what was your first anime?
 

as painfull as it is my first anime was sailor moon :cry: :cry: :cry:

Scooby Doo

I didn't know it was anime at the time, but either Sailor Moon or Mega Man. I can't remember which I saw first.

First show that I saw a few random episodes from while knowing it was anime was Hellsing.

The first show I watched completly that I knew was was anime was Crest of the Stars.

First anime I bought was VanDread.

Sailor Moon when I was a kid, Initial D when I actually got into it.

These threads are pretty dumb, Doraemon for me

Sailor moon, but I'd consider Naruto to be my first anime because english anime sucks. When I was younger I didn't know this.

no one honestly knows at first

you're all wrong...you first anime was probably thundercats

I never watched thundercats.

Speed Racer and Thundercats as a lad... anyway, first I really watched was Cowboy Bebop.

Hmmm. I guess speed racer would be my first then, I never really considered it an anime(and never really watched it that much either.)

POKEMON!!! Pokemon ruled for like 5 years until it finally died down.

Voltron, Speed Racer, Sailor Moon, aw the great times when voice actors didn't matter.

Hah I was watching Voltron a few days ago at 4 or 5 am. Then I watched gigantor. Oh the old stuff.

Gigantor and Voltron seriously, was it on cartoon network like how they played that .hack series at that time on Sunday(or Saturday:confused: ) mornings. I'm guessing you're saying it's Monday-Friday correct.

Robotech, Voltron, Thunder Cats, and yes, Dragonball I believe those were the first anime I ever saw. Robotech I know was the first and I never watched Speed Racer but I knew about it.

Mine was something like Pizza Cats... Or Pokemon. The Pokemon anime is like a discarded foreskin to me. The games are like gold studded titties...

but we cann all agree our first anime was like WOW but then after we saw BETTEr animes we were like what is this shit?

My first anime was either Dragonball Z,Ronin Warriors or Sailor moon.I can't remember lol

Lol! True! I go back and watch an old episode of pokemon and everyone's smiling and happy and living in a land of marshmellows where the fairies give you extra lives ever few seconds and everyone eats pikachus for dinner...cheese...

Are there real animals along with the pokemon? Cause...you never see...like a...what's it called...rhydon or something....eating a pikachu or bulbasor or w/e...

Well sometimes but really the shows were good but with the very bad American voice acting and the cutting of the shows then yes I will look back and say that they were

Sometimes I wish I could watch sailor moon again but in japanese. I would now but it's a hassle to download them.

About a year or so ago I a company realeased the Sailor Moon Complete Collection Seasons one and two completly uncut and original no enlish audio only japanese with subtitles. I have it not to mention.

Darkstalkers.

also search for sailormoon in youtube you can find it subbed so i sounds beter than the crapy english voice they put when they dubb it

They made luna sound like an old woman ><

yeah i hated that ALOT

Agreed, I just watched an old tape recording of the show that I accidently found. And Whoa are they awful; And yes Luna does sound like an old woman.

When did we decide that Pokemon was anime?

The first anime I actually watched an episode of was Big O. Then the first anime I sat down and watched through was Trigun.

When it spawned from Japan, I believe.

Big O? You're a newcomer then. PSH.

well said

Star Blazers here. A.k.a Space Battleship Yamato.

Cowboy Bebop and Case Closed were my all time firsts then i got into many others

Case Closed was pretty good what happened to it?

If I remember, it's a REALLY long series. Maybe funi stopped dubbing it (I think they own the rights)

Well is it available on DVD or VHS in the USA or am I gonna have to trek all the way to Japan again?

Mine was either Dragon Ball Z or Akira(movie--we watched this a lot).

I knew it was anime because my older brother was into Anime, he had friends that were like 1-2 grades older than him, so they taught him what anime was and passed it down to me. We had DBZ parties every friday when we were little and all our friends on our block would come over and watch the new episode of DBZ with us. It was pretty tight.

...I can barely trek to Slackers right down the street...
