Anime & Manga Your first EVER anime! ^^

[TopHatProductions115]

When I was a little kid, my dad had lots of old tapes in the basement. I would grab some, and hi-jack the VSR when no one was around. So, I ended up starting with Dragon Ball Z. This happened before I even knew what anime was, and before I had a computer of my own. When I finally started calling the shots on what I could watch, I started with Full Metal Alchemist and Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. I finished those two as my first two anime series - including OVAs. Good times!

 

[Nicesta]

Speed Racer followed by Dragon Ball Z and Winged Gundam. After that Evangelion (even though I watched others like Tenchi Muyo!, Ah! My Goddess, Lupin III, Pilot Candidate, etc... Eva stood out the most during that time period).

My First ever anime i ever watched in my life was Ouran High School Host Club I used to watch it a lot with my sister

 

[scorpiodragon]

Pokemon and Digimon were my firsts. If we're counting Sailor Moon...then I watched that as a kid as well.

Then...Death Note and Wolf's Rain at 19.

Black Blood Brothers and Inuyasha a few years after I turned 19 and I became hooked on anime.

 

[AkaiKamogawa]

Sailormoon. Although I admit, it’s cheesy when I try to watch it now.

 

[ScarDolphin]

Mine was Free! and I thought it was pretty cute, but it was Haikyuu!! that actually got me interested in anime^^

 

[Suggy]

First anime I watched all the way through was Angel Beats, as my sister recommended it to me, and had it on DVD. After crying for an hour I decided to watch other anime

 

[Evening Bloom]

I've always been watching cartoons as a kid. I think my first exposure to anime was Pokemon or Sailor Moon. I was too young to follow any story lines. But when I started watching Cardcaptor Sakura, I was instantly hooked. I think I could just relate more to the younger protagonist, Sakura, than to Ash or Usagi/Serena.

Black Butler was my first! Still a completely guilty pleasure honestly ;;

 

[prussian]

the first ever anime i watched was black butler, i'm pretty sure. i remember finding the dub on youtube around 5 or so years ago and getting frustrated that i couldn't find anymore dubs past episode 5 because i thought it was so hard to read subtitles and watch at the same time lmao but i eventually got used to it and prefer subs for most animes.

 

[Ookami-sama]

strangely enough my first was Ah! My Goddess still watch it from time to time. Big on rom-coms

 

[Zinai]

My very first anime is something I can't remember to be honest. I've watched too many since then and it's become a blur. My favorite anime when I began watching is definitely Code Geass. I love mech wars, and the merged story of both CG seasons was amazing. I heard there was a new Code Geass season coming out but haven't checked it out yet...

 

[MackrelMint]

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

 

[Emi Nebulas]

I feel like everyone will hate me when I say it.

Yes... My first anime was Diabolik Lovers.

Shoot me, please.

 

[Phosmon]

Dragon Ball Z!

 

[hwayi]

My god. Tokyo Mew Mew or Steel angel Kurumi, horrifying times indeed lol

 

[TannerDedInside2017]

Mine was Naruto

 

[Improbable_One]

Mine was either One Piece or Sgt. Frog. I can't remember.

 

[CrewlessCaptain]

Hamtaro or Sailor Moon

 

[midgardiyn]

Fruits Basket

 

[TheGamingSenpai]

If pokemon doesnt count my first anime i watched was Naruto

 

[CrowOuttaHell]

I only had two, at the time. And those were Weiss Kreuz and Magic Knight Rayearth. Good god, I remember how I memorized every single spell in Rayearth. Every single one...

W-W-Weeb. Also, those are pretty old school.

 

[Blemmigan]

Maybe this will put a date on me, but Fullmetal Alchemist. Not Brotherhood, the first one.

At least, that's the first one that introduced me to what animé was. Had it recommended by a friend, and then I was assaulted with people singing in Japanese in the intro, and getting the hang of the subtitles.

Of course when I was younger I watched pokémon and digimon and other things like that, though just the odd episode I caught on TV. As far as I knew they were just more cartoons.

Obviously, I now realise that the digimon English dub is a treasure.

 

[Proper Brit]

Toradora was my first. It was kinda odd for me, but watching it back is so heartwarming. Oh, and then I watched One Punch Man. I didn't watch anything like Naruto or Jojo's bizarre adventure, so I didn't really understand what the hell was going on, but re-watching it makes me think 'This just makes fun of ever other anime ever'
