The Very FIRST anime you watched

[Neo Pikachu]

You turned on the television, then you saw an anime...

As for you, what is the very first anime appeared/watched?

[celsosalo]

The VERY first anime that I've watched was Inuyasha, i loved that anime

[Neo Pikachu]

I think that the first Anime I saw was between Dragonball Z and Pokemon. I strongly believe I saw DBZ first though.

It would have been Dragonball instead but they made those episodes after the Frieza Saga was over in DBZ. Then they repeated DBZ and started making new episodes of Dragonball until DBZ got back to the Frieza Saga, they had no choice but to move on with them both at the same time and then there was the Android Saga...

[Sableyed]

Pokemon.

The first subbed anime I saw was One Piece. I never watched the Dub.

I never liked the dubbed versions of some animes like One Piece and Naruto, they make the voices kind of childish and crop out some parts of the episodes

[Sableyed]

The dub of one piece is THE WORST THING OF ALL TIME!!! It ruined One Piece's chances at a western audience. I hate it so much when I see Naruto merchandise being sold but not a single piece of One Piece merchandise! I could go on forever about the problems with the 4kids dub!!!

[Ningamer]

Pokemon was my first animé. I was a massive fan of Pokemon, but didn't really know how to use a TV until I found myself trying to change the channel to Pokemon when it wasn't on XP

[Magmaster12]

Pokemon of course.

[Shadow]

The very first anime that I watched was Case Closed.
I can't forget the hours I spent watching it. It is my favourite anime.

I know they changed sooo many stuff in the anime like Sanji's smoke to a lollipop like WTF?!?! and worst of all the cover up the girls so they aren't showing ANYTHING like come on!! and other stuff i can't remember off the top of my head.

[Yoshi648]

Pokémon

[Jaredvcxz]

Pokemon.


The main order was:

Pokemon
Digimon
Gundam
DBZ
Gundam
R-word Kenshin
Yugioh
Yu Yu Hakosho

Those were the first anime I saw, in roughly that order.


EDIT: Carp, put gundam twice...


Well, for ther most part, you can consider each one as it's own series since they don't really follow a concrete chronology.

[Neo Pikachu]

Ah, if I was to put it in a numbered order from one to ten, it would more than likely be:

1. Dragonball Z
2. Pokemon
3. Zoids
4. Mobile Suit Gundam
5. Yu Yu Hakusho
6. Yu-Gi-Oh!
7. Ruroni Kenshin
8. Digimon
9. Beyblade
10. Surprisingly enough, I don't know what the tenth one was considering I started watching just about anything that came on television after I learned how long commercials are and how often more than one anime comes on at the same time on a different channel.

[Sableyed]

Anime I've seen, in order:

1. Pokemon
2. Yugioh/Yugioh GX
3. One Piece
4. Death Note
5. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
6. Code Geass
7. Cowboy Bebop
8. Baccano!
9. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
10. Mahou Sensei Negima!

[Neo Pikachu]

I don't believe I have ever seen nor heard of Baccano!, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, and Mahou Sensei Negima! before.

I might have to look them up, or I would if I had the time. Would you be able to give me a short summary on what each of them were about Sableyed?

[Sableyed]

For a summary of Baccano, see the anime recommendations topic. I wrote a long summary. I recommend it above all others, except maybe Cowboy Bebop.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is by the studio that made Neon Genesis Evangelion, and it's completely on the other end of the genre. Gurran Lagann is possibly the most over the top Humongous Mecha series ever. Humans have been forced underground by an the Spiral King and his Ganmen. Two young men, Simon and Kamina, discover a robot, join a resistance movement and the fighting starts there. Everything the characters do is made of awesome. The robots literally run on fighting spirit. The action gets better and better from episode to episode, and the things they do by the end are insane. It's Subbed and Dubbed on the internet somewhere, both pretty good.

I've just started reading Mahou Sensei Negima manga, and I haven't actually seen the anime yet, but I know there is one. I'm currently around chapter 67 out of 272. It stars a 10-year-old mage who is in training and has to teach at a japanese all-girls middle school. There are around 31 students he teaches, most of whom get distinct personalities. It starts out like a harem comedy but it turns into more of an action series as it goes along. It has epic magic fights, a bit too much fanservice, and a very shady ermine. I'm not done with it yet, and I haven't seen the anime, but it seems pretty good so far and it picks up as it goes along.

[Sub-zero]

Pokemon, then Street Fighter, then Dragon Ball Z. And now.... nothing.

[Swordfyre]

I am not a huge fan of Anime. I did watch Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh back in 2000 - 2004. Recently I watched Ghost in the Water. Amazing anime movie.

[The Spirit of Time]

Pokemon was my first anime I watched.

[Sableyed]

Oh, and is it counts, I've seen Ponyo. Beautiful animation, non-existent story.

[Neo Pikachu]

Ah, Sub-Zero pointed out another Anime I used to watch. It was probably number ten on my list from earlier.

Street Fighter/Street Fighter 2 was an awesome series. Other anime's to add that could be ten are Static Shock and X-Men.

[Jaredvcxz]

Static Shock and XMen aren't anime, they're just cartoons.

[Sableyed]

yes. X-men and Static Shock are not Anime. In order for something to be anime, it must be made in japan. However, some shows are animesque, like Avatar.

[Jaredvcxz]

And Avatar also has Anime elements.


i.e.:

Set in a Japanese/Asian-like world

Spirit-based powers

And just look at the names...

[oggiratina57]

my first anime was yugioh (the old version) i still like yugioh too.

PLEASE LEVEL US UP SO WE CAN EVOLVE!!!!!

[Sableyed]

Ahh, yugioh. I remember that show. One of my favorite shows as a child, not so much anymore. Though YGOTAS is hilarious.

[Luxray13579]

1.Pokemon
2.Yu-gi-oh

[OMGITSJAD]

That'd be Pokemon. Although if you are also wondering about first something-from-japan, then that'd be Power Rangers. 3:
Also, Yu-Gi-Oh was probably my 2nd watched anime.

[Ningamer]

My first was almost definitely Pokémon.
Second was Yugioh, but I stopped watching that as soon as it got to GX. Is YGOTAS a separate anime? x3

[MPCNewbie]

First anime I ever watched, DIGIMON!

[neomew]

mine would have to be pokemon

[PokeRemixStudio]

Pokemon. The first episode I saw was the one where they're in Koga's gym.

[AuraKshatriya]

To be honest, I think the very first glimpse of animé I got was when I was 4 or 5. Shortly before seeing Pokémon, I saw part of the movie Princess Mononoké on TV. But the first "show" I watched was Pokémon. I started on the very first episode, if I remember correctly.

[Will]

Digimon or Dragonball Z XD

[FreezeWarp]

I remember watching Dragon Ball Z back when I was 5 or so, but didn't like it. When I was 8 or 9, it became the first one I ever got into, though, with Yu-Gi-Oh following (and the only one I still like watching today, if only re-runs). I also got into Pokémon right around the same time, because they were back-to-back at the point.

[Jaredvcxz]

So basically you got into pokemon by mistake, right?

[Kaorto]

FreezeWarp, how can you not like DBZ?

[SK]

Naruto!

My buddy from school told me about it so I watched it as 2 AM one early Saturday morning, and I eventually watched the first 90 episodes or so. Then I got bored of it, I guess.

[kakashidragon]

My first was digimon and dragonballz. Ah digimon i miss that show
