An older Miyazaki one for me, Laputa - Castle in the sky, for some odd reason it was shown on tv here in the late 80's (amazing as it was made around that time) with an english dub naturally, it was tv in the 80's remember, sadly that dub seems lost forever now possibly from waht I recall it wasnt a bad one but I was young at the time. From there Akira springboarded me into more as it did for many

The first anime I ever saw was probably dragon ball Z or that one vampire hunter that has a talking hand that eats dirt...

The anime that actually hooked me onto anime was Love Hina... =D

Well the first would have technically been Salior Moon and then Pokemon, when I was little. But I never knew they were anime back then, just thought they were cool cartoons.

Laputa: Castle in the sky

i remember i watched it when i was 6 and i was hooked, but i never really knew the anime name, just remembered the blurry storyline.

When i came to canada, i was looking all over for this anime, and finally got the name of it, and bought the DVD, and THEN i got hooked on anime. Started watching all the Studio Ghibli films and then some other ones like EVA.

Lina
December 4th, 2004, 10:29 am
hmm.... It&#39;d have to be "Candy Candy" though I didn&#39;t even recognise it as anime until years and years after.....

The one that "introduced" me to anime was Slayers... And Naga the White Serpent&#39;s breasts going "boiiiiiiiiiing"........ O_O

I think that was the year before last..... garr... *looks at DVD shelf* .. ahem.. I guess I&#39;ve sorta "progressed" since then :P

Sailor Moon came after Slayers... The first series and Stars are my favourite... but only in Japanese.... the American versions of that and their "Sailor Says" just scaaaaaaare me... X_X

The first anime I watched was probably the awful dubbed Sailormoon. (hey&#33;.. at least it&#39;s a start&#33;). And the anime that got me hooked was Noir cuz of the dark atmosphere and soundtrack which just came out a couple years ago, so yes, I guess you can say that I&#39;m a pretty recent anime fan.

Samurai pizza cats & sailormoon the firsts anime I saw here at NZ 10 years ago.. It was funny, little me thought "wow, these were actually made in America?" XD

Hm.. the very first anime ever.. had to be Gundam 0083:Stardust memories..that got me hooked onto gundam series until I saw pretty much all of them (cept Wing, that sucks) and bought like 50 models.. which reminds me, time to wipe the dust off the displaying shelves XD

WHOA&#33; Six pages?&#33; This is a hot topic&#33;

Well, I must admit, my first anime was "Pokemon". However, the one that got me hooked (and is possibly the best anime I&#39;ve seen yet&#33;) was good ol&#39; "Rurouni Kenshin". Go Samurai X&#33; XD

The first anime I ever watched was stuff like &#39;Fighting General Daimos,&#39; &#39;Voltes V,&#39; &#39;Gatchaman,&#39; and &#39;Combattra,&#39; but they never floated my boat... the series that really sparked my interest was the original Macross. Then I saw Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind, and my mind went all to hell... but the only anime that has withstood the test of time for me is anything by Miyazaki and Orange Road.

I love it since I was about 5 or 6. Thanks to my cousin. She told me a lot about anime. I collected many stickers of Sailor Moon and a few VCD. You know, not much people know about DVD, I mean, 7 or 8 years ago&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

Cool&#33; a few people know AXN :sweatdrop:

let&#39;s see...the first anime I watched was Speed Racer and Akazukin Cha-cha, the occasional DBZ showed up, but the anime&#39;s that really got me into anime were (grammar?) Yu-Yu Hakusho (Ghost Fighter as it was called where I watched it), Ghost Sweeper Mikami (on AXN), and Cyber Team in Akihabara (AXN)

yep :P

Akira? I didn&#39;t like watsoever, eva&#39;s pretty good. Akira I hated and I "dont see what people love in it" X_X

Akira&#39;s my band teachers favorite anime/cartoon though :ph34r:

my first anime was my neighbor totoro, but the first thing i watched that i knew was an anime was akira, i almost barfed, i was little. and people like akira so much beacuse it had a deep moral meaning, you can hurt the people you love without meaning it, and when you need help, the dont care and because it was very detailed and had appeals to eastern audiounce (spelling) with the guns, gore, partial nudity (spelling once again),
gangs ect.

