Escaflowne. I watched it as a kid, but I don't remember it too well. I only remember watching it.

The foirst aniem I remember was the episode of pokemon where ash finds a snorlax blocking the river.

Then the first animes I bought was the first DVD for the series Dual, and the original Vampire Hunter D.

Post by: Ska_Kitti on December 07, 2004, 06:43:03 PM
^_^ Sailor Moon. I'm still a big fan today. However since I was it on UPN, it doesn't count bc they edit out alot. Aside from that show, my first Tenchi I think. It's been so long that I don't remember.

The first anime I bought was Ninja Scroll. ^_^
Title: evangelion
Post by: sosuke1 on December 13, 2004, 04:29:07 PM
well, the first anime I watched was DBZ, but that was just whenever I caught it on tv,  the first anime I sat through and watched all of was Neon Genesis Evangelion.  Strange stuff for a first timer, but good!

My first ever anime was either sailor moon, or sonic the hedgehog (the original series they aired, and the comic)
...I"m not sure which cause I was very young, but yeah, its one of those!
Title: Your very first anime
Post by: Croquet on January 04, 2005, 10:17:05 PM
I guess it would've been Sailor Moon, cause I watched that sometimes when I was a kid. But I count DragonBall Z and Tenchi as my real firsts because thats when I was actually getting into it.

Yeah, I know, DBZ was alright, but GT is just plain WACK! I mean goku is a little kid running around with his grand daughter who's the same age as him?! It's too crazy for me!!! And Trunks in that outfit? Blah! And and and!!! Well, I could go on forever, but I won't....

When I learned about anime:
Ninja Scroll, Record of Lodoss War, Tenchi Muyo, Dragonball Z
Title: Your very first anime

ohhh Yeah, I forgot about Speedracer, I use to watch that too back in the days
Title: Your very first anime
Post by: joshness on January 20, 2005, 09:22:00 AM
Yeah, speedracer rocks! The funny thing is now that I am reminded about old school anime.  My mom liked anime before she knew it was anime too.   She was a huge fan of Astro Boy when she was a kid.  She doesn't really watch anime but she says she really respects it and that she loves the Miyazaki movies.

My first Anime I watched was a cheap-ass poorly dubbed musical type-thing called Serendipity that's when I was a weee little 'taku. It wasn't until I was 13 when I started watching Tenchi Muyo! and Urusei Yatsura on PBS. After my interest became piqued a friend of mine helped me start an Anime club in middle school... The rest, is history.

Title: Your very first anime
Post by: zoupzuop2 on April 26, 2006, 10:34:00 PM
I didn't realize it until tonight, but my first anime was Unico or something to that effect. Story of a unicorn who could detatch his horn. KA-REEPY. I remember liking it when I was VERY little, in fact it was great when I was about 4.

Then came Pokémon. I was sorta curious as to what it was, and being a 1337 '73nd0 fan, I checked it out. And I was enveloped in it.

After that, I read a magazine that ran through a list of random Animes. I thought I knew what they were talking about, I'd found out what Anime was by researching Pokémon on the inter-web-basket-net, so I was acquainted with Dragonball Z, Sailor Moon, Gundam series... the usual stuff.

They had an article on Ranma ½. I was disgusted.
I was also fascinated.

So, after my brother and I got into Gundam (he's since become popular and has no need for such... fool), I decided to not be ignorant, and researchi the series. This research lasted a good three years...

...and I remain a hardcore enthusiast to this day. I don't OWN much anime/manga, but I do enjoy it.

Recap:
Unico (Birth-1995)
Pokémon
(Magazine, R½)
Gundam Wing
Ranma ½

Post by: Saffy on April 27, 2006, 12:31:07 AM
first animation ever: Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke, VHS, dubbed (I was about 12, with no japanese experience) yeah late bloomer I was

first series: Pokemon, in english on WB20 (yeah around that same age, got into the game craze, naturally I couldnt help but watch the show, too)

first animation, not dubbed: Escaflowne (not the series) I was in highschool already, freshman year, anime club! oh yeah

never got into dragon ball Z, gundam wing, sailor moon (for some reason I hated the theme song, can't imagine why), stuff that was really hot at the time I was in jr. high, but I occasionally caught them on Toonami's Rising Sun program (a la Cartoon Network)

(ugh took me three months to download all of love hina on kazaa over 56kbps, this was back before bittorrent and when dsl was new)

Post by: gmontem on April 27, 2006, 10:59:51 AM
In the States it was probably the English cut of either "Speed Racer" or "Star Blazers".  My parents and older brother used to tell me I watched "Voltes V" back when we used to live in the Philippines but that was when I was at most 4 years old.  I don't remember much of what happened back then.  I have a pic of me wearing a "Voltes V" t-shirt doing some sort of pose, so I guess that bit was true.

Flight of Dragons rocks! I loved that one.

Anyways, my first was probably sailor moon. Caught it on channel 44 every once in a a while. Then I switched over to Toonami and watched DBZ and Gundam wing and others. Went back and watched some other classics like Kimba and speed racer, then I was able to afford my own, so I started my collection. ^_^

Sailor Moon. Maybe when I was 4 and it was on at 4:00 on Cartoon Network's Toonami...oh the good old times...

Then Pokemon when I was in Kindergarden and my future best friend whispered to me "Do you know Pokemon?" and she lent me some videos. *w*

I think I watched Kiki's Delivery Service when I was around...10, when it premiered on the Disney Channel.

It was Robotech: The Macross Saga. I remember the moment quite vividly. Quite frankly I had no clue what I was watching, but it was the very emotional episode where they were trapped in the SDF-1 at the start of the series. And I had never seen something like that, so it had me hooked.

I'd say dragon ball and sailor moon wouldn't count, but pokemon and thundercats were my first, and then I moved on to all the gundam series, and got hooked on those for a few years, then there were less popular ones, and then cowboy bebop, and then just random anime movies that I probably should have watched the series to watch but were still awsome, like Mapleseed, and the like.

I'd say Pokemon stuck with me the most though ^_^
