It was Dragon Ball from a vhs tape my father brought home with him from Japan when he arrived back from his work when i was 5...it just escalated from there over the years :) Trevor (OP) ![]() |
Sailor moon, dragon ball and pokemon were all at the same time here so those 3 were the first....but if you count the ones from the moment that I knew about anime (what it is etc.), then it was Chobits ^_^ ![]() |
Only recently started watching. Death note :| ![]() Do you know of ‘The Magnificent Steiner’ ? The main character was normally a weak, sickly man. When he was in an emergency, someone would come and help him. A secret friend. But, the main character never realised...... that his secret friend....Was himself. Grimmer = Legend |
It would either be Dragon Ball Z or Pokemon. I watched both of them before I actually knew what anime was. Then my first anime when I knew what anime was would either be Cowboy Bebop or Inuyasha. ![]() |
See, I was young and living outside the US. They show weekly broadcast children show, which most of them are imports from Japan - anime. I certainly can't recall which show that I watched first. Some of the earlier titles I could remember now are along the lines of Doraemon, Detective Conan, Sailor Moon, Fushigi Yuugi, Trigun, Juubei-chan, Ninku, Ninja Hattori, Crayon Shin-chan, Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Chibi Maruko-chan. Or even older that I can't remember now. Then when Pokemon and Digimon came, I became more passionate with anime. ![]() |

Awww... my first anime... i can't remember all the episodes that well, but the name is still in my head. I have no added it to my anime list, mostly because well... it was not that good, and im not adding anything that i have not seen before 2006. Speed racer. I was about 5-6 years old when i was watching it on the TV from some unknown network that we got with our antenna. Although it was very very cheap anime... only mouths moving/little animation... it was still my first, and i would wait till 3am every Saturday just to watch it lol. thinking back... i should have watched something else!! LOL ![]() |
My first ever anime was Pokemon, Season I, back in 1998 and I watched itall the way up to maybe 2002ish until it got retarded... ![]() |
Mine was Tosho Daimos or Yattaman, i can't remember which one of them it was. They aired on Polish television, when i was 5 or 6. ![]() |
My first anime was Bragon Ball, many years before. Solid. ![]() ![]() "Is this not what you expected to see?" |
when i actually new what anime was it would be AKIRA, before then toss up between Gatchaman or Robotech. ![]() ![]() anime owned collection list http://tobruk.dvdaf.com/ " You guys want to see me do a magic trick. I will make this pencil disapear." - the Joker |
Hmm, I guess technically it would be a toss up between Captain Harlock or Battle of the Planets, followed soon after by Macron 1, Tranzor Z, Voltron, and Robotech (and then all those animated versions of fairy tales they used to show on Nickelodeon). But while I did realize those were made in Japan, I didn't know them as "Anime". The first thing I saw where I was conscious I was watching "Anime" (and the first thing I saw in the original Japanese, not English dub) was a double feature of Castle of Caglistro and Vampire Hunter D playing at a local theater in 1991. ![]() Like Shoujo?

for me it was Robotech back in like 1989 or 1990. I wasnt aware it was japanese though. Then it was sailor moon many years later. At this point I realised it was japanese and decided to do some research to see if I could find anything similar. so I took a A trip to a large video retail store and saw what was called Japanimation. This was around 1996 I would say. back then it was almost never called anime and It was very hard to find. But I got started renting and buying stuff back then. Mostly movies and what not finding anime T.V series was pretty hard still. ![]() |
Well, the very first anime that I ever saw was Sailor Moon. Used to watch it with my sister a looooong time ago. The first thing that I've ever watched knowing that it was anime was Hellsing. ![]() |