First was probably Sailor Moon when I was 5... but I didn&#39;t even know how to pronounce &#39;anime&#39; back then (Anaim anyone? :P). I was an obsessive fan of Pokemon when it became huge here, also. After that, I took a break from anime for about a year or two. Later on, I watched anime casually on cartoon network, with shows like &#39;Rurouni Kenshin&#39; and &#39;Yuu Yuu Hakusho&#39;, and enjoyed them. I also watched Cowboy Bebop, because I thought it was "cool" and 14+. :P

One Saturday, they replaced my Cowboy Bebop with a crazy show called .hack//SIGN, around the same time I was getting into online gaming. It was deep and suspenseful, and I couldn&#39;t wait another week to see the next episode. I got on the PC, and used KaZaA (I was new to computers at the time, leave me alone :P) to download the rest of it. To my surprise, it was in JAPANESE @_@. I was blown away by it.

I tried getting my friend that lived in Japan for his entire childhood into .hack//SIGN, but his favorite anime was "Neon Genesis Evangelion". Even being a casual anime watcher/manga reader at the time, I knew what it was. I downloaded the series soon enough (really crappy quality fansubs) and it changed my view on anime forever. However, I was missing an episode, so I decided to go to the BEST place to get anime, the IndyDDR forums (Don&#39;t ask @_@). A member had the episode I needed, along with many other shows on his FTP server.

I asked him how he got all of these shows, and he told me he used a program called "Bit Torrent" to download them. He gave me my first tracker link http://www.anime-kraze.net to download anime. The first "currently playing in Japan" anime I downloaded was Scrapped Princess.

...Whew&#33; That was one hell of a post. :whistle:

The first anime I ever watched was Sailor Moon, but I wasn&#39;t exactly a fan of the show at all. The first anime that got me hooked was (sigh) YGO. Why? I have no idea, but now I love anime (ya Kenshin&#33;) ^_^

I think that me posting is now pointless since the first anime I saw was also Sailor Moon. and the one that got me hooked was also the :sweatdrop: dubbed Yuugioh. (hate to admit it, but I still sometimes watch the subbed Yuugioh) :heh:

First anime? Uhh...Let&#39;s see...was it Pokemon or Sailor Moon? I was about 6. I forget. Anyway, I liked Sailor Moon a lot more. But it was years until I actually saw the connection between the two. And I first read the word "anime" in one of those NG Kids magazines. Then I started watching Yu Yu Hakusho...and the anime thing just stuck.

jaja binks
May 13th, 2005, 05:05 pm
i dunno man, can&#39;t remember the name of the series. it&#39;s about a rival to the main character, who did something odd and then the group of high school students (including the main character and his rival) got send to a different dimension. There is magic and fantasy stuff in that dimension, and the main character&#39;s rival joins the baddies. That&#39;s all i remember. (ps: the ending was kinda odd, it shows the main female character running towards the main character, and a pair of angel wing spread from his back when he hugs her?)

i&#39;m still looking for that series and i&#39;d be really greatful if anyone who knows this series would gladly tell me the name of the series. i watched it way back around 1999.

Shonen (as in Shonen jump, the magazine ) is japanese for boys, so its boy manga

Shoujo (as in Shoujo jump, the mgazine. saddly japan only) is japanese for girls, so girl manga

its more of the appeal factor, things that appeal to girls are in Shoujo manga/anima
things that appeal to boys are in shonen manga/anime

NARUTO&#33;&#33;&#33;

that&#39;s about it, except a few animes that gave me slight interest, but nothing really major so as to be written in this list.

Um, honey, Speed Racer isn't for children, I've heard about it ~ :hey:

What have you heard about it? *I* first watched it when I was 8 or 9! (And remember how old I am!) Then again, things were pretty different in the '60s and '70s -- we didn't have TV violence/language ratings (Hell; we didn't have cable, VCRs, DVDs, TiVO, etc. Talk about "primitive as can be"! :blink: ), and the term "political correctness" hadn't even been invented yet. (Although the concept was certainly gaining popularity... <_<) True, "Speed Racer" is probably rather violent by today's standards (I'd put it in with "DragonBall Z" or something of that ilk.), but it's no "Battle Royale"...

