| Naturally, you have such a strong connection between you and the first Anime you've ever watch and could stick around almost forever with you. My first Anime ever is Grendizer and I still love the HELL out of this show. And yes, it was made in the 70's and the animation/art-style is dated but still can't help the emotional connection that I have. There are things you really love that doesn't much sense because it has an emotional connection. The series is a mecha and there are plenty of better ones out there but still the battles in that show are so fun to watch and still feels as intense as the first time that I watch them. It's still a masterpiece for me. I still have the series as a 10/10 because of my everlasting love to this series. How about you? What do you think of the first Anime series/movie that you've watch and do you still have strong emotions to it? |

| I can't even tell which show was my first Anime. It's either Sonic X or Shaman King. I know for a fact I watched Sonic X first, however, I'm not too certain on how willing I am to consider Sonic X a fullblown Anime, but, then again, that could very well be my embarrassment talking... Sonic X kickstarted my interest in the artstyle; which, at the time, I didn't know was regarded as "Anime". Shortly after that I started Shaman King (with the horrendous dub) whilst also knowing this time that it was an "Anime", and I loved the absolute hell out of it at the time. It made me realise that there was such a thing out there (Anime) that was exactly what I seek in my entertainment: Stylish, Adventure-filled, intriguing, Emphasis on character-design. I loved it. And I am definitely thankful to that series for giving me a tour of what Anime was all about. So yes, I have a strong emotional attachment to it. tl;dr boring story is boring. |
| My first was the original sailor moon and I never loved it and still don't. I was 11 and anime was barely accessible in the US so it was a cool novelty that also had cute fun girls so it was easy to get into as a kid and enjoy. It is a good show and historically important to the medium, but it's not a favorite or anything I think about ever. I never had strong emotional ties to it beyond nostalgia due to how young I was and it being my first dip into what became my life. But the show itself never meant much to me at all. |
 |
| Nope, Noragami is not worth praising. I respect it, it was my first anime, but i have no connection with it.  |
 |
| My first anime is DB (not DBZ), I liked it but now, only some arcs were enjoyable for me. I still follow DBS but I don't feel anything special about it. Now I'm just finishing rewatching escaflowne, it's as great as I remember, I enjoy a show for what it is not for how I felt the first time. |
 |
| My first anime was Sao and let me just say now I DO NOT want to go back to those times |
| I see dead people |
| Yup, I got into anime with Death Note. When I watched it at the time, I was blown away, the story, characters, pacing, visuals everything was so amazing. 3-4 years later after watching a lot more anime, I revisited death note and I can safely say it still holds up very well. I know stuff goes to shit after episode 25 but it's not that bad honestly. It's natural that you would hold your first anime dear to yourself. |
  Why do you hate cats? β« |
| I don't know which exactly anime was my first. There were many that I saw as a kid such as: DBZ , Yu-Gi-Oh!, Beyblade, Bakugan, Maya the Bee, and some Ghibli movies. I remeber enjoying them, but I don't have any connection with them now. Except some OPs from those shows. |
| My first actual anime was Deathnote. And to this day, it's still one of my top 3 anime of all time. However, I did watch Beyblade, Pokemon and DBZ before that without knowing that it was an "anime" and didn't know what an "anime" was so I didn't count them |
| It depends kind of what is considered as my first anime, because of course before I knew what anime was I watched shows like Pokemon, Ginga nagareboshi Gin, Moomins etc. which are all shows I loved back then and still do, but my first anime when I knew what anime was was Fairy tail and it is probably still my favorite anime ever. My friend recommended watching anime through Fairy tail and I binged it in a week. |
 |
| My first was One Piece but I don’t put it over others because it was my first, I put it over others because of how good it is. |
 |
| The first anime that I recognize as anime was Cardcaptor Sakura, and yes I still love this anime more than many newer anime I watched. |
  |
| Before even seeing this thread, I actually just discovered today (legitimately within an hour of this post) that the first anime (at least MAL definition) that I watched was Old Master Q https://myanimelist.net/anime/30095/Qi_Cai_Lao_Fu_Zi Never bothered to actually look this up during my entire tenure until today when I was on a walk and talking about this show with family and then got curious. It definitely holds close to my heart. Had some good times rewatching this over and over again as a kid. Might actually do a rewatch in the near future. |

| Petite Princess Yucie is incredibly near and dear to me. Shame not many other people seem to think the same. It's the best thing to ever come out of Gainax if you ask me |

| Not quite. The anime which is closest to my heart, Lain, is in fact the first TV anime I watched in its entirety with subtitles. Angel's Egg, whose imagery drew me towards the medium but I didn't get to watch properly until much later, and my first OVA series, Gunbuster, are also very special to me. But my first few actual anime which i watched were all films, which while good, I do tend to mostly forget about nowadays. |
| I might if I only I knew the first anime I've seen. |
| I guess. My first anime was One Piece and I Still like it. Well, the show itself is good. |

| Excluding the usual stuff like Pokemon, before I knew what anime really was - Tokyo Ghoul was the first anime I watched. It's certainly dear to my heart and I can never hate it despite also being a manga reader, just because I watched it with my friends during one of the best parts of my life and that was when I was back in school and met my bf. We also started talking more/about anime after he saw me watching Tokyo Ghoul in school c: |
 |
| Yeah, I still really like Bleach nowadays despite all its flaws It's not even in my favourites though, it's just pure nostalgia here |
| The first anime I watched consciously knowing it was anime was JoJo, so I don't know if I have strong emotional connections to the show. I just look back at the shenanigans and laugh |
it's over | we're so back | don't take this too seriously |
| Koe no katachi was my first anime ever and I still love it even after rewatching it 4-5 times. |
 |
| Not my first anime ever but Angel Beats was one of the first really good shows I saw back when I became consciously aware that I'm watching anime. That one will always hold a special place in my heart and is still one of my favorites. |
 |
| before turning into a weeb, I watched the classic Yu-Gi-Oh! in high school after watching some episodes in childhood, and I prefer not to watch again now 5 years later because it is not that good and I carry a great nostalgia feeling everytime I remember it however my first anime into becoming a weeb was SAO, and I kinda dont care about it |
