Anime What was the first Anime show you saw.

Oops, how could I forget Doraemon! I think my age is showing...

 

My first anime was Sailor Moon. I was obsessed with it for a little while but then
I realized that it was sorta stupid and it got boring.

------------------

 

My first anime was Akira which i saw about 8 or 9 years ago, i could say samurai pizza cats but at the time i didnt actually know what it was

 

Sailor Moon was the first anime i have seen or was it Akira ???

 

I grew up watching those kids cartoons... things like "Twelve Months" (excellent one!), "The Magic Pony" (okay I think that was Czech if I remember how it was animated), and "Little Women" (yes the Japanese did do a version of this!) and of course "Unico" which I totally loved (despite the fact that I remember it being kinda scary?). So if you want to count these as anime, then I guess they would be my first forays into the genre.

However, as an adult who 'came out' as an Otaku when I was 20, my first anime was "Project A-ko" followed closely by "Shoujo Kakumei Utena".

Back when I was in middle school,the local Public Access channel would show anime on Saturday mornings. I don't remember exactly the first anime series I saw on there,but they would show anime movies. I saw Kiki's Delivery Service that way,but what really got me started on anime was seeing Miyazaki's "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" ("Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa") on that Public Access channel.

InuYasha - ahh memories...

 

Ohh! Nausicaa is a beautiful film! Sadly, I can't seem to find it anywhere now save for a dubbed American release called "Warriors of the Wind" >

 

I know what you mean. I also thoroughly enjoyed Laputa ("Tenkuu no Shiro Laputa") and Mononoke Hime when I saw them (HS Japanese class and anime club,respectively).

InuYasha - Miyazaki is so not respected here!

 

I have vague memories of staying up late as a kid and seeing Vampire Hunter D at like 1am, tho I'm not sure when that was. So I guess it was also Transformers for me.

 

That's strange. You'd think after all the press Mononoke got in the US that his earlier stuff would be more respected...huh.

For my first anime, it was either Doraemon, Nausicaa, Castle in the Sky, or Totoro

 

i dont really remember the first anime that i watch, but the first anime that i like is Detective Conan and my age when i watch it i guess 10 or 9 years

 

my first anime was DragonBall haha

 

The very first anime i remember watching that was dubbed was i believe Scamper... although i didnt know what anime was at the time, but it was about this lil penguine...

 

=þ mine was i think dragon ball...

 

i've read all of these posts and yet, i haven't seen one Iria! Iria was the first anime i saw...i was...7 i think. with the big monster thing that had a wierd Noh Mask for a face??? ringing a bell for anyone???

 

as a child i watched transformers, speed racer, voltron, candy:glazed: , saint seiya, but to me, that stuff was just cartoons, so i would say that my first anime is Saber Marionette J, i just love SMJ, J again is okay, J to X is a disgrace, R is :dizzy2:

 

The first anime i ever saw was actually Princess Mononoke... and that awsome acheivement in anime got me into it and i dont think i will ever get out of it....

Seeing as how X/1999 exists...

 

Sailor Moon was my first anime! ^_^
