Your First Anime?

IIRC it must have been Sailor Moon, then it was Pokémon, then Digimon, after that it was probably Yu-Gi-Oh!, and semi-recently it would be Death Note. I might have forgotten some though i watched all of the above because of what they were, rather than because they are animes, or i was so young i didn't yet know what anime was.

Regarding the poll: It was hard to choose, reading minds would be cool, and flying could be fun, but in the end it was between becoming a dragon (I mean, come on! Also, i'd probably be able to fly then too, heh.), or talking to animals. I ended up voting for talking to animals since that would have the most discreet practical use, though again dragon is really tempting.

...i could probably have made that shorter.

When I was child it was Sailor Moon, Macron 1, Robotech, Grendizer.... It was more than 20 years ago, so I don't remember order.

Much later I met anime again, starting with Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Pokémon I guess

No idea since lots of them were shown on TV but back then they were just cartoons. Stuff like Maya the bee, Taotao etc.

But first I watched on my own knowing it's anime was Urotsukidouji.

Haven;t watched one yet

At a younger age I didn't differentiate Japanese animation. Willy Fog and Maya the Bee probably were the first, but they weren't so different from other cartoons of my childhood.

After I learned what anime is my first one was Wolf's Rain. The second and the third ones were Hellsing and Evangelion.

Ulysses 31or Heidi, I can't remember.

First one I actually watched rather than just catching snippets of on TV? I think it was Hellsing. It was not very good :(

Unless we count Moomin as an anime. That one was quite good for what it was.

Dragonball the original and pokemon the original and after that from more serious things and learned what anime is Fullmetal Alchemist the first one (which were not accurate to the manga) and at the same time also Neon Genesis Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop

Dominion Tank Police.

Well i watched Dragon Ball on tv when i was like 6 years old, loved it ever since.

Although I'd occasionally caught episodes of various anime broadcast on TV as a child, the first anime I properly watched, enjoyed, and appreciated was The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

Corpse Party anime got me into more anime

Very first anime for me was pokemon or sailor moon (not sure which one i saw first because i saw them around same time)
The very first anime i watched from start to finish was digimon (first gen)
The very first anime which i knew it was an anime not just simply cartoon while watching was shaman King (and yu gi oh ) (again i watched both around same time)
The very first anime that i watched on computer (not tv ) was bleach
The Last anime i completed was one punch man
The anime i am currenly watching is mob psycho 100

The very first i think was Heidi, the first one that i saw with subtitles Record of Lodoss War tv

100% sure it was Pokemon, long time ago

Circa 1980 I used to sometimes catch bits and pieces of Star Blazers on TV as I was getting ready for school. I was 12 or 13 so it being a cartoon might've been a bit embarrassing if I was caught. It was on before a show my sister watched so that was my cover.

First anime I watched and took seriously was "Akita." I rented it on VHS, then bought it off the used shelf for a fin.

The first anime I watched aside from the ones that were broadcast on TV (which I don't count for this because it was a bit infrequent) was Girls und Panzer. And no, that's not a typo, japanese guys seem to enjoy using german words. I was introduced to this and the world of non-broadcast anime by my best friend, who at the time was also my roommate. I miss that time...

Nowadays, I find myself wanting to watch more anime but can't find the time... Sadly because there's so much good stuff out there (I mainly mean music, games and anime here but of course there's even more) :/

The Vision of Escaflowne

I think Hokuto no Ken followed right after by (in order) Ranma 1/2, DragonBall, Inuyasha and some others i dont remember...

Not really sure which was first, but one of these: Urotsukidoji, Dragon Half, Golgo 13, Ninja Scroll, Riding Bean, Ghost in the Shell, Akira

what is animu?

It's been a long time, but it probably was the anime about those guys ...
