What's the first anime series you ever saw in your life?

[Kura]

OMG I REMEMBER THE FLYING HOUSE ONE TOO.

They also played that one a lot too.

Not so sure if it was Ranma 1/2, Sailor Moon, Saint Seiya, Candy Candy or The Flower Child Lunlun. All of them used to be on air on national TV when I was in kindergarden

I really liked The Flower Child Lunlun , even if I don't remember too much about it.

the first one i watched in its entirety was soul eater, i liked the decent english VAs and the unique style

Conan.
Hence the detective boy comic, I guess.

I think it was that host club thing that my older relatives (kind of) showed to me as a kid..

[Jenny-Toons]

Pokemon and Yugioh, though I believe Pokemon was the first anime I ever own merchandise for. I vividly remember my mom buying me the Pokemon: The Movie 2000 VHS and the a few of the plushies.

[mariusthered]

from start to finish i think it was ikkitousen , but i never really watched any until i got into the cartoonist side of art

[DiegoPalacios]

Dragon ball was the first one, unless we count some older shows my brothers watched, but don`t remember them well, except for a catchy son about a "lord of the robots" and "captain future"

I think I saw a single episode of Pokemon and didn't care about it that much. Then, I went to a friend's house and she was really into anime, so we watched some random episodes from Naruto and DragonBall. Once again, I didn't really care at that point so I didn't watch anything after that.

The first thing I actually watched in whole was Rakshasa Street, a Chinese anime. I got into it a lot more afterward.

[Kelheor]

Sailor Moon!

[Twinvizions]

Not 100% sure, but I think our first anime series were Doraemon and Chibi Maruko-chan. This was a loooooooong time ago.

Doraemon

Chibi Maruko-chan

Pokemon, Dragon Ball, Tenchi Muyo, Digimon, and Sailor Moon.

[Maps]

Pokémon and Zoids.

The first anime I actually watched as I got older was Soul Eater.

[demthorshie]

A random VHS of Bubblegum Crisis subtitle my dad bought from the swap meet was the first official Anime I watched in the early 90s. Anime didn't make its rounds in the US yet and this was before Pokemon was out yet so I didn't know what to call it yet aside from Japanese cartoons.

[unknown_user]

The first I've seen on TV was either Candy Candy or Sailor Moon.

The first I've found and watched by myself on PC was Ghost in the Shell. I hadn't good internet those times, so I bought it on CD in online shop, and waited for delivery of that CD for a month!
The second one was Ghost in the Shell 2: innocence. The third one was Ghost in the Shell: stand alone complex... Ok, I'll stop now

[Jevlin]

It was Pokemon for me too but only because it was one of the Saturday morning cartoons. I vaguely remember Megaman and something about a short witch (It had the word slay or slayer in the title if I remember correctly) but the first one I really got into is Sonic X and then Yu Yu Hakusho. I loved that one.

[punkarsenic]

mmmmaybe bleach? besides catching bits of pokemon and yugioh.

i was like 9? and mainly into ghibli, and got sent on this like gifted and talented weekend thing that was all about manga and anime, and they showed us bleack and inuyashu. i never ended up watching either on my own though bc they were too long

the first anime i properly WATCHED was either death note or hetalia. i mostly just read manga though

In the UK in the early 70s all we had was Marine Boy, and at the age of 5 I was convinced it was some sort of relative to TinTin – it never occurred to me that it was Japanese at all. A few years later, in the wake of Star Wars, Battle of the Planets arrived, which was a retooled version of Gatchaman with a robot called 7 Zark 7 added to explain all the plot points that couldn't be shown in British TV because of the violence.

[StrangeVision]

The very first one was probably this anthology of fairy tales that aired on nick jr., done in that 80s/early 90s anime style. I remember it being legit.
Then before I even saw Pokemon, Sailor Moon or Dragonball which were the gateway anime for most others I knew, my family accidentally rented Slayers episodes and Golgo 13 The Professional from Blockbuster. Don't remember what we were trying to rent, but I was kind of blown away by the whole thing.
My mom didnt want us to watch Golgo 13, but me and my brother definitely did while she was at work.

[amberberry]

Pokemon and Sailor Moon were my first anime although at that time I didn't know they were anime. Yugioh GX and Bakugan were also series that I watched. I probably saw like two episodes of Dragonball too at some point.
The first anime I watched knowing it was anime was Fairy Tail,
