first anime you have watched

[ebear215]

the first anime I watched was Sailor Moon. I was like 6. It never crossed my mind that the show was actually anime untul I got addicted to anime only a few years later. Funny how things work out. : P

that was teh same with me. but i never really have seen too much of SailorMoon. i was too young, and plus, i nvr had cable. i used to watch just a bit at my bestfriend neighbor's house. and i also have seen some on a video of a few episodes my mum bought for his step sister.

"Tell me, what was the first anime you have watched (sic)". Enough grammar Nazism from me for the morning though.

In response, "Akira" when it first came out, then a long hiatus until I discovered fansubs and watched "Elfen Lied" (HIGHLY recommended).

Last I looked [sic] was for quotes containing mispellings, not corrected quotes.

"tell me what was the furst anime you have watched [sic] "

I've no idea what the first anime I watched was. Starblazers, Speed Racer, ...some show where people flew in a plane that looked like a bird that carried 4 vehicles, one in each wing, one in the fusilage, and one in the tale. No idea what that was called.

Not anime but I remember Mighty Mouse, Felix the cat. And some Japanese show where people held their hands over their heads and turned into rockets. I loved that show.

I wasnt pointing out the misspelling (mainly because my spelling is very poor). I was just drawing attention to the poor sentance construction without further elaboration. Edit: And yes it probably would have been better to place it after the "have" *grin*.

I dont like/want to be grammar nazi, but seeing someone from England write such poor posts just irked me - HOWEVER I assume bobi_san is Japanese so he/she is QUITE welcome to shoot me down in flames due to my poor command of that language

Probably Sailor moon or pokemon, can't quite remember that far back

[alex_2096]

sailor moon and dragonball, then cartoon network airred gundam wing/outlaw star and cowboy bebop (man they were awesome)
but then for years after that that was all that was on the tv (actually tenchi muyu appeared at some point) and well.... stupid english TV

[Volts]

hmmm, I guess the first would have been Guyver, then Dragonball Z, Gundam Wing and Tenchi Muyo all on cartoon network. Worked my way up from there

I think Akira was probably the first "proper" Anime I saw, it was about 1992, and it was on BBC2's "extreme Japanese animation" late night TV spot. A year or so later, I bought the VHS, which was sadly in English, but still enjoyable. Last month, I had the chance to meet Cam Clarke (voice actor for Kaneda) and managed to get a few signatures off him. Which was nice.

Pokemon was the first anime I watched. I worshipped it back then, but now it is so cute I nearly threw up. I was sick that day anyway. My first real anime was Inuyasha. Now I watch Inuyasha, Naruto, FMA, FLCL, and Samurai Champloo.

Heh...I was young ok...I watched Sailor Moon...a lot I had a crush on her lol. And then over the years when Pokemon became popular I noticed that it was an anime lol.

[huskobon]

I'd say Neon Genesis Evangelion was my first. From that point on, I wanted to watch more anime ... lots more. ^_^

[spank]

so is anime just japanese animation or is it a particular style of japanese animation?

i first saw astro-boy when i was 5. were the original transformers and inspector gadget cartoons considered anime ?

That's something I was wondering too. I think they were.
