My first anime was DragonBall Z. When I saw the characters moving fast as heck and doing all those martial arts and energy blast, I couldn't believe my eyes. I was thinking who in the world came up with this? At the time, I thought all the animation/cartoons were from America.

Haha! Good question! My first anime was Sailor Moon. Man, that show rocked! I moved to Tenchi Muyo and then I watched Hamtaro on Tsunami while it aired. I didn't know much about anime or anything but three of my friends intoduced me to Inuyasha in... 5th grade, I believe. I just watched an episode an nodded my head, having absolutely no clue what was going on. I really hadn't paid much attention to it, that is, until my friend brought a Oh! My Goddess! manga to school in 6th grade. Thanks, Rachael! I talked about with some of my friends and I soon found out about FMA and Inuyasha. I scanned sites, trying to figure out more about them and soon caught on to the plot of Inuyasha, which is so dang hard without help! It takes me (literally, I've done it three times) and hour to explain to my friends (and my friend's Aunt Judy!) the structure of that story! I soon became obsessed and then went back to my three friends to talk to them about my newly found interest, only to find out that they were then disinterested. It took some time, but I eventually got them back to watching it, reading fanfics, gushing over everthing that happens, etc. Now I like Inuyasha, DNAngel, and I'll watch FMA every so often. I, sadly, also watch the fruity little animes that are intended for little 5-yaer-old girls; Princess Tutu, Princess Yucci, Angelic Layer, Diamond Daydreams and Kaleido Star. (-_-)' Thanks to one of my friends, Selena, I'm now getting into Furuba. (I started watching it yesterday and I got so into I started embarrassing myself!)
Hehe... I just realized that as I'm writing this I'm wearing the 'Will work for anime' shirt from Hot Topic... how ironic. (^_^)

Hands down since I didn't have the luxury of cable like most people had, it was Sailor Moon. For some reason, she reminded me a lot of Punky Brewster which was a very popular idol for girls at the time, plus I liked the 2-d aspect where anything could happen because it's animation and it didn't need any explaination.
Next must have been Dragonball (for a while it was on cable and prime TV, then switched back to only cable), and finally Cardcaptors.

Mine was either DragonBall Z or Pokemon. I think DBZ but I'm not sure. Anyway I wasn't aware of any other animes until my cousins exposed me to Rourouni Kenshin, Fushigi Yugi, and Yu Yu Hakusho. Then I became extremely obsessed with anime in 2002 and learned about some of the coolest anime out there and began to collect manga.

The first ones I saw were Sailor Moon and Pokemon but what actually got me interested in anime was Dragonball Z it was just so cool with all the fighting and super saiyan stuff.

You have to go back quite a ways for the start of anime. Starblazers was one of the first that you could watch on TV at regular times, but that was a long time ago. That was the first for me. Robotech had me hooked for a while too.

The first anime that I ever watched was Thundercats, but I did not get in to the anime stuff until much later when Toonami aired Gundam Wing. I blame my best friend for getting me hooked on that show, and anime in general.

I watched sailor Moon on its first run (Before Toonami) but it didn't really make me want to watch more anime. What did was Tenchi Muyo In Love, watched it on Sci Fi Saturday Morning Japanimation. I was like this is interesting, a comedy/drama/romance/sci-fi/etc. And have been hooked ever since.

Do you think of greater human beings could watch anime if it exchange into made in u.s.? properly, anime does not possibly be a similar that way yet perhaps. i are not getting why some human beings do in comparison to anime and contact it infantile. lots of my acquaintances who learn that i like anime bypass "Whoa, u r into that stuff?" and that i hit upon it rather stressful coz a number of them think of that its stupid and infantile it is so not real! X( yet perhaps if it exchange into made in u.s., then greater human beings wud be conscious it and attempt observing it or some thing? IDK! Yeah, some human beings rather do say that they don't prefer to observe eastern stuff. Dat is relatively rude! I ? Anime and manga XD Bonus question: Do you have a primary e book? (different than manga and the twilight sequence. LOL Edward ftw!) i like the Twilight sequence ? however the 1st e book is the appropriate out of all of them! I even have lots of favourites - maximum primary different than Twilight wud be Harry Potter a million - its the appropriate and that i like it way better than different Harry Potter books.

The first one I remember watching was Speed Racer. But I think it goes back further than that, to the anime version of King Kong.
