DBZ and no. I honestly can't watch more than the Cell Games ark, Cooler's Revenge, Tree of Might, and the Freiza ark only just before Goku goes SS.

Gundam Wing, my #2, will always by one of my favorites though.

That is a definite no. My first anime was Inuyasha and while I do remember loving it, it has since fallen far, far down my favorite list.

Looking back, Naruto was pretty cool. At least the 150 first episodes.

Not one of my favorites, though

My first anime was either Sailor Moon or Pokemon, I can't remember which one I watched first. Anyways, I still love Sailor Moon even to this day. I've watched the entire series in Jap, and plan on watching some episodes to check out the VIZ dub. Pokemon, on the other hand, I stopped watching it after Advanvced, since it was just the same repetitive shit over and over again with just new pokemon. Has Ash even won the Pokemon League yet? Jeez, talk about milking.

One of my First Animes besides the Childhood ones Like Pokemon, Sailormoon etc. was Samurai Champloo
And it's not one of my Favorite - it's rather my All Time Favorite! And i Guess this won't Change

Other Animes like One Piece and Elfenlied are also TOP Scorer, but I've seen better by now.
Can't watch Dragonball or Pokemon anymore tho..

In saying that then Sword Art Online, which was what actually started me in liking to pursue anime would be one of my favorites... and that goes without saying that it indeed is not one of my favorites.

Outside of like the "starter" anime kids watch like Digimon, Pokemon, YuGiOh, DB/DBZ, etc, I think my first anime was .hack//Legend of the Twilight. I was like 10 or something when I first saw it after waking up randomly at 1AM and I really liked it. I never saw the original .hack series tho, just this one.

Looking back at it, I think it was a decent anime--nothing too special. Kinda like a watered down Sword Art Online. I'd watch it again for nostalgia's sake. I think I liked the manga more than the anime, though. The anime had weird, WEIRD implications of incest ...

Yup even tho I think the filler really ruin Naruto especially Shippuden,
I feel that its peaks are just as high as any of the other top tier anime I've watched.
Whenever I watch it I still get those feeling and entertainment that make other series pale in comparison.

Until that changes it'll always be one of my favorites.

Cowboy bebob is still my number one favourite anime also considering it quality wise the best anime. Re-watched it 3 times by now and my opinion doesn't change. Even tho i value a lot of anime and consider me a fan of many. I wonder if my standards are also higher because of that, i watched a lot of high rated shows in my beginning anime career back then.

First of all, Neon Genesis Evangelion was never been my favorite. I still like it, but it's nowhere to be my favorite. I'm not counting series like Pokémon, Dragon Ball or Beyblade - when I watched it in TV I didn't even know that it was anime- and even more in this case - I never considered those series as my favorite. I didn't even like a Dragon Ball in back days, now I think that it was (and actually is) a piece of crap.

I think my first anime was Naruto back when it first started airing here in the U.S and while i still hold a lot of love for it because of childhood nostalgia, i don't think i can say its one of my favorites, i can still enjoy it though.

If it's my first anime as a grown-up (after years of not watching); then yes: Monster.
Otherwise I can't really tell which was my first one.

The first-first anime I've watched was probably Dragon Ball Z, in the early 2000s but I didn't even know back then what anime was and I only watched 1-2 episodes.
Anyway, what really got me into anime was Naruto. Although I dropped it during the 4th Bullshit Ninja War arc, I still consider it as one of my favourites. I just don't like it when it becomes obvious that they are juicing the anime to the extreme with hundreds of filler episodes in order to make money... but I do like the anime itself; I've even read Naruto fanfics at some point

My first anime was Sailor Moon, but I was a kid (like 6 y/o and therefore didn't even know what anime was) when I started watching it. I used to love it, but now? Not so much, lol. I'm really not into mahou shoujo anime anymore.

Fastforward 7 years and I discovered what I really consider to be my first anime, which was Inuyasha. I was so goddamn obsessed with it for years, you have no idea. It's not one of my favorites any longer, though (it's been 12 years since I discovered it). I mean, it'll always be super fond of it, but were I to have discovered the series now as opposed to when I was a kid, I definitely wouldn't have enjoyed it so much. Or at all, really.

Nope. The first anime I watched from start to end is SAO and it's my third least favourite anime I have watched so far. It was enjoyable but after seeing a lot more anime I saw more of its flaws.

My first anime was Death Note, which is definitely not one of my favorites, but is still ranked highly on my list. My favorite is Steins;Gate which was my 5th or 6th show.

Yes, it is. The first anime I watched was Death Note, and it means a lot to me, both for the nostalgic sentiments and the fact that it caters to my likings.
I will never forget the entire year I spent reading fanfictions for it... I didn't do it for no reason.

Yes, kinda.

It was definitely DBZ when I was like 4. I still appreciate it. I still enjoy it's animation, but damn do I see all those plotholes now. Looking past the nostalgia I think it was a good entry way and sitll watch DB Super every week. Not to mention wait for DBZ:A with bated breath.

But it's not quite the be all end all it was for me back then as a kid.

Of course. The original Saint Seiya probably will be part of my favorites forever.

And I don't think it has to do with nostalgia bs since I watched many anime in my childhood and many of them while I found them good or fine I honestly can't care less.
