First anime you ever saw?? Be honest now!!
LadyeWolfe:
My first anime was Speed Racer. I think I was about 5 or 6. And it was followed by Transformers and Robotech. It wasn't until I was 8 did I get to watch Akira. My mother nearly bricked when she watched it with me. She didn't know what to think of it. She had never seen a "cartoon" be so bloody or violent before.
I really got into anime after that, but living where I live it was hard to even get the normal dubbed versions of anime that played on the weekends. It wasn't until '93-'94 when Sci-Fi started to play anime on Saturday mornings that I was able to get ahold of some really good anime titles. Like Battle Angel, GITS, Bubblegum Crisis, Appleseed (1987), Dominion Tank Police, Gall Force, and so on. I think they even played Bastard! before it was pulled from the air.
Makes me wish that Anime Launch hadn't been pulled from one of the cable carriers around here. They would show most of the kiddy stuff between 6am-4pm and then start up with the teen stuff. It was from 10pm-5am that all the really bloody, sex filled and gruesome anime would be played. It also would sub them and let the regular dialog play. It was amazing. To bad it got pulled after a few months. :'(

Excluding Pokemon, Digimon and DBZ (omg it rules). The first one I watched was the entire series of "Ah! My Goddess" Closely followed by "Galaxy Angel". Wow. What combo.
ZenOfBelan:
Urusei yatsura, waaaaaaay back in the day. Way.
Does Voltron count? I watched both of those when I was living in the Philippines in the early-mid 80s.
EndlessEcho:
Ninja Scroll (subbed) was my first true manga. I don't consider the shows that were on t.v. in my answer. I still love watch'n Ninja Scroll even though I've watch'd it 100's of times. Back when I was too young to afford cable, the good ol vcr was all i had. ;D
SwiftHunter:
The first anime i ever watched was Fooly Cooly, followed by Speed Racer and then Big O. This was before i knew what anime was. Now i'm a total anime freak
