No, but it makes most of us feel old. I was watching anime before you where even born which makes me feel very old. |
| I started watching Anime since a kid... I guess Digimon and Naruto were the ones that made me like Anime. |
 |
| Not sure which one is my first Pokemon, Doraemon or Digimon. I started watch more anime after Death Note. |
| Inukami......right after the original FMA. If it was the other way around I might have never continued watching even though I actually like Inukami. |
| Oh man, 10/10 for original post, much creativity! No but seriously, this has been asked so many times, just doing a forum search and you'll know why. Also, it sets me curious, why do you care what anime we first started watching lol. It is not like you're gonna do a statistics chart for presentation or something. Hm...probably Digimon or Pokemon, if you consider those to be more of an anime than a cartoon. Else it would either be Death Note or Naruto. |

| Dragonball Z was the first I watched but then I didn't know what anime was, years after I watched Death Note and Bleach and I started looking for other series to watch |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Pokemon and toy franchise anime like Bakugan, Yu-Gi-Oh GX (which is best yugioh imho) and Beyblade were what I watched all the time, and Anime-influenced american animation like Ben Ten was the real sh*t. Also Studio Ghibli movies. But what got me in to anime-watching online was Attack on Titan. I binge-watched it and finished it in 3 days :P |
| I wanna say dragon ball z was my gateway into the world of anime. So much anime in the last 20 years I've watched since then. |
| Technically Pokémon, but I don't count that as I knew nothing about anime back then. One Punch Man was the one that got me into anime. |

| High School DxD :> To me it was pure masterpiece. |
| ok :p |
| Baccano. Probably not the most common way to get into anime. It's not the first thing I watched, I've been watching Naruto for ages, but never really cared for the medium as a whole. A friend of mine, an old weeb, recommended Baccano to me, I gave it a try and thought maybe there's more to this medium than I thought. And here I am, two years later, having watched few hundered series. >.> |
 |
| Kill la Kill. Before that I only had little contact with anime, only watching few episodes of popular series on the TV. But I saw lots of people in gaming forums talking about Kill la Kill, so I gave it a try watching it online, after that I started wathing animes online here and there. |
 |
| First watched Spirited Away when I was 3 or 4. But what got me really into anime a year ago was from a friend who kept recommending anime for me to watch. Such as, Angel Beats Steins;Gate Zetsuen no Tempest Guilty Crown Toradora Death Note Rainbow And probably a few more that I forgot. After that, I basically got into anime. |

| As a kid it was Pokemon. But as an adult it was probably Death Note. I had never seen an animated show that dealt with such serious topics before that one. |
| The first i ever watched and liked was Candy Candy (according to my parents though, as i do only remember some images... i think). The ones i do really remember were Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, and Sailoor Moon but i didn't know they were anime at the time. The ones who introduced me to anime in the whole sence were the Oh My goddess OVAs https://myanimelist.net/anime/49/Aa_Megami-sama |

| Naruto eventually made me curious (I started watching when I was roughly 10), but Death Note is what made me become a fan of anime. |
| I think Sailor Moon and St.Tail were the first ones that I watched but the one that got me into anime was Elfen Lied |
| Corpse Party, which was also the first anime I saw. I saw it had animation, so I watched it and thought it was interesting. I immediately wanted more and got progressively sucked in. |
| I know I'm the first to say this lol. :p But my friends were playing a Dragon Ball Z game at a sleepover and I just didn't know what the hell it was at the time, so I went home and watched it because I didn't want to be left out :c I didn't even know what anime was before that, got really into it though and then AFTER I watched up to the Namek arc I switched to DB 'cause I felt I didn't know the full story. Fast forward a few weeks an I was addicted to DB as a whole. Oddly enough I remember looking for books in the schools library and I found the full set of DBZ manga... Took a few of those home and would even go up to the library during lunch and just eat and read, and that's all she wrote. Back then I wasn't sure even how to read them, I was new to manga obviously and didn't know you had to read from right to left. I still think it's funny and awesome that our library had manga, wonder what other manga they had xD Edit: Trigun was my second anime but I'd still count it as my first because it was the first I seen that I knew was considered and anime, and not a cartoon like many in the US do. Edit 2: I actually have to say Pokemon was my first anime, but not the anime that got me into the genre. I thought (like many kids) it was a cartoon. |

| If we talk about the 1st anime that i've ever watched then it's Doraemon but if it's about the ones which make me a anime fan then it's FMA : B |
Reality is the lifeblood that makes a work pulse with energy. Reality itself is entertainment  |
| when i was a child there were many old anime dubbed to my native language on tv so i grew up liking anime.... when i got older the first anime i watched not on tv was death note. |
| Re:Zero made me an anime fan. I started listening to anime podcasts, watching reaction videos and anime youtubers basically because of it. I started to know more about the anime "culture". I will probably disappear when the show is done and come back when they announce season 2. Big impact on my life. |
| Down on the West Coast They got a sayin' |
| Ah, Gurren Lagann. What a great first experience of the anime world. I laughed, I cried, I was an anime fan ever since then. |
| The show that really got me into anime was FMA 2003. Because of this, FMA '03 will always have a very special place in my heart. |
| I haven't liked anime for as long as many other people, but my friend made me watch a few things back in like 2012/2013, but I didn't get into anime because of that But in 2015 I started watching Tokyo Ghoul and that was what got me into watching more anime and stuff |
 |
| When I was a kid I loved Yu-gi-Oh! but I wasn't aware it was anime so I guess that doesn't count. I watched naruto with a friend when I was like 8, but it was the only anime we watched so I guess that doesn't count as "getting into anime". The two anime that made me watch anime more were Death Note and Kuroko no Basket. I watched both of them one after the other cos my cousin told me to and I loved them. I loved Knb cos I love basketball and I loved Death Note because it blew my fuckin mind. |
| FIND SOME TIME TO DO SOME THINGS |
| I just kind of came into it. I started with Paranoia Agent, Cowboy Bebop and Trigun, but fell off the radar with that. It wasn't until watch NGE that I started watching anime much more. |
| Although I had watched some before, Death Note and Nana were the ones which got me into anime. |
 |
| I watched some on TV back when I was a kid, like Pokemon, Cardcaptor Sakura and DBZ, but the ones that really made me get into anime were FMA 2003 and Death Note |
 |
| I used to Play a lot of World of Tanks and spend a lot of time on the (WoT) forums. I stumbled across a thread called "Sensha-Do, the GuP thread". I had a read and discovered the anime Girls und Panzer. I binge watched the entire series and pretty much have been hooked since then *Girls und Panzer still my favourite, forever a place in my heart |
 |
| One Punch Man got me into Anime The craze mostly and seeing how funny the MC looked made me want to watch it. |
 |
| For me it was the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya! saw an amv for it and then I was hooked after episode 1 |
  |
| Watched naruto, pokemon and digimon savers when i was young but wasn't really into anime till i watch gakkougurashi last year. |
