The anime that got me started was probably Gundam Wing when I was in grade three, although I doubt it was my first, something that was a little more age appropriate at the time.

First anime I ever saw was DBZ, but I didn't know what anime was. The one that got me into anime (and is still my favorite) is Berserk.

Did I post here yet? 0_o Don't remember...

anyways,
DBZ, Miyazaki films and Digimon were among my first anime. Fullmetal Alchemist was what got me hooked on anime altogether.

The first anime that I ever watched was, of course, Sailor Moon and Dragonball Z, but I didn't know what anime was at the time. XD

The first anime that I ACTUALLY knew was anime was probably Rurouni Kenshin and InuYasha. :3

before i got into the original japanese stuff i watched the tv dubbed version of stuff like pokemon, digimon, escaflowne, dragon ball series and gundam wing back when i was around 9 and 10. I didn`t start my actual pursuit for original japanese animes until I turned 15 when I was introduced to Naruto and Bleach. Then when i turned 16 my interested expanded into all types of anime and i began reading manga as well

I watched things like Card Captor Sakura, Pokemon and Digimon without realising that it was Anime!

But then in 2004 I watched Princess Mononoke and spirited Away at school, and I've never stopped XD

^ Jeez, what an introduction to anime. (oO)

Kinda funny though, a lot of people's intro to anime involves a lot of violence. My first anime was either Akira or Ghost in the Shell. A lot of other people in my generation got their first fix with Ninja Scroll or Fist of the North Star.

Too much bloodshed!!! >_<

I definately dunno my first anime (I mean, I've watched anime all my live, possiblly even before I can remember). The first anime I really liked was Aoki Dentetsu Shoot! in 1992. Then, I've had on-off anime watching habits, but the one really re-kick-starting my love was Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

My first anime was Sailor Moon (probably Transformers...) but at the time I didn't know what anime was. It wasn't until I stayed up late one night when I was about 14 and watched an episode of Cowboy Bebop that I had to look up anime. I've been addicted ever since.

There wasn't really "one" that made me get into anime, I grew up on old, 80s anime(of course i didn't know they were anime back then) that were constantly aired in my country, then I came to the us, got a computer and discovered fansubs.
