| As a child, it was probably Pokemon. Early episodes too. |
| pokemon too but I did not know it was an anime when i watched it . the first real anime is samurai champloo i guess |
  |
| first time eh, i'm not sure about that but i think it's Pokemon |
 |
| Ronin Warriors, Sailor Moon, and DBZ all in the same block on Toonami back in the day and Pokemon came soon after. I loved anime before I knew what anime was. |
| First time was DBZ/Slam Dunk/ Yu Yu Hakusho. One of those 3. If I rememebr correctly, it was quite exciting. |
| I started with DBZ, Pokemon and Yu Yu Hakusho. |
Ntad said: The first anime I ever saw (before I knew what anime or Japan was) was Superbook. I was about...4 or 5, I guess? It...it's not like it's s-something I'm proud of...BAKA! During my ever so eventful youth in the early 90s, I was exposed to various forms of anime on TV networks, still not actually knowing what form of entertainment it was. Dragon Ball Z was circulating on FOX along with Sailor Moon somewhere between '91 and '93, but it was not until walking into a random video store in 1996 (and discovering the anime that would pull me into the world of Lina Inverse) that I finally understood what I had been missing out on. I also discovered manga in my public library around the same time. It's been a roller coaster ride ever since. Edit: My only regret is that there wasn't more available to me before I turned 10. It wasn't until the later 90's that my anime fanboyism really took off. |

| I don't remember, it happened when I was so young. |
This topic has not been locked and is still available for discussion. |
| Started with Dragon Ball, too. I was like 8-10, I'm not really sure but I really loved it & I still do, it was my first love after all. |
 |
| it was pokemon, even due i did not know it was anime |
 |
| My first time was a bit awkward, I was finished 2 minutes after taking it out. I don't remember if it was Pokemon or Dragon Ball, but either way I was too young to know what anime is. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| First anime I watched was Vampire Hunter D. But yeah I've always liked anime even when I didn't understand the plot for most of em. |
 |
| Still a virgin here. |
| Shoot first, think never. |

| I don't really remember first hand. First anime was My Neighbor Totoro on VHS. Parents got it for me as a baby and I grew up on it. Mom says I would watch it multiple times a day though lol. |
| Samurai X. It was gosh darn cool. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| No knowing it was anime- actually started with Card Captor Sakura before anything else. Knowing it was anime- good old Yu Yu Hakusho, saw it some years after Card Captor Sakura and by then i had seen Pokemon, Digimon, Part of DBZ, and some Sailor Moon (which i disliked). But Yu Yu was the first one to make me appreciate the medium and love it. The rest of the adult swim block had Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, and Outlaw Star too :) |
| First ever was Naruto when it aired in America. And then years later it would lead me into my anime obsession ; ; |
| My first anime was Alfred J. Kwak and it was amazing. A little clumsy at first, but I closed my eyes and we took it from there. He knew what he was doing and touched all the right spots. |

| Cardcaptor Sakura or Pokemon. I only figured out that I saw Cardcaptor Sakura when I recently watched it and it felt familiar (especially the episode with the tree growing in Sakura's house!) |
| my first time was with sailor moon 2 years ago ah it was great, i laughed and cried lots.. |
 |
| It hurt a little at first but then it felt amazing and it was over way to fast. |
| I'm feeling a little promiscuous in this thread. |
 |
| Sheesh, you could've worded that a little better OP. OT: My first anime would be Pokemon back when I was in 5th or 6th grade. My anime craze started when I was in 9th grade and it started with Code Geass and Darker Than Black. |
 |
| Back in 2004, my Japanese friends showed me a hentai scene. It practically scarred me for life. But yea.. after that I started finding out about normal anime too, and I enjoyed it. |

| Either Yu-gi-oh! or Pokemon. They were both very enjoyable at the time, but I believe I played the card game/played the video games first. I definitely liked them more than regular cartoons, and they probably led me into liking anime. The first anime I watched where I knew it was an anime was Naruto. It is still my favorite today despite its flaws. |
| Elfen Lied. I was so upset after I finished that I paced around my bedroom and cried. |
 |
| I was little and had no idea about what was going on. Think my cousin was watching Sailor Moon. |
 |
| Pokemon - i watched it because it was a show for kids First time I realized I was watching anime - Yu Yu Hakusho, Inuyasha, Slayers or Cowboy Bebop |
 |
| Pokemon when I was a kid, I liked the video games more When I first realized I was watching anime, it was High School DxD. What an intro xD |
   |
| I think dragonball took away my virginity. |
| I watched Pokemon on TV before I knew what anime really was, like the first few seasons and I absolutely loved it. I also watched Tokyo Mew Mew as a kid, and Spirited Away. Those were my first anime. When I went to look up the shows I watched back then, I found myself aware of anime for the first time and went on to watch Elfen Lied. It was stupid really, considering I was only 13, but it really changed my perspective of anime and I thoroughly enjoyed it, and have enjoyed watching it ever since. |
| The day before yesterday, I saw a rabbit. Yesterday, it was a deer. And today, It’s you. ~ Ichinose Kotomi |
| The first anime I actually watch watched was Bleach. Really liked it. |
| *Woosh* Sparklesparkle* |
| Which hole are we talking about? Wait....this is about anime? Oh fuck, nvm... |
| tom and jerry |
| Smiles and laughter are always good, but never forget your Poker Face.~ |
| If this was in casual discussion... |
| I still remember the day I watched the American premiere of Pokemon on TV. My little heart was touched. Those were the good days. |
| Dragon Ball. Shit was pretty awesome and exciting. I was always left impatient when they ended an episode in the middle of a battle as a kid. |
| I got a boner first time I watched anime, I think I was like 5 back then... |
I luv u |
| It was Digimon Digital Monsters. I thought it was pretty exciting. :P I couldn't wait to see a new episode air afterschool so I looked forward to it a lot. |
   |
| It was with an older man. |
 |
| I thought all the kids were doing it. (Pokemon, etc.) But oh man, how unlucky I was to be in the wrong environments... |
 |
| Hmmm Pokemon for me. Loved it, and started collecting Pokemon cards as well. =^-^= But I grew out of it. I didn't even know what Anime was back then honestly. -_- |
