| Yep. Just about everything I watched on Toonami over 15 years ago I still think of fondly. And beyond that, I still remember the first anime I saw that wasn't on American TV--Slayers. Ah, Slayers. You will forever remain in my heart. It's been almost 14 years now~ |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
| I can't say I do... SAO was my first anime, and although I found it amazing at the time (oh god) and for a while after, then I finally started to realise that it actually sucked. So, a no from me. |
| Speed Racer still gives me a nice and warm feeling when I watch it. So yes. |
| My first anime was Hamtaro and I do get nostalgic about it, but I can't remember exactly which episodes I watched and I didn't watch too many, just the same ones over and over, but I can't actually remember too much about it. I loved the show as a kid, but I doubt I will ever try to actually complete it (200 of the 300 episodes are only licensed in Italian, so that's a bit of a problem). I fairly recently watched Happy Happy Clover which is fairly similar (adapted from a manga from the same magazine and they're both about cute rodents doing cute things) and honestly I think HHC is the better anime. My first anime when I was actually getting into anime was SAO which I have given a 4/10 to so I can't exactly say I think fondly of it. |

| Not me. I rarely let nostalgia cloud my thinking. |

JohnnyBme said: Icire said: My first anime was either Death Note or Attack on Titan. Yeah I just got into it. You never had dbz or something on TV in your childhood? Some people here on MAL make me feel old. I still remember anime on TV before Toonami like anime on Sci-Fi with stuff like Venus Wars, New Adventures of Gigantor, Vampire Hunter D and Lily Cat. |
| Pokemon.. Not really, But that OP kinda gives 'nostalgia' feeling. |
| The first anime I watched who introduced me to the anime world was Blood+ and it's still one of my favorites to this date, so yes, I'm fondly of my first anime. |
 |
| Jup, still love Digimon/KKJ/Detective Conan/Doremi |
| re watching naruto right now still amazing. the 9th opening still puts me in a nostalgic mood. |
| The first anime I probably watched as Speed Racer...I'm talking early 90's Cartoon Network, bad dubbing and all. Yeah I guess I respect that shee. |
| The football field isn't the only place where you could use a good line. |
| I guess you don't mean anime from the time all cartoons looked the same ,cause like hell I remember what was first. Thw first anime that was distinguished for me from others was Inuyasha, and it still has a special place in my heart. |
 |
| First anime was pokemon like a lot of people. I would not watch it today but it has nostalgic value. First "mature" anime was inuyasha back in the days when it aired on adult swim, tried watching it from the beginning like a year ago but ended up dropping it. I still saw the end of final act though. |
| well i guess pokemon still has a place in my heart. good memories, and all them time spent batteling for trading cards. |
 |
| If you exclude my random viewings of Pokemon and Yugioh before 2007, then my first anime is Dragon Ball in late 2013, which is my all-time favorite series! |
 |
| My first anime was school Rumble, and it still holds a special place within my heart. I mean, I wouldn't watch stuff like that anymore nowadays; So I don't think I could ever re-watch it, but I look fondly upon the time I spend watching it. |
| My first anime was Spirited Away. I watch it every year and I'll go to my grave still loving that movie. |
 |
| Yes I do. It was Death Note by the way. |
| Astro Boy was my very first anime, but I haven't heard or thought about it in years. The first anime that I completed on the other hand, has a special place in my kokoro for making me interested enough to reach within the depths of the medium. |
 |
| Well, there was this kid's show that airs random anime and one of the anime was called Candy...lol when I think about it now, the anime was just an average soap opera...yeah, Kakashi was in that anime. |
| Fondly? I wouldn't use that word but I still do respect Death Note as a very good anime.. |
| Hell Yeah!! My first anime was Naruto and I love it... I still rewatch the episodes when i'm bored and I don't think I will ever stop admiring it. |
| Soul Eater, I still look upon it positively but I'm not sure if I would rewatch it. |
 |
| I still watch Pokemon religiously. I can't watch the first episode without crying. |
| Got oppai? |
| Terra e ? Oh yes I do! Great OP and story. |
 |
| Probably was technically Pokemon on Cartoon Network/Boomerang as a kid. Actually getting into and watching though was Dragon Ball, friend introduced it to me as a kid. Pokemon I'm not big on anymore, it's something to watch. I might watch 1st gen someday but not anytime soon. Just to see how things started out. DB, idk... just kinda seems like a filler to see how Goku grew before DBZ kinda to me now. So I don't really have interest so I skipped it this time around and I'm going DBZ > GT > Super (if dub available by the time I finish). |

| Inuyasha brought me into anime. I never saw the beginning nor the end, I started somewhere in the middle and ended somewhere near the end of the middle. Looking back I don't remember too much except for me staying up late to watch it on Toonami so I can't really form an opinion on it. However, a different Rumiko show has made it into my favorites named Maison Ikkoku. Perhaps the look of Inuyasha brought me into liking cel animation more than digital. I remember hating when it showed Inuyasha with updated cel animation. |
| This isn't literally my first anime (that would have been the first pokemon series when i was around 6/7 - but I won't count that because I didn't even know where was such a thing as "anime" back then, I thought it was just like any other cartoon), but [trigger warning] Attack on Titan was my gateway anime for the wider array of anime as a whole. I thought it was pretty good, and even now I think AoT is indeed overrated, but it's alright for a binge watch, so my thoughts on it haven't really changed. It was later when I watched Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell that really made me stay into anime. |

| That'd be Higurashi and it's still easily one of my favorites. |
 |
| yes, definitely, dora'emon, akazukin cha cha, ninja robot & dragonballz are my 1st anime for decades but I Still like them up til now. |

| Well you know what they say, you never forget your first time. My first anime was FLCL and it's still one of my absolute favorites. |

| Haganai. I'd say I'm still a fan but it was never my favourite anime. |
 |
| my first anime was death note i still think the majority of anime are just mediocre compared to it |
 |
| Nope, it went in the thrash section of my list. (Elfen Lied) |
 |
| I technically watched Pokémon and Yu-gi-oh as a kid, but didn't know it was anime because of all the 4kids censorship. I see my true first as Cowboy Bebop, so I had a good start and enjoy it still. |
| Not really, no. Haruhi got me into anime and I loved it a lot at the time. Now, I'm indifferent to it. I didn't care about the movies that came out. |

| No and yes. No : technically the first anime I saw but just a little was Maya the Bee, and that was before the term anime was even coined in western languages. The only thing I remembered were the main characters, and a feeling that it probably is not really bad or so. Recently I watched an episode on youtube, and yeah, it was quite OK, not boring - but it never was anything special to me to begin with. Yes : The first anime I watched that was announced as anime was Cowboy Bebop (in the German MTV dub), in a special midnight anime presentation on TV, maybe 10-12 years ago. I still hold it highly, and probably always will. |