Next was DragonBallZ, but at the time I thought it was utterly stupid and that Vageta and Goku were constipated. lol! I also never knew they were anime, until I met my insane anime freak friend when I was 8 or 9. ^_^ And finally the two that really made me an anime freak were Yu Yu Hakusho and Rurouni Kenshin! I lub them! Then s-CRY-ed. And I've been wanting to see Fruits Basket REALLY bad but I can't! T_T Wah! Oh well, I'll just cling to my Kenshin like a sophisticated little fangirl. XD

Um, I think mine was Pokemon... it might have been something else, like Cardcaptor Sakura, but I think it was Pokemon... I don't remember what I watched before it though... it was always the WB... @_@ Maybe not. Anime cartoons are better for you than American cartoons though. XD I didn't start watching American cartoons until I was seven, which was two to four years before I started to watch anime. Damn, I still remember the first episode of Pokemon, but not Cardcaptor Sakura. Probably because they still play Pokemon... (I think that thing is on it sixth season now... :blink: Must be they're trying to get as long as Friends [eleven episodes, man!]) Heh-heh, I still watch Pokemon though... :heh: :whistle:

I think my first was either a single episode of Sailor Moon or many episodes of Pok&#233;mon. So what, it was cool! Gotta catch 'em all!

I think my first anime was Dragon Ball Z >.< if that even counts as an aime. I was in the 3rd or 4th grade and I became obsessed lol.

The first (and only) anime series I've ever completely watched is Samurai Champloo :D (not the english dub x_x I can't get through en episode of that without trying to kill my T.V.)

lol. I feel so bad for your tv!

Now that I thought about it...I don't think I've ever seen an entire anime series.:cry: My first episodes might have been Megan, or Cardcaptors and Escaflowne. Back when they were on tv. I'm not really so sure though. I saw shows like DBZ and Sailor moon later, but I never got hooked on those. DBZ came on way to fuzzy and Sailor moon came on before or during school. I don't remember anymore. x_x

EDIT:

Did I say Megan? I meant Megaman.

The first anime I've watched is either Sailor moon or Voltes V... but I'm not so sure:unsure: . My dad said I'm an anime freak since birth. I can't really blame myself. Who wouldn't want to watch anime anyway:eyebrow: !?!

I think Poke'mon is almost 10 years old and Sailor moon must be around...30??
I watched those two since I was 5..
Then I stopped for 6 years then I watched YYH and Kenshin on Cartoon Network, then I liked anime again~

Mmm, technically, it was Cardcaptors, long ago, when it was aired on WB, but I'm not going to count that, since I was glued to anything on that channel anyways. The first anime that really got me hooked was Rurouni Kenshin--the Japanese dub, mainly due to Kenshin's different noises, including the classic, "oro?!" I hate the English dub to bits. :(

Pokemon or Sailormoon.....about nine years ago, I think. Then I saw Cardcaptor Sakura and Samurai X. Samurai X got me hooked onto anime!

Ooh, two muffin men.

Anyway...let's see, my first anime movie has to be Kiki's Delivery Service (and I had no idea that it was anime in the first place) then Digimon. I was a rebel, 'cause I refused to watch Pokemon until maybe 6th or 7th grade :P

I guess that'd be Pokémon or Sailor Moon. But back then I didn't know what manga/anime was. Years after I stopped watching Pokémon, I heard a song which I started to like. I looked up it's origin, and found that it came from an "anime" called "Gensoumaden Saiyuki". That was my very first contact with manga/anime.
Then, 2 years ago, I followed Card Captor Sakura on swedish television. Loved it and still love it. Well, sometimes the characters are a little dull, but I guess that's because it's supposed to fit 10 (and younger) year olds.

For me, it was Sailor Moon. When I was little. But I didn't start watching any other anime shows until InuYasha, years and years later. Now I'm a major anime fan.

Pokemon. (happy memories of trading cards and pokemon blue and red!)
But then the first anime I watched properly was....wait for it....Neon Genesis Evangelion. I thought it looked cool cos of the Eva Plug Suits. I was never aware of any controversy until I looked on the internet after watching EoE. Oh.

'80s child here. I too was exposed to anime, but it was not called that back then. Come on, we had Thundercats and Silverhawks! They were awesome. And Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Pokemon was after I was past the 'cartoon' stage, but I still liked it for some reason.
Then I recently saw some Miyazaki films and it dawned on me.
This is good stuff.
The beauty, symbolism, is all but absent in our lazy, cheapened western animation.
Now, my favorite is NGE. I'm going to watch them all. Then perhaps I'll try Ghost in the Shell series.
