What was the first fansub you ever downloaded?

[Sweyn1]

If I recall correctly, my first fansubbed anime was Mirai Shonan Konan (Future Boy Conan), It was sometime in 2005 and I just randomly picked an anime to download It was good but I dont think I ever fininished it

The first fansub I saw was Bible Black, was my first hentai too lol
Got it on a burned cd from a friend

For the downloaded stuff, it's Gundam 00
Before I learned how to torrent, I simply watch on streaming sites
Then an episode failed me, so I tried downloading
BAM! I was blown away by hd goodness
Never again have I tried watching anime from youtube

Either Cowboy Bebop or NGE.  Bebop would have been off of Kazaa or whatever file sharing system was vogue around December of 2003 or 2004. NGE I got off of my room mate who said "I had to watch this" since he was watching FLCL and/or Fruits Basket and I showed a vague interest at the time due to being tired from finals.

I can't recall which I actually watched first, I do remember NGE being two eps per file which kept me watching at 3am when I had a final at 10am saying "I can do one more ep tonight and still be fine."  Haven't watched it again since, but it was good enough that I'm still here even if I did take a few years off from anime post graduation.

I remember the first fansub i ever watched was Rozen Maiden (streamed) How's that for the influence of internet memes!

The first fansub i downloaded was Fate/Stay Night (i was marathoning it and i had reached Megavideo's stream limit at the time so i said screw this and found a DDL site)

I'm pretty sure my first torrent was Kara No Kyoukai, recommended by one of my WoW guild members at the time. Oh what a wonder it was to discover torrents(and Kara no Kyoukai!)! Second only to my discovery of BoxTorrents.

I watched dubbed anime on the 1980s but the first subbed was a really bad VCD of Mononoke Hime sometime around 1999. The colors where so bleached it could almost pass for monochrome...
Not 100% sure if it was a fansub or if it where ripped "official" subtitles.

l have to say this topic brought back some fond memories l have from back of those days, l'll try to list it in the order of apparence

First Anime ever seen : a random episode of Yattaman
First Anime watched fully : Sailor Moon (entire series)
First Anime followed : Chobits, Soul Hunter, Saint Seiya
First Anime not finished : hard to explain but this topic reminded me that there is an anime l did not drop but didn't finish watching, a sad thing to me, l will try to describe it in the apropriate section tough, maybe my memory will find it's peace when l finish it then, if someone helps me get the title that is. wich will be here : >>><<<

Mine would be the second half of Shakugan no Shana 2 from [SS-Eclipse]

[Aneroph]

[Anime-Keep], [BP-MKV], and [DB] were the first three groups of fansubs I ever got. All of them were for Bleach. I managed to get all of them through direct download at the time. Then I got [Shinsen-subs] for Darker than Black as my first official 'torrent' fansub.

[pyro-manic]

I think it was the first half of Gundam Seed: Destiny, while the series was still airing. Can't remember the group, unfortunately. I remember seeing the "karaoke" subtitles for the intro and thinking "what the hell?" - I wasn't expecting that at all.

[Augurian]

My first download was probably Ah My Goddess (the ova), using IRC, while on a dail-up connection... Usenet was usefull too, but it all took hours back then.

[Micharus]

"Strike Witches".....

Been a while since I even thought about that series. Magical girls 'wearing' flight gear on the legs and carrying massive weapons.

Thinking about makes me want to watch it again. Even the constant pantsu is ok, as it's not something that is focused on.

First anime ever seen : either pokemon or cardcaptor sakura. cant remember which was first. stil love
First fansubbed anime n fansub downloaded : fullmetal alchemist brotherhood

before that i mostly watched tv or animax but the choices were limited and after animax started airing FMAB thats when i really got into anime and learnt how 2 torrent and found bakabt!

and yes. i am quite young. 15 this year. saem as pyro-manic. i saw the karaoke subs for the opening n was thinking wow! totally did not expect that.

[agbaba]

when i first saw kareoke effect i thought it was something the anime producers not fansubbers do lol.

[TidusBlade]

I remember downloading the original Fullmetal Alchemist years ago, probably back in 2006 or something off random torrents on Mininova. I'm pretty sure it was subbed but with dual audio so I watched it dubbed actually. In that case, first watched fansub was probably Eden of the East from last year, just had to grab it after my friend kept talking about how it's so awesome. By the end of it I thought it was just above average though xD

[the trooper]

The first anime i downloaded was Evangelion in 2005, but i think it was a dvd-rip.

So the first fansub was probably Naruto from [DB], and the first complete series was [SS-Eclipse] Clannad.

[HazukiChan]

Hellsing was the first series I ever downloaded.
