Either Nils Holgersson or Around the World with Willy Fog, can't remember which.
The first fully Japanese-made was Dragon Ball, I think.

Yes, they were animated/produced in Japan, although often for European order and sometimes under a European director. The Spanish, French, and the Scandinavians worked a lot with Japanese animation studios in the 80s. Which means that to remember them, you pretty much had to be a kid in the 80s as well. So we are old. :(

Well in the case of Nils Holgersson it was directed by Hisayuki Toriumi, the studio who produced it was a japanese one called Studio Pierrot and it was produced for the japanese TV Network NHK. So yeah I would call this adaptaion of Nils Holgersson an anime.

Well I grew up watching Maya the Honey Bee, Nils Holgersson and Vicky the Viking and I was born 1993 so I wouldn't say that I'm that old :P
The thing is even my mom grew up watching the same shows I was just watching the reruns growing up but it was still a big part of my childhood. Also a lot of those anime are based on old European children books so for people outside of Europe and Japan those anime are maybe less known which could lead to less people remembering them.

I've seen them both (maybe they weren't new that time, but still :P )

I enjoyed these a lot, too !. The first animes I saw were Goldorak (Grendizer), Capitaine Flam (Captain Future), and Albator (Captain Harlock).
We are not old, we are just older than those kiddos :)

The first was Pokemon but I wasn't aware back then what anime is.
So the second (1st when I was aware it's anime) was Gundam Seed + Gundam Seed Destiny
3rd was Fate Stay/Night, which made me fall in love with anime years ago.
Now I watch only some shows every time season ends. Very small amount.

DB and Pokémon, they were part of the daily cartoon block in Italy (they still are, DB for sure :D)

I watched Spaceship Sagittarius when I was a kid. Then I saw few episodes of Pokemans when it first aired here. That's all I think, I just can't stomach the big eyed animus.

Pokemon has the appeal of a cartoon, so I don't really count it
My first Anime was Soul Eater.

I'd say "Dragonball", but it's more like "Mila Superstar" (アタックNo.1) or "Kickers" (がんばれ!キッカーズ) to be honest. :D

First animes I've been watching were aired in early 90s on polish TV channel Polonia 1. Back then I was really young (pre-school young) and didn' even know these were animes, they were just another cartoons I'd find randomly skipping TV channels. Anyway cannot be sure which was the first I watched, but from back then I remember titles like Yattaman, Tiger Mask, Toushou Daimos, Ulysses 31, The Mysterious Cities of Gold or Captain Tsubasa. First anime I was not watching randomly but following whole was Sailor Moon - probably because when it started airing I was 7, just started going to elementary school and it was airing right before I had to leave home, so it was a ritual - watching Sailor Moon during breakfast, then going to school and discuss newest episode with other kids (everyone was watching Sailor Moon back then).

Funny how despite being often marketed as a girls' show in this block (and probably in other countries), up until the 4th series, it was quite a unisex anime. (Taking all the pink cutesyness in Super S is quite difficult though, even if in the manga that part is actually the second best series.)

even if it's "girly" it is not even close to being as "girly" as western cartoons/tv series designed for girls. This is general for most of anime. Even in shounen is manga/anime for boys, girls can still enjoy it, even if Sailor Moon was targeted at girls, boys could still enjoy it (I loved all the action, betrayal, mystery etc ;p). A lot of western cartoons / tv shows think that if their target audience is girls the whole show can only be about love, emotions, shopping, doing makeup and nails and god forbid there being any action in it because it's a boyish thing!
My younger sister used to watch Slayers, Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya etc with me the same way I used to watch all the Magical Girls animes with her. I only stopped watching TV with her when she switched towards western stuff like My Little Pony, Hannah Montana etc later on.

Sailor Moon I've never said was on Polonia 1 ;p I now it was on Polsat ;) As for Ulysses and Cities - tbh I have no idea - like I said - I was like 5 when I watched these, maybe they were on another channel - I remember watching all "anime" on Polonia 1 but I may be wrong - don't judge my memories from 25 years ago ;p

Yeah, my first favourite anime 闘将ダイモス (Tōshō Daimos). I would add here Yattodetaman aired on Polonia 1 as well. You can check one of episodes here (italian dub - polish voice-over).

I've heard about "W Królestwie Kalendarza" but I don't remember watching it. Maybe it was first or last in anime block and I never caught it or maybe I simply don't remember it - anyway heard about it several times, looked up for it, but no bells ringed ;p

Pokemon, then 10 years later I watched Full Metal Alchemist which I guess I'd say was my first anime series.
I watched Ghost In the Shell shortly before that and didn't have a clue what was going on.

Pokemon and DragonBall, but I was too young and I didn't know that it was "anime", I thought it was just another cartoon. However, after a looong break and learning about anime, Hellsing TV series

I would say the old generation 1 transformers or Alfred J. Kwak, though you might not count them as pure anime since even though they were animated in Japan, the stories were made in a different country.
So other then that it might have been Sailor Moon

Agree. I think Transformers first seasons counts as anime. And it was my first too!

Cant remember, I think it was pokemon or DBZ. However, what got me into anime was Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO)

What Was Your First Anime?
What was your first anime ever? Some of you may have started with like a 20 episode anime, maybe some that started with 400 episodes of sheer epicness! My story began with Naruto! A suggestion from my brother. I played ultimate ninja storm with him, then I began the anime.
