What started it all.
It was Dragon Ball Z at first, but what set it in stone was both Gundam Wing and Outlaw Star.
Sailor Moon and Akira.
Sailor Moon was on USA in the morning when I was getting ready for school. My high school ceramics teacher forced us all to watch Akira one week instead of doing ceramics.

I tryed to get my art teacher to show Akria, but there was a freshman in the class with the rest being Seniors and since it was a graph film the treach had to turn it down, but she said that it would been okay if not for the fact that she could get in trouble.
my first anime ever was technically Space Battleship Yamato. Apparently it was my favorite TV show when I was 2, but I really don't remember anything. And I really don't know what channel played that anime 17 years ago...
But growing up, I was definitely a Tenchi, Pokemon, Sailor Moon, DBZ, etc follower. I'll admit it.
When I was a little kid, I was addicted to a super robot show called UFO Robo Grendizer. Kinda forgot about anime until Guyver. ^_^
I think it was Tenchi Muyo... man did I love it , especially as a lonely kid... Will always hold a place in my heart for it. Pokemon was another, was strictly just a kid thing but will always respect it because my loving father used it as a tool to teach me morals. Cheesy I know, but hey.
Weird, could've sworn there was already a thread on this. Oh well.
My first was probably Doraemon.
My first anime... Hm... I think it was between Sailor Moon and Doraemon.
I realized today that I was wrong. Sailor Moon and Akira were not my first animes.
When I was about 5 I watched Charolette's Web, got sad and refused to watch cartoons again. My mother went to the video store and asked the clerk for a good cartoon for her 5 year old daughter...the fool gaver her The Last Unicorn. I'm surprised I ever watched another cartoon again.
So my first anime was "The Last Unicorn".
Bubblegum crisis, Urusei Yatsura, and/or Evangelion when I was like, 7.

That must of been something at 10 all I had was Gundam 08th MS Team with Gouf Customs killing Guntank crew members.
Dr. Slump and Tonde Burrin.

Speed Racer. ON LASER DISC YEAHHHHHH
When I was very young I remember a cartoon about a young boy training to become a ninja and living in his grandfather's temple, I believe. Or maybe his uncle's or something. It was dubbed into French, and for all I know it was never released on the English market. However, if anyone has any idea wtf I am talking about, please let me know. I'd love to watch it again for nostaligia. The animation was very simple, the kid had that kind of typical cute round little boy look to him, big shaved melon-head and whatnot. It would have been on about two decades ago, if not longer. I was like, five or six.
After that, I'd have to say Sailormoon when it was released on north american TV.
Speed Racer, Key the metal Idol,Doraemon, Ranma 1/2, Pokemon, Sailor Moon, Dragonball :x
Before or after I knew what the term "anime" meant? If before, my very first one was Sailor Moon. Post, the second one is DBZ.

I must admit, Sailor Moon started it all for me. ^^;
Dragon Ball, then Sailor Moon, which I liked a whole lot better.
Mine was Ranma 1/2 in Spanish...really really old..then Sailor Moon lol
I had my first Sailor Moon shirt when I was turning 5 yay me!
Remember the Old public tv anime nights? it was Bubblegum crisis, Urusei Yatsura, and Macross/Robotech.
Slayers Season 1, Burn-up, Gunsmith cats, Patlabor, Tenchi OVA, Eva, 3x3eyes, Queen Emeraldas, Shadow skill, Macross, Area 88 OVA, Project A-ko, Hades Project Zeorymer, Dirty pair, Ninja Scroll, Devil Hunter Yohko, Armitage III, Iria: Zeiram the Animation...
Sorry about the list but I got carried away remembering all the series I used to watch growing up. Technically I started watching everything here around the same time (no joke) so I guess it counts...
(list edited down extensively, but not extensively enough...)
My Firsts were:
DBZ, Sailor Moon, pokemon, digimon, speed racer, and anything else that aired on Saturdays mornings during 1997
My first anime was Gundam Wing. ;D
Eight years later it is still my all-time favorite. <3
My frist anime before even knowing the term was Card Captors and sailor moon. However what really got me into it was Tenchi Muyo and Maze. When I was little I pratically loved the lineup shown on Toonami XD It was like my after school thing to do. XD!
I know there was a thread about this a couple of months ago, not to be bad guy or anything just use the old one.
Mine was Gigantor. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlWaTAZUxUQ)
Dragonball Z

I didn't know when I made this and no one really seems to mind.
My first technical anime shows, god I can't even remember the name, but it was a Japanese version of the Wizard of Oz. I watched it back when I was around 7. Also, the Last Unicorn, still love that movie. And Sailor Moon, when it was first being broadcast on UPN, as soon as school would let out I would run home and watch it. *sigh* Those were the old days XD
The first one I saw was Power D.O.L.L.S. (Detachment Of Limited Line Service) I was only a five year old that had no idea what it was and what I also didn't know was that it was rated 16 up :o there were no bad words but there was a scene with nudity in it, but since being only 5 I didn't care. Luckily my parents never saw it or there would be a lot of trouble stirring. But it wasn't what got me into anime.
Sailor moon all the way, man! I was also watching Dragonball Z at the time too! ;)
