What was your first anime?

[CaptBrenden]

Still TV anime, vs what you get online/dvd is fail. tho it still surprizes me the aired FMA in the US, that show is pretty messed up.

"wino n" is "win on" with the space in the wroung spot T_T

Yea, I actually like the japanese version of haruhi, its got more humour to it...

Too bad its only 15 episodes, but I like watching em in different orders, liek a "choose your own story" sorta thing.

Personaly I like the english version better.  Im a westerner, western humor i understand better. if a sub titler has to explain a joke in notes above the screen then Im okay without it.  Plus, I think they cast the characters pretty good, none of the usual annoying claw my ears off voices.

My first was Captain Tsubasa...

Sailor Moon was my first anime, although, I don't know if it was really Sailor Moon, since it aired before (or after) DragonBall Z.

Totoro was my first anime, followed by Sailor Moon and later Robotech.
At least I think those are the first ones, I've seen so many that I can't remember. ;138

My first was probably Akira, the very first time it aired on Sci-Fi channel, many many moons ago.  According to Wikipedia (which we all know is the end-all, be-all bastion of accurate knowledge), the original anime programming on Sci-Fi started in the 1990s.  So I'm thinking 1994, 'cos that year sticks out the most to me.  As far as actual serial anime goes, Sailor Moon was probably my first, with DBZ being a a very close second.  Of course, I didn't get a steady diet of anime from that date onward, in fact, I didn't get a chance to start watching anime on a regular basis until a few years back.

It's kind of embarrassing to admit to this, but the main reason I remember Akira as my first is because it just scared the hell outta me when I first saw it (yeah, my wild animation led to easy frights).  Funny watching it now and thinking "I was 8 freakin' years old!  How the hell did I find this scary?!" -__-'

O....M....G..
That's the exact same as MINE!!
My first anime was Totoro, Followed by Sailor Moon, and DragonBallZ.

HUmm if you count the old shows like that robotech probobly was my first, or thundercats but i didnt really watch it much (i think it sucked personaly...)   However like I stated before, my first REAL anime was Iria: the Zerim animation   on sci fi channels saturday morning anime.. or it may have been their anime week where they played anime movies every day.  i think they have stopped that...

So i guess i had my anime cherry popped twice. Once by the saturday morning cartoons type, and one by the serious buisness anime.

[NekOSaka]

Shows like Pokemon and DBZ were the first ones that I saw, Tenchi got me hooked though.

[U-Know]

Probably DBZ or Evangelion. This was way back and I was little and skimmed through the channels. All I remember was a little bit of DBZ and a few hazy scenes of Eva.
