Should be Candy Candy, possibly in early '90s. Though the first one I actually remember is Ninja Senshi Tobikage, aired few years later.

Clannad.

It was Dragon Ball in the 90's, god damn it was awesome, everybody was watching it n.n. Although the concept of "anime" wasn't clear to me at that age as everything was labeled as cartoons. I think the first show as I've started watching these "new wave" of anime was Yosuga No Sora which got me hooked immediately on this sort of things

Probably showing my age saying this but definitley Star Blazers back in the early 80s. I remember being blown away by this animation style and story I had never encountered in my cartoon viewing at that time. Needless to say I was hooked.

That would be Dragonball z gundam wing and pokemon/digimon/sailor moon

SunnyMonday · « **Reply #1345 on:** June 15, 2012, 04:40:19 PM »

That would be Kiss x Sis

Unless I count animes like, Pokemon, Digimon, Dragonball Z, Beyblade, Medabots which I've seen when I was little.

^ Digimon and DBZ, among others, especially count

Surprisingly the first anime I ever saw (in Japanese) isn't even over yet. Yep, Naruto is what got me hooked to anime. At first I just watched whatever played on TV (Gundam Wing, Pokemon, Dragon ball Z, Sailormoon, etc.) until someone at college told me watching anime in Japanese is a lot better... and oh boy was he right. He then introduced me to Naruto which back then only 20 episodes or so were out, I got hooked into right from the start and been watching it every week ever since.

More than half a decade later... watched approximately 700 anime series/movies/OVAs so far and counting:

Hmmm not entirely sure... but it should be Doraemon according to my vague memory.

I was forced to watch Sailor Moon and I watched it in Korean almost all the episodes then it was Dragonball Z in english but they kept on doing a endless loop of the movie tree of might after goku was fighting the ginyu force it was really annoying

Fist of the North Star - I was 14 back in 1998 and my brother (Who is an Anime fan from the late 80s) rented it from a local videoshop. Wasn't too impressed overall (Story sucks) but so. much. blood. Definately never seen anything like it.

A week or so later I gave Anime a second chance and went back to the Video shop and rented Vampire Hunter D - Now that hooked me for life

So, 14 years later still here and still watching Anime

yp05 · « **Reply #1352 on:** June 19, 2012, 01:45:38 AM »

Probably Pokemon, but I was a kid and had no idea what was going on. My sister liked Sailor Moon and Cardcaptors, so I'd take a gander at that from time to time.

It wasn't a bad way to get into Anime I suppose. Remember I was 14 at the time - It certainly made an impression. Plus with the more 'kiddies' anime on certain sky channels at the time, I think I got a reasonable Anime education early on for a Brit who didn't go to any Anime clubs and didn't have the internet at the time

aspectmatty · « **Reply #1355 on:** June 22, 2012, 09:18:20 PM »

It was DBZ and Pokemon for me i think. Digimon too, i have no idea which i saw first but it was probably DBZ.

The first Japanese anime i watched is Bleach, and the only one i watched up until this year

Neon Genesis Evangelion. I've been hopelessly addicted ever since.

Robotech. It was on an old VHS tape when I was a little kid (mingled with some old episodes of Battle Star Galactica which I didn't care for). I ate it up.

Granted, I considered it a cartoon and some adult friends of mine explained that it was Anime. So, I guess after I began to seek it out, E.Y.E.S. of Mars. Ran on Sci-fi channels anime block on Sunday mornings in the early 90's.
