Kaiketsu Zorro or Pokemon, was too little to remember which one was my first. They use to come on TV.

My very first anime was Nausica, probably about 7 years ago now. I rented it from my local video store and thought it was brilliant! Than I didn’t watch another anime again for over 5 years lmao.

It had to be either Inuyasha, Evangelion or Samurai X, I was too little to remember now but I did watch it on TV, back in the day there was an anime section that aired a lot of dubbed anime on Chilean TV.

I think for me the first movie was Princess Mononoke which I saw on TV.
The first series was Naruto which I think I watched on KissAnime (back then it was still reasonable).
I probably glimpsed at some other series too, but I did not really consider them worth watching. Thus, I'll stick with Naruto being the first.

It was likely Dragon Ball Z Kai on TV, but I was young and didn't understand what was going on, especially since I watched the different episodes sporadically. The first one I did understand and what got me into watching anime was Death Note, on YouTube (The most legal way to watch anime of course) back in 2015.

If I count my childhood, Pokemon was the first Anime I've seen, alongside some Studio Ghibli movies and Ginga Densetsu Weed. Pokemon I watched when it broadcast on TV and the movies on VHS/DVD (Jesus, VHS? Damn it was a long time ago).
But, if we start from the first Anime I watched on my own volition after knowing what the difference between an Anime and a western cartoon was, it would be Mayo Chiki, which, to this day, is still my all-time favourite series. I first watched it on some website (most likely kissanime, nowadays I use animepahe) after clips from the Anime had haunted my "recommended" tab of Youtube for weeks - thanks to YT's broken algorithm. I watched it on a whim, but as it turned out, I really enjoyed it, and it all started from there.

Well, it actually depends...
In my childhood it was Pokemon, but I didn't know it was anime back then.

Then before I actually started watching Anime actively (and knowing it's actually anime and not American cartoon xD yes, you can kill me haha) was "Lovely Complex"

And my official first anime was "Kuroshitsuji", at least I count it as a "starter" for myself because since that time I started watching anime knowing it actually is anime ^^

I think my first anime was either Pokemon or Yugioh or maybe it was Sailor Moon on tv. But I can't really remember which one came first because I was little. But I can't really remember what my first official anime was .

When I was little, I watched a bunch of Transformers, Pokemon, and some Bakugan. For some reason around 6th grade I binge-watched The Transformers, Headmasters (first subbed anime I saw), Armada, and some of the other series, but I don't think I realized they were anime even tho I knew what it was at the time lol. Then around the same time two friends of mine tried to get me into anime by showing me the Attack on Titan recap and parts of the second Fullmetal Alchemist movie, Death Note, and Fairy Tail. Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) was the first one I actively watched knowing it was anime tho, which was February 2018 in my room.

My first anime I didn't even know was anime. When I was four or older I had these Hello Kitty/Sanrio VHS tapes that I loved to pop in and watch on my old TV! Then in 2nd grade, I discovered the joy known as Pokemon and then everything changed and I fell down the rabbit hole becoming the otaku I am today.


Btw the Hello Kitty & Friends' & Keroppi's openings are 🔥!

Probably some of Ribbon Knight, Little Prince, Swan Lake, 12 Months on TV. Ribbon Knight and Little Prince I remember I had watched on TV when we visited our aunts, so only 1 episode.

But I remember first movie I watched on video was Jack and the Beanstalk. Was with subtitles that I couldn't even read. Probably first and only subbed anime I watched as a kid.

Also remember when I visited my cousins, they rented tapes of Saber Rider, Kabamaru and Lensman the movie. Those anime where eye openers.
