Kiki's Delivery Service after seeing it on Disney Channel in the late 1990s. |
| Well I guess probably Pokemon, I must've started watching that when I was like a toddler lol. Indigo League and the Johto series mostly I guess. They had a ton of VHS tapes and DVDs at the local library with episodes and the movies. |
| it must have been vinland saga and attack on titan, i'm a wit fanboy back then. But if you're talking manga, even before i know what anime or manga even is i think it would be kungfu boy and detective conan |
| My favorite as a kid was Cardcaptors. I still like both the Japanese and English versions of the show. |
| その目だれの目？ |
| Id like to say Saint Seiya, but it fell off my favorites after rewatching it as an adult. so Im going with dragon ball. I watched over 10 anime by that time and, up to this day, still among my favorites. |
| :v |
| My first anime was Dragon Ball Z, but my first favorite anime was Gokusen. Gokusen was the first anime that got me into manga. I wanted more of the story, and I found the manga. And even then, I wanted more of the manga! Not that I didn't like Dragon Ball Z, but I never wanted to look up the manga. Perhaps it's because the Dragon Ball anime series kept coming out with new episodes and series. Like, even after Dragon Ball Z, it seemed to keep going. So I never felt like I had to read the manga to get more of the story. Though either way, I kind of fell off the Dragon Ball series, but I never did for Gokusen. I even read fanfiction of it. It was very little fanfiction, but I read it. I even fantasized about a story in my head. Yeah, I was deeply obsessed. |
| For me First Fav Anime was Death Note .. |
 |
| My first favorite anime was most likely SAO. It is not one of my favorites anymore but I still consider it a decent show. |
| First fav was definitely Fate/Zero. It was unlike anything that I had seen before at that time. I had always watched anime in passing as a kid (DBZ, Inuyasha, and Naruto on Toonami) but as I started to watch anime on my own in college I started gravitating towards the super gritty shows like Psycho Pass and AOT. Fate/Zero was the peak for me in that phase of my anime life. |
 |
| Saint Seiya was the first anime I became fan-enough to consider it a favorite, and it remains a favorite until this day and time. |
