I'm pretty sure my first anime is doraemon because it was aired on the television at 7AM on Sunday when I was a kid XD


I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD

Before I even knew what anime was, I'd often watch Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C when I was a kid. Adult Swim was the channel

Came home after school, turned on YTV, and saw that The Zone was on. Some show I'd never seen came on.

I don't exactly remember which anime I saw first, but it was one of: the older version of Hunter x Hunter, Slam Dunk or Yu Yu Hakusho. Those anime were shown on TV in the Philippines where I grew up.

I watched my first anime on TV which was Pokemon with a memorable Spanish dub ,HA.

But, my first anime knowing it was actually anime was Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu. Most of the time I watched it half a sleep on the floor while my butt was hurting using my Ipod on Youtube. Yep, the good old days.

Before I knew what anime was actually, I'd watch all those shows on Cartoon Network/Toonami. After I grew up more and realized what anime actually was, I think my first anime that I called anime was Air Gear on a site called animehere.

On TV. Back then the animes were like HxH (1999), Doraemon, Crayon Shinchan, Bleach, Digimon, Pokemon, DBZ, etc. But hey, most of them are still there now lol.

My first anime was Sailor Moon. I watched it on the internet alongside my older sister some years back when I was 4 or 5. Or rather, my older sister was watching it and I just happened to be sitting beside her.

The first anime I watched that wasn't on Adult Swim was probably Clannad back in December 2010. This was before I started using list websites, so I don't remember exactly which one was first. I do know that Clannad was one of the first five I watched (once again, outside of Adult Swim shows). I watched it on some random streaming website.

First anime I watched was Speed Racer... on a VHS that my dad bought.
I didn't realize it was anime at the time, though, and just thought of it as another cartoon.
The same goes for Pokemon, which was the first one I watched on TV.

Watching Pokemon on Kids WB led me to end up seeing a random episode of DBZ (which initially aired in syndication on there before being moved to Toonami, where it ended up being much more popular).
I remember the exact episode I saw. Krillin and Gohan were peeking over a ledge on Namek, watching Freiza and his gang threatening a group of Namekians. As a 9-year-old kid in 1997, I had seen shows like Transformers and Thundercats before this, and I had seen a little bit of violence in stuff like Power Rangers and whatnot (not to mention somewhat violent games like Doom on the PC)... but I felt like this scene was so much more brutal, and the enemies were so much more ruthless and intimidating. I had never seen anything like it before. I was hooked.

However, despite this... I didn't actually start following the show until it started to be broadcast again on Toonami a few years later. It was then that I began to learn that this was a show from Japan... I'm not sure how I discovered this, but it led me to try and find more of this kind of stuff on American TV.

I eventually stumbled across Princess Mononoke, which was airing on Starz. This was the first anime that I watched realizing it was anime, and boy... what a great first exposure to the medium.

From there I would go on to watch many more anime on Starz, Sci-fi, Encore Action, and of course... Toonami.
Sometime around 2001, I discovered the existence of anime I could download on the internet. I think my friend introduced me to it... and I remember him linking me to a fansub website for Naruto over AOL Instant Messenger. Naruto would end up becoming the first anime I downloaded off the internet.

The rest is history.
