What was the first anime you watched?

For me it was Ghost Hunt at 6:00 in the morning because I couldn't record it for later.
>>
First watched subbed anime when I was 13 years old. Watched Yugioh GX Season 4 on youtube in Japanese because it was never dubbed into English. Any other anons do that?

Howl's Moving Castle back when Toonami was a thing. More of a film but whatever.
>>
>>136171838
Outlaw Star on Toonami like 10 years ago.

If you are talking about watching animu on the internet, then Zero no Tsukaima for me.
>>
>>136171838
Ghost in the Shell movie. It's still probably the best I've ever watched.
>>
Does Moomins count?
I'm pretty sure I watched that shit dubbed before I knew what Japan was.
>>
>>136171838
Doraemon, Chinese dub. To this day I still feel uneasy reading or watching it in any other language.

Probably shit that was called mitsubachi māya no bōken and I watched it long time ago
>>
Scryed, FMA, Cowboy Bebop, TTGL
TTGL is the only one I have never been able to watch completely to this day because its terrible
>>
>>136176351
How far did you go in TTGL?
>>
Pretty sure it was a space mecha anime back when I was 5. Don't know the name of it, and the only scene I remember from it was a girl bitchslapping some guy then walking away.
>>
>>136176381
Episode 12.
Watched the last 6 episodes or so back then though. I was more interested in the space shit than whatever was happening in the show.
>>
Elfenlied...

I believed that it was the best anime for like 1 or 2 years
>>
>>136176172
Nothing big I guess just life continuously to throwing shit at Heidi's face I notice the changes after watching the CG remake of the show.

The very first as a normie probalby was DBZ or Ranma.

As anon it was Rozen Maiden and it was because of the desu spam.
I don't know how to feel about it tbqh

Toriko.Because the person who recommended it knew i liked dbz as a child.

Robotech.
Would watch with my dad in the mornings

Sounds ridiculous but the way I actually got into anime was by randomly watching Rosario + Vampire on Netflix and the watching Fullmetal Alchemist.

I have no idea why I even went ahead to watch anything else after that. 12 year old me must've enjoyed that shitfest.

Nowhere to go but up I guess

Well, the first anime I watched was probably Yu Yu Hakusho , but I was too little to care about it or to even understand anything. Now if I were to talk about the first anime I became interested in, I'd say either Dragon Ball Z or Cardcaptor Sakura, I started watching both of them I was about 5 or 6, I think.
>>
>>136171838
Gundam Seed
Never finished it, but I do remember as a kid something about a naked pink girl.
>>
>>136171838
I think was Love Hina on net
On tv was DBZ
>>
On TV, DBZ.
On Subs, Gundam Seed.
>>
>>136171838
Subbed anime, HOTD because i was watching zombie movies at that time and it looked cool.
>>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFjZjXHrLU0

This one
>>
Sword Art Online. People can shit on it all they want, but it is a really good gateway anime just like Attack on Titan.
>>
Watching anime on TV was such suffering. You never knew when the broadcaster would pull the plug or the anime would enter in a infinite loop of reruns because they didn't bought the rights for the next season.
>>
Probably Pokemon.

However I count CSS as my first anime. Jumping from that to Rurouni Kenshin is kinda weird, now that I think about it.
>>
Speed Racer followed by Voltron.
>>
>>136179965
Your age is probably similar to mine. CCS, Pokemon and Rurouni Kenshin were also some of my first anime. However, CCS is the only one that I like to this day.
>>
>>136171838
On TV: Either Pokemon, Digimon or Ranma. I don't remember.

Ranma was also the first one I watched subbed years later because the German dub only covers like 60 episodes.
>>
>Pokemon as a child's, localized shill cartoon.
>Mon Colle Kights, as a closer to real anime experience with some fanservice.
>Inuyasha, as a true unfiltered anime in it for the fanservice, just dubbed.
>To Love Ru as pure undubbed, first true anime experience. Also for the fanservice.

Hard to choose, since they all feel like firsts for me.

The very first anime that comes to my head... I do not remember its name but the hero was a kid fighting robots with a squirt gun. The robots were made with cylinders and. Then a huge robot appears and the kid shoots at the leg but the squirt gun does not damage to it. Other robots in the anime fly on a car breaking down AA guns. To this date I still can't recall the name of this one.

The 2nd anime I can recall for ms is tied between Space Battleship Yamato, Astro-Boy and Queen Millenia at 7:00 AM Saturdays.

DBZ when I was about 6. My dad was watching it when I was getting ready for school. It's his fault I'm a weeb.

first anime i really watched was death note, i did give fma b a try back and the day and even disliked its opening back then

As a kid, without following the plot or anything:
Cardcaptor Sakura
Hamtaro
Yugioh

Watching seriously:
TTGL
Green Green
Mirai Nikki
Black Rock Shooter

In that order, unless I forgot about something

Sailor Moon. I remember being shy about watching that shit in front of my mom.

Pokemon or Dragonball

>girl bitchslapping a guy then walking away
Zeta Gundam?

First manga was FMA in health class because I was bored. The guy named Ben Thong who sat next to me leant it to me.

First anime was Sgt. Frog in highschool anime club. Those were the days.
>>
Attack on Titan
>>
First anime was either Dragonball or Gundam : Wing.
But the first i actually bothered downloading and watching each week was Death Note (best experience ever going home with my best friend and getting stoked for that iamgay.
>>

Pokemon obviously, death note was the first anime I watched online.
>>
>>136183795
oh god. ive blocked this shit out of my memory. im pretty sure i cried at one point in this show when I was like 10 or 11. There was no easy access to DL stuff from internet for my age at that time. I literally used a Home Alone talkback thing to record that one song from TV that plays when they find all the crystals or some shit.

I specifically remember as a kid that anime back in the 90s was filled .. with some sort of magic.
>>
>>136184051
It was actually really dope for the first two years. Plenty of joking and discussion as we watched, cool people. Then most of the witty people graduated and a bunch of quiet people and guys who just played maplestory in the back joined and things kinda fell apart.
